The Press Office of the State Council, China held a press conference on "Accelerating the Construction of a Cultural Power and Promoting the High-quality Development of Culture and Tourism" in Beijing on the 14th.

Lu Yingchuan introduced that the Ministry of Culture and Tourism has strengthened the guidance and support of stage art and art creation, implemented a series of art creation projects in the new era, and organized the exhibition of outstanding plays of stage art, fine art exhibitions and other activities. In the first 11 months of this year, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism hosted 27 exhibitions, with 900,000 offline audiences and over 1.8 billion online viewers. A number of stage art works that show Chinese aesthetic style and are full of distinctive flavor of the times, such as dance drama Wing Chun, Cavalry, Yue Opera Xinlongmen Inn, and national opera Daughter of the Party, have been generally welcomed and praised.

The Ministry of Culture and Tourism promotes the improvement and efficiency of the urban and rural public cultural service system, builds a new public cultural space, develops digital public cultural services, innovatively implements cultural projects that benefit the people, and holds mass cultural activities such as "Village Evening" and square dance performances. By improving cultural and economic policies, implementing the strategy of driving major cultural industry projects, actively cultivating new formats and models, launching a series of consumption promotion activities, and carrying out special rectification such as performance ticketing and script entertainment, the cultural industry has achieved rapid growth.

Walking along the blue coast of South France, Yuan Qi came across an antique motorcycle jacket, and Cui Jian’s music just sounded in his ear, so the old memories of old Beijing were passed on in the texture and texture of second-hand clothes. The creative director and founder of BUERLANGMA (RYZYORYUAN) believes that the concept of circular wardrobe can give sustainable responsibility and feelings to the whole fashion industry chain.

He shared this view at the "Forces of Fashion". It is reported that since 2016, the event has been held in London, new york and other places, and it has become an annual event in the fashion industry that brings together creative pioneers, artistic talents, industry elites and cutting-edge topics. This year’s agenda and discussion have added sustainable issues.

The concept of sustainability implied by ancient culture just responds to the waste of fashion design industry. According to the data of China Resources Comprehensive Utilization Association, about 26 million tons of old clothes are discarded every year, which is expected to reach 50 million tons by 2030, with a recycling rate of less than 1%. According to the report of The New York Times, about 15%-20% of the cloth in the production process of clothing is wasted because it has not been "actuarial" and designed, and countless discarded fabrics are finally thrown into landfills.

In this grand event, besides exploring the resource recycling model, the discussion around "sustainable fashion" has also contributed more views from different dimensions. An obvious trend is that "sustainability" is becoming one of the important labels of the whole fashion design industry.

"The use of second-hand clothing can prolong the service life of clothing, reduce the burden of consumption purchase and production for the society to a certain extent, and contribute to the rational allocation of resources and environmental protection. It is a sustainable market circulation model." A researcher from the energy group of an international environmental protection organization told Wall Street that this model reduced the negative externalities caused by commodities to the environment.

According to what Wall Street has learned, second-hand clothing is divided into different value types according to factors such as time and usage, among which retro clothing is the most representative. Retro is to lead the new fashion through the elements of the old times, while retro clothing refers to the presentation of design elements in a certain historical period in today’s clothing products, full of nostalgia and classic style; At the same time, it also represents a generally recognized product concept, that is, fashionable products with a certain style produced during the 1920s to 1980s, which are called "Vintage" and "antique".

This natural integration of fashion style and sustainable concept provides a model worthy of reference for sustainable fashion. At present, the restoration of ecological resources has become a hot topic, and the meaning of sustainable clothing design as an effective strategy to solve this problem has also expanded to a deeper distance.

"Different from the traditional clothing development and production mode, sustainable clothing design not only pursues the aesthetics and comfort of clothing, but also takes the benign development of ecological environment as the most basic purpose, carries out scientific design practice from a systematic and long-term perspective, reduces a large number of energy and resource consumption caused by overproduction and over-packaging, reduces the generation and discharge of a large number of pollutants such as waste water and waste during production and transportation, and highlights the value connotation of ecological environment in all links." An insider who has been tracking and observing the green transformation of the fashion industry for a long time told Wall Street what he saw and heard at the scene.

According to Mackenzie’s "The Fashion on Climate" report, taking textiles as an example, at present, less than 1% of textile waste is recycled to make new products. Therefore, as far as the current market share is concerned, the proportion of fashion sustainable goods is still not high, and many brands still have a lot of room for improvement in the research and development and application of sustainable materials.

GFA organization pointed out that based on the continuous improvement and maturity of technologies such as recycling, the fashion industry should achieve 80% recycling of resources in 2030, which will require enterprises to focus on exploring the resource recycling model and increase investment in new technologies such as recycling technology. On-the-spot view also believes that the effective link of fashion, natural resources and environmental protection will be the key to realize this responsible vision.

The definition of fashion industry by the United Nations Sustainable Fashion Alliance includes the whole process from the extraction of raw materials to the end of the product life cycle, which also includes the recycling elements of material reuse, repair/reuse and recycling.

Redesign of existing waste fabrics, such as "fabric recycling", changes the original appearance of fabrics through artistic design techniques such as folding, folding, weaving, shrinking and stacking, giving them a unique texture and texture, and innovative design concepts of carbon neutrality, such as green chemistry, green synthesis and plastic recycling, have also appeared in this brainstorming of fashion.

At the grand event, from the contemporary design of China in MARKGONG’s futuristic fashion, which was mentioned by actor Chen Bige, to the minimalism of modernism aesthetics that influenced Proenza Schouler, and the concern about the situation of multi-groups caused by a photo, it was shown that fashion, as an aesthetic or trend in a specific period, designed life from multiple dimensions-how to shape self-image and lifestyle. What kind of work and social circle to choose, or even what kind of values to follow, are closely related to the leading power of fashion culture.

However, academic research has found that under the background of post-epidemic era, the concept of consumption has been remolded, and the concept of environmental protection and spiritual needs have become its important value shift. Modern people pursue higher emotional needs such as beauty and fashion, show their individuality and seek green environmental protection. The design with the label of "temperature and feelings" can arouse emotional resonance, and the design thinking has changed from traditional material-oriented to emotional-oriented, and the material design has gradually changed to service-oriented design.

Sustainable design is a thinking mode that considers economic, environmental, moral and social issues in a balanced way. It is intended to think about design itself, guide and meet consumer demand, and it is a practical process of deep thinking on the relationship between human development and environmental issues and continuous seeking for change in the design field, emphasizing the organic combination of "man-machine-environment".

According to the analysis of on-site industry insiders, after accurately focusing and subdividing the audience, it should be an important value orientation of sustainable fashion to build the context of their emotional needs, and convey the spiritual and cultural value connotation through sustainable design symbols.When the designer indirectly conveys the sustainable ideas and intentions such as environmental protection, recycling and low-carbon life to the audience through "redesign", consumers reach the design ideas conveyed by the designer by understanding the "story" behind them, which then causes emotional resonance and precipitates unique culture and brand symbols.

Get the magic of making a knife beautiful without moving it

Every reporter: Wang Ziwei

In 2022, it became a watershed for new brands. Brands that survived the cold winter of capital and the pain of transformation survived, while those that could not survive gradually disappeared in the wave of the market. It is no exception for beauty brands.

Recently, Vipshop released "Hot Search List of Beauty Cosmetics in 2022" (hereinafter referred to as "Hot Search List"). The list shows that in 2022, consumers are price-sensitive, and "cost-effective" and "flat replacement" have become the consumption keywords of young consumers this year.

This year can be described as two days of ice and fire for beauty brands.

From the perspective of the consumer market, beauty is still a big category favored by consumers. According to public data, during Tmall double 11 in 2022, the sales of beauty products and personal care products reached 42 billion yuan, with sales exceeding 200 million pieces. Among them, the GMV of Top5 brand exceeded 1.3 billion, and the sales of TOP20 brand exceeded 19.1 billion yuan.

Vipshop platform, the overall sales volume of beauty products increased by 58.8% year-on-year in 2022; In the live broadcast room in Li Jiaqi, double 11, domestic brands such as Polaiya, Youshiyan, Kuadi and one by one are sold out.

At the same time, it should also be noted that in the field of beauty cosmetics, players in collection stores are also experiencing a "cold wave", and related brands have shrunk their fronts to varying degrees; In addition, the listed new brands have also encountered a roller coaster of market value: after the listing of Perfect Diary, the market value has evaporated by hundreds of billions.

In this case of "ice and fire", there are many people in the industry who look at the domestic beauty market. The industry believes that the gradual development of domestic consumers’ aesthetics has actually brought new opportunities to new brands of domestic products. In this context, European and American giants began to set up investment companies, deeply rooted in the China market, and had firm confidence in the market. Domestic enterprises also "bought luxury goods" abroad.

Beauty consumers in 2022 are more sensitive to price. According to the statistics of Hot Search List, in the current challenging economic environment, many consumers’ ideas have changed and become more rational and pragmatic, and the popularity of search terms such as "cost performance" and "flat replacement" remains high.

In this context, the trend of domestic products and cutting-edge brands with obvious cost-effective advantages ushered in the "market year". On the platform of Vipshop, the sales of brands such as Ximuyuan, Zhuben, Grain Rain and Yeast Color doubled.

"Hot Search List" shows that functional skin care is also a highlight of the beauty market in 2022. According to the annual search data of Vipshop, hyaluronic acid, salicylic acid and nicotinamide became the three hottest beauty ingredients in 2022, followed by Centella asiatica, 377, VC, astaxanthin and alcohol A.

In the White Paper on New Consumption in China in 2022, Yang Boya, the founder of Half-One, said in an exclusive interview that users in China have their own unique aesthetics on good skin condition, which means that users in China have a clear localization trend on their ideal good skin condition.

This trend is also reflected in the field of makeup. "Hot Search List" shows that "pseudo-plain face" and "atmosphere" are the mainstream trends of makeup in Vipshop’s 2022 station.

In addition, thanks to the vigorous rise of outdoor activities, the concept of year-round sun protection is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Vipshop data also shows that in 2022, compared with buying hair and body care products, young people of generation Z after 90 and 95 are more willing to spend money on sun protection.

The "roller coaster" experience of Perfect Diary’s parent company, Yixian E-commerce (YSG.US, USD 1.47/share, with a total market value of USD 822 million) in the US stock market has not scared off domestic brands, and listing is still the choice of domestic beauty brands. According to incomplete statistics of the media, since 2020, 19 domestic beauty-related enterprises have gone public.

On December 22nd, Shanghai Shangmei Cosmetics Co., Ltd., the parent company of domestic beauty brand Kanshu, was officially listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, becoming the "first domestic beauty stock of Hong Kong stocks".

In addition, some brands have begun to acquire international brands to supplement their product lines. In July 2022, Shuiyang announced that it planned to acquire 90.05% equity and some creditor’s rights of the parent company of EviDenS de Beauté, a French high-end cosmetics brand, for about 337 million yuan.

This is not a case. According to the incomplete statistics of the beauty media "Qingyan", since 2018, seven companies including Yixian E-commerce, Gaolang and Polaiya have established capital ties with foreign beauty brands and companies through investment and acquisition, and established corresponding industrial funds.

Although it is a world of ice and fire, the impact of new brands on foreign brands has made international brands feel pain. It has become the choice of many international brands to tap new domestic brands and share a piece of China makeup market.

The obvious signal is that in May this year, two American giants, L ‘Oreal and Shiseido, successively set up investment funds in China.

According to the enterprise survey data, on May 5th, L ‘Oré al held 100% shares in Shanghai Meifang Business Consulting Co., Ltd. and 100% shares in Shanghai Meifang Investment Co., Ltd., which was the first company established by L ‘Oré al in China market with a registered capital of 100 million RMB, and was committed to investing in innovative beauty technology.

In the same month, Shiseido also established the first entity of China investment fund "Ziyue Fund", and Xiamen Ziyue Equity Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership) was incorporated, with a capital contribution of RMB 501 million, of which Shiseido (China) Investment Co., Ltd. contributed 98.0%.

According to public information, the above-mentioned beauty companies have laid out a big health track in a deep or shallow way, focusing on technologies related to dermatology. Among them, Ziyue has made frequent efforts in oral beauty and medical beauty tracks, and Meifang has also made efforts in the local perfume market in China, investing in new domestic brands such as Wenxian.

With the maturity and optimization of China’s beauty market in terms of channels, brands and supply chains, foreign-funded enterprises are no longer blindly buying local brands or independently developing new brands, but making commercial investments in a more flexible way.

The eighth round of the Chinese Super League has started, but the news that Sun Zhuohao was detained by the police is still hotly debated. After all, he is also the first foreign player suspected of illegal activities in China football. Midfielder of Shandong Taishan Team, an active super league giant. First of all, it is certain that Sun Zhuohao’s career as a football player in China is completely over. Even if his last problem was minor and he was sentenced to several months’ detention, he would be rejected by domestic clubs and let a person play for at least five years.

Before Sun Zhuohao’s lawsuit is finally pronounced, Taishan Club will cancel the contract with him in advance and stand on the player’s side. Sun Junhao has just celebrated his 31st birthday. Although his career is usually short, it may be difficult for him to hold a steady position in Korean football, so he is basically the midfielder of Taishan team, and the outfielder might as well declare the end. My career.

You can also see Sun Junhao’s social media trends before his arrest. His social media is still public, because he has to make it public or private. Not only can many people view it, but you can also send him a message on holiday dynamics. After Sun Junhao’s accident, the latest news about his son and daughter was filled with angry messages from Korean fans. They expressed their disappointment with Sun Junhao, and angered that anyone who went to China to play football in the future would not be selected for the national team. While being bullied on the Internet, some fans are worried about his current situation and wish him an early and safe return.

Cyberbullying by Korean fans, such as "If you go to China to play football, don’t be selected for the national team", is obviously discriminatory, attacking not only Sun Junhao but also China football. It can be seen that Korean fans think that playing football in China is not only a career decline, but also influenced by the match-fixing environment in China League, but this view is obviously wrong. "Come to the domestic league, it doesn’t matter. There are still many China players who focus on football itself. Don’t blame your problems on the league."

It is worth mentioning that K-League match-fixing is rampant, more than Super League. "Korean fans can defend Sun Junhao, but they can’t blame others for their problems. Many Korean foreign AIDS have come to play in the Super League, and now Kim Min-jae, the first central defender in Asia, is also playing. " Super League, why can’t you check if there is no problem? Moreover, according to Korean fans, does this mean that Min-jae Kim will no longer need to join the national team? The essence of players is the same. No matter which country the players are in, there will always be players who seek profit first.

On May 20th, Beijing time, on this special day, Tottenham fans were not happy, because the team they supported suffered a 3-1 reversal in brentford at the home of this Premier League, which was their third defeat in the last four rounds of the Premier League. In the past seven rounds of the Premier League, they only won one game, which was enough to make fans despair.

Prior to this, in the past month, Tottenham only defeated Crystal Palace. Against rivals such as Bournemouth, Newcastle, Manchester United, Liverpool and Villa, Tottenham was 4 losses and 1 draw. This round of home game against brentford, Tottenham suffered another defeat, and the team was basically desperate for the sixth place.

In this game, Tottenham had made a fantastic start. In just 8 minutes, Tottenham got a free kick in the frontcourt, and his teammate stepped on the ball in front of Kane. He took advantage of the situation and blew out a world wave. The ball went straight to the corner of the door and Tottenham led the opponent 1-0.

In the first half, Tottenham basically controlled the situation on the court and gave brentford no chance. However, after the start of the second half, the situation on the field changed suddenly. Brentford stepped up their counter-attack, and they soon equalized the score. In the 50 th minute, Mbemo caught the ball in the frontcourt, then cut the foot and finally volleyed the goal, and the score became 1-1.

After the equaliser, the visiting team’s morale was greatly boosted, while Tottenham was completely stunned. In the 62nd minute, Kane was intercepted in the midfield, and then brentford counterattacked. Mbemo inserted the ball in front of the expressway, then pushed it from a small angle and scored the ball in the far corner. The score on the field became 1-2, and the away game miraculously overtook the score. After that, Tottenham’s attack was disorganized. Not only did they fail to equalize the score, but they were robbed by mistakes before the end, and finally suffered a 3-1 defeat and had to lose the last home game of the season.

After 1-3, Tottenham was 1 point behind Brighton, the sixth place, in the case of two more games. This result is basically certain that Tottenham failed to compete for six games this season and missed the Europa League next season. In fact, Tottenham may not even be able to keep the seventh place, and this season is doomed to failure.

For Kane, this result is really hurtful. Together with the goal of this game, he has scored 28 goals in the Premier League this season. If it weren’t for Harland’s fate, Kane would get the Golden Boot in the Premier League again this season. However, even if Kane is so brave, let alone win the league championship. Tottenham can’t even win the top six in the Premier League, and the League Cup and the FA Cup are also missed. The English superstar continues to win the championship.

Since there is only one year left in his contract with Tottenham Hotspur, Kane will reconsider his future this summer. If he chooses to stay, it will undoubtedly be a story in football, but even if Kane decides to leave in order to win the championship, I believe some Tottenham fans will understand.

In the Premier League, Manchester United have always wanted Kane. They lack a center with stable goals, and Kane is the perfect candidate in Tenghage’s mind. With the help of Fernandez, Rachford and casemiro, Kane will have the opportunity to compete for various championships when he joins Manchester United. He and Manchester United are definitely mutual achievements, and then it depends on his own decision. In order to get Kane, Manchester United is absolutely willing to meet Levi’s asking price (worth up to 100 million pounds). As long as the superstar nods, Manchester United is expected to take him away, which is likely to be a transfer that changes the pattern of the Premier League.

After losing Kane, Tottenham will be completely rebuilt, and it will be difficult for them to compete for the fourth place in a short time, while Manchester United will greatly increase its strength and is expected to compete with Manchester City for the championship next season!

Two years ago in the summer, Pedro moved from Rome to Lazio, rewriting the history that two bitter rivals in the same city had no direct player transactions for 40 years. Pedro’s transfer to Lazio coincided with the arrival of madman Mourinho in Rome. At that time, Pedro had a three-year contract with Rome, and he was able to cancel the contract successfully, largely because Mourinho did not intend to include Pedro in his lineup.

After joining Lazio, Pedro played 40 times in two consecutive seasons and helped the team win the Europa League. After the end of this season, his contract with Lazio officially expired. At that time, he will be 36 years old. It is difficult for players of this age to stay in the five major leagues. Of course, Pedro doesn’t worry about leaving home. After all, others have played in Barcelona and won three Champions League titles and five La Liga titles.

According to the Italian Evening Post, in March this year, Pedro received an offer from the Japanese J-League team, and Kobe Victory Ship and Yokohama Sailors were competing for the former Barcelona main midfielder. In addition, at the beginning of May, a Saudi League team also came to Italy to meet Pedro’s agent team. If the player himself can’t find a suitable job in Europe, the Saudi League always welcomes him to join.

At present, the outside world only knows that Pedro’s contract with Lazio is about to expire, but the season is not over yet, and Pedro may stay in Europe until the end of the summer window. According to Lazio’s team reporter, on the one hand, Pedro himself has not made up his mind to play in Asia, on the other hand, Lazio also wants to renew his contract, and the club’s top management is discussing with Pedro’s agent the appropriate salary plan.

Lazio is currently ranked fourth in Serie A and is likely to return to the Champions League after two years. Pedro has played for Barcelona and Chelsea for many years and has rich experience in the Champions League, which is why Lazio wants to renew his contract. In the past two years, Pedro has been an indispensable member of Lazio’s midfield. Instead of spending money on new players, it is better to use experienced acquaintances. Therefore, Lazio must negotiate a contract renewal with Pedro before the summer window.

Generative AI is getting more and more popular. Is this really a good business?

Recently, AI painting is on fire.

By inputting some words, AI can generate an image that matches the words in a few seconds. These images are wild, and some are even bizarre. For example, people have extra fingers on their hands, and their fingers bend unnaturally. Even, AI can generate some meaningless billboards and alphabets that humans have never seen before.

Although AI painting is outrageous, it has set off a wave of science and technology: the spring of generative AI has come.

David Beisel, a venture capitalist at NextView Ventures, said that in the past three months, the word "generative AI" once became a hot word. Moreover, the generative AI technology has developed rapidly and the market enthusiasm is so high that many people even quit their jobs to start a business in this field.

There is no doubt that AI has been in a prosperous stage in the past five years or so, but most of these past advances have to do with understanding the existing data-for example, the AI model has been able to quickly and efficiently identify whether there are only cats in your mobile phone photos. However, the generative AI model generates something completely new that has never been seen before. In other words, generative AI is not just about analyzing existing data, but creating.

Boris Dayma, founder of Craiyon generative AI, believes that "generative AI is not only creating old images, but also creating many new things, which are completely different from what we have seen before."

Sequoia Capital also said in a blog post on its website: "Generative AI has the potential to create trillions of dollars in economic value." Sequoia Capital predicts that generative AI may change all industries that require human beings to create original works, from games to advertising to the legal profession. It is worth mentioning that Sequoia Capital also pointed out in its blog post that this message was partly written by GPT-3 (GPT-3 is a generative AI capable of generating text).

Working principle of generative AI

In the past, deep learning technology was widely used to train the model on large data sets. When the program understands the relationships in these data, the model can be applied to actual scenes, such as identifying whether there is a dog in a picture or translating text, and so on.

The working principle of the image generator is to reverse this process. For example, instead of translating English into French, it translates English phrases into images. Specifically, it usually has two main parts, one is to process initial phrases, and the other is to convert data into images.

At first, generative AI was based on a method called GAN, that is, the generative adversarial network. In essence, this method is to make two artificial intelligence models compete with each other to better create images that meet the target.

At present, generative AI is usually based on Transformer, such as image generator DALL-E and so on. DALL-E was first created by OpenAI in 2021, and in 2022, OpenAI released DALL-E 2.

Christian Cantrell, a developer who focuses on generative AI, said: "With DALL-E 2, we can really cross uncanny valley." (The Valley of Terror theory is a hypothesis about human perception of robots and non-human objects. It was put forward by Japanese robot expert Masahiro Mori in 1970. )

Another commonly used AI-based image generator is Craiyon (formerly known as DALL-E Mini), where users can enter phrases in the browser and see the illustrations it generates within a few minutes.

According to Dayma, since its launch in July 2021, Craiyon has produced about 10 million unprecedented pictures every day, which adds up to 1 billion. Earlier this year, the use of Crayon soared, and Dayma also took Crayon as its full-time job. In addition, Dayma has created a Twitter account to post the weirdest and most creative pictures generated by Craiyon. For example, ketchup comes out of the tap on the Italian sink.

In addition, Stable Diffusion has also received wide attention. The project was released in August this year and has been open source on GitHub. Developers can run the project on computers, not just in the cloud or through programming interfaces. For example, Stable Diffusion can be integrated into Adobe Photoshop by plug-in, allowing users to generate backgrounds and other parts of images, and use layers and other Photoshop tools to operate in applications.

Cantrell, the developer of the plug-in, said, "I want to meet these creative professionals, so that they can introduce artificial intelligence into their creative work, instead of destroying their work."

It is understood that Cantrell has worked for Adobe for 20 years. After leaving in 2022, Cantrell focused on the direction of generative AI. Cantrell said that Stable Diffusion has been downloaded tens of thousands of times, and artists told him that they used this plug-in in many unexpected places, such as making Godzilla animation or creating pictures of Spider-Man.

Start-up companies get together

Some investors regard generative AI as a potentially transformative change, just like the early development of smart phones or the Internet. This kind of transformation has greatly expanded the potential market of this technology.

"Before that, artificial intelligence was not unprecedented. Before 2007, we were not without mobile devices, "said Beisel, a seed investor." But at this moment, everything came together. The final consumer can experience and see something different from before. "

Cantrell believes that machine learning is similar to a more basic technology: database. "Machine learning is a bit like a database, which opens up a whole new world for network applications. All the applications we have used in our life are built on the database. But no one cares about how the database works. People only know how to use it. "

Michael Dempsey, managing partner of Compound VC, said that in the past, it was "very rare" for laboratory technology to enter the mainstream, but at present, generative AI has attracted wide attention of venture capitalists. Nevertheless, he warned that the current generative AI may be in the "curious stage" near the peak of the hype cycle, and the companies established at this stage may fail because they don’t focus on the specific uses that enterprises or consumers are willing to pay for.

Others in the industry believe that startups that can apply new technologies such as generative AI today may challenge technology giants such as Google, Meta and Microsoft in the future.

At present, many companies applying generative AI technology have already received large amount of financing, and their valuations have also risen. For example, earlier this year, Hugging Face was valued at $2 billion after receiving investments including Lux Capital and Sequoia Capital; OpenAI has also received more than $1 billion from Microsoft and Khosla Ventures.

In addition, according to Forbes, Stability AI, the developer of Stable Diffusion, is negotiating with investment institutions to raise up to $1 billion in venture capital.

Cloud vendors and chip vendors will benefit.

Besides start-ups, cloud service providers such as Amazon, Microsoft and Google can also benefit from it, because generative AI may require a huge amount of computation.

Meta and Google have also taken action and started recruiting talents. In September of this year, Meta released an artificial intelligence application called "Make-A-Video", which can generate videos, which makes the generative AI technology a step further.

"This is a great progress," Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, posted on his Facebook page. "It is much more difficult to generate videos than photos, because besides correctly generating each pixel, the system must also predict how they will change over time."

Recently, Google matched with Meta and released a program code called Phenaki, which can also convert text into video and generate several minutes of footage.

This craze may also boost chip manufacturers such as Nvidia, AMD and Intel, because the advanced graphics processors produced by these companies are ideal for training and deploying artificial intelligence models.

At a recent meeting, Huang Renxun, CEO of Nvidia, emphasized that generative AI is the key use of the company’s latest chip, and he said that this kind of program may "revolutionize communication" soon.

At present, there are not many uses of generative AI that can generate commercial benefits. Many exciting breakthroughs today come from free or low-cost experiments. For example, some writers have tried to use image generator to generate images for articles. An example of Nvidia is to use a model to generate new 3D images, including people, animals, vehicles or furniture, which can be filled into the virtual game world.

Ethical issues can not be ignored.

While generating AI excites the industry, the ethical issues it brings are also worthy of attention.

The first is employment. Compared with professional illustrators, generative AI is obviously cheaper. Therefore, generative AI is likely to rob artists, video producers and other people engaged in creative work of their "rice bowls".

In addition, there are complex problems in originality and ownership of the content created by generative AI.

Generated AI is trained on a large number of images. Therefore, it is still controversial whether the creator of the original image has copyright requirements for the generated new image.

Some time ago, an artist won an art competition in Colorado, and his winning image was created by a generative AI named MidJourney. After winning, the artist said in an interview that he selected one image from hundreds of images generated by himself and post-processed it in Photoshop.

It is worth mentioning that some images generated by Stable Diffusion are watermarked, which indicates that some of the original data sets are copyrighted. Previously, Getty Images (a picture trading company based in Seattle, USA) announced that it was forbidden for users to upload generated AI pictures to its picture library, because the company was worried that there might be some copyright problems in such pictures. .

With the improvement of image generation software, generative AI may also deceive users, make them believe false information, or display images or videos of events that never happened.

In addition, developers must also deal with the possibility that models trained on a large amount of data may have biases related to gender, race or culture contained in the data, which may cause the models to show such biases in their outputs.
