At the 2024 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, Qihoo 360 Chairman Liu Qiangfu stated that the substitution effect of artificial intelligence will appear on a large scale, and suggested that society should design countermeasures in advance. In particular, artificial intelligence based on large model technology may lead to a large number of substitution situations in the coming years, so it is necessary to plan relevant social rescue systems in advance, and also carry out reemployment training for the labor force, and reasonably control the speed of technology promotion.

Liu Qiangfu pointed out that these tasks require the joint research and implementation of scientific research institutions, enterprises, universities, and relevant social management departments. He also mentioned that iFLYTEK's latest iFLYTEK Xianhuo large model V4.0 has achieved overall surpassing in text generation, language understanding, knowledge answering, and logical reasoning, successfully competing with GPT-4Turbo. In 12 mainstream large model tests, iFLYTEK Xianhuo ranked first in 8 tests, leading the domestic large model technology.

The iFLYTEK Xianhuo large model V4.0 showcased its leading application in various industries at the launch, including automotive, household appliances, and robotics. The core capabilities of the product have been fully upgraded, successfully surpassing international advanced levels, bringing unprecedented technological innovation to related industries.

Liu Qiangfu's views from iFLYTEK remind us that the development of artificial intelligence will bring about substitution effects, and society needs to make preparations in advance to better embrace the challenges and opportunities brought by technological changes. iFLYTEK's Xianhuo large model V4.0 demonstrates its leading position and innovative capabilities in the field of large model technology, making a positive contribution to the development of artificial intelligence.

Key Points:

⭐️ Artificial intelligence substitution appears on a large scale, social rescue systems need to be designed in advance

⭐️ Large-scale substitution situations may be triggered by large model technology, countermeasures should be proposed

⭐️ iFLYTEK releases Xianhuo large model V4.0, achieving overall surpassing GPT-4Turbo

Japanese Supermarkets Use AI to Monitor Employees' Smiles, Netizens Say It's Unnecessary

In today's pursuit of efficient and humanized management, Aeon, a large Japanese supermarket chain, has sparked widespread controversy by using AI technology to monitor employee smiles.On July 16, Yahoo Japan reported that Aeon has rolled out an AI system called "Smile-Kun" in 240 stores since July 1. This system analyzes employees' smiles and volume, providing real-time feedback to enhance customer service skills.The Smile-Kun system requires employees to greet it daily, then scores them based

Microsoft Research Introduces AI Framework E5-V: Simplifying Multimodal Learning with Text Pair Unimodal Training to Reduce Costs

Recently, a research team from Microsoft Research and Beihang University has jointly introduced a novel framework called E5-V, aimed at providing a more efficient solution for multi-modal embeddings. With the continuous advancement of artificial intelligence, multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) have become a focal point of research, as they are capable of understanding both textual and visual information simultaneously, thereby better handling complex data relationships. However, effective
