🚀 China's data production just hit the stratosphere! In 2023, the country generated a whopping 32.85 zettabytes of data, marking a massive 22.44% increase from the previous year. This eye-popping figure was unveiled at the 7th Digital China Summit in Fuzhou, southeast China's Fujian Province.
The 2023 national data resource survey report highlighted explosive growth in unstructured data. Thanks to the rapid development of 5G, AI technologies, and the boom in smart devices 📱🤖, everyone's creating content like never before—think endless videos, music, and social media updates!
On the storage front, China now holds a colossal 1.73 zettabytes of data, with storage spaces running at 59% capacity. That's a lot of selfies and cat videos! 🐱📷
By the end of 2023, computing power across over 2,200 data centers nationwide soared by about 30%. The surge in demand for big computing, especially for training large AI models, is off the charts! Scientists, governments, banks, and industries are all hopping on the data train 🚂.
But it's not all smooth sailing. The report also points out that China is still in the early days of managing and using all this data treasure. Challenges like insufficient effective data supply are still in the mix.
Looks like the data revolution is just getting started! 🌐💡
