Global AI Governance New Trends: As competition intensifies, the window for global AI governance discourse is narrowing. The G7 issued a communiqué on digital competition, discussing competition issues triggered by AI-based technologies and seeking global cooperative dialogue. The United Nations Future Summit adopted the "Global Digital Compact," discussing the opportunities and risks brought by emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, and called on governments to commit to establishing an independent international scientific group for artificial intelligence.
AI Large Model Cost Analysis: The cost of training large AI models is continuously increasing. For instance, GPT-4 costs approximately $78 million, and Gimini costs about $191 million. Training a trillion-scale large model within 10 days would cost around $1.43 billion.
China AI+Manufacturing Industry Research Report: Policies related to the application of artificial intelligence in China's manufacturing industry have driven breakthroughs on the technological front, laying a solid foundation for AI to empower new types of manufacturing.
Li Feifei's Team Releases the "2024 Artificial Intelligence Index Report": The report reveals the joys and concerns of AI large models. In 2023, the number of new large language models released globally doubled compared to the previous year, with two-thirds of the models being open-source. However, the highest-performing models come from industry participants with closed systems. Despite a second consecutive year of decreased private investment in artificial intelligence globally, investment in generative AI has risen sharply.
