The advent of large language models, populated by GPT, heralds the dawn of humanity's pursuit of artificial general intelligence (AGI), poised to instigate profound changes, both economically and technologically. This forum will explore three pivotal questions: What are the future directions and boundaries of AI, and how close are we to achieving AGI? What is the economic logic of AI, its impact on the economy, its pace, and boundaries, and how does this impact vary across countries at different development stages? Finally, how will various industries adapt to and embrace AI?
