Due to the influence of return traffic, several expressways in Jiangsu implemented temporary control measures.

  Cctv newsAccording to Weibo, the official news of Jiangsu Provincial Department of Transportation, as of 16:00 on January 27th, the expressways in the whole province were running smoothly and the traffic was in good order. Due to the influence of the return traffic during the Spring Festival holiday, the traffic volume in some sections was large, and there were many slow cars in stages.

  First, the slow road section

  From north to south: Baguazhou Bridge, Qixiashan Bridge, Runyang Bridge, Taizhou Bridge, Jiangyin Bridge, Husutong Bridge and Sutong Bridge, Huai ‘an, Yangzhou and Guangjing sections of G2 Beijing-Shanghai Expressway, Lianyungang, Yancheng and Nantong sections of G15 Shenhai Expressway, Lianyungang, Huai ‘an, Nanjing and Changzhou sections of G25 Changshen Expressway, Taizhou section of G1515 Yanjing Expressway, and G2513.

  Second, the temporary control measures

  Affected by heavy traffic, the entrances of some expressway toll stations in Xuzhou, Lianyungang, Huai ‘an, Suqian, Yangzhou, Yancheng, Taizhou, Changzhou, Nantong, Suzhou and Wuxi are temporarily closed, as follows:

  G2 Beijing-Shanghai Expressway from Tongyang to Shuyang, Huai ‘an North, Huai ‘an, Jinghe to Baqiao to Shanghai, and Sunan Shuofang Airport in both directions; G3 Jingtai Expressway from Xuzhou North to Pengcheng is bidirectional; G15 Shenhai Expressway Xinba, Rugao to Baipu and Taicang New District are two-way, and Taicang East is in the direction of Shanghai; G25 Changshen Expressway irrigates Yunnan and Ninghai to Nanjing, and Liyang West and Liyang East are two-way; G40 Shanghai-Shaanxi Expressway Zaolinwan to Jiangwang heading for Shanghai; G1515 Yanjing Expressway is bidirectional from Qingdun to Dagang, Xinghua, Dai Nan and Jiangyan to Taixing; G1516 Yanluo Expressway is bidirectional from Siyang to Lingqiao, Shitang, Qinnan and Yancheng South; G4011 Yangyang Expressway Guazhou to Runyang Bridge; S28 Qiyang Expressway runs from Yangzhou West to Slender West Lake to Runyang Bridge, and from Jiangdu North to Guocun in both directions; S49 Xinyang Expressway from Jinqiao to Guanzhong and from Chenji to Shugang; S69 Jixu Expressway is two-way from Peifeng to Zhengji.

Yang Yang’s new drama is coming, and "Yulinling" plays a big man. Is the noon sunshine drawing cakes?

The official announcement of the costume drama "Rain Bell" is that Yang Yang will play the leading role. This is a costume drama with the theme of "Big Man", which is produced by Noon Sunshine, written by Tong Wu and produced by Hou Hongliang. So far, the cast is still very good.

The drama consists of 40 episodes, which took 8 months to complete. It mainly tells the story of Huo Linglong, the eldest miss of Linglong Villa, and Zhan Zhao, the southern Xia, working together to fight for justice, catch criminals and seek justice for the people. Zhan Zhao, played by Yang Yang, plays a very important role in the play, and if it can be well played, it will certainly attract more fans.

As can be seen from the filming and production record, "Yulinling" will be filmed in July this year, and the production cycle is 8 months, with a total of 40 episodes. As the hero of this play, Yang Yang’s next performance has attracted much attention. The production level of midday sunshine is also worth looking forward to.

This is not the first time that Yang Yang has appeared in a costume drama, but overall, he is not outstanding. Before, there was "Heroes of Wudong Gankun Out of Teenagers", and after that, there was "Try the World" with word of mouth. The scores were not very high, and the feedback given by the audience was not satisfactory.

In the drama "The Hero of Wu Dong Gan Kun Comes Out as a Teenager", the biggest controversy on Yang Yang lies in the expression management. All kinds of micro-expressions are constant, and the acting skills are exaggerated, giving people an uncomfortable feeling of overexertion. Netizens made Yang Yang’s performance clips into expression packs, and abruptly turned cool martial arts films into jokes.

In "Let’s Try the World", Yang Yang still failed to win the audience’s favor. Everyone thought that Yang Yang’s performance was too heavy, and the idol burden was heavy, so it was a bit too pretentious to substitute for the role.

In the original work, the hero is a chivalrous man who enjoys a good reputation in the rivers and lakes, and at the same time has great love. However, Yang Yang didn’t have the strong and soft performance role, but forced to pretend to be domineering, and performed a lame feeling of neither fish nor fowl.

If you want to play a good male actor, just playing the role of being crazy and cool can’t explain the characteristics of the role. Yang Yang’s previous problem was that his acting skills were too suspended, either overexert or pretending to be calm. In short, his impressions were very unreal. As for what kind of answer paper "Yu Lin Ling" will hand over to the audience, it depends not only on the performance of the protagonist, but also on the performance of the producer’s midday sunshine.

As we all know, Noon Sunshine is a well-known film and television drama production company. It has produced many well-known TV dramas, such as nirvana in fire, Pretender, Ode to Joy, Do you know whether it should be green and fat and red and thin, Minning Town, and Qiao’s children, and so on, which are well-known in the industry.

In the audience’s mind, midday sunshine has always been synonymous with quality and professionalism. Excellent behind-the-scenes production team and online story content are all added points in the audience’s mind. Kong Sheng, his director, also won the "Flying Award" for best director with his three plays "No War in Peiping", "nirvana in fire" and "Parents’ Love", which pushed Noon Sunshine to the position of industry benchmark for a time.

Although the quality products continue, there has also been a word-of-mouth collapse in the midday sunshine. For example, in the last few seasons of Ode to Joy, some viewers vomited that the plot was gradually suspended, and the relationship between the characters was complicated and chaotic. The group images that should have been distinct became sticky and gradually deviated from the original creative ideas.

Similarly, there is the costume drama "Qing Ping Le", which has a group of acting schools and popular young people such as Wang Kai, Jiang Shuying, Ren Min, Yang Le, Bian Cheng, Yu Entai and Wang Churan, and received considerable attention before it was broadcast. The cast is strong, the story culture is profound, and the service is exquisite and exquisite, which has the potential to become an explosion.

Unfortunately, this drama lacks stamina. On the one hand, the rhythm is too slow, and the emotional line is too slow. On the other hand, the tone of the whole drama is too dull. It seems that everyone is bound by an invisible net, and everyone lives as a hollow person. Therefore, the audience is less and less motivated to pursue the drama, and the score and reputation of this drama are gradually declining.

The officially announced "Rain Bell" also belongs to the theme of costume drama, and it is still produced in the midday sun. The leading actor is Yang Yang, a proper combination of strong and powerful. Yang Yang himself has a strong fan base, and the traffic is in full swing. With him as the leading actor, at least you don’t have to worry about the lack of popularity of the play.

At noon, Sunshine has produced many excellent dramas and has rich production experience. Not surprisingly, Yulinling will still be a quality work. It’s just that everyone can’t predict the taste of the audience, and the lessons from the past are in front of us, and both actors and producers can’t take it lightly.

Looking at it from another angle, the cooperation between Yang Yang and Noon Sunshine is also like a turnaround. In recent years, both sides have experienced different degrees of word-of-mouth crisis. The acting problem is a cloud hovering over Yang Yang’s head for a long time, while the midday sun is also being questioned by the outside world about his creative level. Playing well and the audience like it is a win-win situation for both sides. On the other hand, word-of-mouth viewing will also spread to both sides, which is a situation that everyone does not want to see.

There will be many new dramas on the line this year. Can Yulinling stand out from many TV dramas? Can Yang Yang and midday sunshine successfully reverse word of mouth? I believe the audience will give the most objective score.

Foreign media: Russia refutes US criticism "Don’t lecture Russia on nuclear deployment"

  [Global Network Reporter Zhu Jiaqi] On the 25th, local time, Russia and Belarus signed an agreement in Minsk to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, and Russia reserved control over nuclear weapons. This is the first time that Russia has deployed nuclear weapons abroad since the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991, which triggered accusations from the United States and the West. According to Reuters, the Russian Embassy in the United States refuted the criticism from the United States on the 27th, reminding the United States not to lecture Russia on nuclear deployment, and said that Washington has been deploying tactical nuclear weapons in Europe for decades.

On May 25th, Russian Defense Minister shoigu (left) and Belarusian Defense Minister Khrenin signed an agreement in Minsk to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus.

  It is reported that US President Biden said on 26th that he held an "extremely negative" attitude towards the agreement signed by Russia and Belarus to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus. The State Council spokesman Miller said that this measure is "the latest example of Russia’s irresponsible and provocative behavior since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine more than a year ago".

  In this regard, the Russian side responded quickly. According to the report, the Russian Embassy in the United States said in a statement that "in the case of a large-scale mixed war launched by Washington against us, Russia and Belarus have the sovereign right to take the measures we think necessary to ensure their own security" and "the measures we have taken are in full compliance with our international legal obligations".

  According to the report, the Russian Embassy in the United States also said that the US criticism of Russia’s tactical nuclear weapons deployment is hypocritical. "Before accusing others, Washington should reflect on itself." "For decades, the United States has maintained a huge nuclear arsenal in Europe. It is also shared with NATO allies and conducts nuclear weapons training for Russia. "

  Reuters mentioned that since former US President Eisenhower authorized the deployment of nuclear weapons in Europe during the Cold War to counter the threat of the Soviet Union, American nuclear weapons have always existed in Western Europe. In 1954, America’s first nuclear weapons in Europe were deployed in Britain.

  "Symmetrical response", "Russia Today" TV station previously reported that the defense ministers of Russia and Belarus signed an agreement on the 25th of this month to determine the storage procedures of Russian tactical nuclear weapons in a special repository in Belarus. Russian Defense Minister shoigu said that these measures are in line with all existing obligations under international law. Russia is not transferring nuclear weapons, and the control and decision-making power are still in Russia’s hands. "Why did Russia deploy tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus?" "Russia Today" TV station quoted expert Koshkin as saying that the US-led NATO is expanding further, followed by NATO’s nuclear military facilities being close to Russian territory. To this end, Russia decided to deploy tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of its allies, which will fully ensure the security of Russia and Belarus. Khrolenko, a military expert, said that Russia and Belarus’ move was a response to the West, including Britain’s supply of depleted uranium bombs to the Kiev regime. He also warned that the range of iskander missiles deployed by Russia in Belarus with tactical nuclear weapons can cover Poland, Slovakia and the Baltic countries, not to mention Ukraine. Therefore, this deployment will make "some hostile neighbors act cautiously."

Many college students are dropped out of school because of truancy, which leads to a heated discussion.

  ● College students should have the right to choose courses, but some compulsory courses arranged by schools are unwilling to attend, so schools should arrange teaching plans reasonably and teachers should improve teaching quality; If students are still absent from school even if they can choose courses, then the school has the right to punish students who violate the school rules.

  ● The Higher Education Law clearly stipulates the school’s academic evaluation right. How to judge students’ grades, academic standards and credit requirements belongs to the academic evaluation right, and the school enjoys full autonomy.

  ● Sticking to academic evaluation standards is the school’s job, and it is also the performance of being responsible for talent training. The school has the responsibility to continuously improve the teaching level. However, the education department should strengthen the management of the phenomenon that some schools lower their academic evaluation standards for improper purposes.

  □ Legal Daily reporter Du Xiao

  □ Legal Daily Intern Guo Hui

  Recently, at the news briefing held by the Ministry of Education, Wu Yan, director of the Higher Education Department of the Ministry of Education, thought that it would be a good signal if the school handled it according to relevant regulations in response to such incidents as "40 college students of Hebei Institute of Physical Education were directly dropped out of school".

  It is reported that on June 18th, the Academic Affairs Office of Hebei Institute of Physical Education issued the "Announcement on Handling 40 Students, including Du Mou". According to the circular, because 18 students did not participate in the teaching activities stipulated by the school for a long time, and did not go through the relevant formalities, 22 students did not return to school to apply for resumption or withdrawal after the expiration of their suspension. With the approval of the research of the party and government liaison meeting and the dean’s office meeting of the social sports department, sports training department and martial arts department to which 40 students belong, the school decided to withdraw 40 students and make an announcement through the website of the Academic Affairs Office of Hebei Institute of Physical Education. 40 students who have dropped out of school must go to the school to go through the formalities of dropping out of school or raise objections before July 3, 2019.

  On October 25th, WeChat official account, the official WeChat of Hebei Institute of Physical Education, reprinted an article entitled "40 students were expelled from school for truancy, but they were not convinced to appeal to the school afterwards, and truancy was unreasonable". According to the article, students don’t respect the school when they are absent from class. "Going to the appeal school now has no effect and will only waste their time, money and energy."

  This matter continues to ferment, causing widespread concern in society. It is worth noting that in recent days, some colleges and universities have taken similar measures for a small number of students who violate school regulations.

  Absenteeism is not common.

  Occasionally skipping classes without punishment.

  In order to further understand the truancy, the reporter of Legal Daily interviewed dozens of college students from different universities at random. More than 10 people said they never skipped class, most said they only skipped classes occasionally, and the rest said they skipped classes more often.

  Most of the students interviewed said that they were absent from class because of conflicts with extracurricular practice. A few people admit that they are absent from school because of their laziness, and think that games and sleeping in are more attractive. There are still a few people who say that teachers can skip classes without calling the roll.

  Chen Jie (pseudonym) is currently studying in a university in Beijing. He is absent from school more often. "Sometimes I want to finish it in the dormitory because I haven’t finished my extracurricular practice. In the morning, cut class is mostly because I can’t get out of bed. At the same time, I am lucky. After all, teachers don’t arrive at every class. "

  Chen Jie paid the price for his truancy — — Due to more truancy, many courses usually get low marks, which further affects the class comprehensive test ranking.

  "I want to fight for the promotion quota when I start my junior year this year, but the school stipulates that only the top 50% of the class are qualified. I used to think that it was nothing to miss two classes at a time, but I didn’t expect it to affect some of my later choices. I regret it." Chen Jie said.

  The "Legal Daily" reporter learned that it is a common mode for teachers to reflect attendance on their usual grades.

  A graduate tutor of Communication University of China, who asked not to be named, said: "University is a relatively free place. I have no objection to students doing things that they feel more valuable in their own class hours, but at the same time, I should be allowed to reflect the differences in my usual grades, and there will be gains and losses. If everyone gives the same score, it is unfair to those students who come to the classroom seriously. "

  However, more than half of the college students interviewed by the reporter of Legal Daily said that although they missed classes, they were not punished.

  Strive to improve the quality of teaching

  Effectively curb absenteeism

  During the interview, some students supported the practice of Hebei Institute of Physical Education: "If people who have been absent from class for a long time can still graduate smoothly, this will undoubtedly reduce the gold content of their academic qualifications, which is unfair to other students who study hard. No matter what the reason, even if it is because of the conflict with extracurricular practice time or occasional mental slack, it should be based on the completion of basic learning tasks. If it violates the school regulations, it must be handled in accordance with relevant rules and regulations. "

  Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at China Academy of Educational Sciences, believes that college students’ truancy depends first on what classes they are absent from. College students should have the right to choose courses, but some compulsory courses arranged by schools are unwilling to take them. If this is the case, then the school should also reflect and arrange the teaching plan more reasonably, so that teachers can improve their teaching. If students are still absent from school even if they have a choice, then the school has the right to punish students who violate the school regulations.

  "What deserves people’s consideration is that even with the precedent of students being dismissed because of truancy, it is still uncertain whether they can really play a role in spurring or warning. Some doctoral and master students think that some courses are worthless, so they don’t go to them. Generally speaking, there are still such problems in universities. The weight of compulsory courses is relatively heavy, and the quality may not be guaranteed. If students are punished for truancy, including being dismissed, it is undoubtedly in line with the school rules, but it may not be consistent with the goal of improving teaching quality. In the end, there may be such a situation that the school punishment is punished, but the students who don’t go to class still don’t go to class, which doesn’t work for some students. " Chu Zhaohui said.

  Xiong Bingqi, vice president of 21st Century Education Research Institute, believes that to curb truancy, we should start with improving teaching quality. As early as 20 years ago, China’s education department asked universities to establish a system of professors giving lectures to undergraduates, but so far, this system has not been established in many universities. According to the data recently released by the Ministry of Education, 80% of professors and associate professors teach undergraduate students. Compared with before, great progress has been made, but it also shows that there is still a lot of room for efforts to implement the system of professors giving classes to undergraduates. If universities want to be strict with students, they must strengthen process management, so they must reform the teacher evaluation system and ask teachers to devote themselves to teaching.

  "What about the students who dropped out of school? It is another controversial point for college dropouts. Under the current system, if a student is dropped out of school, it will be difficult for him to transfer to another university. He can only return to the college entrance examination system, re-register for the college entrance examination and fill in his volunteers before he can be admitted to a full-time university. Otherwise, you have to choose adult education or study abroad. This is undoubtedly an obstacle to eliminating unqualified students. " Xiong Bingqi said.

  Violate school rules and resolutely retreat.

  Elimination mechanism is essential.

  In addition to truancy, some colleges and universities have also taken punishment measures for a few students who violate other school regulations.

  Recently, Fudan University issued a notice saying that according to the Regulations on the Management of Student Status of Fudan University, the principal’s office of the school decided to make a decision to drop out of school for 12 graduate students who recently found that they had not graduated or finished their studies after the expiration of their study years. Fudan University publicized the list of 12 graduate students who dropped out of school, and declared the students’ right to appeal.

  In addition, China Geo University (Beijing) expelled 52 graduate students at one time, including 42 doctoral students and 10 master students. The school said that the reason for the expulsion was "not completing the study within the maximum study period stipulated by the school", which violated the first paragraph of Article 30 of the Regulations on the Management of Students in Ordinary Colleges and Universities of the Ministry of Education and the fifth paragraph of Article 37 of the Implementation Rules for the Management of Postgraduates’ Status in China Geo University (Beijing).

  China Renmin University also expelled 16 undergraduates at one time, including international students.

  Wu Yan said in an interview with the media: "In the world, the graduation rate of colleges and universities is actually very low, and China is relatively high, but we have our own national conditions and cannot simply compare them. Even so, if all students enter the school and enter the safe area, they must graduate. This situation must be changed. "

  "Playing games and falling in love every day, the muddleheaded days will be gone forever, and we can’t engage in ‘ Play hard ’ Middle school, also can’t do ‘ Happy ’ The university. Each university can grasp the quality of undergraduate education in different ways, but the goal is the same. " Wu Yan said.

  Wang Jingbo, dean of the Institute of Government under the Rule of Law of China University of Political Science and Law, believes that the higher education law clearly stipulates the academic evaluation right of schools, which is the core of academic power. As an educational institution, a school enjoys complete academic evaluation power for students’ academic ability and academic achievements, and the academic evaluation power is academic. How to judge students’ grades, academic standards and credit requirements belong to the core academic evaluation right of the school. For this power, the school enjoys a high degree of autonomy. For students who do not meet the academic evaluation standards stipulated by the school, the school can take some measures, such as demotion and dropping out of school. It is worth noting that there are essential differences between dropping out of school and expelling from school. If a student’s academic performance is unqualified, then the school’s measures may be dropping out of school, not expelling from school.

  Chu Zhaohui believes that it is necessary for students who fail in academic performance to graduate or need to be reduced in degree. Universities must have elimination mechanism. Without elimination mechanism, the teaching quality cannot be improved, which will also have a negative impact on students’ studies.

  In Wang Jingbo’s view, adhering to the academic evaluation criteria is the school’s job, and it is also a manifestation of being responsible for talent training. Schools have the responsibility to continuously improve the teaching level, but in practice, there are many colleges and universities with many levels, and there are differences between schools. Some schools lower academic evaluation standards for improper purposes. The education department should strengthen the management of this problem, supervise the school through evaluation and evaluation, and guide the school to strengthen the teaching quality. The education department should deal with acts that obviously violate the laws of education. At the same time, the school should also have its own brand awareness. Once the school’s reputation is bad, it will lose the sustainability of development.

McKinsey released: The Economic Potential of Generative Artificial Intelligence: The Next Wave of Productivity.


On June 14th, 2023, McKinsey, a global consulting giant, released the report "The Economic Potential of Generative Artificial Intelligence: The Next Wave of Productivity". Meta-strategy extracts the important contents of the report, and discusses the impact of future generative AI on the global economy after the exponential development of artificial intelligence (AI).

01

Commercial value of generative AI

(1) Generative AI may contribute "one British GDP" to the global economy every year.


McKinsey pointed out that if the 63 kinds of generative AI analyzed are applied to all walks of life, it will bring about an annual growth of 2.6 trillion to 4.4 trillion US dollars for the global economy (the total GDP of the UK in 2021 is 3.1 trillion US dollars). This forecast has not counted all the applications of generative AI. If the applications that have not been studied are counted, the economic impact of generative AI may double.


Figure 1 Potential impact of generative AI on the global economy


(2) The potential value of generative AI (about 75%) is mainly concentrated in four aspects: customer operation, marketing and sales, software engineering and product research and development, which means that the above four businesses are most affected by generative AI.


Figure 2 Influence of Generative AI on Different Services


(1) customer operation: improve customer experience and enhance customer service productivity.


Generative AI may completely change the whole customer operation business and improve customer experience and customer service productivity through digital self-service. Because this technology can automatically interact with customers using natural language, it has attracted much attention in the field of customer service. It is found that in a company with 5,000 customer service staff, the application of generative AI improves the hourly problem solving rate by 14%, and reduces the time spent dealing with problems by 9%. It also reduced the turnover rate of customer service seats by 25%. Crucially, generative AI can improve the productivity and service quality of inexperienced customer service staff, while AI assistants do not improve (sometimes even reduce) the productivity and quality index of highly skilled customer service staff.Application scenarios for using generative AI to improve operations include:

1. Customer self-service

2. Solutions for initial communication

3. Reduce response time

4. Increase in sales


McKinsey estimates that applying generative AI to customer service business can improve productivity and save 30% to 45% of current business costs.


(2) Marketing and sales: improve the efficiency of personalization, content creation and sales.


Generative AI will quickly dominate the marketing and sales business. This technology can create personalized messages according to customers’ interests, preferences and behaviors, and perform tasks such as making the first draft of brand advertisements, headlines, slogans, social media posts and product descriptions. In addition, generative AI can be integrated into various applications to provide higher quality data insight, bring new ideas to marketing activities and better locate customer groups. Marketing departments can allocate funds to producing higher quality content and reduce outsourcing expenses.The potential operational advantages of using generative AI for marketing include:

1. Efficient content creation

2. Make full use of different types of data

3. Optimize search engines

4. Product and search personalization


McKinsey estimates that generative AI can increase the economic value of marketing productivity by 5% to 15%. In addition, in addition to having a direct impact on marketing productivity, generative AI will also have a chain reaction, which will increase sales productivity by 3% to 5%.


(3) Software engineering: as a coding assistant to speed up the work of developers.


Generative AI directly affects 20% to 45% of annual software engineering expenditure. This value mainly lies in reducing part of working time, such as generating initial code, code revision and reconstruction, root cause analysis and generating new system design. A recent study found that software developers who use Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot complete tasks 56% faster than those who don’t use the tool.
A study conducted by McKinsey on the software engineering team found that the time required for employees to generate and refactor code is extremely reduced, and engineers generally believe that the work experience has been improved, indicating that the generated AI makes the work happier, the process more convenient and it is easier to get a sense of accomplishment.

(4) product research and development: reduce research and design time and improve product simulation and testing.


It is found that generative AI can increase the productivity of product development by 10% to 15%. Taking life science and chemical industry as an example, generative AI can accelerate the process of developing new drugs and materials, which may increase the profits of pharmaceutical companies and medical products companies by as much as 25%.McKinsey believes that generative AI can speed up the time to market of products, and bring productivity improvement and operational convenience from the following two aspects:

1. Optimize product design

2. Improve product quality

02

Generative AI transforms all walks of life.

Generative AI will have a great impact on all walks of life. Among them, the retail and consumer goods, banking, pharmaceutical and medical industries are the most affected.


Figure 3 Generative AI applications have different impacts on business functions in all walks of life.


(1) Generative AI is a key element driven by the value of retail and consumer goods.


Generative AI can increase productivity by 1.2% to 2.0% and create economic value of 400 billion to 660 billion US dollars every year. In order to simplify the process, generative AI can automate key businesses such as customer service, marketing and sales, inventory and supply chain management.The following are the applications of generative AI in retail and consumer goods:

1. Reshape the customer interaction mode

2. Accelerate value creation in key areas

3. Solve problems quickly and enhance customer service insight.

4. Subversive innovation


(2) Generative AI helps the banking industry realize great value.


Generative AI may have a major impact on the banking industry. By increasing productivity by 2.8% to 4.7%, it can create economic value of 200 billion to 340 billion US dollars every year.The following is the application of generative AI in banking:

1. Use AI virtual experts to help improve employee performance.

2. Accelerating code generation can reduce technical debt.(tech debt)And deliver software faster.

3. Generate customized content on a large scale


(3) Productive AI improves the speed and quality of pharmaceutical and medical research and development.


Productive AI can increase the productivity of pharmaceutical and medical care by 2.6% to 4.5%, and create economic value of 60 billion to 110 billion US dollars every year. Pharmaceutical companies usually spend about 20% of their income on research and development, and the research and development of a new drug takes an average of 10 to 15 years. Generative AI can greatly improve the speed and quality of pharmaceutical and medical research and development.The following are the applications of generative AI in pharmaceutical and medical fields:

1. Improve the automation of preliminary screening.

2. Strengthen the indications(indication)To identify and prioritize, accelerate the process of drug development.

03

The Influence of Generative AI on Work and Productivity


(A) the development of generative AI and other technologies may make employees60 to 70%Work is automated.


Generative AI may change the work structure, and enhance the individual ability of employees by automating some work activities. The accelerated growth of Technical automation is largely due to the fact that generative AI has improved the ability to understand natural languages. For example, the specific work of middle school English or Chinese teachers includes preparing tests and correcting students’ homework. With the enhancement of AI’s ability in natural language, many of these activities can be done by machines, so that these teachers can spare more time for other jobs.


Figure 4 Potential level of automation of production AI technology


(2) The time when production AI replaces human work has been advanced by 10 years, and 50% of occupations will be gradually replaced by AI between 2030 and 2060 (the midpoint is 2045).


Fig. 5 The global automation level of the time spent in human work activities at present.


(3) Developed countries may adopt automation faster.


Due to the higher salary of employees in developed countries, the economic feasibility of adopting generative AI to realize automation will appear earlier. Although generative AI has great potential to automate specific work activities, the cost must also be compared with the labor compensation cost. In countries with low salaries such as China, Indian and Mexican, the adoption rate of automation is expected to be slower than that of developed countries.


Figure 6 automation adoption rate in some countries


(D) Compared with other types of jobs, generative AI has a greater impact on highly paid and highly educated knowledge workers.


It is not surprising that generative AI has a strong natural language ability, so its influence on manual workers is much less, because the function of generative AI is basically designed to complete cognitive tasks. It is found that generative AI has a greater impact on high-paid and highly educated knowledge workers, especially those activities involving decision-making, collaboration and application of professional knowledge. Therefore, many work activities involving communication, supervision, recording and interaction with people may be automated through generative AI, thus accelerating the transformation of professional work such as education and technology.


Fig. 7 The influence of generative AI on people with different salary levels in some countries


Fig. 8 Influence of Generative AI on People with Different Educational Levels


Fig. 9 Influence of Generative AI on Different Work Activities


(5) By 2040, productive AI can increase labor productivity by 0.1% to 0.6% every year.


Generative AI can greatly improve the labor productivity of the whole economy, but it requires funds to support employees to change their work activities. Combining generative AI with other technologies can increase productivity by 0.2% to 3.3% every year. However, employees need training when learning new skills, and some even change their careers. If employee transition and other risks can be managed, generative AI will make substantial contributions to economic growth and make the world more sustainable and inclusive.

Conclusion

Technological innovation can make people feel awe and worry. When this kind of innovation seems to be formed and widely spread overnight, both reactions will be amplified. The emergence of generative AI in the third quarter of 2022 is the latest example of this phenomenon, which was unexpectedly adopted quickly and was rushed to be deployed, integrated and used by companies and consumers.
It is very important to understand this phenomenon correctly and predict its influence. In view of the current deployment speed of generative AI, the demand for accelerating digital transformation and retraining the workforce has increased, and generative AI may create great value for the global economy. At the same time, generative AI may be more unstable than previous generations of AI. They have human-like ability and language, which is the basic requirement for knowledge workers, and it is also a technology that can be used to hurt feelings, create misunderstandings, cover up the truth, incite violence and even war.
McKinsey hopes to better understand generative AI, and add value to global company operations and promote economic prosperity. Companies, policy makers, consumers and citizens can work together to ensure that generative AI can create great value while limiting its possibility of disrupting normal life.

Saying goodbye to the era of negative interest rates, Japan raised interest rates for the first time in 17 years.

Reporter Chen Shenglong

On March 19th, the Bank of Japan announced that it would raise the short-term interest rate by 10 basis points to 0%, which is the first time that the Bank of Japan has raised interest rates since 2007. This means that Japan bid farewell to the negative interest rate era that lasted for eight years and became the last major economy in the world to abandon the negative interest rate policy.

At the same time, the Bank of Japan announced that it would withdraw from the yield curve control (YCC) policy and stop buying Japanese stock exchange traded funds (ETFs) and real estate investment trusts. However, the Bank of Japan said that it would continue to buy government bonds at roughly the same amount as before, and proposed to buy 400-550 billion yen of 5-10-year government bonds four times in April.

The Bank of Japan’s interest rate hike was basically in line with market expectations. At around 12:00 Beijing time, the Nikkei 225 index fell by 0.2% to 39,682.15.USD/JPY reported 149.87, which was basically the same as last day’s closing price.

Rengo, Japan’s largest trade union organization, announced last Friday that it had reached an agreement with the employers to raise the annual salary by 5.3%, 1.5 percentage points higher than the previous year, the biggest salary increase in 30 years. On Monday, the Nikkei Business News and other media quoted sources as saying that the Bank of Japan immediately conducted internal and external coordination on ending the negative interest rate policy after learning the above news. Prior to this, the Bank of Japan stressed that the rebound in wage growth is an important condition for inflation to continue to return to 2%. If a virtuous circle between wages and inflation can be confirmed, it will consider changing easing policies including negative interest rates.

Analysts pointed out that after the yen interest rate rises, Japanese investors’ preference for overseas assets may be weakened, thus pushing the global bond yield higher. But overall, the impact of Japan’s interest rate hike on global financial markets is moderate.

From deflation to moderate reflation

In the early 1990s, Japan’s real estate bubble burst, the stock market suffered a heavy blow, the unemployment rate rose, and the whole society fell into the low desire of deflation. After entering the 21st century, the Japanese government has implemented a series of stimulus policies, and only raised the policy interest rate in 2000, 2006 and 2007.

From 2001 to 2006, the Bank of Japan continued to buy a large number of government bonds and long-term bonds at extremely low interest rates, injecting liquidity into the banking system. In 2012, after Shinzo Abe was re-elected as prime minister, he tried to save the depressed Japanese economy by adopting ultra-loose monetary policy, loose fiscal policy and structural reforms to promote economic growth.

In 2016, the Bank of Japan announced that it would reduce the interest rate of excess reserve deposits of commercial banks from 0.1% to -0.1%, and since then Japan has entered the era of negative interest rates. However, it should be pointed out that the negative interest rate only applies to the current account of the Bank of Japan, not the personal deposit account.

The yield curve control (YCC) policy is also an unconventional monetary policy tool launched by the Bank of Japan in 2016. It aims to stimulate economic growth and push up inflation by setting a specific yield target for government bonds, especially maintaining the yield of 10-year government bonds at a level close to zero.

Abe’s "three arrows" have limited effect in boosting Japan’s economy, but it has made Japan’s monetary easing reach an unprecedented level. One of the consequences is the sharp depreciation of the yen against the US dollar. At present, the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Japanese yen is around 150, an increase of 72% compared with the end of 2012.

In 2022, due to the COVID-19 epidemic and the impact of international geopolitical tensions on the supply side, the prices of commodities such as oil rose sharply. In order to curb soaring inflation, major central banks around the world adopted a large-scale interest rate hike, the speed and extent of which was at least the highest in 20 years. According to the statistics of the Bank for International Settlements, in 2022, 38 central banks around the world raised interest rates 210 times, of which the Federal Reserve raised interest rates 7 times, with a cumulative increase of 425 basis points. In this process, the Bank of Japan still kept the short-term interest rate at -0.1%, but only relaxed the long-term interest rate change range from about 0.25% to about 0.50%. At that time, the governor of the Bank of Japan, Haruhiko Kuroda, believed that the price increase was a temporary phenomenon caused by the price increase of raw materials and other reasons, but in fact the inflation target was not realized.

The main reason for the Bank of Japan to make up its mind to withdraw from the negative interest rate policy this time is that the country’s inflation continues to exceed the inflation control target of 2%. According to the latest data, in January, Japan’s consumer price index (CPI) rose by 2.2% year-on-year, which slowed down for three consecutive months, but exceeded the Bank of Japan’s inflation target of 2% for 22 consecutive months.

The unexpected salary increase this year has further strengthened the confidence of the Bank of Japan. A substantial salary increase means that the real disposable income growth rate of residents is expected to turn positive, household consumption expenditure will increase, and Japan’s economy is expected to enter a more stable and sustained growth channel.

  AI empowers thousands of industries and applications to serve thousands of households.

  Nowadays, countries around the world are actively developing a new generation of artificial intelligence, and medical AI is developing rapidly. Tencent has also been approved for innovative medical devices in pneumonia, glaucoma, colon polyps and other diseases, becoming the first Internet technology enterprise with three types of medical AI certificates for multiple diseases. Wu Wenda, president of Tencent Health, said that "Tencent Shadow Digital Intelligence Medical Imaging Platform" condensed the scientific research strength of medical AI, broke the bottleneck of clinical application of AI, and really handed AI assistants to doctors.

  "Our ideal AI can not only improve production, promote innovation, but also be reliable. This ideal has been initially realized." Chen Xudong, Chairman and General Manager of IBM Greater China, introduced watsonx, an enterprise-level AI and data platform released by IBM at this year’s annual Think Conference. "It can not only help enterprises to use large models and generative AI, but also solve the three major challenges of enterprise-level AI application: one is to find the needed data, the other is to establish a suitable model, and the third is to supervise the operation of the system."

  For the industrial Internet platform, AI makes data more valuable. Facing the new situation and trend of accelerating energy revolution and energy transformation, Shenyang Institute of Automation, China Academy of Sciences, together with China Petroleum and Shenyang Zhongke Aowei Technology Co., Ltd., launched WIA-PA technology and system of industrial Internet of Things for smart oil fields. By constructing an industrial Internet of Things system with full coverage of oil field production, an industrial Internet of Things ecosystem integrating network, hardware and software was built, and real-time online monitoring of oil well production process dispersed in a wide area was realized, forming a new mode of smart oil field production integrating remote measurement, fault diagnosis and energy saving optimization.

  Consolidate the support of basic technology and embrace the future of digital technology

  Natural language is the fundamental symbol that distinguishes human beings from animals, and it is an important tool for human beings to exchange ideas and express emotions. Making computers understand languages, that is, natural language processing, is the key to realize universal artificial intelligence.

  Artificial intelligence is leading a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and the emergence of large language model has made people see the dawn of developing general artificial intelligence. Wang Haifeng, chief technology officer of Baidu, said that "knowledge-enhanced key technology of large language model", which breaks through the technology of knowledge internalization and external use, has the unique technical advantages of knowledge enhancement, retrieval enhancement and dialogue enhancement, and the efficiency advantage of joint optimization of model framework, which is helpful to accelerate the upgrading of industrial intelligence and explore the development of general artificial intelligence.

  Over the years, Tsinghua University and Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. have studied and established a set of "Basic Methods for Deep Learning of Natural Language with Multi-level and Multi-knowledge Integration" system, which has broken through some important bottlenecks of deep learning of natural language and significantly improved the basic ability of natural language processing model.

  One of the functions of language is to express the cognition of the brain. How to simulate the cognitive mechanism of the brain and realize efficient and hierarchical visual content perception has always been a major challenge in the field of computer vision. Zhao Yao, director of the Institute of Information Science of Beijing Jiaotong University, introduced the project "Hierarchical Content Perception of Visual Media". "Taking visual media as the main research object, we systematically and deeply study the related theories and methods of hierarchical perception of visual content, and form a coarse-grained and fine-grained progressive perception theory and solution from image level, object level to pixel level." Zhao Yao said.

  In addition, promoting the construction of digital infrastructure provides more possibilities for building a community of cyberspace destiny and promoting the progress of human civilization.

  Database is the jewel in the crown of basic software, and thousands of industries are deeply dependent on database for digitalization. Professor Li Guoliang, director of the Computer Department of Tsinghua University and deputy director of CCF Database Committee, introduced the project "GaussDB: Distributed Database", saying that GaussDB is an enterprise-level database for digital infrastructure. As a new generation of distributed database, it has built key advantages of high performance, high availability, high flexibility, high intelligence and high security through multi-dimensional innovation, meeting the full-scenario, intelligent database management needs of finance, government and enterprises, and supporting the digital transformation of thousands of industries.

  The security of digital information infrastructure is an important link in the construction of digital infrastructure. Li Jianhua, Dean of the Institute of Network Security Technology of Shanghai Jiaotong University, said that the project of "Efficient and Reliable Content Distribution of Large-scale Cloud-network Convergence System and Research and Development and Industrialization of Active Defense Technology" is characterized by integrating cloud-network convergence, content-driven and collaborative sharing into an integrated solution, realizing highly reliable content distribution, highly available network security and highly manageable content security.

  "The future development direction of IT and information security is network immunity. The network immune IT system has led us to take another step towards a safer and more resilient digital world. " Jun Yi, vice president of government affairs and public policy in Kaspersky Asia-Pacific, Middle East, Turkey and Africa, said that "Kaspersky Automotive Security Gateway" is a security gateway solution for the next generation of automobiles, which can meet the key requirements of secure communication within the automobile architecture.

The first installment of "Love Myth" was announced. Xú Zhēng’s interesting interpretation of uncle Shanghai.


1905 movie network news On September 23rd, the producer teamed up with Shao Yihui, the director and screenwriter of the post-90s female newcomer, with Xú Zhēng,,,, starring,,, and friendship as the leading roles. The film was officially released nationwide on December 24th.

The film released the first preview of the "What I Say" version, and Shanghai Uncle Laobai (Xú Zhēng) interpreted the definition of a gentleman with interest, only to be easily killed by the childish words of the little girl, and the humorous and brisk atmosphere could not help but make people smile. The film "Love Myth" brings a relaxed and pleasant viewing choice to the cold end of the year.

The official announcement of "Love Myth" made an appointment at the end of the year. Producer Xú Zhēng once again teamed up with the new director.

Produced by Xú Zhēng, directed by newcomer Shao Yihui, and starring Xú Zhēng, Ma Yili, wuyue, Ni Hongjie and Zhou Yemang, the official announcement of the film "Love Myth" was finalized on December 24th, and a variety of heavy materials were released. In the announcement of "The Words of Iraq" released this time, Uncle Laobai (Xú Zhēng) solemnly interprets "What is a gentleman", but at the critical moment, he is killed by the witty and childlike words of a cute little girl, full of wisdom and cuteness in life. In the preview of the movie "Love Myth", both the bright colors and the wise and interesting lines create a unique Shanghai-style temperament and a relaxed and humorous atmosphere, so that the audience can feel the relaxed festive atmosphere at the end of the year in advance.

As a heavyweight in the Chinese film industry, Xú Zhēng shuttles between works as an actor, producer and director, and is also willing to foster new directors. Different types of film works, such as those produced by its producer, all performed well, among which Dying to Survive achieved a double harvest of box office and word of mouth. This time, she teamed up with Shao Yihui, a post-90 s female director, to put the story in the ordinary streets of contemporary cities, tell the story from a life-oriented perspective, and use wisdom and humor to resolve the confrontation in interpersonal relationships.

The film "Love Myth" won two awards in one fell swoop in the venture capital film plan of the FIRST Youth Film Exhibition in 2020. As a female director, Shao Yihui described a landscape-oriented city in the script, and went deep into the attic of the alley to observe the real and lively life of the city at close range. As the director and screenwriter of the film, Shao Yihui said: "I have lived in Shanghai for six or seven years, and sometimes I feel more familiar than my hometown. Because when you are in your hometown, you actually don’t deliberately perceive the environment around you, because you were born there, but if you are in a relatively strange city, you will be more keen or more deliberately aware of the surrounding, from people to this environment. "

Xú Zhēng’s interesting interpretation of the relationship between Shanghai uncle Ma Yili wuyue Ni Hongjie becomes a mystery

Xú Zhēng, as one of the outstanding representatives of Shanghai-style actors, has contributed unforgettable screen images in many film and television works. Whether it is Cheng Yong, a shrewd philistine in Dying to Survive, or Mr. Xu, who is deeply puzzled by middle age in the "Embarrassing Series", it is enough to make the audience feel Xú Zhēng’s exquisite control ability for strong emotional figures. In the new work, Xu Zheng changed his old image and played an ordinary urban uncle. When talking about why he starred in this new work, Xú Zhēng said: "I think it is rare to come across a play with such a real sense of life. It has a lot of life details and life scenes, and it is very friendly with the urban temperament. "

In the noisy atmosphere at the end of the year, Xú Zhēng joined hands with many Shanghai-style actors to create a colorful picture of urban life. Although Ma Yili, wuyue and Ni Hongjie caught a glimpse in the trailer, the exquisiteness and amorous feelings of modern urban women have been vividly described. With the announcement of the film official, the film side also revealed more information at the same time. The six stills released by the film official explained love, marriage and friendship respectively. The caption of Xú Zhēng and wuyue’s stills reads, "Marriage, neglect consumes her more than cheating." The caption of Ma Yili and Ni Hongjie’s stills is, "Surprise, the round table can not only negotiate, but also appreciate each other." With the diversification of social environment and social life, contemporary people have a deeper understanding of the interpretation of "relationship". The relationship between several female characters in the film makes people have more room for reverie, and they are also full of expectations for the collision of several actresses’ acting skills.
