Huawei, along with industry partners, held the Intelligent World 2030
Forum. David Wang, Executive Director and President of ICT Products &
Solutions of Huawei, released the Intelligent World 2030 report with a keynote
speech on Exploring the Intelligent World
2030. This is the first time that Huawei has used quantitative and
qualitative methods to systematically describe the intelligent world in the
next decade and forecast industry trends, helping industries identify new
opportunities and discover new value.
Over the past three years, Huawei
has conducted in-depth exchanges with more than 1,000 academics, customers, and
partners in the industry, organized more than 2,000 workshops, and drawn on
data and methods from authoritative organizations, such as the United Nations,
World Economic Forum, and World Health Organization. Huawei has derived insights
from scientific journals such as Nature and IEEE, and drawn wisdom from relevant
industry associations and consulting firms, as well as experts within and
outside Huawei. Through these efforts, Huawei has developed the Intelligent World
2030 report, providing insights into ICT technology and application trends in
the next decade.
The report proposes
eight cross-disciplinary and cross-domain directions for exploration at the
macro level. It explains how ICT technologies can solve critical problems and
challenges of human development, and what new opportunities can be brought to
organizations and individuals. At the industry level, the report explores the
future technologies and development directions of communications networks,
computing, digital power, and intelligent automotive solutions.
Wang said, "30
years ago, we decided to enrich life through communications. 10 years ago, we
decided to connect every corner of the world, to build a better, connected
world. Now, our vision and mission is to bring digital to every person, home,
and organization for a fully connected, intelligent world. We firmly believe
that a brilliant intelligent world is arriving at an accelerated pace."
Many heavyweight
guests were invited to speak at the forum, including renowned futurist Steven
Johnson, founding and rotating chairman of the World Electric Vehicle
Association Chen Qingquan, Co-President of Roland Berg Global Management Committee
Denis Depoux, and Vice President of the China
Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) Wang Zhiqin. They
shared their insights on the intelligent world and discussed how ICT can better
drive socio-economic development.
As the prominent
futurist and science author Steven Johnson said, we are entering an era of
exponential growth. The
coming decades will be characterized by a golden age of collaboration between
human and machine intelligence,
and algorithms will enhance human intelligence. As technology grows
exponentially, all of society will benefit.
The Intelligent World
2030 Forum is the first time that Huawei has systematically shared cutting-edge
research and insights into the next decade. This sharing of knowledge will
bring great value to social development, especially for global digital
transformation and digital economy.
Imagination will determine
how far we will go in the future, action will determine how quickly we will reach
the future, and the best way to predict the future is to create it. There are
still plenty of challenges to overcome on the road to the intelligent world. As
David Wang said at the end of his speech, "We believe, the greatest wisdom
is found in shared ideas. Dreams are the key driver of social progress. Moving
towards the next decade, let's work together to shape a better, intelligent
world."
Overview
of the report:
Outlooks
for the intelligent world 2030:
We will live a better life in 2030, with more food, larger living spaces,
renewable energy, digital services, and no traffic. We will be able to relinquish
repetitive and dangerous work to machines, and have secure access to digital
services. To meet these needs, we have set eight directions for exploration,
including health, food, living, and transportation.
In 2030, we will be
able to identify potential health problems by computing and modeling public
health and medical data, shifting the focus from treatment to prevention. Precise
medical solutions powered by IoT and AI will become a reality.
In 2030, vertical
farms unaffected by climate will be applied on a large scale, so that we can
provide green food for all. 3D printing will make it possible for us to create
artificial meat to meet our nutritional needs.
Our homes and offices
will become zero-carbon buildings. Next-generation IoT technology will build
adaptive home environments that understand our needs.
New energy vehicles
will become the mobile "third space". New aircraft will make
emergency services more efficient, reduce the cost of medical supplies, and
change the way we commute.
In addition to
healthcare, food, living spaces, and transportation, Huawei has also explored
the future of cities, energy, enterprises, and digital trust. We look forward
to working with you to explore endless possibilities in 2030.
Communications Network 2030: In the
next decade, the objects and boundaries of network connectivity will continue
to expand. By 2030, as technologies such as XR, naked-eye 3D display, digital
touch, and digital smell develop further, "digital vision, digital touch,
and digital smell" will create an immersive and disruptive experience
through next-generation networks. At the same time, as networks evolve from
connecting billions of people to hundreds of billions of things, network design
will change from focusing on human cognition to machine cognition. We will see
an emergence of multi-level computing infrastructure for hundreds of billions
of things and massive data, as well as computing power networks that provide connectivity.
In addition, four future network scenarios will gradually become a reality. They
are the networks that will deliver a consistent experience for homes, offices,
and vehicles, satellite broadband Internet, industrial Internet, and computing
power network.
As part of the
intelligent world, the communications network of 2030 will evolve towards cubic
broadband networks, deterministic experience, AI-native, HCS, security and
trustworthiness, and green and low-carbon networks. Huawei
predicts that the total number of global connections will reach 200 billion by
2030. At the same time, enterprise network access, home broadband access, and individual
wireless access will exceed 10 Gbit/s, ushering in an era of 10 Gbit/s
connectivity.
Computing
2030: By 2030, the digital
and physical worlds will be seamlessly converged, allowing people and machines
to interact perceptually and emotionally. AI will become ubiquitous and help us
transcend human limitations. It will serve as microscopes and telescopes of
scientists, enhancing our understanding of everything from the tiniest quarks
to the largest cosmological phenomena. Industries already making extensive use
of digital technology will become more intelligent with AI. Computing energy
efficiency will increase dramatically, bringing us closer to zero-carbon
computing. Digital technologies can become a tool for achieving the global goal
of carbon neutrality.
Computing is
approaching its physical limits, so innovation in software, architecture, and
systems are needed. More importantly, the entire industry needs to jointly
explore a new foundation for computing, break through the physical limits of
semiconductors, and make computing greener, more secure, and more intelligent.
Huawei predicts that by 2030, humanity will enter the yottabyte data era, with
general-purpose computing power increasing by 10 times and AI computing power
by 500 times.
Digital
Power 2030: In the next decade, humanity
will enter the digital power era, striving towards low-carbon development,
electrification, and intelligent transformation. New renewable energy sources,
such as photovoltaic and wind power, will gradually replace fossil fuels. Power
electronic technology and digital technology are being deeply converged to
enable "bit to manage watt" throughout the energy system and realize various
intelligent applications on the "energy cloud". Huawei predicts that
by 2030, solar energy will become one of our main power sources, the proportion
of renewables in global electricity generation will be 50%, the share of
electricity in final energy consumption is expected to exceed 30%, electric
vehicles as a proportion of new vehicles sold will exceed 50%, and renewable
energy will power 80% of digital infrastructure.
Intelligent
Automotive Solution 2030:
In the next decade, electrification and intelligence will be unstoppable, and
ICT technologies will converge with the automotive industry. The automotive
industry will witness the development of intelligent driving, intelligent spaces,
intelligent services, and intelligent operations. Huawei hopes to use its ICT
technologies to enable an intelligent automotive industry and help carmakers
build better vehicles.
The ultimate goal of intelligent
driving is to use technologies such as autonomous driving to greatly reduce the
incidence of traffic accidents, and deliver
efficient and seamless travel experiences to users. Intelligent driving has so
far been mainly limited to
closed roads like high-speed roads and campus roads, but it will gradually see
more application on public roads, such as those in urban areas. Vehicles will become a new intelligent
space. With the support of ICT, technologies like AI, biometric recognition, in-vehicle optical sensors,
and AR/VR will bring new features to the cockpit. Intelligent vehicles will
truly transform from a flexible mobile space to an intelligent living space
that integrates the virtual and physical worlds. Huawei predicts that, by 2030,
autonomous vehicles will
account for 20% of new vehicles sold in China, electric vehicles will account
for more than 50% of new vehicles sold, vehicles
will come equipped with computing power of over 5,000 TOPS, and in-vehicle network transmission speed
per link will exceed 100 Gbps.
