Often times, we foresee the future from sci-fi blockbusters.
Back to the Future predicted self-lacing shoes, hoverboards, and giant flat-screen TVs; in the era before computers became popular, The Matrix explored propositions such as programs, artificial intelligence, and virtual worlds; the recent hot meta-universe can also be found in the "Freedom City" in Runaway Player, The forum, titled "Boundless Exploration, Turning the Page to the Future," was a sci-fi blockbuster that predicted what the smart world would look like in 10 years: healthcare, food, housing, transportation, cities, businesses, energy, and digital credibility.
Medicine: What is the experience of "treating the sick"?
Huawei's prediction for Smart World 2030 has this to say about health: "In 2030, people will rely on highly sensitive biosensors and massive health data stored in the cloud to make health computable. Humans will be able to achieve active prevention, from treating the already sick to treating the not yet sick; with the help of IoT, AI and other technologies, so that the future of the treatment program will no longer be uniform; large-scale medical equipment is more portable, and the realization of home telemedicine linkage."
"Cure the future disease" comes from the ancient Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, "the upper work to cure the future disease, not to cure the disease, this is also", meaning to take appropriate measures to prevent the disease before it occurs, prevent the change of the existing disease, and prevent the gradual change of the existing change.
Population aging brings a lot of chronic diseases, according to statistics, 85% of deaths are due to chronic diseases. Chronic diseases, real-time detection is the key. Technologies such as sensors, cloud, and artificial intelligence help make this possible. Take blood pressure detection, optical sensors can provide high-quality data inputs for blood pressure modeling and algorithms, and together with cloud services and AI, they can bring proactive health management to users.
The same is true for ophthalmic diagnostics, where 80% of the market is currently occupied by expensive imported high-end ophthalmic medical devices, and ophthalmic diagnostics are being transformed under the drive of AI to bring a new experience of smart healthcare. The AI-assisted diagnostic system for fundus lesions independently developed by Suzhou Microclear integrates Huawei Cloud AI and connectivity technology, coupled with the top clinical strength of Union Hospital, and its fully automatic AI-assisted diagnostic system solution for fundus lesions achieves a segmentation accuracy of 92.5%/97.5% on the optic cup and optic disc, which is more than the international level, with diagnostic results in milliseconds, and a work efficiency that exceeds the efficiency of the doctor's inspection by several hundred times, and efficiently realizes the AI-assisted diagnosis of glaucoma. The AI-assisted diagnostic screening and evaluation of glaucoma has been efficiently realized.
Telemedicine is also amazing, before the People's Liberation Army General Hospital in China Mobile, Huawei's help, to complete the country's first 5G-based remote human surgery - Parkinson's disease "brain pacemaker" implantation surgery, the doctor in Hainan, China. The doctor installed a "brain pacemaker" for a patient 3000 kilometers away in Beijing, this seemingly impossible magical operation is becoming more and more commonplace, in the digital technology empowered, more and more people will be able to "cure".
Food: the imagination of intelligent agriculture
Talking about agriculture, always think of four words: "watch the sky to eat", which brings the result naturally: agricultural planting volatility, heavy risk. So there is no way to change this situation?
The answer is yes. In Huawei's Smart World 2030 predictions, agriculture has become a new kind of agriculture supported by digital technology: using data for yield, and universal green diet.
Traditional pump irrigation systems are limited by topography, animal damage, electric shock, rain erosion, exposed cabling, and even restricted sites for tank setup and lack of power. Huawei's smart water supply solution for smart farms in India is based on wireless technology to create an intelligent irrigation system that can remotely control the amount of water, ensure that the water is used in the right place at the right time, and minimize water waste.
In the 70,000 square meters of high-tech smart greenhouse in Jiangsu Binhai Longkun Agricultural Park, Huawei's overall linkage of 5G, IoT, VR and other new-generation smart agricultural technologies, as well as the introduction of the Dutch smart greenhouse technology, Israel's precision irrigation technology, Spain's automatic packaging technology and Germany's precision control technology, in the entire process of crop growth are as if there is a smart brain in the precise control and high efficiency. The whole process of crop growth seems to have a smart brain in precise control and efficient operation.
This is the data-based precision agriculture, no longer only rely on experience, no longer eat with the sky, but in the AI, big data, Internet of Things, so that agriculture has become intelligent and precise.
This is with thousands of years of ancient history of agriculture so far has been the biggest change, from the physical and animal power of the 1.0 era, to the agricultural machinery of the 2.0 era, to the automation of equipment to support the 3.0 era, and now will enter the wisdom and precision of the 4.0 era.
Energy: Bit Management Watt
"Photovoltaic, wind power and other new renewable energy has entered the inflection point of commercialization, power electronics and digital technology are y integrated to form an 'energy cloud', to achieve the 'bits to manage watts' for the entire energy system." Wang Tao, Huawei's Managing Director and President of ICT Products and Solutions, said this at the Smart World 2030 Forum.
Bits are the smallest symbols of numbers, and watts are the most basic symbols of energy, and bit-managed watts are the fusion of digital technology and energy.
Bit management watts of the background, on the one hand, because of the new energy revolution, in front of the ecological and environmental crisis, the traditional carbon energy is unsustainable, clean energy is imperative. As we all know, China has set the goal of "2030 carbon peak, 2060 carbon neutral", all over the world are speeding up the adjustment and optimization of energy structure, and vigorously develop solar energy, wind energy and other clean energy.
On the other hand, because digital technology is also a major consumer of energy, it is necessary to use technology to solve the problems arising from technological development. It is predicted that the global communications sites in 2025 will reach 70 million, a year of power consumption of up to 660 billion degrees. Global data centers will also have 24 million racks in 2025, consuming as much as 950 billion kWh/year.
All of this requires that the energy system be transformed to decarbonization, electrification, and intelligence empowered by digital technology. As the Chinese Academy of Engineering academician Li Li Li said, the construction of new energy as the main body of the new power system, the need for information technology, digital construction of new power systems.
Qinghai **** and the county of 2.2GW PV project, in Huawei intelligent PV solutions to help, the best match the requirements of the extra-high voltage grid, stable and grid, the current system power generation compared with the traditional program to enhance the more than 2%; in the introduction of a number of intelligent means to effectively enhance the efficiency of operation and maintenance, such as the use of intelligent diagnostic solutions, the original need for 2 months of operation and maintenance inspection work only takes
In Baofeng Group's 640MW photovoltaic power station on the east bank of the Yellow River in Ningxia, the solar panels can move like sunflowers, increasing power generation by more than 20% compared to traditional photovoltaic power stations; wireless broadband systems, drone inspections, intelligent photovoltaic cloud, and other intelligent technologies greatly enhance the efficiency of operation and maintenance, compared to the traditional photovoltaic power stations that require a majority of the 100 people of the scale of the operation and maintenance, where the wisdom of the need for 30 people. The company's main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.
BitTorrent is a digital powerhouse for the energy sector that is running on the wings of digital empowerment, running towards smart energy.
Afterword: Explore without boundaries and turn the future upside down
The medical, food, and energy mentioned above are just some of the many scenarios Huawei predicts for SmartWorld 2030, and the more detailed reports on the eight exploratory outlooks and the four insights show us a SmartWorld to look forward to: a world with better quality of life, more food, a more expandable living space, and no need to worry about getting to work.
Among them, the author's feelings can be summarized as three "no boundaries":
The first is the cooperation without boundaries, the second is the cooperation without boundaries, the third is the cooperation without boundaries, the third is the cooperation without boundaries. Mr. Dai Pu, President of Roland Berger, Mr. Wang Zhiqin, Vice President of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, and so on. It is a great collision of ideas.
It's easy to remember Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei's famous quote, "A cup of coffee absorbs the energy of the universe." In 2017, Ren Zhengfei once explained its connotation in a speech, "A cup of coffee absorbs the energy of the universe, not that caffeine has any magical effect. Rather, it is the use of some Western habits, expression of openness, communication and exchange ...... form is not important, the important thing is the spirit of divine communication. The coffee shop is also just a place of communication, whenever and wherever the opportunity and place of communication."
It can be said that Huawei's Intelligent World 2030 is a typical case of "a cup of coffee to absorb the energy of the universe", which is a product of *** creation. According to Wang Tao, over the past three years, the research team has communicated with more than 1,000 scholars, customers, and partners in the industry, organized more than 2,000 seminars, and referred to data and methods from authoritative institutions such as the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, and the World Health Organization, etc., and drew on clues from scientific journals such as Nature, IEEE, and other papers, as well as insights from reports of relevant industry associations and consulting firms. etc.
Second, technology knows no boundaries.
The second thing is that technology has no boundaries. The beautiful smart world of 2030 is not a mirage, but a real picture supported by technology. The reason behind all this is the endless exploration of the boundaries of technology.
Taking communication technology as an example, many of us have witnessed and experienced 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G technologies, and in the future, it will evolve to 5.5G and 6G. 5.5G, not only upgrades the three scenarios of 5G (eMBB, mMTC, and URLLC), but also adds new scenarios (UCBC, RTBC, and HCS), which will provide more flexibility and flexibility in terms of large bandwidth for upstream, broadband real-time interaction, communication, and HCS. , broadband real-time interaction, communication and perception convergence and other aspects with unique advantages, to support the ultra-high-definition immersive experience, telemedicine, autonomous driving and other scenarios and applications.
6G technology exploration, but also to open the imagination. Ren Zhengfei mentioned 6G in a recent conversation: "6G future growth space may be more than just large bandwidth communications, there may also be detection and perception capabilities, communication perception integration, which is a larger scene than communication, is a new network capabilities, can better support the expansion of business operations." 6G to the convergence of communication and perception capabilities, to build sense - transmission - computing integration network, to support centimeter-level ultra-high-precision positioning, air quality analysis, medical health scanning and other new scene applications.
Once again, it's integration without boundaries. Throughout the many predictions of Huawei's Smart World 2030, there is a **** the same point, that is, the integration of digital technology and related technologies, and even seemingly unrelated disciplines, fields are breaking the boundaries, towards integration. For example, the digital energy mentioned above is the integration of digital technology and power electronics technology, precision agriculture is the integration of digital technology and agricultural technology, smart health care is the integration of digital technology and medical technology and so on.
This is also the theme of Huawei's Smart World 2030, "Explore without Boundaries, Open up the Future": only by breaking down the boundaries and exploring, can we open up the future of the smart world.
