In the summer of 2024, a new wave of artificial intelligence was set off in the global technology community: breaking through the bottleneck of language understanding, AI painting tools caused copyright disputes, and autonomous vehicles started road testing in many cities. While technology is soaring, the Italian government has banned due to privacy issues, Hollywood screenwriters have gone on strike to protest AI's replacement of creation, and Musk and thousands of scientists have jointly called for the suspension of super-strong AI training. The balance between technology and ethics is shaking, how do we find a balance between innovation and security?

1. Technical breakthrough: comprehensive penetration from laboratory to life scenarios

In the first half of 2024, the scale of my country's core AI industry exceeded 500 billion yuan, the replacement rate of intelligent customer service exceeded 85%, and the coverage rate of medical AI-assisted diagnostic systems in Grade A hospitals has reached 92%. The average daily order volume of driverless taxis in Yizhuang, Beijing has exceeded 30,000, and Shenzhen’s AI garbage classification system has increased the processing efficiency by 40%. Technology is reshaping social texture at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The capital market is also hot: the global AI field financing increased by 210% year-on-year in the second quarter, and big models such as Baidu Wenxin Yiyan and Alibaba Tongyi Qianwen competed to iterate. Founder Altman admitted: "We are creating more disruptive forces than the Industrial Revolution."

2. Undercurrents: The three hidden worries behind carnival

Employment earthquakes Data from the International Labor Organization shows that 83 million jobs worldwide may be replaced by AI in the next five years. After a manufacturing company in Guangdong introduced an intelligent quality inspection system, 300 quality inspectors were transferred collectively. Master Wang, 38, smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that the first person to be eliminated was the eyes of humans."

Ethical dilemma A university in Nanjing exposed a case of students writing papers with AI, and the academic integrity system encountered challenges. What’s even more serious is that deep forgery technology has led to a black industrial chain, and a live broadcast platform intercepts more than 2,000 AI face-changing frauds per day.

The latest research from Stanford University in the security black hole shows that mainstream big models have 32 potential risks, including ideological bias, privacy leakage, etc. The EU has urgently passed the Artificial Intelligence Act to implement tiered control over high-risk AI.

3. The way to break the deadlock: build a "Chinese solution" for technological development

Institutional innovation Shanghai Pudong New Area pilots the first "AI sandbox supervision" in the country, allowing enterprises to test innovative products in a closed environment. Shenzhen has established an algorithm filing system, requiring APPs with monthly active users to disclose algorithm logic.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has launched a special action of "Artificial Intelligence " and plans to cultivate 500 benchmark artificial intelligence enterprises within three years. Zhejiang has launched the "AI Technician" training program to help workers in traditional industries master human-machine collaboration skills.

Value-leading Tsinghua University established an artificial intelligence ethics research center and proposed the development criteria of "good algorithm". Several technology companies jointly issued the "Responsible AI Declaration", including moral evaluation into the entire R&D process.

Standing at the crossroads of the Anthropocene, what we need is not fear of technology or blind obedience. Just as the manuscript of Leonardo da Vinci depicts both aircraft and thinks about human anatomy, real progress will always be the double helix of technology and humanities. When Beijing Zhiyuan Research Institute implanted the training data of the "Tao Te Ching" to the AI ​​model, it may imply that Oriental wisdom can provide a new solution to this global proposition: the ultimate coordinates of technological development should always be the continuation of human dignity and civilization.
