讲座摘要：The post-COVID world economy continues to underscore the prominence of the disruptive and interrelated Big Data technologies of Internet of Things (IoT), Real-Time Decision-Making (RTDM), and Artificial Intelligence (AI), which, together, underpin the Fourth Industrial Revolution. IoT is generally considered to be a range of devices or systems, each with an Internet Protocol address. In earlier papers, the author defined such devices and systems as servgoods, or items that can be thought of as physical products enveloped by services-oriented layers that can render each product or good to be smarter, adaptable and/or customizable for a specific purpose. Indeed, the transmission of both information and power with greater bandwidth (i.e., data transfer capacity) and minimal latency (i.e., data delay) are critical to RTDM; it is based on an integrated system of computers that must perform critical decision-oriented functions in near real-time or within a time frame of as short as 67 nanoseconds, each encompassing the steps of sensing or data fusion, processing or data analysis, reacting or decision-making, and learning or feedback processing. Clearly, an IoT servgood – or, say, an autonomous vehicle – must be constantly sensing, processing, reacting, and learning. At present, the most critical Big Data component is AI, an evolving set of technologies that enable computers to simulate elements of human thinking, understanding, learning and decision-making. Central to AI is machine learning, an approach that is loosely modeled on the way layers of neurons and synapses in the brain change as they assimilate new input; sometimes, such deep learning may even result in a trained machine that can outperform their human counterparts. AI-based servgoods include virtual assistants that can understand natural language and appropriately respond; robots that can automatically carry out a complex series of tasks; medical devices that can assist with diagnostic and/or therapeutic decisions; and platforms that can allow users to employ pre-built decision-making algorithms. Finally, in a connected IoT, RTDM and AI world, there are ample opportunities for breaches of privacy and security; not only are the resultant servgoods vulnerable to being hacked but so are their various connected devices. Clearly, such breaches of security must be appropriately addressed by technical standards and government regulations.

讲座题目：Chinese Digital Economy: Development and Future Trends
讲座时间：2023年11月29日（星期三）上午10：30-11：30
讲座地点：兴庆校区出版大厦8楼会议室
讲座摘要：The digital economy has become a significant force in reorganizing global resources, reshaping the structure of worldwide economy, and changing global competitive landscape. In this talk, it starts with the basic concepts of digital economy. Second, the history of development regarding major international digital economies and the current status of China's digital economy are reviewed. Then, the talk especially illustrates the recent new advances that emerged in the evolution of digital economy. Finally, several suggestions of policies to promote, optimize, and strengthen China's digital economy are proposed, which are data openness and protection, key technologies, training programs for talents, livelihood services for citizens, social credit system establishment, and international collaborations.
