In recent days, the Nobel Prizes in various categories have been announced one by one. On October 3rd and October 4th, artificial intelligence and its related applications won the Physics Prize and the Chemistry Prize, respectively, becoming the most eye-catching highlights of this year. Today, Jiu Wan Li will talk about this biggest dark horse, artificial intelligence.

Clash at the Peak, for the Crown. Nobel Prize in Physics: A Tribute to the Commitment to Exploration. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced on the designated date that it has decided to award the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics to John Joseph Hopfield and Geoffrey Everest Hinton for their pioneering discoveries and contributions in the field of machine learning, particularly in the use of artificial neural networks. Among them, Hopfield developed the "Hopfield neural network," which simulates the memory storage mechanism of the human brain and has had a profound impact on the development of the field. Hinton further developed the "Boltzmann machine," ushering in a new era of deep learning. As Professor Ilback, a member of the Nobel Physics Committee, said: "They are true pioneers who have found new ways to solve problems."

Chemistry Nobel: Commending Pioneering Efforts in the Frontier. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to three outstanding scientists, David Baker, Demis Hassabis, and John Jumper, in recognition of their revolutionary breakthroughs in deciphering the three-dimensional structures of proteins. Among them, Baker developed an algorithm capable of designing entirely new proteins from scratch, akin to the "hand of God" in creating life. Hassabis and Jumper jointly developed the model "AlphaFold," which can predict protein structures quickly and accurately, a task once deemed impossible at the beginning of the century. The Nobel Committee's bestowal of the highest honor in the field of chemistry upon these three professors is not only a tribute to their contributions but also a great affirmation of their advancement of scientific frontiers.

Application goes beyond this. The success in the scientific research field proves that it is not just a computational tool, but also a powerful assistant in human understanding and transforming the world. Outside of research, the application of painting and writing tools is gradually changing the workflow in the creative field, improving creative efficiency, and providing new inspiration and possibilities for creators. Driving technology is gradually moving from the high-end market to the mainstream market, becoming an important force driving the transformation of the transportation industry. In China, the market size of unmanned driving cars has reached 100 billion yuan, and it is expected to increase to 150 billion yuan by 2025. The application in manufacturing covers the entire process, such as intelligent scheduling, monitoring production emissions, sorting, quality inspection, warehousing, etc., effectively enhancing the efficiency and quality of industrial production. It can be said that the application is profoundly changing the world we know, injecting new development momentum into various industries, driving comprehensive economic and social progress, and promoting the continuous generation of new productive forces.

Where is the world heading? From scientific research to daily life, it is propelling us to explore the unknown world at an unprecedented speed, greatly enriching human lifestyles and cognitive boundaries. However, as its influence expands, potential threats are gradually emerging, sparking widespread concern and profound reflection globally. This year's Nobel laureate, Hinton, known as the "godfather," once expressed concerns similar to those of "father of the atomic bomb" Oppenheimer, fearing that out-of-control technology could pose a significant threat to society. Such concerns are not unfounded; the potential risks brought by the rapid development and widespread application of technology are evident. China possesses a vast reserve of technological talent and rich application scenarios, with the potential to achieve major breakthroughs and lead global development in this field. Facing the challenges and opportunities brought by technology, China should actively participate in the formulation of global rules. China not only needs to provide strong support for its own industrial development but also promote the improvement of the global governance system, contributing wisdom and strength to building a community with a shared future for mankind. After all, the failures of global climate governance under the dominance of the West are fresh in memory; the world cannot afford to repeat the same mistakes in this field.
