Qiu Ting | The Application and Challenge of Artificial Intelligence in China Ink Painting

  Content summary:The rapid development of AI technology in the field of artistic creation has expanded rapidly, and the combination of China ink painting and AI has also produced many phenomena and problems. This paper will discuss the application prospect of AI in China ink painting from multiple dimensions, including how the symbiotic creative technology of AI and ink painting will affect the artist’s creative process, whether it will shake the boundary and core value of ink painting, and examine the challenge this combination brings to the traditional spirit and modernity of ink painting, as well as the gap between AI’s innovation and artistic life expression.

  Key words:Artificial Intelligence Emergence and Challenge of Symbiosis and Innovation of China Ink Painting

  In today’s wave of iterative technological change, artificial intelligence (AI) permeates all aspects of our lives. The art industry is also facing reconstruction and change, especially the visual, auditory art and design industries, which are becoming increasingly digital. New opportunities and crises coexist. The blending of art and AI will lead to an unprecedented subversive artistic change, and the future of China’s painting and calligraphy art is infinite.

  As we all know, the art of Chinese painting is supported by a profound traditional knowledge system, which is continuously passed down and developed through the way of assimilation and acculturation. This has created its unique cultural psychology, thinking and behavior characteristics, and formed an interlocking brushwork and programming language. To borrow Yu Yingshi’s words, we should pay attention to the cultivation of knowledge and taste. "We should take the specialty as the origin, embrace thousands of families with relevant knowledge, and emphasize the knowledge and agreement, communication and specialization" (preface to Yu Yingshi’s Selected Poems and Paintings of Zhang Chonghe, life, reading and new knowledge Sanlian Bookstore, 2015 edition, p. 5), and professional learning should be based on a broad academic platform, so as to "unify all the disciplines and have them." With the rapid development of social science and technology, China’s ink painting spirit, which is bound by consumerism and utilitarianism, is the upward way to settle the free mind and has irreplaceable current significance.

  However, emphasizing the present significance of ink painting cannot avoid the challenges faced by contemporary ink painting creation. On the one hand, the traditional painting method can not be compared with the generation efficiency of digital technology. Traditional painting needs a lot of time in the stage of material preparation and idea landing, while digital technology can create quickly, modify at any time, and save multiple versions for comparison and selection. On the other hand, in the face of increasingly diversified and rapid aesthetic needs, the innovation and integration of ink painting can be isomorphic in the cooperation and symbiosis with AI, and explore the appropriate development path. AI can rely on the huge database analysis, the existing vocabulary and creative experience of ink painters, the empathy isomorphism of artists’ inner feelings, and even the legal essence of the value system of ink painting to promote artists’ understanding of more dimensions of the vicissitudes of nature, deduce the absolute theme, effectively evaluate the creative scheme, technique, material application and display mode, and help artists deepen the language dimension of their creation and understand and explore social humanities and styles more deeply and diversely.

  AI’s powerful computing power and huge information programming can quickly generate traditional painting skills, and can generate and understand huge data to create visual styles far beyond the usual ones. Among them, the imaginative "emergence" phenomenon shows the infinite possibilities of artistic creation in the AI era, which can be said to be the coexistence of longing and fear. At present, the use of AI tools is still in the initial stage. Most of the art industry only regards AI as a convenient and efficient technical tool, which is a synthesis under the constraints of the artist’s existing preset framework, such as asking questions to ChatGPT or sharing preliminary ideas. As an advanced language model, ChatGPT can understand the needs of artists and provide relevant suggestions, such as suggestions on artistic style, theme or technical scheme. This process can help artists to inspire and broaden new creative inspiration, and artists can use the tools of Midjourney to generate sketches. Midjourney has a series of operation processes that can help artists turn their ideas into visual sketches. Later, artists can share their sketches with ChatGPT for feedback. ChatGPT can provide suggestions on theme, composition, color and texture to help artists optimize their creative schemes. After several rounds of feedback and optimization, artists can use Midjourney to complete the second creation of pictures.This process requires artists to have clear creative ideas and clear self-awareness.

  On the one hand, meet the challenge, on the other hand, embrace the possibility. AI can quickly learn and imitate human painting skills and works of art. This provides a new possibility for the future of ink painting. On the other hand, by analyzing the learning and creation process of AI, we can understand and study the creation rules and aesthetic rules of ink painting from various angles. In addition, AI’s powerful database and computing power, as well as its amazing internalization ability, have amazing algorithms surging, which enables AI to present visual effects unmatched by human beings in a short time, which makes it possible for AI to promote ink painting and even cross-media development. We should actively face the benefits brought by AI, make full use of the advantages of AI’s reproduction based on excellent human visual image experience, and the visual logic and formal patterns of AI calculus, actively explore and try new expression methods, and maintain the vitality of symbiosis and isomorphism between man and AI. AI provides a new vision for the innovation of ink painting. In this era of great change, we should embrace the symbiosis and isomorphism between AI and human beings, so that the art of ink painting can maintain its open vitality and embrace more chaos and unknowns.

  In the history of human art, new technology can always promote the development and change of art. From architecture, design, photography to movies, from electronic music to digital art, technological progress has provided new possibilities for artistic creation. As a new technology, the application of AI in artistic creation also provides infinite imagination for ink painting.

Qiushi Digital Printing Sculpture 2023 "Heel Things Increase China — — Qiu Ting Art Exhibition "exhibition site

  The application of AI also puts forward the thinking of ontological value and boundary for the spirit of ink painting. The unique aesthetics and expression of ink painting are deeply rooted in the cultural soil of China, especially in the introspection and spiritual transcendence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, which is the most valuable scenery in China’s cultural and artistic genes. The iterative development of science and technology does not necessarily touch the core part of the value system of ink painting art, such as traditional core concepts, history, skills, and the study of calligraphy and painting evaluation from semantics to concept generation. No matter what mode of Chinese painting exploration, we can’t avoid these core values, as well as the research and exploration on the origin of traditional culture.

  However, AI-generated paintings often have an unreal sense of science and technology. At present, many works with some kind of electronic-generated plastic sense are typical. China’s ink painting is characterized by "loose", "waxy" and "hairy", the presentation of aesthetic images such as antiquity, obscurity, elegance, Xiao San and coldness, and the lack of AI creation, which is related to the current lack of AI’s understanding of nature and subtle emotional understanding of literary mind. Artists will integrate their understanding of nature and their perception of culture into their works in the process of creation. For example, Guo Xi emphasized the relationship between the painter and nature in Lin Quan Gao Zhi, and how the painter expressed his mind through nature. He said: "The landscape is the grand view of heaven and earth, and the things are born from it. It is also the goodness of people’s hearts, so it can attract people to swim alone, get carried away and relax. " This makes the artist’s works have the depth and vitality of philosophical thinking. However, the works created by AI still seem to lack this depth and vitality. Ink painting is based on the nature of mind, and its pen and ink pay attention to viewing things by oneself, viewing things by things, and changing with emotion. The use of symbols and programs is based on the subject’s emotion to grasp and recreate objects, and the learning and creation process of AI is based on data and algorithms. For the moment, no matter how novel and unique its creation style is, what may be missing is the most precious spiritual temperament of ink painting.

  Therefore, the discussion of AI creation can’t avoid the irreplaceability of the integration of knowledge and practice as an artist’s physical spirit, the emotional expression of the artist’s subtle muscle memory, how to present and measure the fickle nature in the world through hands and brushes, express the complex cultural sense in history, society and religion, and the scale and emotional entanglement of the artist’s integration into the body. AI painting is based on pure operation. Although the phenomenon of "emergence" brings imagination and creativity beyond expectations, it is fascinating and scary, but its creative source is data. However, human creation is based on cognition, which is a comprehensive perception of emotion and body. In particular, it needs to use human body to create in a large amount. It is the artist’s perception and application of body, the expression of consciousness through body, and the contest between body and media. These are probably not available in current AI creation. Perhaps in the future, through the docking of human brain and machine, the generation and creation of large models based on neural networks or billions of parameters can be realized without hindrance, and inspiration can be drawn from AI algorithm and brain neural networks respectively, which is what future artistic creation can look forward to.

In 2023, the White Cube London’s Beaumont West Space "anselm kiefer — — Finnegan’s wake night "exhibition site

  At the end of June this year, I saw Kiefer’s solo exhibition based on Joyce’s finnegan’s wake, drawing nutrients from poetry, philosophy, religion and science to generate art, while rebelling and subverting, asking about the life cycle of death and rebirth. This shocking visual field is stubborn and bitter, which completes the reproduction of Joyce’s poetic spirit. Only artists with compassion and historical perception can resist the depths of the soul. This kind of human expression and narrative power, which makes the viewer exhausted, will also make us reflect on the limitations of AI’s involvement in the artistic spirit. As Norman Bresson of the University of London once pointed out: The cognition constructed through the symbolic system (signifier and signified) will ignore or ignore "feelings, emotions, intuition and feelings". The human brain has strong plasticity, in which the hidden potential and the thoughts formed by the nerve subject unconsciously make the nerve subject unique in visual experience. Great artistic creation needs the awakening of artistic intelligence and the ultimate questioning of life spirit. If AI is a tool for artists’ research and creation, artists will actively intervene in the application of AI, which will lead to symbiosis with it and enhance their self-creativity. However, the great potential of AI can’t help but make people imagine: when AI cooperates with artists humbly and responsibly, will it also use artists as creative tools? We may also wish to look at it from the perspective of AI as the main body: Is thinking under the inertial framework of an artist a bit like "Be honored where there is no Buddha "? Are humans sometimes too self-righteous?

Eight multinational pharmaceutical companies set up R&D innovation centers in Beijing.

The Beijing News (Reporter Zhou Huaizong) The reporter learned from the Beijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission that at present, eight well-known foreign-funded pharmaceutical enterprises have set up new R&D or innovation projects in Beijing and obtained the "service package" of Beijing enterprises.

 

In recent years, Beijing has regarded the medical and health industry as one of the "double engines" supporting the innovation and development of the capital, and has continuously increased its policy support. Since 2018, it has successively issued three rounds of medical and health industry action plans, and issued a series of policies to support the high-quality development of innovative medicines, such as "32 articles" and iteratively updating the development of foreign R&D centers. Up to now, the city has identified five batches of 149 foreign R&D centers, among which the medical and health fields account for the largest proportion, reaching 40, which has become a new power source for foreign investment growth.

 

According to the relevant person in charge of the Beijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission, Beijing has formed a model of close coordination between the two levels of urban areas and strong cooperation among various units, and promoted the implementation of a number of pilot policies in the biomedical field. At the same time, the industrial map of Beijing was compiled, showing the distribution and guiding direction of Beijing’s medical and health industry resources, sorting out the talent needs of six sub-sectors and 14 professional and skilled talents, guiding the precise matching of human resources and medical and health industry, and building a supply-demand docking channel of "enterprise+application scenario", empowering people to find technologies for scenarios and scenarios for technologies.

 

In terms of strengthening services, Beijing has innovatively established a system of "service package" and "service housekeeper" for enterprises to provide services for foreign-funded enterprises. Establish a "first-in-first responsibility system". All departments in urban areas are responsible units for serving enterprises, and take the initiative to provide enterprises with industrial policies, government services, public services, etc., to solve the cross-regional, cross-departmental and cross-level problems of enterprises in key periods and key links. At present, more than 1,700 foreign-funded enterprises have been served, and more than 9,800 services have been provided to enterprises, with the completion rate and satisfaction rate reaching over 99%.

 

It is understood that eight multinational pharmaceutical companies that have recently set up R&D or innovation projects in Beijing have all been included in the "service package" of Beijing enterprises, and services such as implementing policy support, promoting innovation and development, and doing a good job in service guarantee are provided by the urban areas, and they are supported in terms of funds and talents. Beijing also selected Yizhuang New Town to build Beijing Medicine Innovation Park, which is located in the south extension line of Beijing’s central axis, and is an important node of China Unicom’s "double hub" and convenient international exchanges. Covering 9 regulatory agencies, 16 3A hospitals and 5 high-quality medical colleges within a radius of 15 kilometers, relying on the profound biomedical industry foundation of Yizhuang and Daxing, it can provide sufficient essential resources for medical innovation. Four functional areas are planned to be built in the area, which can meet the space needs of enterprises from R&D, pilot test to mass production.

Hillary "fell" out of countless online rumors. What is the truth?

  Zhongxin. com, September 19 (Guo Weiwei) Since Hillary Clinton, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of the United States, left early due to physical discomfort at the "September 11" commemoration event, she was photographed by the media and almost fell down. After needing help to get on the bus, there have been countless online rumors around Hillary’s health.

  From "only one year left to live" to "using body double", these rumors are serious, rendering Hillary a seriously ill patient who can’t fulfill the president’s accusation even if she is elected. However, as long as you study carefully, you will find that the rumors are unfounded.

(Figure 1) Hillary attended the 15th anniversary of September 11th. <a target='_blank' href='http://www.chinanews.com/'width=

  Hillary attended the 15th anniversary of September 11th. China News Service reporter Liao Panshe

  [has passed away? The news comes from the anchor’s slip of the tongue]

  Rumors:

  Joe Torres, the anchor of ABC 7, announced at the beginning of the evening news that "we will pay attention to the news about Hillary Clinton’s death first", and then he discussed Hillary’s health with his colleagues. This short video was quickly uploaded to the video website with nearly 150,000 hits.

  Subsequently, a screenshot of the homepage of ABC News began to circulate on the Internet, showing that the website reported that "Hillary Clinton reportedly died while receiving treatment at Montefiore Hospital" with the subtitle "Democrats disagree on the renomination procedure".

  Truth:

  ABC7 later said that the word Torres wanted to say was "health" rather than "death". A TV spokesperson said that from the contents of news reports, the information provided by reporters and the images broadcast on TV, Hillary is still alive and recovering.

  There is no trace of relevant network reports on ABC website, and no one has provided detailed screenshots of the report pages. Therefore, it is difficult to confirm whether this so-called report was actually published by ABC.

  [Use body double? Conspiracy theory without evidence]

  Rumors:

  Hillary left the "9.11" commemoration and went to her daughter Chelsea’s apartment to rest. Two hours later, she walked out of the apartment and waved to the media. However, social media users compared the photos of Hillary before and after she left the apartment, saying that she used body double.

  The netizen "opened his brain" and compared the body shape change, finger length and earlobe thickness one by one, saying that "Hillary’s index finger is longer than her ring finger. This is not Hillary ","the nose looks very different ","the earlobe of the woman who walked out of the apartment is thicker "and so on. Netizens even suggested a candidate for Hillary body double, saying that actress Teresa Barnwell was hired to play Hillary.

  Truth:

  To a great extent, "body double’s theory" is just a carnival of conspiracy theorists, which is not supported by any substantial evidence.

  Teresa Barnwell, who was accused of being Hillary’s "body double", also said that she was not in new york at all, but in LA. On the same day, she also uploaded a photo of herself at the recording scene of the "lip-synching war" program to clarify the rumors.

  [Only one year’s life? Medical report shatters rumors]

  Rumors:

  While Hillary’s "health door" is in full swing, a report in the British "Daily Express" claiming that "Hillary has only one year to live" adds fuel to this hot event.

  The newspaper quoted a 10-minute video posted on Youtube by a person who claimed to be a professor of American medical school, saying that Hillary suffered from "vascular dementia" and would not be able to perform her duties as president. The newspaper also said that many sources said that the top leaders of the Democratic Party were meeting to "consider" replacing Hillary.

  Truth:

  In response to this video, Hillary’s personal doctor Lisa Badak said that the documents in the video were all forged, not from her own hands, and there was no medical basis.

  On the 14th, the Hillary team released its health materials. The documents showed that Hillary was found to have non-contact bacterial pneumonia in the physical examination on the 9th of this month, and recovered well after taking antibiotics and recuperation. "It will not affect her appointment as the president of the United States.". Subsequently, Hillary herself appeared on the 15 th campaign to break the rumors.

  [A fall, why let rumors abound? 】

  Before this "falling incident", Hillary’s health problem was only regarded as one of the attack topics chosen by the Trump camp. Hillary herself even responded to this question by opening cans with her bare hands on a talk show.

  However, this accident, which occurred in full view of the public, made Hillary’s response weak, and also made the "health door" really become an election topic of public concern. After all, Trump is now 70 years old and Hillary is about to turn 69. Their health status, whether they are allowed to perform the duties of the president in the next four years, is indeed a realistic problem.

  At the same time, concealing the illness was also regarded as one of the manifestations of "not being open and transparent enough", which echoed Hillary’s previously questioned "mail door" and "donation door", resulting in her credibility index being deducted again. In many polls after the "Health Gate", Trump’s support rate is gradually catching up with Hillary, and even has an advantage in polls such as the Los Angeles Times.

  Although the conspiracy theory about Hillary’s health problems is out of tune, the issue of integrity has become the real weakness of Hillary in this election.

Giant panda’s "companion animal"

What is a companion animal?

Companion animals refer to animals that are distributed in the same domain and complement or interact with the animals in the utilization of resources such as food, habitat, water source and hidden conditions.

What are the accompanying animals of giant pandas?

Giant pandas living in the wild, they are not alone, and they are accompanied by many ecological "partners", among which the most famous are golden monkey, pronghorn, red panda, black bear, wild boar, forest musk deer, bamboo rat, macaque, crested deer, wildebeest, green-tailed pheasant, red-bellied pheasant, red-bellied golden pheasant and so on. These animals, like giant pandas, live in natural environments such as mountains, forests and grasslands in southwest China. These precious animals basically live in the same environment as giant pandas. From the natural and historical origin, they are all ancient creatures from one million to several million years ago.

Through long-term coexistence, they live together in the same area in harmony, but each occupies its own space, has a division of labor in nutrition, and has uneven coordination in day and night activities and seasons, and forms a relatively stable fauna through food as a link.

Milestone model, interpretation of Volvo’s new XC90/Jaguar XE

    [XCAR new car review, original]

    At the end of August and the beginning of September, in just half a month, two models that have attracted much attention made their debut, one is the new flagship SUV model from the new generation, and the other is the new entry-level model from the XE. The two models are completely different in positioning, and they have extraordinary significance for their respective brands. Why can they be called two landmark products? Let’s find out!

Milestone new car

    ● What are the highlights of the new generation XC90 worth mentioning in detail?

    New family-style appearance:The new XC90 opens the prelude to Volvo’s new family-style appearance. Thor’s Hammer T-headlights, the new China Grid, and the technology-rich styling make up Volvo’s new family-style appearance, and will all appear in Volvo’s future models. From the perspective of the new XC90 alone, the slightly restrained and simple Scandinavian style is still the main tone of the new XC90.

    The Nordic style interior is also very interesting.The new generation XC90 further enhances the quality of the interior design and materials. The main materials of the interior are leather and wood grain materials with a high sense of sophistication. These all elevate the simple and natural design style of Northern Europe to a new level, and reflect its human care in simplicity. The new seat is not only chic in shape, but also ergonomically designed to make it comfortable and have good support. At the same time, the use of large-size LCD screens also combines simplicity with fashion technology.

    Multimedia Connected CarPlay & Sensus:Sensus, Volvo’s new sub-brand, introduces state-of-the-art touchscreen and software technology. On the centre console of the new XC90 you can see a huge touchscreen that replaces the position of radios, multimedia players and even air conditioners on traditional models. Thanks to the touch control, the interior of the XC90 has become quite clean and clean, and the previous control buttons have been replaced by this touchscreen.

 [Sensus system has strong practicality]

   This touchscreen can also be connected to the electronic dashboard, projecting navigation information such as navigation information to the dashboard and HUD head-up display. In addition, the application of cloud technology also makes the Sensus system more flexible and extensive, such as the online collection of vehicle peripheral information, including: parking spaces, destination information, traffic flow conditions, etc. In terms of vehicle information, the system can provide vehicle maintenance information, including nearby dealers, and obtain dealer maintenance idle time through the network, helping owners to use fragmented time efficiently for vehicle maintenance.

Sensus system

    The new generation XC90 is also equipped with "Apple" Carplay, which allows it to mirror the content of devices using the IOS system, and users can easily use some applications on Apple’s end point such as iPhone and iPad through the touch screen of the Sensus system.

    Armed to the teeth safety technology:Safety has always been the most important halo of the Volvo brand. The new generation of Volvo XC90 integrates various active and passive safety technologies developed by Volvo in recent years. In terms of passive safety, the new XC90 is made of boron steel, which has the characteristics of high rigidity and lightweight. It provides passengers with comprehensive protection while also taking into account fuel economy, which is also the trend of the development of body technology.

    In terms of active safety, the new generation of XC90 safety technology includes: lane departure, rear-end collision prevention, low-speed pedestrian protection, animal protection, and blind spot notification. Two of these configurations are pioneered and first deployed on the XC90, namely: road departure protection and automatic braking technology at intersections.

    Road departure protection, when the detection system of the new generation XC90 determines that the vehicle is off the road, the internal front seat belts tighten and remain in this state until the vehicle stops. If the vehicle goes off the road, the energy absorption design between the seat and the seat frame can also relieve up to one-third of the vertical impact of the vehicle when it falls, minimizing or minimizing damage to the spine.

    The intersection automatic braking technology used in the new generation XC90 can automatically brake when a turn encounters an oncoming car, thus minimizing collision injuries or even avoiding accidents altogether, helping drivers stop at the edge of danger.

Volvo's new generation XC90 is released

    New Powertrain: Starting this year, Volvo began to replace the Drive-E powertrain in its models, gradually getting rid of dependence on the ecoboost engine. The first model to carry this powertrain is Volvo. The Volvo Drive-E powertrain consists of 8 engines, including 4 gasoline engines and 4 diesel engines. The Drive-E powertrain adopts a modular design concept, all engines are limited to 2.0 displacement, inline four-cylinder structure, and the gasoline/diesel engine body design is consistent.

 

    On the new XC90, Volvo will offer five powertrains, including two diesels, two petrol engines and a plug-in hybrid powertrain. The flagship XC90 is the T8 model with a hybrid powertrain.

    The new XC90 hybrid model adopts an innovative power layout. The front and rear wheels are driven by gasoline engines and electric motors respectively, and there is no rigid connection between them. The four-wheel drive system controls the power output ratio of the front and rear wheels through an electronic system. This kind of hybrid four-wheel drive mode is often seen in high-performance sports cars, which belongs to the more mature hybrid four-wheel drive type.

    In addition, the XC90 hybrid version can also be plugged in and charged with battery power, with a maximum electric mileage of 30-40 kilometers.

Volvo's new generation XC90 is released

    The T5 and T6 gasoline engines are both 2.0L displacement, the former is single supercharged, the latter uses double supercharged, the maximum power output is 189kW and 239kW, and the matching is the 8AT automatic gearbox provided by Aisin. For a big model like the new XC90, the power output of these two engines can only be said to meet user requests, especially for the relatively weak T5 power.

  The Higher People’s Court of Hunan Province found that the appellant, Chen Jianxiang, had a negative attitude towards work and life, could not let go of old trifles, held grudges in his heart, and gradually developed a sense of revenge. On December 17, 2017, Chen Jianxiang listed the list of persons to be murdered and wrote a suicide note.

Chen Jianxiang killed two innocent victims with a gun, and the death penalty should be applied according to law. Although Chen Jianxiang could truthfully confess the facts of his crime after arriving at the case, it was not enough to give him a lenient punishment.

Six departments "remind" to interview 8 online car-hailing and ride-hailing platforms

  Beijing, November 16 (Reporter Du Ximeng) According to the Voice of China "News Vertical and Horizontal" report, the Ministry of Transport and other six departments have recently conducted reminder interviews with eight online car-hailing and ride-hailing platform companies such as Shouqi Car-hailing and Shenzhou Youche, focusing on "aggregation platform access to illegal operation of online car-hailing" and "unbalanced process of online car-hailing compliance". For online car-hailing, new problems have arisen in the ride-hailing industry. What measures have the regulatory authorities taken? How to achieve the goal of "sustainable and healthy development of the online car-hailing industry"? Voice of China interviewed the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Transport to explain the above hot issues.

  It has been more than a year since the Ministry of Transport, the Central Cyberspace Administration of China, the Ministry of Public Security and other departments carried out in-situ safety inspections on online car-hailing and ride-hailing platforms last year. But with the re-launch of Hitch, Meituan and other platforms have actively entered the online car-hailing travel market, and the industry has heated up again. Some new problems and new situations have also attracted the attention of regulatory authorities.

  This week, the Ministry of Transport, the Central Cyberspace Administration of China, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments jointly interviewed eight online car-hailing and ride-hailing platforms, including Shouqi Car-hailing and Meituan Travel, in the name of the Inter-Ministerial Joint Conference Office for Coordinated Supervision of New Formats of Transportation. Cai Tuanjie, deputy director of the Transport Services Department of the Ministry of Transport, revealed that the interview was a reminder-style interview. What new issues have attracted the attention of the regulatory authorities? "Recently, some aggregation platforms have been found to connect to non-compliant online car-hailing platform companies, vehicles and drivers, and engage in illegal online car-hailing operations in the name of’aggregation ‘," the six-department notice said. Cai Tuanjie said that they found that some platforms were responsible for passing the buck after disputes arose.

  Cai Tuanjie said: "The aggregation platform is a measure recently launched by some platform companies to facilitate the people and improve the matching ratio of supply and demand. However, at present, individual aggregation platforms have connected to unqualified online car-hailing platform companies, vehicles and drivers, and have become helpers of illegal operations. On the other hand, individual aggregation platforms also encourage connected platform companies to establish new online car-hailing platform companies to avoid the legal responsibilities that carriers should bear. There are also individual aggregation platforms that are deeply involved in the online operation and dispatch of online car-hailing platform companies. In essence, they are engaged in online car-hailing business in the name of’aggregation ‘. However, when passengers encounter problems, there is a phenomenon of buck-passing between the aggregation platform and the access platform, infringing on the rights and interests of passengers. In this regard, we feel that whether it is an aggregation platform or an online car-hailing platform company, the responsibility for safety production cannot be avoided, and the safety of passengers is a common responsibility. Therefore, there must be joint and several responsibilities between platforms, and passengers must have basic living standards guarantee when encountering problems. Therefore, in this interview, we also ask the aggregation platform to strengthen the review and check the qualifications of the connected online car-hailing platform companies, and urge the connected online car-hailing platforms to strengthen the checks on the qualifications of vehicles and drivers, and resolutely put an end to illegal operations. "

  At the same time, improving the level of safety and security and promoting the process of online car-hailing compliance are still hot issues of concern to regulatory authorities. Since the beginning of this year, platform companies such as Cao Cao Travel and Meituan Travel have been punished by local authorities for non-compliance of vehicles or sending orders to unqualified drivers. Cai Tuanjie said that safety compliance is an inevitable requirement for the development of online car-hailing, and all online car-hailing platform companies should take the initiative to cooperate with local management departments, organize qualified drivers and vehicles to apply for online car-hailing licenses as soon as possible in accordance with relevant regulations, and strictly implement the relevant requirements for background verification. Cai Tuanjie said: "Last year, we carried out in-situ inspections of major platform companies. Over the past year, each platform company has checked the rectification list and increased the rectification efforts, and achieved phased results. In particular, the safety awareness of platform companies has been greatly improved, and some problems affecting safety have been effectively rectified. Some safety systems have been gradually improved, and the safety mechanism has been gradually improved. However, we still need to continue to advance. For example, in terms of compliance, the compliance ratio of some platforms in online car-hailing drivers and vehicles is not very high. We need to adhere to the combination of dredging and blocking. On the one hand, the relevant city departments can provide convenient conditions for online car-hailing vehicles and drivers to enter the market, eliminate’glass doors’, and provide more convenient channels for everyone to enter the market. At the same time, we need to strengthen the crackdown on illegal operations, and speed up the pace of compliance of online car-hailing through the combination of dredging and blocking. "

  Not only the safety of passengers is of paramount importance, but also the legitimate rights and interests of drivers, and the relevant regulatory authorities also paid special attention in this interview. Cai Unity revealed that in previous supervision, they found that some platform companies used the form of "rent purchase" to put vehicles on the market. In the process, some criminals used this form to carry out financial financing leases. When drivers entered the industry without knowing it, they encountered trouble when they wanted to quit. Cai Unity said: "Drivers are the direct providers of our transportation services. Compared with platform companies, drivers are at a disadvantage. Recently, there have also been some situations where’purchasing by rent ‘affects the stability of the industry. When drivers want to quit, the main problem is that the contract signed with the leasing company does not adequately protect the rights and interests of the driver, such as the refund of the deposit, the time limit for returning the car, etc., which harms the interests of the driver. We are concerned about this problem and should take measures to require the platform company to properly handle the contractual relationship between the leasing company and the driver in accordance with laws and regulations, to ensure that the legitimate interests of the driver are protected, so that the driver can easily enter the industry, and at the same time, when he wants to quit, he can also easily quit. "

  The inter-ministerial joint meeting on the coordinated supervision of new transportation formats also requires that all platform companies continue to maintain the safety bottom line, continuously improve service levels, and form a long-term safety control mechanism to promote the sustainable, stable and healthy development of the industry.

  Cai Tuanjie said: "Safety rectification is a long-term work. We require all platform companies to combine the situation of safety rectification, solidify the relevant mature mechanism, solidify the relevant effective system, and solidify the relevant formed standards. We can institutionalize and standardize the effectiveness of safety rectification and improve the long-term mechanism of enterprise safety production, so as to ensure safety in the long run. We also expect relevant platform companies to pay attention to safety for a long time, integrate the concept of safety development into the corporate culture, into the corporate system, and into the daily operation, and make every effort to ensure the safety of ordinary people’s travel, rather than blindly rely on compensation after the final safety accident to solve the problem."
