On February 29th, the 2024 Beijing Artificial Intelligence Industry Conference, hosted by the Government of Mentougou District, commenced at the Beijing National Convention Center. iSoftStone was honored to be invited, participating as a key player in the "Large Model Application Industry Consortium". Together with the Beijing Municipal Government, Huawei, and other stakeholders, iSoftStone actively contributed to the launch ceremony, strategically shaping the landscape of the artificial intelligence industry in Beijing. This collaborative effort aims to build an open and mutually beneficial ecosystem for a robust and thriving industry.

At the beginning of the new year, the wave of intelligence is once again sweeping across the globe . Accelerating the development of artificial intelligence, seizing strategic opportunities, and nurturing new productive forces has become a broad consensus domestically, with various industries actively embracing artificial intelligence. The artificial intelligence ecosystem encompasses computing power, algorithms, data, models, tools, platforms, applications, services, and more. Each link is indispensable, requiring full collaboration from all parties to share the significant opportunities of the era of large models. To further propel the healthy development of the artificial intelligence ecosystem and establish a collaborative platform, Huawei, in conjunction with more than 20 enterprises including iSoftStone, has initiated the "Large Model Application Industry Consortium". The objective is to facilitate the widespread application of AI technology and the deep integration of the industry. Together, they are committed to advancing research and application of artificial intelligence technology, with a particular emphasis on breakthroughs and innovations in the field of large models. Xie Rui, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Digital Infrastructure and Integration of iSoftStone, participated in the launching ceremony on behalf of iSoftStone.

The Consortium leverages Ascend and Kunpeng foundational hardware and software, rooted in Beijing but with a nationwide perspective. It collaborates with various partners in the artificial intelligence industry, including models, applications, and services. Together, they explore collaborative models within the AI ecosystem, establish industry standards, and strive to build a thriving AI industry ecosystem. The aim is to accelerate the advancement of the AI industry, with a focus on upgrading infrastructure and services.

As AIGC undergoes rapid development, iSoftStone continues to delve deeper into research within the field of artificial intelligence. Accelerating its strategic positioning, the company, in collaboration with clients, has incubated a series of joint application achievements based on large models. During the conference, Feng Qing, Assistant General Manager of COFCO Information Technology Co., Ltd., and Xie Rui, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Digital Infrastructure and Integration of iSoftStone, signed an agreement on the exploration and application of large models in the field of production safety.

COFCO Information Technology Co., Ltd. utilizes intelligent edge boxes connected on the factory side to analyze video streams from cameras. It effectively monitors various scenes, including intelligent detection of safety belts, safety helmet compliance, smoke and flame detection, and personal protective equipment compliance. The system provides timely alarms and reminders, establishing a rapid response mechanism. Through the exploration and application of models, the aim of this system is to enhance the efficiency of factory safety management personnel, meet the demands of intelligent enterprise construction, and expedite the development of advanced capabilities for new and high-quality production.
