Chinese Academy of Engineering academician Wang Jian shared his in-depth thoughts on AI, AI+, and AI infrastructure at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Bund Conference. He emphasized that AI+ is not merely a simple integration of AI and industry, but rather the integration of data, models, and computing power, with cloud computing serving as the infrastructure of the AI era. Wang Jian pointed out that although artificial intelligence has a long history, it has only truly impacted industries for the past 7 years, with the critical turning point being Google’s introduction of the Transformer in 2017. Under the logic of AI+, ChatGPT is not just an application, but a broader application platform.

At the main forum of the 2024 Inclusion Bund Conference, Michael Jordan emphasized three key points missing from the current discussions on artificial intelligence: collectivity, uncertainty, and incentive mechanisms. He pointed out that AI systems need to form collaborative collectives and introduce an economic perspective on incentives to build collaborative systems. He noted that AI performs inadequately when facing uncertainty and that humanity's ability to cope with uncertainty through collective collaboration is worth emulating. To enhance the collective collaboration capability of AI systems, Michael Jordan suggested constructing a 'three-layer data market' model.

New Jersey has launched a $5 billion tax incentive plan aimed at positioning the state as a hub for artificial intelligence innovation in the United States.

This plan aims to attract AI companies, increase job opportunities, and boost economic development; however, it is important to note that tax incentives may not necessarily lead to significant job creation, particularly in specific industries such as data centers.
