00:00Wherever and whenever, we're all contributing to a digital transformation that's sweeping across the world.
00:07At Huawei's event in Paris, there are glimpses of the future in retail, finance, transportation.
00:13A digital transformation that's also heralded as being green and sustainable.
00:19Some of these technologies have already been deployed in the market.
00:25I hope we can accelerate this process, especially for the AI.
00:31I think this process, this AI capability for the robot or some retail intelligent solutions need a process.
00:41And this process needs also the effort from Huawei.
00:45People seem to be enthralled with scrolling, reading, listening, talking, texting, or messaging on the go.
00:54Eye-catching new technology is being promoted and evaluated.
00:59In this exhibition, there are ideas of how maybe we will work, travel, and shop in the future.
01:05How we'll connect, download, and store data faster than before.
01:10And of course, understanding new developments.
01:14Such as the social and ecological impacts of evolving new technologies, like artificial intelligence.
01:21Issues discussed at the Paris Peace Forum.
01:24We don't think about the environmental impact of new technologies, especially in artificial intelligence, enough.
01:32And the amount of energy necessary.
01:37The impacts on the land use, for instance, of what is our impact on the environment.
01:45Security is another concern.
01:47US officials have decided that equipment from Chinese suppliers can pose a threat.
01:52And are removing it from American networks.
01:54Huawei argues its equipment can't be used for spying.
01:58Artificial intelligence also needs international cooperation.
02:03There was a state visit of President Xi back in May.
02:07And there was a joint declaration on AI.
02:10And so, of course, China is invited to the AI Action Summit.
02:14China was invited to Bletchley Park as well.
02:17So we're not only continuing with that, but continuing with the French tradition of being as inclusive as possible for the summit.
02:26Concerns around evolving technologies are being discussed with more urgency.
02:30How inclusive are they?
02:32And how to regulate are of concern for some, especially in regards to artificial intelligence.
02:38It's a real disaster if the risks of cyber marry to the risks of AI in some way.
02:47Simply because for now, AI is a data-intensive intelligence.
02:54So that means you need a larger scale data.
02:58And now the data is all from the web.
03:01All the risks, all the biases from the human society has been giving inputs to all the AI models.
03:10Communicating new opportunities is the bread and butter of exhibitions like this.
03:14And it's probably equally important for all of us who's using and adapting to newer technologies.
03:20To understand how they work and impact our lives.
