Title: How Will the AI Genie Behave Abstract: We are witnessing the increasing ubiquity of AI, with accelerating deployment in a wide variety of task domains, entrepreneurial activity across industries, and embedding in the core processes of digital platforms and firms. Alongside the increasing ubiquity of AI, we are encountering broad, unintended consequences, both beneficial and harmful. These unintended consequences are arising from unexpected behaviors and downstream effects that emerge through interactions of AI agents with the environment and other agents. To be able to control the actions of AI in ways that harvest its benefits while minimizing harm, we need to develop an integrated understanding of AI behavior in the environments in which it is deployed. I will offer a perspective on how such an integrated understanding can be developed through research that investigates thorny issues related to how AI agents acquire their behavior, how the behavior is triggered and enacted, the interaction dynamics of AI agents with other agents that lead to unintended consequences, and the influence of policy decisions on how AI systems evolve.

Title: Exploration and application of blending AI with financial sector ABSTRCT: Artificial intelligence is well along the development path of commercialization and large-scale expansion in China as it becomes a new driving force transforming traditional industries and improving efficiencies in many sectors. New advances and breakthroughs in algorithms, computing power and Big Data will fuel continued AI progress. After AI was mentioned in government work reports for three consecutive years, the government work report delivered during the NPC and CPPCC sessions this year proposed the concept of “Intelligent+” for the first time. Finance, one of the best fields to apply AI, has already most extensively used the technology. As a Fintech company, Du Xiaoman Financial is dedicated to the integration of AI and finance, expanding financial services with AI, and exploring “Intelligent+” initiatives in the financial industry. In the future, AI will usher in a new technology revolution to reshape human society. We are looking forward to more and new changes.

Title: Cloud, on the Way Abstract: It has been 13 years since the first cloud computing service came to the market. Enterprises and SMB obtain big benefits from cloud services, and more and more applications rely on the support of cloud, from legacy to cloud native. For such a long time, public cloud holds the dominant position of the market, and indeed it takes lead on both technology and awareness. Nowadays, along with the evolution of cloud solution and variety of application scenarios, different notions of cloud have emerged: proprietary cloud, multi-cloud, true private cloud … What are they? Will they become the new stars of tomorrow? How we expect the customers to choose in the game of cloud service providers, and what about data sensitivity and AI computing power indispensable to enterprises? I will share my view of cloud development of next stage, and what Yovole is doing as a niche market winner.
