                “China’s  landscape in Swedish Eyes” Photo Exhibition

2018 Photo Exhibition of Beijing, Zhangjiajie, Lijiang and Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region

The exhibition is jointly held by Green Post, a webb newspaper and multi-media and Kamera & Bild Magazine.

China is a multifaceted country with large variety of landscape and places with many different kinds of cultures meeting. Tourism has a great future in China both for Chinese and foreigners. There is a lot to see here! Here we show you the photos from two different tours.

Web newspaper Green Post editor Xuefei Chen Axelsson went to Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in western China in Aug. 24-31 this year together with 14 journalists from 13 countries along the silk road countries to see Xinjiang’s development in tourism industry. The project goes along with the Belt and Road Initiative proposed by President Xi Jinping. She visited Urumqi, Changji, Burqin, Altay and Kanas where there are rich tourism resources. The landscape includes Gobi, forests, Mountains and lakes. The Yadan landscape was formed by wind but the name was given by Swedish explorer Sven Hedin. The trip is worthwhile and the purpose was to wake some interest for both industries and tourists.

Magazine Kamera & Bild arranges various photo trips to various parts of the world regularly with travel bureau Zoom. In November this year, a group of 15 photo enthusiasts led by Swedish famous landscape photographer Claes Grundsten and photo journalist Johan Wessel. The group visited Beijing and Great Wall, the famous Tiger Leaping Gorge, National Park Zhangjiajie in Hunan Province in Central China and the beautiful longji in River Li in Guilin city, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in South China.

Through our pictures, together we like to show you some Chinese rich culture and beautiful natural landscape. We hope to give you some deeper impression about China.

今日头条: 2018人工智能峰会在斯德哥尔摩成功举办

北欧绿色邮报网报道(记者陈雪霏)–  2018人工智能峰会19日在瑞典皇家理工学院成功举办。中国驻瑞典大使桂从友19日出席在瑞典皇家理工学院举办的2018人工智能论坛并致辞。瑞典创新署署长伊萨克松和住房与数字发展部国务秘书卡尔松和使馆科技处戴钢参赞也出席了人工智能峰会。

2018Al峰会由AI Hub, IT&Telekomföretagen and Teknikföretagen联合组织召开的。峰会由AI Hub创始人程颖博士和Michael Collaros主持。程颖博士说,AI Hub的目的就是为AI人才和公司进行交流互通的平台。

瑞典皇家理工学院教授Leif Handberg 首先致开幕词。他很自豪地说,这里曾经是瑞典最早的核反应堆的旧址。1982年消除了核辐射,改装成了音乐室、舞蹈室和会议室,人们可以看到角落里还有钢琴,四周的布置都是通过各种灯光影响来营造一个温馨良好的会议氛围。这也是瑞典积极推广的科学要与艺术相结合。他欢迎大家来参加AI大会。

Anna-Karin Hatt, Almega总裁是瑞典前国家信息能源部部长。Almega是瑞典最大的和在政界、工业界最具影响力的企业联盟集团。瑞典所有的大公司(ABB, Volvo等)都属于其成员,总共有超过11000多公司成员,雇佣50多万人就业。她说,瑞典信息产业一直发展很好,名列前茅,但是,越是在这个时候,越要小心,不要不以为然,不知不觉被人超越。因此,瑞典必须在数字化,数字化养老等多方面继续加强研发和应用,更好地服务大众。她在强调发展人工智能的同时,一定要注意人工智能的积极正面发展,防止负面发展,她欢迎大家积极讨论这个问题。

瑞典创新署署长伊萨克松表示,人工智能是提高传统产业效率,改善人民生活水平的重要手段,也是瑞典政府创新署最重视的发展领域之一。作为传统科技创新强国,瑞典必须重视人工智能的作用,加大研发投入,加强人工智能知识的培训。人工智能的发展也给人类社会提出了新的挑战,包括各行各业面临的结构调整、人员失业及信息鸿沟问题。面对人工智能发展呈现出的跨行业和跨国界特征,各国应通力协作,共同应对,共谋发展。

 

桂大使在致辞中表示,人工智能是当前全球科技创新的最重要领域之一。在全球人口资源环境和经济发展不断变化、科技创新变革加快的大背景下,人工智能的发展受到广泛重视。中国政府高度重视并大力支持人工智能的发展,中国人工智能产业增长成绩显著。据统计,2017年,中国人工智能累计投资635亿美元,中国人工智能企业研发人员3.92万名,人工智能企业592家,均为世界第二位。

瑞典作为世界科技创新强国,在人工智能方面成绩卓越。我们愿在合作共赢的基础上,与瑞方发展包括人工智能在内的各领域的合作,推动中瑞友好合作关系不断向前发展。

 

瑞典数字化国务秘书卡尔松介绍了瑞典在人工智能方面的情况。他表示,瑞中两国有良好的科技创新合作基础。中国人工智能发展世界领先,瑞典高度重视与中国在科技创新和人工智能领域的合作,并与包括华为在内的多家中国科技企业开展了良好合作,期待双方共同努力继续拓展新的合作项目。瑞典也必须继续加大这方面的投入。

林雪平大学副教授Fredrik Heintz介绍了瑞典人工智能政策和欧盟政策及投入情况。同时,他也强调,瑞典可以在人工智能应用方面继续加大力度。

据程颖介绍, AI Hub的成立就是大家互相联系的结果,在瑞典大家有互相请喝茶的习惯,喝着茶或咖啡,大家进行头脑风暴,然后就碰撞出富有创意的火花来。

论坛召开之前,他们也带领瑞典人工智能方面的公司到中国杭州和南京去,结果反响非常好,双方都很乐意合作。AI Hub也是一个为AI公司和人士提供交流的平台。

上午的讨论主要是围绕中瑞和中欧之间在人工智能方面的政策和投入进行介绍和相互借鉴。据了解,目前中国在人工智能方面的投入位居世界第二。据麦肯锡资料2016年美洲公司内部人工智能方面的投入是150亿美元,亚洲是100亿美元,而欧洲只有20亿美元。

下午则是中瑞公司之间对人工智能的前景和应用及其规范的交流。

首先是瑞典著名大公司ÅF商务部经理Martin Kwasniewski介绍数字双胞胎概念的价值。

然后是IBM商务开发部,智能与识别技术负责人Patrick Counch介绍了IBM的人工智能未来计划。

紧接着,阿里巴巴集团阿里健康项目人工智能实验室主任王博士通过skype介绍了阿里大健康项目下的大数据和人工智能情况。

爱立信公司机器智能和自动化研发主任Elena Fersman介绍了爱立信的人工智能创新情况。

最后是浙江大学人工智能研究所主任吴飞教授通过skype 介绍了中国人工智能教育和创新的未来。

一整天的节目为出席的近百名人工智能和自动化方面的专业人士进行业务交流和相互学习提供了很好的平台。

芬兰将担任欧洲轮值主席国Nov 21-May 31 Finland to start its Presidency of the Council of Europe

By Xuefei Chen Axelsson

Finland’s Presidency of the Council of Europe will start on 21 November 2018. Secretary General of the Council of Europe Thorbjørn Jagland will visit Finland on 8 November.

During his visit, Secretary General Thorbjørn Jagland will meet Minister for Foreign Affairs Timo Soini, President of the Republic Sauli Niinistö and Speaker of Parliament Paula Risikko.

Finland’s Presidency will emphasise the Council of Europe’s work to promote human rights and the rule of law and to reinforce the rules-based international system. Finland also wishes to deepen the understanding of how new technologies affect human rights. An international conference on artificial intelligence and human rights will be organised in Helsinki on 26–27 February 2019.

The priorities of Finland’s Presidency of the Council of Europe are:

1) strengthening the system of human rights and the rule of law in Europe;

2) supporting equality and women’s rights;

3) openness and inclusion — as well as a focus on young people and the prevention of radicalisation.

Finland will hold the Presidency at a time when the Council of Europe is facing major political and economic challenges. Topical political issues will include Russia’s voting rights and non-payment of its financial contributions to the Council of Europe. The reform of the Council of Europe, coinciding with Finland’s Presidency, will also be on the agenda during Secretary General Jagland’s visit to Finland. Moreover, the Council of Europe will celebrate its 70th anniversary in May 2019, which will reflect on Finland’s Presidency.

Finland’s Presidency of the Council of Europe will last until the end of May 2019.
