Experts and scholars discuss the development of the next generation Internet: innovation drives security powerment_Guangming.com

This year marks the 30th anniversary of China’s full access to the Internet, and the 20th anniversary of the groundbreaking development of the next-generation IPv6 Internet. Standing at this historic node and looking to the future, what wonder will the next generation internet bring to the world? What challenges will they face?

On the morning of November 21, at the “Next Generation Internet” Forum at the Wuzhen Summit of the World Internet Conference 2024, participating experts and scholars held in-depth discussions on the topic of “Empowering Security Led by New- adaptation: Building an Open and Secure Next Generation Internet”, to jointly make recommendations for the promotion of high-quality innovative development of the next generation Internet and ecological security, symbiosis and mutual prosperity next generation global internet.

“Focus on people, intelligence for good.” How important is artificial intelligence to the next generation of Internet applications? In terms of artificial intelligence, what limitations will the use of the next generation internet face?

In response, Mohammed bin Ammo, Director General of the Arab Information and Communication Technology Group, responded with three words: “smart”, “sustainable” and “security”. He said that artificial intelligence makes people’s activities more intelligent, and that it will also help people to promote sustainable development and make development safer.

Rafael Ignacio Sandoval Morales, chairman of the IPv6 Technology-Academy Forum of Latin America and chairman of the Colombian IPv6 Council, also said that artificial intelligence greatly supports the next generation of the Internet and will reshape society . In addition, artificial intelligence can also reduce human errors and increase productivity.

“As long as there is enough data and enough training, many problems can be solved,” said Liu Xinmin, senior vice president of H3C Group, as artificial intelligence is increasingly used on the Internet. , that complex networks can be supported in simple ways as well.

“AI for networking” is only one aspect of artificial intelligence in the next generation of Internet applications. Cai Dezhong, vice president of R&D and head of network infrastructure at Alibaba Cloud Intelligence Group, explained another aspect of “networking for AI”, such as including large-scale model training for intelligence, using models big AI for code development and software quality testing, etc. .

According to Liu Qianwei, vice president and chief data security scientist at Qi’anxin Group, in the development of the next generation of the Internet, artificial intelligence is a double-edged sword that can be applied on a large scale to optimize productivity , but if it comes into the hands of criminals, it will be an offensive weapon. Liu Qianwei said that the high-quality data sets on which large-scale artificial intelligence models are currently not complete and need to be developed, when general large-scale models are applied to the industry, there will be problems with sufficient professional knowledge and it is necessary retraining In addition, when using artificial intelligence, personal privacy issues may arise.

“Every coin has two sides,” agreed Rafael Ignacio Sandoval Morales. He suggested that the level of government should continue to evolve so that different industries can join this conversation and “encourage” the artificial intelligence that each industry needs to achieve interconnection and productivity. to develop. Working together and collaborating across borders allows better understanding.

Experts agree that international cooperation plays an important role in the security and development of artificial intelligence and the next generation of the Internet. Liu Xinmin said that there is a need for international cooperation in implementing AI. Currently, in creating AI-Link and UEC standards, different countries are working hard to reach specific standards and specifications. Providing a good computing power network is likely to further promote the advancement of artificial intelligence technology and networking technology itself, expanding the Internet from large networks to better computing power.

Jeon Gil-nam, an honorary professor at the Korea Academy of Science and Technology, also said that an open and secure Internet for the next generation should be built. “This is an area where international cooperation is needed.” Quan Jinan said that China has done better in new social infrastructure and hopes to launch international cooperation with China.

Looking to the future, how to make the next generation of internet smarter and safer?

Liu Qianwei said that the next generation of the Internet is a great transition, and only through integration and innovation can better solve a series of forward-looking problems.

In Cai Dezhong’s opinion, cost is the main issue that is currently hindering the large-scale use of AI technology. Solving the problem of too expensive computing power requires technological innovation in all directions. Cai Dezhong said, on the one hand, we should promote the reduction of chip costs, and on the other hand, we should think about how to make network technology universal.

In addition to being driven by innovation, building the next generation of the Internet also requires the power of security.

Li Zhengmao, chairman of the board of directors of the World Cloud Broadband Industry Association (WBBA), said that he strongly believes that future networks will inherit the genes of openness and cooperation of the Internet, learn from the strengths of others with an open view, and that he will make sure. security and control with technological innovation.

“Thirty years ago, our dream was to allow every student in China to use their own computer to access the Internet of opportunity and hope,” said Li Xing, deputy director of the Education and Research Computing Network Center. Chinese scientist and professor at Tsinghua University.
