2024 Inclusion·Bund Conference Forum: Exploring the Creative Boundaries and Application Imagination of Large Models

The 2024 Inclusion·Bund Conference held a forum titled "Large Model Creativity Boundaries and Application Imagination," organized by the China Association for Artificial Intelligence and Ant Group, and hosted by the East China Branch of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology.

Prominent speakers included Chinese Academy of Engineering academician Jiang Changjun, Executive Vice‑Dean Sun Maosong of Tsinghua AI Institute, AI laboratory leader Qiao Yu, Professor Chen Huajun of Zhejiang University, and other industry leaders who shared insights on the latest trends and future applications of large‑model technology.

Key discussion topics covered intelligent agents, multimodal technology, and knowledge graphs, highlighting advances such as improved language generation, code generation, image/video processing, and 3D modeling that enable new opportunities for embodied intelligence.

During the forum, the "Large Model Industrial Application Technical Alliance" (LM‑IAT) was officially established to foster collaboration among 12 founding members, set up medical, financial, and foundational technology committees, and promote trustworthy, large‑scale AI deployment across industries.

Three flagship industry‑level large‑model products were announced: the "Shusheng·Jishi" digital finance platform (jointly released by Tongji University and Shanghai AI Lab), the "Xincheng Lingo" end‑to‑end speech large model by Xihuxinchen, and the "Xinhua Origin" integrated machine co‑developed by Muxi and Xinhua News Agency.

Ant Group and the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology also released the "Large Model Industry Trustworthy Application Framework Research Report," outlining a systematic framework to ensure professionalism, controllability, authenticity, and safety of large‑model applications in finance, healthcare, and government.

Experts emphasized that trustworthy AI frameworks and industry alliances are essential for scaling AI solutions responsibly and accelerating intelligent transformation across sectors.
