Strategic principles for AI advancement

ZTE Corporation CEO Xu Ziyang has delivered keynote speeches at both the "AI First" session and the GTI Summit-themed "5G-A×AI" at MWC Shanghai 2024. In both events, he shared ZTE's practices and innovations in intelligent digitalization amidst the AI wave.

In his keynote speech at the "AI First" session, Xu shared his insights on the theme Ingenuity for Solid Foundation, Openness for Win-Win." He emphasized that while the world has already entered an AI-driven industrial revolution, the development of generative AI faces challenges that extend from hallucinations, security, and ethics, to computing power, energy consumption, datasets, standardization, and commercial applications.

To address these challenges, ZTE proposed three major principles: openness and decoupling, computing and network evolution, and training and inference enhancement.

At the GTI Summit during MWC Shanghai 2024, Xu participated in the GTI-GSMA 5G-A×AI cooperation signing ceremony. He also made a speech where he talked about the transition from traditional industrialization to new industrialization, addressing core challenges, proposing solutions, and citing practical cases.

According to Xu, ZTE advocates focusing on four dimensions - digitalization, networking, intelligence, and low-carbon initiatives - to tackle current challenges and drive continuous innovation and development.

The company also promotes openness and decoupling, unleashing superior computing with advanced networks, enhancing intelligence capabilities, and driving business growth through green initiatives, with a strong commitment to vigorously supporting the healthy and sustainable development of the industry chain, fostering a thriving digital economy, he added.
