The Standards War Behind an Academic Conference

57 papers, covering universities both at home and abroad, debuted in Shanghai as the inaugural academic platform of the World Artificial Intelligence Conference, initiated by China and aimed at the world. Placed against the backdrop of global top-tier AI conferences which often feature thousands of papers, this number doesn't seem particularly dazzling. But as a solution architect, what I see isn't the paper count, but the entire logic behind this platform: China is shifting from the track of "application implementation" into the deep waters of "academic definition."
