  On the morning of the 3rd, the 4th world internet conference opened in Wuzhen. In his opening speech, Ma Yun, Chairman of Alibaba’s Board of Directors, said that it is better to take responsibility for the digital economy and cyberspace than to worry about it.

  "If the Internet in the past 20 years ‘ From scratch ’ Then in the next 30 years, the Internet will ‘ From nothing to nothing ’ , this ‘ None ’ Yes ‘ Everywhere ’ ‘ None ’ No one can exist without the network. " On the morning of the 3rd, the 4th world internet conference opened in Wuzhen. In his opening speech, Ma Yun, Chairman of Alibaba’s Board of Directors, said that it is better to take responsibility for the digital economy and cyberspace than to worry about it.

  In his speech, Ma Yun proposed to the Internet entrepreneurs in the audience: Today’s Internet companies are the darlings of the times, and they have gained unprecedented opportunities and wealth, but more importantly, they should bear great responsibilities that they have never encountered. Therefore, Internet companies should win the market by continuous innovation and win respect by taking responsibility, sharing and inclusiveness.

  Ma Yun said that the Internet is penetrating into all aspects of society, and the influence of the Internet technological revolution may exceed the sum of all technological revolutions in the past. "In the next 30 years, data will become means of production, computing will be productivity, and the Internet will become a production relationship. If we don’t digitize and connect to the Internet, it will be even more terrible than not having electricity in the past 30 years. "

  This is Ma Yun’s fourth consecutive visit to world internet conference. Every time he shares his views and thoughts at the meeting, it will attract great attention from the Internet industry.

  With the development of internet technology, in recent years, there is a global concern about new technologies, that machines will take away people’s job opportunities, that machines will control people, and that people will be destroyed in their greatest inventions.

  "The new technology is not to make people unemployed, but to make people do more valuable things, to make people not repeat themselves, but to innovate and make people’s work evolve." For example, Ma Yun said that during the Qing Dynasty, when railways appeared, people boycotted railways, fearing that porters along the line would lose their jobs and affect social stability, but now there are more than 2 million railway workers; After the container appeared, porters were worried that they would lose their jobs, but there were many crane workers in the port.

  Ma Yun once again stressed that instead of worrying about technology taking away employment, it is better to embrace technology and solve new problems. Human beings have unique creativity, so they should have confidence, and it is impossible for machines to surpass human beings.

  Talking about the impact of the Internet on the world economy, Ma Yun believes that the world is welcoming a new era and new opportunities, the digital economy will reshape the world economy, and the world economy will have a new model, not only in China, but also the whole world is entering a new era.

  "Globalization must be more inclusive. Today’s problems are not caused by globalization, but by imperfect globalization." Ma Yun said that 300 years ago, trade was in the hands of several emperors, 30 years ago, trade was in the hands of 60,000 large enterprises, and future trade should belong to small and medium-sized enterprises. In the future, cross-border trade is not about selling things produced in one country to another, but about creating jobs and creating value for each other.

  In Ma Yun’s view, mankind is facing a new round of common challenges. The first technological revolution led to World War I, and the second technological revolution led to World War II. The third technological revolution, that is to say, the third world war is about to start, but this is not a war between countries, but a war in which human beings join hands to fight against disease, poverty and climate change.

  "I believe that in the common future of mankind, all human beings and all countries should unite and believe in young people instead of weapons. We should believe in technology, we should embrace technology, and we should take the initiative to embrace technology and enter a new era of sharing, inclusiveness and green." At the end of his speech, Ma Yun said: "Because only in this way can human society be better, more lasting and healthier."

  Ma Yun’s Speech at world internet conference 2017

  Wuzhen Internet is the fourth year this year. I come here every year. In Wuzhen, all of us bring our experiences and thoughts in this year here. Here, we share our thoughts on the Internet and the future. Every meeting makes me go back and have a lot of thinking and sharing, which is extremely beneficial.

  Today I want to share three simple views and opinions here:

  First, in the past 20 years, the Internet has grown from scratch, and in the next 30 years, the Internet will grow from scratch. It is precisely because in the past four years, I have flown to many places and visited many places, and I have studied hard from everyone I met. In the process of continuous and serious thinking, we have become more and more determined in our own ideas.

  Internet is penetrating into all aspects of society, and the influence of this technological revolution may exceed the sum of all previous technological revolutions. We are discussing the deep-seated problems of cyberspace, especially now it is more and more necessary and meaningful.

  In the next 30 years, data will become means of production, calculation will be productivity, and the Internet will be a production relationship. If we don’t digitize and connect to the internet, it will be even more terrible than not having electricity in the past 30 years.

  In the next 30 years, the Internet will no longer be the Internet of Internet companies, but the Internet of everyone. If the Internet has grown from scratch in the past 20 years, it will grow from scratch in the next 30 years. This "nothingness" is ubiquitous, and no one can exist without the network.

  In addition, it is better to take responsibility for cyberspace and the digital economy than to worry about it.

  In recent years, almost all over the world, there is a kind of worry about the new technology era and technology, that machines will take away jobs, that machines will control human beings, and that human beings will be destroyed in their greatest inventions.

  200 years ago, when the steam engine appeared, people were worried that steam would replace our work. More than 100 years ago, when electricity appeared, people were worried that it would take away a lot of jobs. In fact, the new technology is not to make people unemployed, but to make people do more valuable things, to make people not repeat themselves, but to innovate, so that their work can further evolve.

  During the Qing dynasty, we boycotted the railway, fearing that porters along the line would lose their jobs and affect social stability, but now there are more than 2 million railway workers. After the container appeared, porters were worried about losing their jobs, but there were many crane workers in the port. The Internet has impacted the circulation of newspapers, but the people who deliver newspapers have changed to deliver parcels. There are more than 3 million couriers in China. Therefore, instead of worrying, it is better to take responsibility. Instead of worrying that technology will take away employment, it is better to embrace technology and solve new problems.

  I believe that machines will make people’s work more dignified, valuable and creative. In the past 30 years, we have turned people into machines. In the next 30 years, we will turn machines into people, but in the end, we should make machines more like machines and people more like people. The trend of technology is unstoppable, but machines have no soul, machines have no faith, we humans have souls, beliefs and values, human beings have unique creativity, human beings must have confidence and belief, and we can control machines. Humans know less than 10% of their brains, and it is impossible for machines to surpass humans in this 10%.

  Third, in the new era and new opportunities, the digital economy will reshape the world economy, and the world economy will have a new model. Not only in China, but the whole world is entering a new era. In the new era, we will face new problems and new opportunities at the same time.

  Only by becoming a "community of destiny" and building a "community of destiny" can mankind meet the new era and challenges together. A series of problems faced by mankind are common, and the global industrial chain will definitely change completely, not containers, but small express, not Made In China or Made In America, but Made In Internet, not B2C, but C2B.

  More importantly, in the next 30 years, the manufacturing industry will no longer be the engine of employment, and the future manufacturing industry will be the service industry, and the future service industry must also be a new type of manufacturing industry. Because machines will replace most mechanical jobs, machine Learning and Artificial intelligence will definitely make robots replace many people’s jobs, and human beings will engage in more creative, creative and experienced jobs, and the service industry will definitely become the main source of future employment.

  Globalization must be more inclusive. Today’s problems are not caused by globalization, but by imperfect globalization. 300 years ago, trade was in the hands of several emperors, 30 years ago, trade was in the hands of 60 thousand large enterprises, and future trade should belong to small and medium-sized enterprises. In the past, 20% people benefited, and in the future, 80% people must benefit. Globalization should make more people in this world feel a sense of accomplishment, happiness and gain. The world needs not only G20, but also B20. The world needs G20 and B200 more. In the future, cross-border trade is not about selling things produced in one country to another, but about creating jobs and creating value for each other.

  Today’s Internet enterprises are the darlings of the times. We have never encountered such opportunities and never acquired such wealth. More importantly, we should shoulder great responsibilities that we have never encountered before. The times have given us technological capabilities. Only by constantly innovating and constantly creating new technologies and innovations can we match this era. We should win the market by innovation, win profits by technology, and win respect by taking responsibility, sharing and the spirit of inclusiveness.

  No country or company can solve all the problems. Only when we work together to create a "common destiny space", embrace such technologies and share such technologies and achievements can human society develop sustainably.

  The first technological revolution led to World War I, the second technological revolution led to World War II, and the third technological revolution, that is to say, World War III, is about to start, but this is not a war between countries, but a war in which we fight against disease, poverty and climate change hand in hand.

  I think that in the common future of mankind, all human beings and all countries should unite and believe in young people instead of weapons. We should believe in technology, and we should embrace technology. We should not be afraid that technology will impact our vested interests yesterday and our habitual thinking. We should take the initiative to embrace technology and enter a new era of sharing, inclusiveness and green, because only in this way can human society be better, more lasting and healthier. Thank you!
