During the 2024 World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, Alibaba Group CEO Wu Yongming delivered a keynote speech at the Internet Entrepreneurs Forum on November 21, emphasizing the profound impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the internet industry. He pointed out that the biggest change in the internet industry this year is still the rapid development of AI technology.

The development of AI requires a prosperous ecosystem of technology, products, and market.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, humanity seems to be closer to the virtual scenes depicted in the movie 'The Matrix'. Recently, an innovative AI basic world simulator named 'The Matrix' was officially launched by an all-Chinese team, capable of infinitely generating high-fidelity 720p realistic scene videos and supporting real-time interaction. This simulator showcases a 14-minute demo video, but in reality, it can continuously generate content for up to an hour, covering various scenes such as deserts, grasslands, bodies of water, and cities.

The New York Times and the Daily News encountered an unexpected twist in their copyright lawsuit: an OpenAI engineer inadvertently deleted virtual machine search data that could have been key evidence, adding a dramatic turn to this high-profile legal dispute. According to a letter submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Wednesday night, lawyers and technical experts for the two media companies had previously invested over 150 hours searching OpenAI's AI training dataset. However, on November 14, an OpenAI engineer accidentally deleted data stored on the virtual machine.

Artificial intelligence is quietly transforming the diagnostic methods in the field of mental health. A research team from Kaunas University of Technology has developed a revolutionary depression diagnosis model that employs multimodal analysis of voice and EEG data, paving the way for precise identification of mental health issues. The core of this research lies in breaking the limitations of traditional single-data diagnostics. The research team chose voice as a key data source because it can subtly reflect emotional states. Speech rate, tone, and emotional energy can all serve as potential signals of depression.

In 2016, 'Pokemon Go' was viewed as the purest gaming experience, encouraging players to stroll through communities and meet strangers. Fast forward to 2024, and the game has quietly transformed into an astonishing geospatial artificial intelligence training ground. The Niantic development team recently revealed an astonishing secret: for years, millions of players, while enjoying the game, have been inadvertently aiding in training a massive geospatial artificial intelligence system. This technology, known as the Visual Positioning System (VPS), is being enhanced through players' everyday gaming activities.

As tech giants like Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic successively launch AI agent products, a technological revolution in AI agent systems is quietly unfolding. What sets these new AI tools apart? How will they change our digital lives? AI agents are essentially intelligent software systems capable of autonomously achieving specific goals. They function like efficient project managers, breaking complex objectives into smaller tasks, allocating necessary resources, and monitoring task progress until completion.
