Another year has come, and the world's Internet once again entered "Wuzhen Time." From December 3 to 5, the Fourth World Internet Conference took place in Wuzhen, Zhejiang. This annual event brings together global leaders, innovators, and thinkers to discuss the future of the digital world.
The conference focused on developing a digital economy, promoting openness and sharing, and building a community of common destiny in cyberspace. It featured 20 sub-forums covering topics such as digital trends, cutting-edge technologies, the intersection of the internet and society, cyber governance, and international cooperation.
Industry giants like Ma Yun, Ma Huateng, and Robin Li shared their insights and unveiled key messages during the event. Ma Yun emphasized that new technologies don't lead to unemployment but instead allow people to focus on more valuable and creative tasks. He stressed that humans should embrace technology rather than fear it, highlighting our unique creativity and the importance of self-confidence.
He also mentioned that the manufacturing industry will no longer be the main driver of employment in the future. Instead, the service sector will take center stage, with AI and automation handling repetitive tasks, freeing up humans for more innovative and meaningful work.
Ma Huateng from Tencent spoke about the need for Chinese companies to become drivers and contributors of new technologies. He highlighted innovation as the core of Tencent's strategy and expressed a vision for expanding technological and cultural influence globally through platforms like Tencent Cloud and the Digital Silk Road.
Li Yanhong of Baidu pointed out that while the demographic dividend of the internet is fading, there is now a growing technological dividend. He argued that artificial intelligence will play a central role in driving the digital economy, citing Baidu Apollo as an example of how AI can integrate across industries and create broader benefits.
Zhang Chaoyang of Sohu suggested that the next big opportunity lies in consumer internet, given China's large population and user base. He believed that focusing on end-user services—such as entertainment, communication, and information—will be key to success in the digital age.
Shen Nanpeng of Sequoia Capital gave a positive take on the shared bicycle industry’s challenges, calling it a natural part of market evolution. He encouraged patience and support for sharing economy startups, emphasizing that not all areas will succeed, but the long-term potential remains strong.
Xu Zhijun, Huawei's rotating CEO, revealed plans for a full-scale 5G rollout in 2018 and the introduction of 5G-enabled smartphones by 2019. He explained how 5G will revolutionize mobile experiences, enabling ultra-fast downloads and supporting the growth of smart industries like Industry 4.0.
