China’s Massive Models Shake Up a Lot of Sectors

China’s massive AI models are using their enormous computer capacity to transform many sectors, including healthcare and traffic control.

At COP28, the 28th session of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, held in Dubai, China showcased its enormous artificial intelligence (AI) model development and application across several sectors. With the recent release of “FuXi-Subseasonal,” a state-of-the-art artificial intelligence model for weather predictions, China has emerged as the world’s second-largest developer of big models.

China’s rapidly expanding collection of enormous, entirely domestic models has captured attention on a global scale. A recent study from China’s Institute of Scientific and Technical Information, which is linked with the Ministry of Technology, claims that the nation has produced more huge models than any other country in the world. These models have made a big impact in a lot of different sectors.

Artificial intelligence (AI), and big models in particular, are driving innovation, widespread application, and global rivalry, according to Tao Qing, a spokesman for China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). The increasing use of AI is reshaping economic structures and production patterns across the manufacturing sector.

The Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area (Beijing E-Town) is a prime example of a large-scale model’s use in traffic management. The region has implemented thorough signal regulation in collaboration with Baidu, a Chinese tech company, by using spatiotemporal data, which includes internet data and roadside perception. Automated optimization of signal timing has resulted from the use of large traffic models to evaluate the likelihood of traffic congestion.

Because of this program, the typical amount of time it takes for cars to get through the area’s traffic signal junctions has dropped by an astounding 28%. This exemplifies how AI has the ability to improve our daily lives.

Transportation, culture and tourism, education, and healthcare are just a few of the many vertical areas that have adopted China’s huge models. These large-scale, domain-specific models provide industry-specific challenges with solutions targeted to those challenges.

“Ctrip Wendao” is a big model that the Chinese internet travel service Ctrip developed specifically for the tourist sector. This approach is designed to work with natural language, making it easier for consumers to book hotels and tourist attractions, plan their trips, and make other choices connected to travel.
