THE U.S.S.W. DESCRIBES THE THREE-STAGE EVOLUTION ROUTE TO THE ASI:
PHASE I: "INTELLIGENCE EMERGES", AI HAS BROAD-BASED INTELLIGENCE BY LEARNING A GREAT DEAL OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE。
PHASE II: “INITIATIVE ACTION”, AI HAS THE CAPACITY TO USE AND PROGRAM TOOLS TO “SUPPORT PEOPLE”, WHICH IS THE CURRENT STAGE OF THE INDUSTRY。
PHASE THREE: “A SELF-INTEGRATOR”, AI, BY CONNECTING THE PHYSICAL WORLD AND LEARNING FROM ITSELF, EVENTUALLY “BEHIND THE MAN”。
1AI noted that Wu Xiaomu revealed in his speech that Ali Baba is actively pursuing a three-year AI infrastructure project with a total investment of 380 billion yuan and that the company will continue to invest more and more. The plan is to prepare for the coming ASI era. According to Wu, energy consumption at the global data centre in Ariyun is expected to increase tenfold by 2032, compared to 2022, which is considered GenAI. This shows the importance that Ali Baba attaches to AI's future and to long-term planning。
IN HIS SPEECH, WU XIAOMU ALSO SHARED TWO OF HIS LATEST JUDGMENTS ON THE TRENDS IN AI. FIRST, HE THOUGHT THAT THE BIG MODEL WOULD BE AN OPERATIONAL SYSTEM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION. IN THE FUTURE, ALMOST ALL TOOL INTERFACES TO THE REAL WORLD WILL BE LINKED TO LARGE MODELS, AND USER NEEDS AND INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS WILL CARRY OUT THEIR TASKS THROUGH LARGE MODEL-RELATED TOOLS. LLM (LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL) WILL BE THE MIDDLE LAYER OF THE INTERACTIVITY BETWEEN THE USER, SOFTWARE AND AI COMPUTING RESOURCES, AND WILL ACT AS THE AI-ERA OPERATING SYSTEM。
Second, Wu Yui-hyun suggested that AI Cloud would be the next generation of computers. He noted that AI would replace the status of energy as the most important commodity, driving the day-to-day work of industries. Most of the AI capabilities will be generated and transmitted on the cloud computing network in the form of Token, which will become the "electricity" of the future。
