["Digital Value Observation Room" is an in-depth video interview column about enterprise digitalization jointly launched by Titanium Media and ITValue, born out of the Global Digital Value Summit that has been held for more than ten consecutive sessions . The content of the column will focus on the digital issues that industry people are most concerned about, and invite industry experts and entrepreneurs as " observers " to discuss on the spot and explore the real questions and answers of the digital economy. 】
The National Two Sessions ended. The 2023 government work report proposed to "vigorously develop the digital economy." The data bureau has aroused widespread concern.
Some industry insiders once said that the domestic data circulation and factor market is a "dark jungle". Due to the lack of regulations on data rights confirmation, value mining and distribution, cross-industrial chain governance, data transactions, etc., the development of the data factor market is not smooth. Sound, the establishment of the National Data Bureau will bring huge changes to the data element market.
Why was the National Data Agency established? What changes will the establishment of the National Data Bureau bring to the industry? What is the key to data truly playing the role of production factor? In this issue of "Digital Value Observation Room Live Broadcast", three digital experts from different fields are invited to the live broadcast room to discuss the role and significance of the establishment of the National Data Bureau for the data market and digital economy.
The "National Data Bureau" can be regarded as the top-level design of the national digital economy. Why is it necessary to establish it now? Judging from its announced functions, what does it mean for the development of my country's digital economy?
The establishment of the "National Data Bureau" has specific impacts on the industry. What changes in the industry do you expect the establishment of the National Data Bureau to bring about and what problems will it solve?
Regarding the cross-regional circulation of data, has the Institute of Data Science and Technology encountered similar problems, and how have they been dealt with and resolved?
The currently announced responsibilities of the National Data Administration do not include data security and protection. As an important part of data development, what do you think of the management and governance of data security?
Data has become the fifth factor of production alongside traditional factors such as land, labor, capital, and technology. What is the key to data truly playing the role of factors of production?
Guests of this live broadcast:
Wang Guan, Deputy General Manager of Shenzhen Data Exchange
Song Shuyuan, Director of CLP Data Innovation-Data Innovation Research Institute
Cheng Wenbo, Product Director of Anheng Information Data Security
[The following is the actual text of the program, edited and deleted by Titanium Media APP]
Why is the National Data Agency formed now? What does it mean for the development of my country's digital economy?
Gai Hongda: The National Data Bureau can be called the top-level design organization of the national digital economy. From the perspective of the industry, why is there such a move? From the perspective of the announced functions, what does it mean for the development of China's digital economy? ?
Wang Guan: From 2021 to 2022, a lot of data exchanges have been successively established across the country, including first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. The Shenzhen Data Exchange was established in 2020. It is obvious that data elements are in the whole The roles played in production and life are not the same as before, and data elements are obviously different from other production elements.
For example, with labor, land, technology, etc., some new integrations can be produced. For example, when data elements are added to land, it becomes a digital twin; when finance and capital are added, it becomes financial technology; when labor is added, it becomes a new artificial intelligence.
Recently, the High Technology Department of the National Development and Reform Commission also published an article saying that data elements are the first production factor in the era of digital civilization. It can also be seen how the country views data elements. Especially after the birth of ChatGPT, everyone is more and more aware of it. It is understood that China needs high-quality data for feeding in order to be able to produce high-quality AI applications.
At the national level, high-level executives, including the market side, have begun to realize that data is inseparable from us. More and more companies have segmented the functions of data elements and clearly defined data management from IT flow and information flow. China has made some preliminary exploration and resource investment in the governance of data elements.
Song Shuyuan: Combined with our previous research, we can look at this matter from both domestic and international perspectives.
First of all, from a domestic point of view, the establishment of the National Data Bureau is a necessary measure to break through a series of blocking points in the development of data elements in my country in the past, and to promote the standardized and integrated development of new elements. From the perspective of the development of production resources, we have reached a consensus that data has become a key production factor in the digital age, and it is also the core of the digital economy.
In recent years, my country has achieved many beneficial results and experiences in terms of technological innovation around data elements and exploration of data exchange models. However, we can also see that there is still a series of problems such as insufficient effective supply of data resources in our country, fragmentation of the data market, and insufficient data value mining. There is a lack of such systematic system design and overall planning.
The establishment of the National Data Bureau can promote the construction of data infrastructure at the national level, the construction of basic data systems and the development and utilization of data resources, can solve some of the above-mentioned blocking points, and can promote the rapid development of the data market.
From a foreign perspective, the international competition around data is intensifying, and the establishment of the National Data Bureau is also a necessary measure for my country to take the initiative in development.
At present, most economies in the world have incorporated data resources into the top-level strategy of the entire country. Europe and the United States are the most typical, but the routes taken by the two are different. The EU aims to establish a single data market, emphasizing the establishment of a unified system and regulations at the EU level, the establishment of a unified infrastructure, that is, the Gaia system, and the construction of more than ten industry data spaces to complement Europe's digital technology. some weaknesses.
The United States is following the path of free market development, and the federal level will also issue overall deployments, action plans, and special strategies, and more of these operational activities such as data collection, aggregation, analysis, and transactions are undertaken through market entities.
We understand that under such a background, my country's establishment of the National Data Bureau can give full play to our country's institutional advantages, build a governance mechanism in line with digital productivity, and then give full play to the advantages of our country's massive data resources and rich application scenarios. Grasp the initiative of development in the increasingly fierce international competition.
Cheng Wenbo: We believe that the establishment of the National Data Bureau is the implementation of a very important reform measure in the construction of digital China. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, all prefectures, cities, provinces and municipalities have established big data management agencies. Some past explorations and practices have also provided very useful and key exploration experience for the establishment of the National Data Bureau.
The establishment of the National Data Bureau can well coordinate and promote the construction of the basic data system, and coordinate the integration, sharing, development and utilization of data resources, which is more conducive to strengthening the coordination and linkage of my country's digital government, digital economy, and digital society. To coordinate development and security, this can provide richer data resources and more efficient data acquisition channels for the big data industry.
A large AI model like ChatGPT requires very high-quality big data resources, so it will also provide a broader space for big data applications and data element markets.
In fact, the industry has been calling for it for many years, hoping to establish a department similar to the data management agency at the central level, so that the responsibilities related to the integration, sharing, development and utilization of data resources can be more centralized, and the overall coordination and promotion of my country's basic data system can be promoted. Construction can also promote the construction of digital China, digital economy and digital society better and faster.
What changes can the National Data Agency bring about and solve those problems?
Gai Hongda: What can the establishment of the National Data Bureau bring us? Specific to the impact of the industry, which problems can be solved?
Song Shuyuan: We believe that the establishment of the National Data Bureau can play a role in promoting the supply of data resources, its circulation and application.
First of all, from the perspective of supply, the current data supply side in my country, the phenomenon of data islands and data monopoly is still very serious. From the perspective of the public domain, one data is the openness of government data in my country, which ranks 71st among 115 countries and regions in the world. At the same time, we have monitored that more than 40% of the data open platforms built by the first-level governments have not been updated for a long time.
From the perspective of social data, the scale of Internet users in my country is huge. In the fields of instant messaging, online shopping, online food delivery, and online car-hailing, the user scales have exceeded 900 million, 700 million, 500 million, and 400 million respectively. This huge amount of data has not yet been fully released. Behind these two phenomena is more a problem that the data subject dares not or does not want to share. With the further clarification of the rules of the National Data Administration, we believe that the scale and quality of data supply will enter a new level.
The second level is data circulation. As Mr. Wang said just now, since 2015, data trading institutions authorized by local governments have been gradually established. If there are incomplete statistics, there should be more than 40. However, the analysis Open to see the business development situation, more than half of the activity is currently relatively low. But at the same time, a lot of data is traded through the "data black market", and the data black market is also an act that is now explicitly prohibited in our country.
Although leading cities and advanced data exchanges, such as Shenzhen Data Exchange, have formulated some local legal platform rules or industry conventions, the current fragmented industry and territorial governance model, It is still unable to meet the requirements of cross-regional, cross-industry, and cross-level data circulation of data elements. Therefore, the National Data Bureau promotes from a high level at the national level to solve the above problems, which can lay a solid foundation for us to establish a unified national data market. Good solid foundation.
The third aspect is the innovative application of data. At present, the innovation momentum of many market players has not been fully stimulated. With the further clarification of the requirements of digital economy and digital society construction in digital China, we believe that digital technology can be deeply integrated with the five in one of economy, politics, culture, society and ecological civilization construction, which will give birth to the vitality of application innovation in more scenarios .
Cheng Wenbo: One is data governance, the second is data security, and the third is data transactions.
Regarding data governance, there is no practical and effective unified standard for what format and norms should be used for data transactions and circulation. Without standards, data work will cause a lot of unnecessary troubles, including increasing the difficulty and work of data governance. quantity.
After the establishment of the National Data Bureau, it will be responsible for promoting the standardization of data. It will effectively unify and standardize various data formats, data structures, etc., which will help improve the efficiency and accuracy of data exchange, thereby speeding up the establishment of The data classification and classification protection system requirements mentioned in the data authentication law make the big data industry more standardized and standardized.
The other is data security. After the establishment of the National Data Bureau, it will be responsible for the management, supervision and security management of national data resources. This will mean stricter data security standards and regulatory requirements, so that risks such as data leakage and data abuse can be effectively controlled. There will be further demand for data security, whether it is consulting services or product technology. The National Data Bureau will promote the industry to a more stable development direction, especially for Party B companies that provide products and technical services to the government industry. For example, Anheng Information is a very big benefit.
In addition, it also includes manufacturers of domestic relational databases, big data storage, and cloud storage systems, as well as Xinchuang, which has to be mentioned. For domestic Xinchuang's chips, storage, operating systems, processors and other companies, there will also be long-term This is the second point I want to share, which is the provider of data security-related products and technical services.
The third is data transactions. The establishment of the National Data Bureau has dual meanings of supervision and economy, and it will be more conducive to coordinating the development and security of the digital economy. The circulation and transaction of data elements is inseparable from the cultivation of ecology. While the National Data Administration is promoting the industry to move towards a more stable development direction, such as telecom operator platform companies, industry-leading companies, this type of data suppliers or data demanders and Data service providers allow more market-oriented entities to actively participate in these links, so as to gather data resources, data elements, and industrial ecology, so as to speed up the process of market cultivation.
In addition, the National Data Bureau can promote the circulation of data elements and the healthy development of the transaction service ecology through financial support, tax support, first-hand trials, intellectual property protection, and other policy and content-related support.
For example, whether it is centralized transactions on the market or decentralized transactions outside the market, they all provide a relatively low-cost, high-efficiency, and reliable circulation environment, which will effectively reduce the cost of data circulation, improve the efficiency of data transactions, and further clarify The ownership of data reduces unnecessary disputes that may exist in the process of data circulation transactions, further empowers the opening of data, and activates the value of data.
Wang Guan: First of all, after the establishment of the National Data Bureau, it will actually change the previous situation of the data element industry from "Jiulong water control" to "Unification of the world", which will greatly promote the development of the entire industry. With the help of full-time personnel, the coordinated development of the national game of chess will be more perfect.
At the same time, some laws and regulations related to data, and some policies at the national level will be gradually clarified, including some ambiguities about data pricing and data rights confirmation, which can all be confirmed from the laws and regulations at the national level.
The second point is industry cultivation. At present, the data element industry is still in the early stage of cultivation, so many data exchanges were established in 2015, but in fact the transactions were not active because there was not such a big demand at that time, including the artificial intelligence industry. It has not yet developed, and the entire digital transformation has not yet reached a certain level. Many of the needs may be pseudo-demand, and he does not necessarily really need data as a resource.
But in the future, once data assets are listed, all third-party service agencies will grow up accordingly, including data quality assessment agencies, data security assessment agencies, data compliance assessment agencies, etc., which may not exist at all. This economic industry chain, based on the development of this new data element industry, will be rapidly cultivated. At the same time, many business enterprises will play a matching role in it. If there is no buyer or seller, matching this role is useless .
In fact, in the entire data trading market in the past few years, there is a phenomenon that "the business is not separated". The data exchange is both a referee and an athlete. In this case, it has no way to guarantee the transaction. fairness. This is why the data element market has not developed in the past few years. From the securities market, we can also clearly see that an exchange is an exchange, and a securities company is a securities company. There will be a very clear boundary between securities companies and listed companies. I think that the data element industry in the future will definitely have a division of labor It is becoming more and more clear, and the participants and subjects of the factor industry are becoming more and more abundant. But this definitely requires a process, it is not a one-step process, and a large number of investment opportunities are brewing in this process, including innovation opportunities in the industrial chain.
Judging from the data of the Shenzhen Data Exchange last year, our transaction volume last year reached 1.2 billion, and there were more than 500 participants. We have also classified data providers into three levels. We currently have three levels of data providers. Eight types of data providers and industrial division chains have been initially formed.
For example, assuming that the data resource itself is flour, data products are equivalent to desserts, bread, and cakes made from flour. In the past, the choices were limited, and customers might only be able to buy bread, but now, in addition to bread and cakes, there are also dumplings, ravioli, and pizza. There will be more and more choices. This is a possibility.
At the same time, the entire data service includes data cleaning, data governance, and data analysis, which are equivalent to bakers and pastry chefs. They can process data into various outputs. This is the provider of data services. In addition, there are Providers of data security and providers of data tools, these institutions are equivalent to the role of "pots and pans".
The development of the market will inevitably require the development of the entire chain, and it is certainly not possible to promote the development of the entire chain through a single development. The exchange actually provides a place for everyone to have more choices. In this way, in the process of product innovation, everyone will be richer and more convenient than before, thereby reducing the cost of the entire transaction.
At the same time, the exchange provides a credible environment. This credible environment is not only technical, but also rules-based. If a dispute or lawsuit arises, the exchange provides a channel for response, and this channel can respond to The market does some monitoring.
With each performing its duties and roles in place, the entire market will become more and more vibrant.
Gai Hongda: Let me ask you a question, does the Shenzhen Digital Exchange also encounter the cross-regional flow of data? How did you solve it?
Wang Guan: There are two main types of cross-domain data, one is domestic cross-domain, and the other is cross-border cross-domain. There are not many domestic cross-domain restrictions. For the 1.2 billion transaction volume of the Shenzhen Data Exchange last year, 76% occurred in cities outside Shenzhen. Data, like funds, has natural liquidity. It does not It must be done locally. The buyer, seller, and data provider are not in the same place. This situation is very normal. The country is also promoting the strategy of "counting from east to west", which shows that data resources are naturally unbalanced, and data crosses domains. Flow is also a common phenomenon in data element markets.
And there will be some trends. For example, data is mainly concentrated in first-tier cities with a relatively developed digital economy. Data buyers are mainly located in the Midwest or second- and third-tier cities. They will be more willing to buy some data from first-tier cities. To some extent, this has also been realized. A kind of data inclusiveness, which is also a way for data exchanges to assume circulation responsibilities.
At the same time, cross-domain mobility actually has many benefits. It can help the entire digital economy develop and create more GDP and jobs. Take Beijing as an example. Beijing's digital economy is very developed. You may not think of a city with a particularly developed digital economy around Beijing. But I went to Baoding recently. They are now vigorously developing the data service industry, such as doing some data labeling, data cleaning, and data storage. In fact, they are all for data transactions. They don’t have to be located in Beijing. If you are in the surrounding area, you can also do some corresponding empowerment, and its cost will be cheaper than in Beijing, so companies will be willing to put these data processing centers in other cities.
Cross-border flow of data is normal. Big data bureaus and data trading platforms in various places do not have the same role. Big data bureaus mainly manage and collect local public data, do some processing, do some productization, and empower local Some government services or public services, including the original health code for epidemic prevention.
There are many laws and regulations abroad, including EU GDPR, California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and other laws, which are being introduced one after another. There is no doubt that the current data export requirements in China should be the most stringent in the world. I think that on some levels, companies may be more worried about data compliance issues in China than data compliance issues for Chinese companies abroad. regulatory issues.
At present, China has made a lot of explorations in data compliance. For example, the European Union first establishes laws and regulations, and then conducts data circulation. The United States first conducts data circulation and then conducts rule governance. Many data-related laws and regulations are not as strict as China. China is different from the United States and Europe. It is governing while developing. The development of data elements is still relatively early, but some corresponding laws and regulations have been introduced. This is also the difference between China, Europe and the United States.
Last year, Shenzhen Data Institute also completed the country's first on-site cross-border data transaction, that is, domestic data was sold to foreign institutions, and some investment institutions in the United States or Hong Kong purchased some Chinese data products. Although it went abroad, the funds returned to the country, helping China create more opportunities for foreign exchange and trade services.
We completed this transaction in April 2022. In September, the security assessment and management measures for data export at the national level were promulgated. We also completely passed the security assessment review of the Central Cyberspace Administration of China, basically achieving compliance.
Data cross-border is quite complicated, because some of the current management regulations have not been smoothed out, including some rules on the classification and classification of data export at the national level, so many things are now relatively vague, and many companies have data export. Demand, there is no way to be released and satisfied now.
Therefore, we also help digital vendors realize that within a certain period of time, products that go abroad no longer need to go through safety assessment. The country is now helping to sort out and clarify the entire rules through some cases. In the future, local governments will also introduce some management methods related to data export to help optimize and simplify the entire procedure. However, at present, the approval authority for data exportation is still at the central government, and it takes time for everyone to explore how to improve the entire rules and systems.
At the same time, China is now actively striving for the right to speak in the formulation of some international rules, actively integrating with foreign countries, including the EU's data circulation technology, and some technical frameworks such as the data space IDSA are also implemented in China.
Our first priority is to promote more data compliance and safe circulation to meet some requirements of relevant national laws and regulations; the second is to cooperate with industry regulatory authorities to create some benchmark cases in individual fields. In fact, we still need a lot of learning space, and we need to find the boundary and direction through continuous trial and error.
Gai Hongda: Judging from the current scope of responsibilities of the National Data Administration, data security is an important development direction. When it comes to business development, what actions will you take? What do you think of data security governance in the development process?
Cheng Wenbo: Safety is the premise of development, and development is the guarantee of safety. In the process of data development, a very crucial point, to borrow a sentence from the Digital China planning document, is to build a credible and controllable digital security barrier. It also includes effectively maintaining network security, improving network security laws, regulations and policy systems, and at the same time enhancing data security protection capabilities, establishing a basic protection system for data classification and classification, and improving the work system for network data monitoring, early warning and emergency response.
From our point of view, whether it is data security or network security, it must be implemented from three aspects. Management, Technology and Operations respectively.
Management and data security Compared with traditional network security, the key point is that the protection object is more fine-grained from the original system dimension to the data dimension. From the data type, it can be divided into structured data and unstructured data. wait.
Data has a very key feature, that is, industry attributes, so we will see different industries, such as classification and grading. It is a classification and grading guide issued by different industries. Therefore, we also refer to the Network Data Security Management Regulations for comments. In the draft, we can also see the content and tendency of the regulatory level, industry authorities, etc. In our opinion, it must also be the network letter as the overall coordination and coordination of the industry authority responsible for supervision and inspection, because the data has a strong industry attribute, so the classification Classification guidelines are also issued by different industries, such as financial and operators.
At the same time, classification and grading are also a very critical and basic part of the project construction process. Security resources are always limited and resources are never enough. How to use limited resources to focus on important data, core data, The prerequisite for the protection of sensitive data is to be able to fully understand the situation of data assets in the current network environment, and to identify sensitive data and the distribution of sensitive data.
And in the management dimension, on the one hand, it is necessary to have data from a fine-grained dimension, such as document policies such as classification and grading guidelines, and at the macro level, such as data security management methods, personnel organization, and other related content.
The second point is technology. For example, database audit is an indispensable tool in the process of data security project construction. It can analyze database access operations through network traffic, and can have some built-in rules, whether it is early warning or follow-up Audit actions, establish a data security solution.
We believe that in the early stage of data security, network security is the basic guarantee. From fine-grained to data security, it can be understood in several dimensions, which includes this consulting plan. In the case of vague top-level planning and risk assessment insight, Anheng can Provide such services to help customers sort out the classification and grading specifications of their industry, and implement them through some automated tools.
The second is the trustworthiness between the access subject and the access object, and the subject and object. The access subject is often people and equipment, and the object of access protection is data. Our solution design is based on the principle of dual centers of identity and data. A zero-trust architecture has also been introduced to ensure the data security of our customers.
In addition, based on large-scale scenarios, such as the security in the data center management and control system and the security of the office network, such as the local big data bureau, its data comes from various departments and bureaus, and manages many sensitive data. Information and critical data, security is paramount. Thanks to the trust of the Hangzhou Municipal Data Resources Administration, as early as 3 years before the promulgation of the Data Security Law, the Hangzhou Municipal Data Resources Administration faced the need for data security earlier, so we found Anheng, and together we created a data authentication rights management platform.
For the construction of the data security management and control platform system, Anheng Information is one of the earliest manufacturers in China to invest. In addition to the data security of the management and control center, there are also data security solutions for the office network.
There is also a very critical scenario, which is the market circulation of data elements. Generally speaking, it can be divided into two types of scenarios. One type of scenario is a relatively controllable network environment. In a relatively controlled environment, classification, classification, desensitization, leak prevention, encryption, etc. are required.
There is also a large category of scenarios that are relatively uncontrollable network environments, where data needs to be provided directly to third parties, such as data transactions and data openness. At present, a consensus in the industry is that it is necessary to make usable and invisible, and the authorization of computing models is controllable. The foothold of technology lies in privacy computing.
The last big aspect, apart from management and technology, is operations. How to use a mechanism similar to the Deming cycle PDCA to continuously feed back, continuously improve, and continuously optimize security strategies to achieve normalization, persistence, and intelligence. Safe operation, combining management, technology, and operation to form a digital security barrier in a true sense, whether it is trading, opening, or circulation.
Wang Guan: Data security is definitely a very important capability of exchanges. We have also sorted out four major capabilities for data exchanges, namely circulation support, supply and demand connection, ecological development, and compliance assurance.
Security runs through the entire process, whether it is the data supply and demand matching process, transaction process, and circulation process, including the process of data storage and hosting, all need to use security. Moreover, data compliance and data security cannot be separated. Data security and data compliance are actually two necessary capabilities for data exchanges. We also released some standard rules on data security at the beginning of our establishment. Participated in the formulation of some standards at the national level, and now also clarified the management responsibilities of data security. At present, three parts of the security function have been dismantled, and one part is placed in the general department. It will take care of our site security, production security, etc., and information security. 1. Network security is mainly the responsibility of the technical department, and some security guarantees in the data circulation process, such as data compliance and security, are supported by the operation and compliance department.
Security work runs through the entire process, and there is no way to separate it from business. Data exchange is also a key information infrastructure, and it also needs to pass some requirements and verifications related to security. Now the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is also vigorously promoting DCMM and DSMM certification capability assessment . We hope to integrate some national certifications for data security into some of our management requirements for data vendors. In the next step, we will add relevant security capability requirements to the qualification review and certification of digital vendors. In the template standard contract, both parties to the data transaction will also add security clauses.
Song Shuyuan: In terms of data security, we must first ensure the security of the data infrastructure. We can see that the underlying technology and products of data security in my country are still "stuck". For a self-reliant digital technology innovation system, the data infrastructure must be an important part of digital technology.
The second part is the process security of data circulation. We also have a data here. From February 2022, the National Information Security Vulnerability Sharing Platform has coordinated and disposed of more than 2,000 vulnerability incidents involving key industries and important departments in our country.
In June last year, Northwestern Polytechnical University also issued an announcement stating that it was attacked by the US International Security Agency. This series of incidents fully demonstrates that the development of data should consider circulation and security as a whole.
The third part is system security. The two teachers also mentioned just now that a comprehensive security system should be established in the whole process of data elements, sort out the power and responsibility relationship of different links and departments in the process of data development and utilization, and clarify the boundaries of responsibilities.
Focusing on data security, China Electronics has two important products in its data security and data element engineering system, namely data components and data vaults. These two products can realize the scale of data elements on the premise of data security. circulation. A data element is a data set formed by several related fields as required after desensitizing the data, or a data feature formed by modeling key fields of the data. The data vault is an autonomous and controllable infrastructure led by the government and supervised by the competent authority. The data vault stores key data and data components.
The data vault and the Internet are physically separated, and what circulates on the Internet is a form of data components. At the same time, we will also build a corresponding organizational structure and system to ensure data security in an all-round way.
What is the key to data truly playing the role of production factor?
Gai Hongda: We talked about the significance of the establishment of the National Data Bureau, its impact on the industry, and security considerations. In the opinion of several people, data really plays a key role in production factors, or future hope Where is the place that can be built for a long time?
Wang Guan: The key is that it can really be applied. From data resources to data elements, then to data products, and then to data applications, every change in form marks a jump in its value. This kind of leap may not be a linear relationship, but may be an exponential growth relationship, especially when it is actually put into production applications, it can help traditional enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency, reduce R&D costs, such as increasing the success rate of large models and reducing trial and error cost and shorten the entire R&D cycle.
Its final output efficiency is also huge. Like ChatGPT, it can actually help enterprises, not only in terms of reducing labor costs, but more importantly, it can tap new business values and new business scenarios. For example, Microsoft is now using it in the office suite to make a productivity upgrade.
On the one hand, data needs to be applied, and on the other hand, it must be circulated. If the data is not circulated, there will be no way to form these applications.
The role of the data exchange is not just to sell A’s data to B’s side, but to take out all the data of ABC’s three parties to form a new product, which may then be sold to D, or taken away. Empower more scenarios, cultivate some high-frequency standardized trading scenarios and targets, and at the same time meet some needs that may not have existed in the market in the past, help them sort out their needs, and then develop some corresponding new types of data according to their needs Trading products greatly enriches the supply of the market, which is the role played in the circulation link.
Why can ABC be willing to take out the data? It is because there is a safe and compliant environment, as well as credible trading mechanisms and rules, that people feel that after data exchange and fusion, even if disputes arise, there will be a traceable opportunity and an arbitration environment. This is also a trading place that can Some of the service capabilities provided.
Going upstream may include the digital transformation of the enterprise itself. The data governance in the whole process, including data management, improvement of data capabilities, and aggregation of data resources, is also an opportunity for the enterprise itself to revaluate. Because once the data assets are included in the table, the original traditional data-based enterprises will face the process of valuation adjustment. Some data may be included in the inventory, and some data may be included in the intangible assets of the balance sheet. He can help the entire The company improves its own valuation space, and can even help him obtain some loans or some financial services at a lower cost, which can essentially help the company develop better.
In the whole process, from data governance to data circulation, to data application, the whole link is indispensable.
Song Shuyuan: We have a technical route, but we must also emphasize the role of the scene and the role of the system. Any one of these three functions alone cannot promote the large-scale circulation and application of data elements. Therefore, we believe that it is also necessary to build a three-dimensional engineering path integrating system, market and technology.
CEC has already applied it in many cities and industries across the country, and will select a number of provinces, cities and industries across the country for promotion and construction to serve my country's market-oriented allocation reform of data elements.
Cheng Wenbo: From the perspective of the big digital economy, we can divide it into industrial digitization, digital industrialization and digital value, which contains all aspects and key points.
