Embarking on AI path with Chinese style

Guo Wei, chairman of Digital China, and other panelists attend a seminar on global vision and enterprise innovation in the artificial intelligence era held at the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom, on March 13. CHINA DAILY China's progress in artificial intelligence has jolted the tech world, with the meteoric rise of Chinese AI large language model DeepSeek set to challenge Silicon Valley's dominance due to the former's cost-effective and open-source approach, which is inspiring wider application of the technology by companies across various sectors. "In the digital transformation of enterprises, we not only need to maintain the versatility of large language models, but also tailor it to the needs of specific industries and enterprises across multiple aspects, including computing power, models, enterprise knowledge and intelligent agents, to achieve the 'integration of generalization and specialization'," said Guo at a seminar held at Cambridge University on March 13. Redesigning businesses "AI has already achieved great success and played a significant role in the field of scientific research," Guo said, adding that the continuous evolution and interaction of technological paradigms, business models and management methods, is the core driving force for building new engines in the digital era. "Therefore, I believe the Chinese people will certainly go out on a different road for AI development — a path with its own characteristics," Guo said.
