According to Wu Hequan, Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) academician and Honorary President of CQUPT, the emerging technology industries in Chongqing has been booming in recent years, especially the Smart China Expo that was held in Chongqing in the past few years, gathering a number of big data artificial intelligence enterprises.
"Chongqing has also made good progress in building higher education with big data and artificial intelligence disciplines," said Wu. "New industries are gradually becoming the pillar industries of Chongqing, and its combination of information industry and traditional manufacturing industry has made a good demonstration for China in driving the digital transformation and high-quality development of traditional industries."
According to Zhang Ping, CAE academician and a professor of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, a large platform will be needed for unified command and processing with the development of big data and cross-processing of data in various fields.
He thinks, in this regard, Chongqing still has great opportunities and space in terms of data security.
