Technological innovation is a new driving force to promote economic growth and development, and will also reshape the future industrial structure and development mode. At the 14th Annual Meeting of the New Champions of the World Economic Forum (Summer Davos Forum), which is being held in Tianjin, a series of cutting-edge technological issues such as flexible brain-computer interface technology and generative artificial intelligence have become the focus of discussion among participants.
During the forum, the organizer released the “Top Ten Emerging Technologies Report for 2023”, revealing the emerging technologies that will have the greatest impact on the world in the next three to five years. These include: flexible batteries, generative artificial intelligence, sustainable aviation fuels, engineered phages, a metaverse for improving mental health, wearable plant sensors, space omics, flexible neuroelectronics, sustainable computing, and AI-assisted medicine.
“Emerging technologies will disrupt industries, promote economic growth, improve lives and protect the planet. Of course, the premise is that these technologies can be designed, scaled and applied responsibly.” World Economic Forum Executive Director, Director of the Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Jiang Ruijie said. “We hope this year’s report will serve as a powerful tool for business leaders and policymakers to unlock the transformative potential of emerging technologies and shape inclusive adoption.”
As a drug R&D company driven by generative artificial intelligence, Insilicon uses cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology to revolutionize the drug R&D process. Dr. Alex Zavoronkov, Founder and CEO of Insilicon Intelligence, said, “Generative artificial intelligence can improve life, but the biggest problem it faces in the future is how to improve accuracy. Using generative artificial intelligence technology to empower Can, can achieve excellence, safety and effectiveness in target discovery, compound generation, clinical trial design and other links.”
Exponential growth agriculture also received much attention at the Summer Davos Forum. Orbillion, a technology start-up company in Silicon Valley in the United States, uses high-density cell culture technology to rapidly grow artificial beef using animal cell tissue, and is expected to achieve commercial production in the next few years. Samet Yildirim, co-founder of the company, told reporters that traditional agriculture and animal husbandry require a lot of land and resources, and the carbon emissions of artificial beef produced by new biotechnology are only 5% to 10% of traditional farming. Resource input is reduced by 90%, and such a factory can produce 2 million tons of artificial beef per year, thereby producing artificial beef sustainably and with low input.
Yang Hui, chairman of Cloud Account (Tianjin) Sharing Economy Information Consulting Co., Ltd., said that in the process of economic recovery, technology can bring stronger impetus, and the digital economy will be the most promising direction for the future development of the world economy. In the field of new formats of the digital economy, digital technology is promoting the reorganization of production factors, cultivating new industries, new formats, and new models, creating new jobs, providing more and better employment options, and making transportation, life services, knowledge and skills Industries such as sharing show new consumption potential.
Wu Ruohao, an associate professor at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, said at a sub-forum on flexible brain-computer interface technology that researchers have recently made breakthroughs in flexible electronics and more biocompatible materials, and developed flexible neural circuits, which means that future patients Less risky and more comfortable treatment options are available. Flexible neural circuits can detect or stimulate tens of thousands or even more brain cells or neurons at the same time, far exceeding the scale and detection time range of hard probes.
The Summer Davos Forum was held in Tianjin from the 27th to the 29th. About 1,500 public and private sector leaders from more than 90 countries and regions participated in the forum. The agenda of the forum revolved around restarting growth, China in a global context, energy transition and materials Topics such as supply and deployment innovations were launched.
