'Two weeks ago, we organized dozens of industry leaders such as Tencent, Ali, Xiaomi, Linglong Technologies (IMCT and Jingdong), Xiannian Internet, Smart Butler, Lenovo and Unicom to participate in the assessment and evaluation of smart speakers, Officially launched smart speaker intelligent grading evaluation project. "China Institute of Information and Communication Cloud Computing and Big Data Institute of artificial intelligence engineer Cao Feng revealed to reporters .According to him, the future of artificial intelligence products intelligent grading project will also be intelligent Wear products, smart robots, IPTV set-top boxes, children's story machines and other artificial intelligence products or services to establish the appropriate evaluation methods and indicators.
The so-called intelligent grading is to assess the intelligence of artificial intelligence products to smart speakers, for example, to assess its level of intelligence in different scenarios, the detection of the speaker's perception, interactive capabilities, such as voice wake up sensitivity , Accuracy, voice understanding and other indicators.
'The reason for the establishment of a set of intelligent grading evaluation system is to objectively and impartially evaluate the various intelligent products with different capabilities in the market and give different grades according to the assessment results so as to help the industry Establish a benchmark for products and services, to provide users with a reliable reference. "Cao Feng said.
In recent years, artificial intelligence has drawn great attention and rapid development from all walks of life, and made major breakthroughs in many fields such as automatic driving, voice and image recognition, translation, etc. However, as a new industry, artificial intelligence standards, especially evaluation and evaluation norms, At present, there are basically no corresponding industry standards and evaluation norms in the world.With the application of artificial intelligence on home appliances, for example, the industry led by giants to develop standards, other companies are actively involved, but due to the division of interests, the current existence of smart home Agreement is not compatible with the strange phenomenon.
'At present, most of the smart TVs in the market are pseudo-smart, or their level of intelligence is still at a very low stage. Only through the Internet to achieve the mobile phone control, content sharing, experience and not too intelligent Change.War manufacturers fight, want to do the standard.Users buy a smart product, the mobile phone on an APP, also brought a lot of trouble. "An electric business person told reporters.
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, the development of industry standards has become the key to the sustainable development of the industry. In May last year, the government formulated the "Internet + 'Three-Year AI Implementation Plan,'" which proposed that by 2018, build an artificial intelligence foundation Resources and innovation platform, artificial intelligence industry system, innovative service system and standardization system have been basically established.The implementation plan is clear that it is necessary to establish a standard system for the integration of artificial intelligence, establish and perfect basic commonality, interoperability, industrial application, network security, privacy protection And other technical standards to carry out intelligent assessment of artificial intelligence system to strengthen the network, hardware and software, data, systems, testing and other standardization work in the field of hot spots such as smart home, smart car, intelligent robot, smart wearable device, etc. to ensure that artificial intelligence The opening up of the industry, fair competition, the formation of a healthy development of the industrial ecology.
July 20 this year, the State Council issued a "new generation of artificial intelligence development plan," put forward the current problems of artificial intelligence in China, and to the Chinese version of AI planning set a clear timetable and road map: By 2020 artificial intelligence The overall technologies and applications are synchronized with the world advanced level. The technical standards, service system and industrial ecological chain of artificial intelligence have been initially established. The core scale of artificial intelligence industry has exceeded 150 billion yuan and the related industries have exceeded 1 trillion yuan in scale.
It is understood that under the guidance of the NDRC, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Network Information Office, the China Institute of Information and Communication led the establishment of China's artificial intelligence industry alliance. One of the functions of the alliance is to establish artificial intelligence , Product and service evaluation and certification of brand and system, research and development of related technologies, products and services evaluation and certification methods and norms, organizations, artificial intelligence technology, products and services assessment evaluation and certification.
At this stage of development, government, enterprises and research institutes all hope to solve the prominent problems in the industry through the industry platform. "Cao Feng disclosed that the artificial intelligence products organized by the China AIAG Overall Team and the Evaluation and Accreditation Working Group are intelligently graded. The purpose is to create a set of effective evaluation criteria for various smart devices based on different performance indicators and user experience. 'At present, the evaluation framework for smart speakers has been set up and the prototype will be released in the first quarter of next year,' said Cao Feng.
