The Future of AI is Going to be Interactive AI: What You Need to Know
網上照片 Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most exciting and rapidly evolving fields of technology today. AI systems can perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as understanding natural language, recognizing faces, playing games, and creating content. However, not all AI systems are created equal. Depending on how they are designed and trained, AI systems can have different capabilities and limitations. Generative AI vs Interactive AI One way to classify AI systems is based on how they generate outputs. Some AI systems are generative, meaning they can produce new and original outputs from scratch, such as ...
From Dot-Com to AI: A Comparative Journey Through Tech Revolutions
網上照片 The comparison between the internet boom in the early 2000s and the recent proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) over the past 18 months reveals some similarities and differences. In the early 2000s, investors blindly pursued dot-com companies, leading to a bubble that eventually burst. Currently, over 80% of the deals venture capital firms consider are related to AI. The AI boom is being primarily driven by the increasing amount of data available for training AI models, enabling complex tasks like image recognition and predictive analytics especially in the medical and healthcare sector. I would like to discuss the similaritie...
Democratizing AI: Empowering End-Devices with Small Language Models
網上圖片 According to the development trajectory of the AI landscape, I'm very excited about the next frontier in artificial intelligence - the rise of end-device AI (some parties call it Edge AI). While the current landscape is dominated by large language models ("LLMs") running on powerful cloud infrastructure, I am certain that a new era is dawning where small language models ("SLMs") will empower end-devices to harness the power of AI locally. The shift towards end-device AI is driven by several key factors. Firstly, the growing ubiquity of powerful edge devices, such as smartphones (recent news articles mentioned repeatedly tha...
The Liangzhu Culture
Clay Pot from Liangzhu Museum (Wikimedia Commons) Chinese civilization boasts a brilliant history spanning five millennia, characterized by distinct regional and temporal developments as well as a rich tradition of cultural integration. The origin of Chinese culture is diverse; apart from the northeastern Hongshan culture previously discussed, the Liangzhu culture, located in the southeastern part of the Yangtze River basin, is a prime example. Known for its jade culture, which has had a profound impact on Chinese history, culture, and art, today's focus is on exploring this culture to enhance our understanding. The Liangzhu culture emerged during the Late Neolithic period in China...
良渚文化有什麼文化特色？
Wikimedia Commons 良渚文化以其高水平的玉器製作技術而聞名，出土了大量精美的玉器、陶器以及其他文物，亦反映出有初步社會階層分化和政治組織的跡象。 中華文化歷史悠久，不同時期不同地區都各自發展或互相融合。除筆者之前談論的東北紅山文化之外，長江流域的良渚文化更是表表者，其玉文化對中國文化有深遠的影響，被認為是中國古代文明的重要起源之一。 相對成熟的社會 良渚文化見於中國新石器時代晚期，主要分布在現今的杭州西北方，時間約為公元前3300...
Revised China's Cultural Heritage Protection Law (2023): Can it meet the new era's demands for cultural heritage protection?
China's Cultural Heritage Protection Law has been in effect for over 40 years since its initial promulgation in 1982, with one revision made in 2002. Since the start of the new century, political, social, economic, and technological changes have been rapid. The current Cultural Heritage Protection Law shows significant shortcomings, unable to meet the demands of the new era. As a result, there have been continual calls for revisions. Consequently, the State Council proposed amendments to the law and solicited opinions from stakeholders and various levels of society. After over a year's effort, on October 20th, the initial opinions were collected, with over 1,300 individuals or groups...
