中新社南昌5月10日电：题：东西方在人工智能领域有何交流空间？ ——专访南昌大学元宇宙研究院院长闵卫东 中新社记者 李韵涵 此外，DeepSeek并没有一味追求"大"的模型，而是向垂直领域发展。实际上最近几年，全球范围内人工 智能领域内的专家学者一直在讨论，大数据大模型应何去何从？DeepSeek的出现让学术界和产业界都 认识到，可以不用那么高的成本去发展人工智能。事实上，自DeepSeek问世以来，整个产业跟进非常 快，还有一些更加垂直领域内的软件也已问世，这将导致未来产业进一步分化。 27日，中国大模型DeepSeek(深度求索)刷屏。中新社发 陈玉宇 摄 中新社记者：生成式人工智能的发展为各行各业都带来了巨大机遇，但同时也带来了不少挑战，您认为 东西方应如何共同应对这些新挑战？ 闵卫东：任何新兴事物的产生，都会带来相应挑战，我们应正视问题，而不能因噎废食。首先，我们都 要正视人工智能快速发展带来的产业变更风险。随着最新技术不断迭代，会孵化与延伸出许多新的产 业，一些无法跟上时代发展脚步的老旧产业可能会弱化甚至消亡。对此，需要进行相应的规划与布局。 例如，随着人工智能与人形机器人的结合，未来几年内人形机器 ...

Core Viewpoint - MicroAlgo Inc. has developed a blockchain storage optimization solution utilizing the Archimedes Optimization Algorithm (AOA) to enhance efficiency in blockchain storage systems, addressing key challenges in large-scale applications [1][10]. Company Overview - MicroAlgo Inc. is a Cayman Islands exempted company focused on developing bespoke central processing algorithms, providing solutions that integrate these algorithms with software and hardware to improve customer satisfaction and reduce costs [13]. Technology and Algorithm - The Archimedes Optimization Algorithm (AOA) is a metaheuristic algorithm inspired by Archimedean buoyancy principles, designed to optimize data storage and node collaboration in blockchain environments [2][10]. - AOA constructs a multi-objective optimization model targeting data sharding, resource allocation, and consensus efficiency, allowing for dynamic adjustments in storage systems [2][10]. Technical Workflow - The optimization solution encompasses five key stages: data preprocessing, sharding strategy optimization, node resource allocation, consensus mechanism enhancement, and security strategy tuning [3]. Data Preprocessing - Multi-dimensional feature extraction is performed on blockchain data, applying differentiated strategies based on data characteristics, such as lightweight serialization for structured data and homomorphic encryption for privacy-sensitive data [4]. Sharding Strategy Optimization - AOA models data sharding as an optimal partitioning task, dynamically adjusting storage node allocation based on data access frequency, ensuring efficient storage and access performance [5]. Node Load Balancing - AOA implements a real-time load monitoring model to balance node loads, guiding new data to underloaded nodes and migrating low-frequency data from overloaded nodes based on network conditions [6]. Consensus Efficiency - AOA enhances consensus mechanisms by optimizing block generation and validation, dynamically adjusting transaction sorting and prioritizing high-trust nodes to reduce malicious interference [7][8]. Security Strategy Optimization - AOA builds an encryption parameter optimization model to enhance data security, monitoring anomalies in on-chain data and facilitating rapid recovery from node failures [9]. Competitive Advantage - Compared to traditional storage strategies, MicroAlgo's AOA-based solution significantly improves efficiency, outperforming Genetic Algorithms by 40% and reducing iterations needed by 25% compared to Particle Swarm Optimization [10]. Future Directions - MicroAlgo plans to evolve AOA technology by introducing quantum computing acceleration, exploring algorithm-hardware co-design, and promoting integration with cross-chain protocols to enhance blockchain storage capabilities [12].
