HANGZHOU, China, July 3, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- On June 29, the
"Gather Great Wisdom to Shape the Future of Intelligent
Manufacturing—Special Exhibition on Design Intelligence and High
Quality Development", hosted by the China Academy of Art (CAA),
opened at the National Museum of China in Beijing.
This exhibition is based upon a show of the results of the
Design Intelligence Award (DIA) hosted by CAA. The DIA has been moving toward its goal of "becoming
a world-class industrial design award" over the past decade.
Anchored in the intelligent manufacturing motifs of "humanistic
intelligence, life wisdom, science-art intelligence, and industrial
think tank", the DIA focuses on the deep integration of critical,
disruptive technological advances with humanistic care, with a
mission to identify and apply new technologies, products, and
models to lead the modernization and transformation of industries.
It has rapidly evolved into China's most globally influential
comprehensive innovation design award, providing unceasing momentum
for developing new quality productive forces and establishing a
robust innovation platform for high-quality development.
The exhibition showcases the select cases and cutting-edge
technological design works from the DIA over the past decade, as a
pioneering comprehensive review of China's advancements in design intelligence
and design evaluation, to meet the latest requirements on new
quality productive forces and elucidate the deep implications of
high-quality development.
The exhibition features over 180 outstanding products in the
field of design intelligence, centered around the theme of "Design
Intelligence and High-Quality Development." They are presented
through four thematic sections: "Artificial Intelligence",
"Life Health", "Green Development", and "Better
Life", along with four scenarios: "Embodied
Intelligence", "Brain
Space", "Low-Altitude Economy", and "Smart
Kitchen Appliances". They represent China's significant achievements in
high-quality development and intelligent transformation in the new
era and serve as vivid examples or typical cases for the
exploration and development of new quality productive forces.
Gao Shiming, President of CAA, said, "The DIA is more than just
an award, as it is establishing a global industrial think tank for
the innovative development of the current digital economy and smart
society, providing 'design intelligence' for the iterative
innovation of 'Made in China'. We
always believe that the focus of design is on 'people,' not
'objects'. It is the designer's responsibility to create new life
aesthetics in the digital intelligence era and preserve and develop
humanity in the context of the new digital civilization
characterized by new technological conditions, social connections,
values, and ethics of the 21st century."
Artificial Intelligence—From Computer Aid to Brain-Inspired
Intelligence
With the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital
technology, human society is advancing toward intelligent
digitization while experiencing significant transformations in
lifestyles and thinking patterns. Artificial Intelligence is
evolving from a simple computer aid to a complex system with
intelligent judgment and autonomous action competence, increasingly
resembling the human brain.
This section presents the developments of brain-inspired
intelligence technology in various fields through three sub-themes:
"Industrial Hub", "Aerospace Intelligent Control", "Immersive
Intelligence", and one scenario: "Embodied Intelligence".
Life Health—From Healthcare to Human Enhancement
Humans are the objective of development, not the means of
development. Life health underpins human reproduction and survival,
the inheritance and innovation of civilization, and the advancement
and evolution of society.
This section focuses on product innovation in healthcare through
three sub-themes: "Functional Extension", "Life Maintenance",
"Health Management", and one scenario: "Brain Space".
Green Development—From Economies of Scale to Green New
Quality
Green development is an essential part of high-quality
development, and new quality productive forces are inherently green
productivity. In the context of ecological civilization
construction transcending geopolitical boundaries and involving the
fate of humankind, there are challenges in coordinating the
relationships among high-quality development, ecological
civilization construction, and new quality productive forces to
activate green new quality efficiencies. Design intelligence
provides rich and valuable cases to help address these
challenges.
This section zeroes in on concrete practices of design
intelligence in fostering green development across fields through
three sub-themes: "Low Carbon Travel", "Clean Energy", "Green New
Materials", and one scenario: "Low-Altitude Economy".
Better Life—From Lightweight Convenience to Intelligent
Betterment
Driven by rapid technological progress and continuous design
innovation, people's lifestyles are being redefined in an
unprecedented manner. Amidst the transformation, design
intelligence is a key force in enhancing the convenience and
intelligence level of daily life as it substantially contributes to
bridging the gap between the increasingly growing need for a better
life and the insufficient and unbalanced development in
China.
This section showcases a new life vision of human-machine
harmonious coexistence shaped by tech innovations through three
sub-themes: "Optimized Daily Life", "Kitchen Revolution", "Future
Cleanliness", and one scenario: "Smart Kitchen Appliances".
The "Gather Great Wisdom to Shape the Future of Intelligent
Manufacturing—Special Exhibition on Design Intelligence and High
Quality Development" has sent out a message that the deep
integration of technological innovations and design intelligence,
especially cutting-edge innovations, disruptive technologies, and
advanced manufacturing technologies represented by new-generation
IT, is playing a key role in AI application, life health, green
development, and life betterment. This is increasingly becoming a
consensus across all sectors of society.
In adherence to its founding principle of "Gather Great Wisdom
to Shape the Future of Intelligent Manufacturing", the DIA aims to
establish an innovation platform for new quality productive forces
through multi-dimensional collaborations, including international
competitions, cross-sectoral alliances, business-education
integration, and regional coordination. This platform is expected
to contribute significantly to the high-quality development of
China's economy and society.
Alongside the exhibition, a seminar titled "Ten-Year Journey and
Future Development of the DIA Award" took place to review the
development journey and outlook of this prestigious award.
The exhibition will last through mid-August.
