Shanghai No.2 Intermediate People’s Court held a trial in the first instance to hear the defendant Zhong Decai’s fund-raising fraud case.

  CCTV News:According to WeChat WeChat official account of Shanghai No.2 Intermediate People’s Court, on June 12th, the Shanghai No.2 Intermediate People’s Court held a trial in the first instance to hear the defendant Zhong Decai’s fund-raising fraud case.

  The public prosecutor accused that from November 2012 to March 2020, the defendant Zhong Decai actually controlled companies such as Shanghai Kaichen Industrial Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Kaichen Company) and illegally raised funds from unspecified public in the name of investing in nursing homes, renting old-age rooms, beds and providing old-age services. Among them, illegal fund-raising from 1917 fund-raising participants who have reported the case totaled RMB 761 million (the following currencies are all RMB). As of June 2020, there are still more than RMB 615 million in unpaid principal. From November 2015 to June 2020, the defendant Zhong Decai used Kaichen Company, Hangzhou Kaichao Pension Investment Management Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Huagu Pension Service Co., Ltd. and other companies involved to illegally raise more than 160 million yuan from the unspecified public, and there are still more than 145 million yuan in unpaid principal. From September 2016 to April 2019, the defendant Zhong Decai and others used Shanghai Fulekang Community Pension Service Co., Ltd. to illegally raise more than 363 million yuan from the unspecified public, and more than 166 million yuan of principal remained unpaid. The public prosecution agency believes that the defendant Zhong Decai used fraud to illegally raise funds for the purpose of illegal possession, and the amount was huge, so he should be investigated for criminal responsibility for the crime of fund-raising fraud. If Zhong Decai commits a new crime within the probation period of probation, his probation shall be revoked and several crimes shall be punished concurrently.

  During the trial, the public prosecution agency produced relevant evidence, and the litigation agent entrusted by the fund-raising participants expressed his opinions. The defendant Zhong Decai and his defenders expressed their opinions on the facts, charges and sentencing accused by the public prosecution agency.

  More than 30 representatives of fund-raising participants attended the trial.

  The Shanghai No.2 Intermediate People’s Court will decide the case in due course.

News analysis: ChatGPT, change and risk

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, February 13th  News analysis: ChatGPT, change and risk

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Peng Qian Huang Kun

  ChatGPT, the big language model of American artificial intelligence company OpenAI, has reached 100 million monthly active users in January about two months after its launch, making it the fastest growing consumer application in history. Relevant experts predict that ChatGPT is not only a breakthrough of a new generation of chat robots, but also will bring great changes to the information industry. However, the risks brought by it, such as academic fraud, technology abuse and public opinion security, cannot be ignored.

  The prototype of a new generation operating system platform

  Write imaginative poems in multiple languages, write operational programs, quickly generate abstracts of papers, automatically make data tables, correct grammar and expression errors in articles, and write a news summary of the week … … ChatGPT can not only understand many human problems and instructions, but also smoothly carry out many rounds of dialogue, and also show its ability to solve a variety of general problems in more and more fields.

  ChatGPT also easily passed some professional-level tests that are difficult for human beings: it recently passed the Google Code L3 (entry-level) engineer test; Passed the final exam of MBA in wharton school and the postgraduate exam of four courses in the University of Minnesota with B and C+ respectively; Passed the qualification examination of American medical practitioners … … The industry described its birth as an "iPhone moment" in the era of artificial intelligence, which means that artificial intelligence has ushered in a revolutionary turning point.

  "The success of ChatGPT should not only be regarded as a breakthrough of a new generation of chat robots, but also pay attention to the revolution it has brought to artificial intelligence and even the entire information industry." Huang Tiejun, dean of Beijing Zhiyuan Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, said in an exclusive interview that the past decade in the field of artificial intelligence was a decade of deep learning, but there was no outbreak of mobile Internet and cloud computing level in the industry as a whole. "The emergence of ChatGPT is epoch-making, and the big model +ChatGPT has formed the prototype of a new generation of operating system platform."

  Huang Tiejun said that ChatGPT adopted the route of "big data+big computing power+strong algorithm = big model" in the technical path, and explored a new paradigm in the direction of "basic big model+instruction fine-tuning", in which the basic big model is similar to the brain, and instruction fine-tuning is interactive training, and the combination of the two realizes language intelligence approaching human beings. ChatGPT applies the training mode of "reinforcement learning based on human feedback", and uses human preferences as a reward signal to train the model, which makes the model more and more consistent with human cognitive understanding mode.

  "This kind of AI can help human beings to make real creation, especially to help human beings improve their creative efficiency, such as improving the efficiency of obtaining information or putting forward novel ideas, and then people can solve their authenticity problems. The improvement of creative efficiency will have great benefits and various influences, which can change the world information pattern. " Chen Xiaoping, director of the Robotics Laboratory of China University of Science and Technology, told reporters.

  Initiate a new round of artificial intelligence technology competition

  The advent of ChatGPT is triggering a new round of science and technology competition in the field of artificial intelligence. In the early morning of February 8th, Beijing time, Microsoft launched the latest version of bing search engine and Edge browser supported by ChatGPT, and announced that it would "reshape search". All products such as Microsoft’s Office and Azure cloud services will be integrated with ChatGPT across the board.

  In the early morning of February 7th, Beijing time, Google also released Bard, the next generation dialogue AI system based on Google LaMDA model. On the same day, Baidu officially announced that the large-scale model project "ERNIE Bot" under development is scheduled to complete internal testing in March and then open to the public. China enterprises such as Alibaba and JD.COM also indicated that they are developing or planning to develop similar products.

  The global competition in the field of artificial intelligence big model has become increasingly fierce. Huang Tiejun believes that ChatGPT is expected to evolve into a new generation of operating system platform and ecology in the future. This change is similar to the transformation of mobile Internet from personal computer to mobile phone, and most of the computing load will be taken over by the new generation information infrastructure with big model as the core. This new paradigm will affect all levels from application to infrastructure, causing great changes in the whole industrial structure. The ecological dispute between the big model and its software and hardware support system will become the focus of the information industry in the next decade.

  It is worth noting that ChatGPT sometimes "talks nonsense in a serious way", and there are many problems such as factual errors, blind spots in knowledge and common sense deviations. It also faces the general risks of artificial intelligence such as compliance of training data sources, bias in data use, generation of false information and copyright disputes. Many world-renowned academic journals have updated their editorial guidelines, including that any large-scale language model tool will not be accepted as a signed author of research papers.

  "The signed author of an academic paper must meet at least two conditions. One is to make ‘ Substantive contribution ’ The second is to be able to bear relevant responsibilities. At present, these two conditions ChatGPT (and other AI systems) are not satisfied. " Chen Xiaoping said.

  ChatGPT also has the potential to be used in public opinion information warfare. The research team of McGill University in Canada used the previous generation model GPT-2 of ChatGPT to read about 5,000 articles about the COVID-19 epidemic broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and then asked it to generate "counterfactual news" about the crisis. Even OpenAI warns users who use ChatGPT that it "may occasionally generate incorrect information" and "generate harmful instructions or biased content".

  "In order to solve these problems, we need to control the application boundary of ChatGPT while developing technology, establish the management regulations for the content generated by artificial intelligence, and evade the use of artificial intelligence to generate and disseminate false and bad content. At the same time, strengthen the development of governance tools and identify the content generated by artificial intelligence through technical means. This is an important prerequisite for content detection and work confirmation. " Tang Jiayu, vice president of Beijing Ruilai Smart Technology Co., Ltd. said.

If the inspection team changes, the inspection team will go straight to the sewage! How to change "two faces"

  CCTV News:Recently, the first round of coordinated and strengthened supervision by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment was launched in 25 provinces across the country in 2019. In the first round of supervision this year, the treatment of urban black and odorous water bodies is the top priority. However, during the unannounced visit, the reporter found that in some places, when the expert group inspected, pollution control was normal, and when the expert group left, there was a situation in which sewage was directly discharged and environmental protection facilities were ineffective; In other places, there are strange scenes of pollution control and sewage discharge.

  According to the requirements of the central government, 2019 is the "year of burden reduction at the grassroots level". The Ministry of Ecology and Environment has also greatly adjusted the way of environmental supervision, inspection and assessment, reducing the original 27 supervision, inspection and assessment to two, and coordinating key tasks in the tough battle of pollution prevention and control to reduce local interference.

  The process of environmental supervision is simplified, how can the effect be strengthened? How to establish a long-term mechanism for environmental protection?

  Why are there "two faces" in environmental protection rectification?

  Liu Ge: There are two kinds of mentality behind the "two faces"

   Liu Ge, financial commentator of CCTV: At the moment when environmental protection has become a consensus, this phenomenon should be more based on the luck of hiding the sky and crossing the sea, and the helplessness of being unable to do so.

  Why do you say that? Nowadays, many places can see very beautiful sewage treatment plants, which are very modern and have a good treatment level. However, it is very likely that the urban sewage discharge pipe network still owes a lot of money. When it is inspected, it will not be discharged. When it is not inspected, those who are unable to collect the sewage from the sewage treatment plant will still be the same. Behind the cover-up, there is also a lack of ability, because there is really no ability to support, and the operation also costs money. But in any case, you can’t have two faces. This is a matter of principle.

  How to establish a long-term mechanism for environmental protection governance?

  Chang Jiwen: Striving for Progress in Stability and Strengthening Infrastructure Construction

   Chang Jiwen, Deputy Director of the Institute of Resources and Environment Protection of the State Council Development Research Center: The Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group looked back at the feedback some time ago. The construction of sewage treatment facilities and sewage pipe network in the central and western regions was seriously in debt, and sewage treatment was a small-profit industry, so social capital was unwilling to enter. This short board must be filled.

  In addition, there are some compulsory means besides lack of money. For example, we say garbage sorting. If sanitation agencies collect garbage and put the garbage sorted by ordinary people together, it will be severely punished. Many key tasks of environmental protection before the end of 2020, including the construction of rural sewage facilities, the diversion of rain and sewage, and the improvement of sewage treatment rate, need to be solved by paying equal attention to supervision and investment.

  Liu Ge: Environmental protection governance needs to broaden the financial path.

  Liu Ge, financial commentator of CCTV: Supervision needs a long-term mechanism. We can’t have so many inspectors who go to places one by one, look along the river and check along the road. This requires a new mechanism, including the use of technical means, such as combining the Internet of Things with environmental monitoring, and each sewage outlet has sufficient monitoring facilities.

  But this is the same as the infrastructure debt of pollution control, and it needs money. For a long time, our pollution control has mainly relied on finance, perhaps supplemented by some special funds and sewage charges, but for many places, it is not enough to solve the problem, so many places are also trying more market-oriented business models.

  Chang Jiwen: Protecting the environment requires strategic determination and should not be relaxed.

  Chang Jiwen, Deputy Director of the Institute of Resources and Environment of the State Council Development Research Center: This year is the year of reducing the burden at the grassroots level, but the simplification of the process of environmental protection supervision does not mean loosening the requirements of environmental protection, but optimizing the supervision mode, so that the local authorities can carry out systematic pollution control through comprehensive supervision.

  The ultimate goal is to strengthen their strategic strength, bite the bullet and not relax.

  Liu Ge: Protecting the environment is a great undertaking for a thousand years, which requires wisdom and patience.

  Liu Ge, financial commentator of CCTV: In the stage of tackling key environmental problems, wisdom is especially needed. For example, a financial mechanism may not be able to raise enough funds, so we need to find a new mechanism.

  In the longer term, some illegal industries can be closed, and some long-term pollution may be inevitable in the development, which requires more patience. In the case that it is impossible to tackle the problem overnight, we can finally solve it by setting the overall goal, scientifically setting the timetable and road map.
