On May 26, it was reported that Wang Huaimin, an academician of the CAS Member and director of the CCF Open Source Development Committee, delivered a keynote speech entitled "Inspiration of Open Source Innovation" at the Zhongguancun Forum on Artificial Intelligence Open Ecological Construction. He discussed three issues with everyone. First, what are the advantages of open source innovation? Secondly, what role does the government play in the process of open-source regulation? What are the key points of open source innovation in China, especially in artificial intelligence?

Wang Huaimin introduced that in the past five years, the development of large models in the field of artificial intelligence has been very rapid, and people hope that large models can become an important technological pathway for breakthroughs in general artificial intelligence. According to expert statistics, there have been approximately 45 large models with parameters exceeding 10 billion in the world in the past 5 years, including 32 in the United States, 9 in China, and 4 in Europe.

He pointed out, "We need to attach importance to the leading role of open source models in attracting developers and defining consumers in an era of uncertainty. In this process, we need to have a government, an effective market, and an organic society, and we need to improve our impact on the open source ecosystem

How can China contribute to open source innovation in artificial intelligence? How to make efforts especially in ecological construction? He talked about, "With the advent of the era of artificial intelligence, can China stand at the top of a higher innovation chain in this process? In today's competitive environment of deep development, which has not seen a great change in a century, China should achieve self-reliance in high-level science and technology, get rid of the constraints in high-end scientific and technological innovation not because of our low ecological niche in the ecosystem, and how we should lead the improvement of competitiveness in interdependence, I think it is necessary to build Build a platform

Wang Huaimin said, Specifically, to enhance our influence in the field of artificial intelligence open-source, we need to build a platform that serves the world and China's artificial intelligence open-source innovation. We need to have confidence, resolute action, and long-term persistence in this area until we cultivate globally influential open-source projects originating from China, including artificial intelligence projects. Only in this way can we enhance our influence, competitiveness, and high-level self-reliance in this field A strong level of development

He pointed out that only by building such a platform can we attract more celebrity projects to participate in the open source innovation ecosystem. At the same time, it is necessary to cultivate celebrity projects, such as ChatGPT, which has the leadership to attract more developers and define users. "Today's AI development is at such a tide, we can't just position ourselves as fans, we should become the main product makers who define the stage and stars, which can improve our innovation ecological niche."
