From August 22 to 23, 2020, the 3rd Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Conference (SHAI2020) and the 3rd International Conference on on Image, Video Processing and Artificial Intelligence(IVPAI 2020) was held in Shanghai. The conference invited the forefront experts and industry leaders in the field of artificial intelligence to give keynote speeches and share the latest research results. Professor Li Erping, the Dean of ZJUI attended the meeting as an academic expert and gave a keynote speech entitled "Artificial intelligence spiking neuromorphic chip".
" AI chip is the fundamental of development of AI technology, but at this moment, AI chip is still in its infancy stage.", Prof. Li talked about the needs and challenges of the development of core electronic technology for information and communication, and the challenges of AI chip design. He pointed out that it has a long way to go before achieving general-purpose intelligence (Artificial General Intelligence, AGI). Taking the electromagnetic field as an example, the new SI/EMI challenges exercising our minds when when we design AI chips because the circuit architecture is based on neural network of human brain. He emphasized that the exploration of AI chip is definitely strenuous and exciting, and requires greater efforts from scholars and researchers. His speech also covers the AI-IC electromagnetic integrity modeling, design, and analysis approaches.
After the speech, Prof. Li also made further exchanges with many entrepreneurs and scholars participating in the conference, exploring the possibility of in-depth cooperation with ZJUI.
It is reported that the many high-reputation academic guests attended this conference and shared the current industry implementation. They are - Prof. Xu Lei, the academician of the European Academy of Sciences, the Zhiyuan Chair Professor of Shanghai Jiaotong University, and the IEEE/IAPR Fellow; Prof. Guo Yike, the academician of the European Academy of Sciences, the Royal Academy of Engineering, and the tenured professor of Imperial College of Engineering; Prof. Mohamad Sawan, Canadian Academy of Engineering Academician, Professor of Montreal Institute of Technology, IEEE Fellow and so on. Well-known corporate guests include Mr.Lu Xiaoyuan, Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer of WeBank, Director of Shanghai Pudong Smart City Development Center; Mr.Lu Xiaoliang, Chief Scientist of Smart City Joint Laboratory of China Urban Science Research Association, Executive President of Xunfei Medical, and , Mr.Du Yuqing, Senior Vice President of i Robot , Mr.Zhang Jiaxing, Chief scientist of 360 Finance, etc.
The conference was hosted by the Shanghai Advanced Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, co-sponsored by the Shanghai Institute of Artificial Intelligence, and undertaken by the Shanghai Urban Public Safety Research Center. More than 2,000 people attended the conference on-site, and tens of thousands of people attended the conference online.
