Shangtang Technology has implemented the "reality-oriented" concept of digital world development into its own practical development to promote the integrated development of digital economy and real economy.

"Investment Times" reporter Su Hui

In 2023, the two national conferences arrived as scheduled. The reporter of Investment Times noticed that compared with previous years, there was a new change in the two sessions this year, that is, representatives of a number of head Internet technology companies no longer served as NPC deputies or Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference members due to the expiration of their terms of office, and they successfully completed a new and old transition with the new generation of technology leaders.

For example, He Xiaopeng, chairman of Xpeng Motors, Chen Tianshi, chairman of CAMBRIAN artificial intelligence (AI) chip company, Cao Peng, chairman of technical committee of JD.COM Group, and Kelly Y Zhou, founder and CEO of Zhihu, were all elected as deputies to the National People’s Congress or members of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference for the first time. This time, they participated in the two sessions, and they also made active preparations for field research, offering suggestions and suggestions for the development of the industry and a better life.

"Scientific and technological innovation" has always been an important topic to be discussed at the two sessions every year, and the two sessions have always been an important vane for the development of domestic scientific and technological innovation. In this year’s related discussions of the two sessions, the words "cutting-edge technology" such as ChatGPT, humanoid robot and autonomous driving of AI model appeared frequently. A number of representatives in the fields of network security and industrial manufacturing also put forward key suggestions on protecting data security and the development of digital economy.

As a leading artificial intelligence software company in the industry, Shangtang Technology keeps a close eye on digitalization.

In recent years, the digital transformation of agriculture, manufacturing and service industries has been accelerated, which is promoting profound changes in the mode of production of enterprises, lifestyle of residents and social governance. In 2021, the scale of industrial digitalization reached 37.18 trillion yuan, a nominal increase of 17.2% year-on-year, accounting for 81.7% of the digital economy and 32.5% of GDP, and the digital transformation of industry continued to accelerate in depth.

Shangtang Technology relies on AIDC and Shang Tang AI Cloud to create an innovation engine for the digital transformation of traditional industries and deeply stimulate the industrial potential.

AIDC, an artificial intelligence computing center located in Shanghai Lingang, is an AI infrastructure built by Shangtang Technology for digital transformation of the whole industry. AIDC is an important part and physical bearing of computing infrastructure layer in SenseCore Shang Tang AI large-scale device. With multiple leading advantages such as super-large-scale elastic computing power, low computing power cost, high security and low network delay, AIDC builds an innovative base, and drives the upgrading of AI production capacity with higher efficiency and lower cost.

It also opened the technical capabilities of Shang Tang AI big devices to its partners through AIDC, launched SenseCore Shang Tang AI Cloud, a one-stop AI basic service platform, transplanted AI capabilities to the cloud, realized AI as a service AIaaS, provided enterprises with "inclusive, flexible and open" AI infrastructure products and services, promoted the process of AI industrialization and accelerated the digital transformation of the whole industry.

Through Shang Tang AI Cloud, customers can realize the mass production and deployment of high-quality AI algorithms in an efficient, automated and intensive way without deep professional knowledge and huge capital investment, quickly get through the long tail demand in various vertical industries and improve the value chain.

On the other hand, Shangtang Technology always attaches great importance to artificial intelligence governance. The relationship between governance and innovation of artificial intelligence is similar to the relationship between steering wheel, brake pad and throttle of automobile. AI governance is not only like a "steering wheel" that can guide technology research and product development in the right direction, but also has the function of "brake pad", which can stop AI innovation from developing in the wrong direction in time. The strength of the "steering wheel" and "brake pads" needs to be dynamically adjusted according to the priority of the "throttle". Therefore, AI governance needs to adapt to the rhythm changes of technological innovation and achieve a degree of relaxation.

In September, 2022, Shangtang Technology released the White Paper on Artificial Intelligence Governance with Balanced Development —— Annual Report on Ethics and Governance of Artificial Intelligence in Shang Tang (2022). On the basis of AI ethics with Balanced Development, Shangtang Technology further proposed to develop "responsible and assessable" artificial intelligence, and took it as the vision goal of artificial intelligence governance in Shang Tang to create a closed loop of ethical governance.

At the same time, in view of the new stage, new trend and new changes of AI development, Shangtang Technology actively promoted the ethical governance from the exploration of AI itself to the specific business scene field, and in December 2022, it took the lead in publishing the "Reality-oriented Development View of the Digital World-Metauniverse Sustainable Development Report" for the metauniverse scene, introducing Shangtang Technology’s governance proposition for the digital world, providing for the construction of the digital world needed for the development of the real economy.

It can be seen that Shangtang Technology has implemented the "reality-oriented" concept of digital world development into its own practical development, and achieved the goals of "meeting the real needs", "following the real rules" and "conforming to the real interests" through the combination of technological innovation and real industries, so as to promote the integrated development of digital economy and real economy.

Recently, IDC, an authoritative international consulting organization, released the report IDC MarketScape: China Public Cloud Network Edge security-as-a-service (NESaaS) Market (hereinafter referred to as IDC Report). With its leading AI security technology capability, Baidu was in the leading position in the evaluation of China public cloud network edge security-as-a-service market in 2022.

IDC pointed out that based on the summarization and refinement of Baidu’s years of security practices, relying on artificial intelligence and big data, Baidu has terabyte (TB)-level cloud security protection capability under the all-round technical support and escort of Baidu’s security, and the risk of intercepting malicious web pages and user searches exceeds 100 billion times every year. At the same time, Baidu Intelligent Cloud Security is one of Baidu’s five security areas. Combining the technical advantages in AI field and the long-term service experience in cloud computing field, it has gradually established a complete and comprehensive multi-class security product matrix and security solutions to meet various business needs, forming a secure and reliable cloud base, effectively protecting the security of government and enterprise assets.

This is another recommendation after Baidu Security was selected as the recommended manufacturer of IDC’s "China Data Security Technology Development Roadmap, 2022" this year. It shows that Baidu Security has been at the leading level in the industry in AI security, data security, cloud security, business security and mobile security.

In recent years, with the increasing variety, quantity and importance of cloud assets, its allure to network attackers is also increasing. Based on the above network security requirements, IDC put forward the concept of Network Edge security-as-a-service (NESaaS) in 2022 in order to better guide enterprises to solve the network security construction in complex IT environment. IDC believes that NESaaS, as a stack of comprehensive network security capabilities, can naturally and efficiently integrate various security capabilities, thus fully embodying the concept of software-defined security access.

IDC’s report focuses on Baidu’s intelligent threat hunting platform, which is the product of Baidu’s integration of technologies such as deep learning and big data analysis. The platform has six advantages, such as powerful intelligent tracing, three-dimensional API protection, supporting 0day/Nday attack detection, automatic drainage honeypot, abundant attack and defense exercise toolbox, low false alarm and low false alarm, etc. It analyzes the network traffic of customers in the form of gateway, identifies the identity of attackers through powerful intelligent tracing mechanism, and assists customers in advanced security by combining real-time data and intelligent algorithm model.

Baidu’s intelligent threat hunting platform is based on big data intelligence and AI analysis model’s ability of accurate portrait and tracing of attackers, and realizes tracing analysis and blocking of users, equipment and network IP at three levels. It can identify the identity of potential attackers by association analysis combined with intelligence database, completely subverting the passive mode based on IP tracing in the past. Compared with the common honeynet tracing scheme in the industry, the tracing success rate is increased by 2~5 times, and the problem of low tracing success rate and easy circumvention in the industry is solved in a breakthrough.

At present, Baidu’s intelligent threat hunting platform has been widely used in energy, government affairs, transportation, Internet and other industries. With its outstanding AI security capability, it has made outstanding offensive and defensive performance and traceability performance in network offensive and defensive drills and red-blue confrontation actions for head customers such as government, enterprises and energy, and helped government and enterprise organizations win the first place in offensive and defensive drills.

In a project case of an energy company, by virtue of the product’s efficient perception and protection ability to unknown threats, it helps customers to deal with advanced threats such as 0day/Nday and APT attacks more efficiently, realizes rapid detection and response to security threats, and improves the efficiency of security operation and maintenance. It can not only build a complete defense-in-depth system, combine real-time data and artificial intelligence algorithm model, assist customers to make advanced security decisions, empower security operation and maintenance personnel, effectively deal with known and unknown threats, and fight against 0-Day and N-Day. It can identify the identity of attackers through a powerful intelligent traceability system, completely overturn the passive mode based on IP traceability in the past, and efficiently escort key infrastructure systems.

With Baidu’s leading AI security capability fully integrated into all modules of Baidu’s brain and covering all businesses in Baidu AI Cloud, under the unique advantage of "integration of cloud and intelligence", Baidu Security will continue to be innovative and pragmatic in the future, take on the strong demand for security from the market and enterprises, and devote itself to building an intelligent integrated security system based on AI and big data based on the rich technical precipitation of Baidu AI and big data, so as to accelerate the process of enterprise intelligent security integration.

AI governance also needs ＂steering wheel＂ and ＂brake pad＂. How can Shangtang Technology achieve reality-oriented？
