Action Plan for the High-Quality Development of Computing Infrastructure and Technology Ethics Review Measures (Trial)

◎Reporter Li Yanzheng

Six departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued the “Action Plan for the High-Quality Development of Computing Infrastructure”, and ten departments including the Ministry of Science and Technology jointly issued the “Technology Ethics Review Measures (Trial)”… Recently, multiple departments have intensively released important measures to accelerate Develop new productive forces.

Wu Yin, a professor at the School of Economics at Southwestern University of Finance and Economics and director of the Institute of Political Economics, said in an interview with a reporter from the Shanghai Securities News that computing power and ethics are equivalent to the “power system” and “braking system” of the new industry respectively. Only with the coordinated action of “accelerator” and “brake” can emerging industries and future industries run fast and steadily.

As the main frontier of new productive forces, strategic emerging industries and future industries require high-quality computing power to provide energy.

The action plan will guide the high-quality development of computing infrastructure and proposes quantitative development indicators by 2025 from four aspects: computing power, carrying capacity, storage capacity and application empowerment:

In terms of computing power, the computing power scale exceeds 300EFLOPS, and the proportion of intelligent computing power reaches 35%. In terms of carrying capacity, the national hub node data center clusters can basically achieve direct network transmission with a delay no higher than 1.5 times the theoretical delay. The optical transport network (OTN) coverage rate in key application sites has reached 80%, and the backbone network and metropolitan area network are fully supported. The use of new technologies such as IPv6 and SRv6 accounts for 40%. In terms of storage capacity, the total storage capacity exceeds 1800EB, and advanced storage capacity accounts for more than 30%. In terms of application empowerment, more than 30 application benchmarks will be created in key areas such as industry, finance, medical care, transportation, energy, and education.

“At this stage, we must build a solid foundation for computing power.” Zhang Lei, deputy general manager of Inspur Computer Server Product Department, believes that with the diversification of application scenarios, the intelligent application scenarios of the Internet and general industries are gradually diverging. Coupled with the rise of artificial intelligence, the impact on The demand for computing power is changing from the previous single general computing to critical computing, special computing, accelerated computing, etc. The differentiation of computing has put forward more requirements for computing infrastructure. For example, the development of application scenarios such as autonomous driving and intelligent manufacturing has put forward clearer requirements for computing infrastructure.

Technology is an incrementer of new productivity. To make good use of this incrementer, we must give full play to the role of science and technology ethics and guide science and technology for good.

On October 8, ten departments including the Ministry of Science and Technology jointly issued the “Technology Ethics Review Measures (Trial)”, clarifying that emerging science and technology activities that may pose greater ethical risk challenges require expert review and review.

The seven activities that require ethical review include the research and development of algorithm models, applications and systems with the ability to mobilize public opinion and guide social awareness; and the automated decision-making system with a high degree of autonomy for scenarios where there are security and personal health risks. Research and development; clinical research on invasive brain-computer interfaces for the treatment of neurological and psychiatric diseases, etc.

“Almost all of these seven scientific research activities are related to future industries. However, review and review are not to restrict the development of future industries, but to protect their healthier development.” Wu Yin said.

To develop new productive forces, relevant ministries and commissions have taken a number of measures.

Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology organized the work of unveiling the future industrial innovation tasks in 2023. Focusing on the four key directions of the metaverse, humanoid robots, brain-computer interfaces, and general artificial intelligence, it will discover and cultivate a group of advantageous units to accelerate new technologies and new technologies. Product landing application.

Five departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also issued the “Three-Year Action Plan for the Innovation and Development of Yuanverse Industry (2023-2025)”. Subsequently, the Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the “Yuanverse Standardization Working Group of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology” Preparatory Plan (Draft for Comments)”).

Experts believe that the above-mentioned future industries represent the development direction of technology and industry. They are industries with high technological content, sufficient green development, strong industrial correlation, and large market space. They are also industries that achieve deep integration of innovative technologies and multiple fields. These are all It is an important feature of new productivity.

“To develop future industries, we cannot apply previous policies for mature industries. If we use too many policy subsidies and incentives, it will easily lead to disordered development, duplication of investment, and new waste of resources. Strengthening top-level design and overall coordination is essential. For example, in the future The industry is characterized by disruptive technologies, and cities with strong scientific research foundations may be more capable of taking the lead in deploying, and then radiating and driving other related areas.” Wang Bin, vice chairman of the China Technology Entrepreneurship Association and director of the Beijing Advanced Science and Technology Development Institute, told reporters express.
