Following the launch of "The First Artificial Intelligence Phone" The Magic of Honor and the VIA V10 with the first artificial intelligence processor chip Kirin 970, Huawei is in a leading position in the era of artificial intelligence. In the blueprint of the domestic telecommunications giant As with "smartphones" and earlier "smartphones," "artificial smartphones" will become the epoch of communications products, creating new opportunities and making the entire industry a second major development.
Today's Beijing is the coldest day since winter, but the subject of discussion on "Smartphone's new opportunities in the AI era" is the hottest thing at the moment: What do we need in the AI era? Smart device, "mobile phone" will evolve into what kind of new shape? Glory President Zhao Ming first gave his answer: "AI smart phone will be the human brain co-processor."
Inspired by the structure of the human brain, Deep Learning is a machine learning algorithm that allows computers to have inferred capabilities that have become the mainstream of artificial intelligence technology since the development of GPU computing power around the year 2011 Triggered a new wave of artificial intelligence.In recent years, more and more researchers engaged in this field to achieve one after another technological breakthrough.At present, artificial intelligence has speech recognition, face recognition and other tasks beyond the human Level, but also began to show its own advantages in the field of medical imaging, such as the diagnostic accuracy of pneumonia than the human physician.
In the eyes of Huawei, the future is a promising future. "From our understanding and judgment, an artificial smart phone may be a mobile phone after Jobs introduced the iPhone in 2007 and on another mobile phone A landmark development, "Zhao Ming said." The future of AI handsets is unthinkable. "
As the depth of learning GPU, NPU blessing a new generation of chip Kirin 970 also glory for the just launched V10 mobile phone shooting, intelligent translation tasks such as the performance has brought a huge upgrade in the glory of the team view, unicorn 970 compared The rise of the previous generation is equivalent to the difference between the 1940s and today's computers, which has made it possible for many things that were previously impossible to do, thanks to the emergence of hardware that can be specifically accelerated for deep neural networks, honoring V10 , The speed of image recognition tasks can be processed in real-time, which means that artificial intelligence can be applied to the shooting scene.
The glory of the V10 is called the "AI camera" on the main camera, the phone system can automatically identify 13 kinds of specific scenarios, and depth learning model output parameters automatically adjust the camera settings to complete high-quality shooting. Glory claimed that the new Phone can use "automatic" let anyone easily master photos.
With the help of artificial intelligence mobile phones, it is indeed promising for all to have the ability to belong to only a handful of professionals before. Zhao cites an example: in an age when blogging flourishes, people often need to grasp the long-term capabilities of online articles, So when the voice is still relatively small.Afterward only enter the 140 words of microblogging appeared, due to the lower threshold, everyone can freely want to speak, and we soon entered the self-media era.Golden that the phone Lowering the bar for high-level photos by artificial intelligence cameras may also bring about new changes in social forms.
Glory The camera on the V10 is just the first step in the application of AI on mobile phones. The AI mobile phones we see today are still in the initial stages of development. There are still many application scenarios waiting to be discovered and many challenges are still waiting to be overcome. "Artificial Smart apps must give people a better experience and can not be a burden, or they will be out of the original mindset of change, "Zhao Ming said.
Huawei's chip, director of hardware products and technology planning, and Huawei Fellow Ai Wei are looking forward to the enhancement brought by the new generation of communication protocol 5G to artificial intelligence applications: "The popular application in the AI era will not be what you see today. The first generation of applications will not only be passive, they'll run to the foreground, come prepared when you want to do something, and wait for you to press OK. Artificial intelligence combines with multiple sensors in the front of the phone Together, will have a disruptive effect.Human nerve conduction velocity limit, the response takes about 300 milliseconds; and through the artificial intelligence system, the use of low-latency 5G communication information transmission capacity, we may see in two years Mobile phones are faster than humans and by that time there will be a fundamental change in the landscape of applications. "
For AI, deep learning is not all that much. Lin Chou-cheng, a tenured professor in the department of information science at PKU, is more concerned with the technology behind artificial intelligence smartphones: "Artificial Intelligence now aims to make the machine intelligent at the human level. , May behave as a smart assistant Now we have a lot of deep learning applications.But need to be noted that the depth of learning is somewhat shortcomings, it can do is mainly the image and voice, etc. Pattern Recognition As we can see, most of the products in the industry are in both directions, and the boundary of deep learning is very clear. "
Artificial intelligence today can do well in perception, but there are more abstract, more advanced cognitive components in artificial intelligence subjects - something that deep learning can hardly do. Machine intelligence ultimately needs knowledge to solve real problems, and depth Learning does not require knowledge, and this is his boundary. At the same time, the perception of deep learning does not increase with the number of layers and data unlimited, there are limits, which means that we also need to use other AI technologies continue to improve The current system.
Technological advances require industry-wide collaboration and glory of the V10 release, while the brand also announced the formation of the Alliance for Glory Developers. Through the opening of dedicated interfaces such as artificial intelligence chips, Huawei hopes to have more other companies involved in the workforce Smart phone ecosystem, and at the same time integrate the "data silos" that exist in various APPs to make smartphones more intelligent As technology evolves, AI will bring in new business models and the interests of various companies will be re-established Distribution, and in the process, cooperation will bring about new business growth. "If the business model does not develop, it will be impossible for us to negotiate one family for such a task," commented Professor Lim Chu-chuen.
As the first brand to come up with the concept of "artificial intelligence," Glory is confident in its current lead in the market. "At the moment we think competitors such as the V10 model will probably not show up until 2019." Zhao "We have taken the first step, but for the entire mobile phone industry, we are still not sufficiently prepared for the AI handset era. We hope that with the concerted efforts of all people, we will speed up the process of AI-turn in mobile phones and the Internet industry, Bring about the development of the entire ecological chain, realize the revolution of the next user experience, and break the deadlock of homogeneity and vicious competition.
