1.VIRTUAL WORLD COMES TO LIFE AT WAIC
世界人工智能大会：虚拟世界走向现实
The World AI Conference 2023 opened today with more than 500 exhibitors showcasing their latest technologies and services at venues in Pudong, Xuhui and Minhang. Reporter Zhang Yue visited one of the sideline venues in Zhangjiang this morning to tell us about the highlights.
2023年世界人工智能大会今日（7月6日）开幕，500多家参展商在浦东、徐汇和闵行三大分会场展出了各自最新的技术和服务。今天上午本台记者张乐参观了浦东张江分会场并向我们报道了展会上的一些亮点。
Switching one backdrop to another might be easier for a news anchor【新闻节目主持人】or a reporter like myself when covering various events. This virtual stage studio system provides hundreds of 3D virtual backdrops, and special effects that can be changed in less than one minute. The system is being used for fashion shows, livestreams, press conferences, and corporate recruitment events.
虚拟舞台让新闻主播或像我一样的记者在报道不同事件时可以更方便地切换背景。这个虚拟舞台系统提供了数百种3D虚拟背景和特效，而且切换时间还不到一分钟。该系统可用于时装秀、直播、新闻发布会和企业招聘等场景。

“比如说在电商直播场景，也能够更好的让用户停留在直播间，让大服饰类目的所有的商品展示能变得更有趣味性，可以有效的让你的直播账号你的投流效率变得更好，这只是非常简单的一个应用场景的介绍。那另外一个方面呢就是从大家日常的生活直播场景到企业级的传播，到广电影视类的这种需求，我们从软件做了大量的场景的适配，大家可以从提前为大家预设的这些几百套的场景库里面找到自己可以拖拽像用个人使用的那些非常方便的软件一样快速上手，然后把自己的个性化的内容输出出来。”
“Livestreaming scenes can now be more creative, which will make product presentation so much fun and attract more viewers. It’s also very easy to learn and use, just like most smartphone video editing apps.”
People are also able to take a virtual tour to space as an astronaut, or be a firefighter operating a scaling ladder and putting out a huge blaze【大火】.
人们还可通过虚拟太空旅行体验一下做宇航员的感受，还可通过虚拟场景成为一名消防员，并操作云梯参与一场大火扑救。
Shen Pengyan, Exhibitor
沈朋雁展商
“比如说我们有一块内容是操作一个云梯，一个云梯的话大概是要几百万，那很多其实消防队员他们其实是没有机会去真实的去操作的，那么我们在VR的世界里面可以1:1的还原这个云梯的整个的一个操作的一个模式。像消防、军事、线下娱乐，还包括像无人机培训啊这些领域都有，然后我们这款产品今年下半今年下半年的话会会实现一个量产。”
“A scaling ladder costs up to a million yuan, and firefighters don't usually have the opportunities to exercise by using a real one in everyday training. However, our system provides an immersive scenario just like the real one. Mass production of the product will begin this year.“

This vest I'm wearing helps me move in different directions in the virtual world. I feel much less dizzy using this compared to VR goggles. The vest also vibrates. For instance, I can feel it when I was hit by a meteorite in space, making for a more immersive and fun experience.
我现在穿着的这个背心可以帮助我在虚拟世界中向不同方向移动。与VR眼镜相比，这件背心能够减轻体验者的眩晕感。而且这件背心还会震动。比如，当我在太空中被陨石击中时，我可以感受到震动，增加了整个体验过程的沉浸性和趣味性。
Compared to a two-dimensional map navigator, finding places via your smartphone may become easier. This company has helped Zhangjiang Science City create a holographic model.
与二维地图导航相比，智能手机导航有了人工智能技术的加持会表现更佳。该公司已协助张江科学城创建了一个全息模型。
Shi Zhiru, Exhibitor
石志儒展商
传统的导航都是二维，在二维基础上从a点到b点，但是比如说我真的是在途经的路上，我能看到什么有趣的事情，看到什么样的风景，其实在我们传统的这些导航里头，对于我们最终的用户来说，或者是我们的老百姓来说，其实都没有直观的印象的，所以说呢我们这一次在张江科学城，然后将我们张江科学城的中区进行了一个1:1的自助孪生的这么一个复刻，然后构建了一个自助孪生的一个服务性的一个基础的系统
Digital twin technology helps you have a clear idea of what coffee shops or restaurants are on your way from a subway station to your office. It helps to virtually present real-world objects and environment. This will be very convenient for people working in an industrial park like Zhangjiang Science City.

“Right now this AI technology is really very revolutionizing, including the twin cities program, and the avatar, the online avatar. I think that's something that would really change the way we work.”
“现在这种人工智能技术真的非常具有革命性，包括城市自助孪生，线上虚拟人物。我认为人工智能将真正改变我们的工作方式。”
At the conference's Xuhui venue, entrepreneurs, professors, and scholars in the AI industry were invited to share their views on how our future will be shaped by artificial intelligence, and how the technology can be better adopted in the finance, video game, and movie sectors. Xuhui District is now home to more than 760 AI companies including Montage Technology, Yitu, and Transwarp. The district said the sector generated 17.7 billion yuan in revenue in the first three months this year, a 23.5 percent increase compared to the same period in 2022.
在徐汇分场，人工智能行业的企业家、专家和学者受邀分享了他们对人工智能将如何塑造我们未来，以及如何更好地将人工智能应用于金融、视频游戏和电影行业的看法。徐汇区目前拥有超过760家人工智能企业，其中包括澜起科技、依图科技和星环科技。徐汇区表示，该区人工智能行业今年前三个月营收额达177亿元，同比增长23.5%。
2.AI CONFERENCE TRADES INTELLIGENTIDEAS FOR INTELLIGENT SYSTEM
人工“智”造 ：AI理念赋能智能系统
Staying with the World Artificial Intelligence Conference, our reporter Zhang Shixuan spoke to several companies to find out how the latest large AI models can be applied to industrial manufacturing, medical care and container transport.
持续关注世界人工智能大会的同时，本台记者张诗旋还采访了几家企业，以了解最新的大型人工智能模型如何应用于工业制造、医疗保健和集装箱运输领域。

Artificial Intelligence is now a big topic of discussion in all kinds of businesses. Of course there are always significant concepts that really are ahead of the pack, and that may include this year’s hottest topic, large AI models. A raft of Chinese tech giants announced launches of their own models in the first half of the year, but are some of them really just attempts to cash in on a popular topic, to get some good publicity? Or are they serious attempts to dig into some real world problems? Today at the World AI conference in Shanghai we’re going to try to find out some answers.
人工智能现已成为各行业讨论的热门话题。在这其中总会提出一些超前的重要概念，其中就可能包括今年最热门的大型人工智能模型。今年上半年，许多中国科技巨头都宣布推出自己的大型人工智能模型，但巨头们此举是单纯地蹭热度宣传自己的企业还是真的在尝试解决行业存在的现实问题？今天我们将在世界人工智能大会上寻找答案。
The word“AI model” is everywhere in the exhibition hall. SenseTime was one of the tech giants that launched big AI model sets this year and it has already turned models into real applications in energy and industrial manufacturing. What makes the new models a turning point is the additional capabilities that they can empower in the industrial world. And that’s what creates new possibilities for tech applications.
展馆中，“人工智能模型”一词随处可见。商汤科技是一家于今年推出了大型人工智能模型的科技巨头，该企业目前已经将该模型应用于能源和工业制造领域。新模型之所以新在于它们可以为工业赋能，为技术应用创造了无限可能。
Wang Guizhu, General Manager of Digital Energy, SenseTime

“产线和产线之间以及这条产线来料的不同，都会使得算法发生效果的过程当中会产生一定差异。比如说货检漏检的数据的体现上，那这些其实是会对AI的落地的这个技术的效果产生挑战的，过去这个问题没有太好的办法，我们很多时候是要靠把研究员再派到现场，再去做二次的适配和调试和训练，现在的话这个效率能够使得我们能少量的研究员加上底层的技术支撑，很好的提高这部分的效率。”
“The differences between different production lines and the source materials can create new gaps in the results generated by previous AI algorithm, as in product inspections. But in the past, we didn't have many good solutions to this problem, so we had to dispatch researchers to the site, and conduct secondary adaptions, debugging and training. Now, with the new basis of technology, we'll only need a very small number of researchers, a big improvement in efficiency.”
Applications like these have already proven their effectiveness in lithium battery production, helping save 60 to 80% of costs, and doubling or even tripling a researcher’s efficiency.
人工智能的应用使锂电池的生产成本降低了60%-80%，这证明了人工智能的应用是有效的，而且研究人员的效率也提高到了原来的二倍甚至三倍。
Wang adds that, another benefit of the large models is how they can connect recognition and decision, instead of having to make different individual settings based on differentscenarios【场景】. That has already been applied to the electrical grid sector and to medical care.
王贵珠还补充说，大型模型的另一个好处是它们可以做到识别和决策的无缝衔接，无需根据不同场景调整设置。该技术目前已应用于电力行业和医疗保健领域。

“比如说全身上下不同的器官，不同的部位不同的疾病，包括它的这个数据模态也是非常多样的，包括CT、磁共振和医学文本，那么过去要训练这个医疗AI的模型，要针对具体的任务来单独的进行训练，要进行数据的标注，所以他的工作量是非常大的。那么现在自从大模型发布了之后，我们发布了医学的基础模型群，包括了语言的大模型，也包括了不同医学影像的大模型。”
“For different organs and different diseases, the data models can be very different, in both CT and magnetic resonance tests. In the past, we had to train different AI models based on each individual task, and annotate data seperately, which required a huge work load. But now, with our new large models, we have launched basic model sets for medical use, including a language model, and a medical screening model.”

The popularity of large AI models began with ChatGPT, which offers a natural language processing model that can be targeted on and offered to individual users. But is GPT’s popularity just a bubble? The increase in the number of visits to the program had been slowing since February, and last month for the first time actually fell, by almost ten percent. If its popularity is declining, what is the future of the large AI model?
大型人工智能模型的普及始于ChatGPT。ChatGPT提供了一个智能的个性化自然语言处理模型。但是，GPT会不会是昙花一现呢？自今年2月以来，该程序的访问次数增速一直在放缓，上个月出现首次下降，下降幅度接近10%。如果其受欢迎程度下降，那么大型人工智能模型的前景又会如何？
Wang Guizhu, General Manager of Digital Energy, SenseTime
王贵珠商汤科技数字能源总经理
“大模型的技术会越来越倾向于多模态，只是在目前这个阶段呢在这个NLP这个赛道上是相对比较成熟，而且也呈现了这样的井喷，但是其他的维度是一个逐渐落地的过程。那么从实际场景的需要来讲，它也是希望一个多模态的呈现的。因为你搭建这样的模型是一回事，模型的智能化程度是要靠不断的场景打磨，本质上是一个场景打磨算法，软件定义硬件的一个过程。”
“The large model technologies will be more focused on multi-mode use. But now, natural language processing seems relatively mature in this field, and is growing exponentially【以指数方式】. But regarding the demand from real applications, multi-mode is the future, because the intelligence of a model is continously developed through scenario applications.”
It’s not just AI developers who have been digging into the applications of the large models. This Shanghai-based autonomous truck maker has also come up with a new 24-hour logistics service run by its self-developed large model, called Terminal GPT. Thanks to the new big AI model, the service is able to integrate into one analysis -- the vehicles, the people, the distances and the energy requirements in ports and factories - it all makes container transport safer.
不仅仅是人工智能的开发人员在深入研究大型模型的应用，这家总部位于上海的自动驾驶卡车制造商最近新推出了一项24小时物流服务，该服务正是由其自主研发的大型模型Terminal GPT支持运行。在大型人工智能模型的支持下，该服务能够将车辆、人员、运输距离和港口、厂区的能源需求等信息整合到一起进行分析，从而使集装箱运输更加安全。
Chen Yi, Brand PR Manager of Westwell
陈怡（未找到中文名音译）品牌公关经理
“集装箱物流场景里面其实是非常复杂的，因为它会涉及到非常多的机械设备、车辆以及非常多的任务调度，那在这种情况下，我们的Terminal GPT相当于一个拥有20年操作经验的一位老师傅，比如说可以推荐各种关键性能的智能操作，可以辅助我们的运营人员做出最优的决策，进而可以提升生产作业的效率。Terminal GPT可以跟我们的车队管理系统进行连接，可以对于我们生产作业场景里面的车队实现更好的车队级的任务分发和最优路径的选择。”
“Container transport is very complicated, involving mechanical equipment, vehicles and many task assignments. Our TerminalGPT acts just like an operator with twenty years of experience, and helps operators make the best decisions so as to enhance efficiency. The model can also be linked with our truck fleet management system, and make the best dispatch assignments and other routine choices.”
It's not hard to see that the new large AI models have given the original AI systems and technologies the capability of making both decisions and predictions - abilities especially needed by industrial scenarios.And that is a basic characteristic of AGI -- artificial general intelligence.
不难看出，新型大型人工智能模型赋予了原来的人工智能系统和技术以决策和预测能力，这正是工业场景所需要的。这也是通用人工智能的鲜明特点。
3.COMMERCE MINISTRY SAYS EXPORT CONTROLS DO NOT TARGET ANY COUNTRY
商务部：出口管制不针对任何国家
The Ministry of Commerce said today that export controls on gallium and germanium are not targeted at any specific country, and the implementation of such actions conforms to internationally recognized practices. Song Wenjing has the story.
商务部发言人表示，对镓和锗实施出口管制措施不针对任何特定国家，这是国际通行做法。
宋文静带来详细报道。
Trade restrictions on the two metals used in computer chips and solar panels were announced on Monday. Companies in China now need to apply for a license to export the metals. The commerce ministry spokesperson said this conforms to internationally recognized practices.
本周一，中国政府决定对用于计算机芯片和太阳能电池板生产的两种金属采取出口管制措施。中国企业若想出口以上两种金属需申请出口许可证。商务部发言人表示，这是国际通行做法。
Shu Jueting, SpokespersonofMinistry of Commerce
束珏婷商务部新闻发言人
“出口管制不是禁止出口，符合相关规定的将予以许可。中国政府实施出口管制，不针对任何特定国家。在发布公告前，中方已经通过中美、中欧出口管制对话渠道进行了预先通报。”
“Export restrictions are not a complete ban on exports, and items that comply with regulations will be granted permits. China does not target any specific country with the restrictions. Before the announcement of the restrictions, China had notified the European Union and the United States through export control dialogue channels.”
The commerce ministry has yet to receive an application to export either metal. Also at the briefing, the spokesperson expressed concerns about the further suppression of Chinese semiconductor companies by the United States.
目前商务部尚未收到企业对两种金属的出口申请文件。发布会上，发言人表示恐怕美国将会进一步打压中国半导体企业。
Shu Jueting, SpokespersonMinistry of Commerce
束珏婷商务部新闻发言人
“中国是世界上最大的半导体市场，芯片销售规模约占全球的1/3美方的做法不仅损害中国企业正当权益，也将损害众多国家和地区的利益，阻碍全球科技交流和经贸合作，最终将反噬自身。”
“China is the biggest market for semiconductors around the world, accounting for around a third of global chip sales. The US government's consideration of export controls on artificial intelligence chips is detrimental to Chinese companies' interests and hinders global economic and trade exchanges and cooperation. Such actions would eventually harm the interests of the United States.”
The spokesperson also said the Chinese government will continue to pay close attention to developments related to the release of contaminated water from the inoperable Fukushima nuclear power plant. China will carefully assess any possible effects to protect Chinese consumers.
发言人还表示，中国政府将继续密切关注福岛核电站核污水排海问题的进展。中国将全面综合评估该方案可能产生的影响，以维护中国消费者的权益。
