Just passed in 2017, known as the "first year of application of artificial intelligence development." This year, whether it is Alpha dog defeated the world championship of human go, unmanned supermarket shop, or automatic driving car constantly 'on the road', artificial intelligence already Become the protagonist of daily news.However, artificial intelligence to really walk into everyday life, it seems there is still a small distance.
Bid farewell to 2017 'application year', this year's artificial intelligence can go one step further, usher in the industry outbreak?
Not long ago, at an event held by the Chinese Academy of Sciences Automation, a new concept was raised by Academician Pan Yunhe, former head of the National New Generation Artificial Intelligence Strategic Advisory Committee and former vice president of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, who said that after more than 60 years Development, Artificial Intelligence, has become a powerful engine of new and technological revolutions and new industrial revolutions and is moving towards 2.0, a new environment for information based on major changes and artificial intelligence to develop new goals that can be called next-generation artificial intelligence.
Behind this, there are not only the popularization of the Internet and mobile terminals, the infiltration of sensor networks, the emergence of big data and the rise of new information environments such as online communities, but also smart cities, economy, manufacturing, healthcare, home appliances, driving, The birth of new intelligent needs.
Correspondingly, a series of policies have been promulgated at the government level to promote the artificial intelligence industry to come to the ground.In July last year, the State Council released the "New Generation of Artificial Intelligence Development Plan" and the launch of a new generation of artificial intelligence development plan and major science and technology project in November of the same year Will, marking a new generation of artificial intelligence development planning and major science and technology project into full launch stage.
It is also at this meeting that the first batch of new generation of artificial intelligence platform for innovation and opening up is announced on the list of winners. The winners are the "new generation of artificial intelligence and innovation platform for auto-driving" relying on Baidu's construction, relying on the construction of 'urban A new generation of artificial intelligence open and innovation platform for the brain and a new generation of artificial intelligence open and innovation platform based on the new generation of "medical imaging" country of Tencent and a new generation of "intelligent voice" nation relying on the establishment of China Telecom.
This is considered by many to be the latest innovation in China in the era of artificial intelligence 2.0 and to some extent means that the artificial intelligence industry engine in our country has already been 'ignited' - this innovative technology led by computing power does not It is a sophisticated technology that is shelved. Instead, it is moving towards modern life and sparking sparks from traditional industries. It is also expected to be an effective measure to improve production efficiency and improve service capabilities.
Wan Gang, Minister of Science and Technology, said at this meeting that in the implementation of artificial intelligence development plan and major projects, it is necessary to strengthen the main body and market-oriented enterprises, highlighting the main role of enterprises in technical route selection and industry product standards, and to promote large-scale Innovative application of artificial intelligence promotes the deep integration of artificial intelligence and real economy and leads the development of intelligent economy and intelligent social development.
In fact, many leading technology companies have already started the industrial practice of artificial intelligence technology.With the example of the new generation of artificial intelligence open innovation platform built by Aliyun in the 'city brain' country, in October 2016, the Hangzhou Municipal Government released the 'City Brain "plan is the application of artificial intelligence technology efficient deployment of urban electronic public facilities, after a year, the city handed over the annual answer -
During the one-year artificial intelligence takeover of 128 signal light junctions in Hangzhou, the pilot area reduced travel time by 15.3% and the elevated road traveled 4.6 minutes, while in the main urban area, the average daily event alarm in the 'urban brain' was more than 500 times accurate Rate of 92%; in Xiaoshan, 120 ambulances arrived at the scene in time than in the past by half.
The technology has now gone abroad. On January 29, Malaysia announced the introduction of Aliyun's 'brain for the city'. During the first phase of the project, artificial intelligence technology will be applied to 281 road junctions in Kuala Lumpur to speed up vehicle traffic through traffic lights Traffic speed, ease congestion.Under emergencies, artificial intelligence can also regulate traffic conditions, open up 'green channel' for emergency vehicles.
Hu Xiaoming, president of Alibaba Cloud, an expert in artificial intelligence, said that in the past every industrial revolution was a profound integration of technology and industry, which led to economic and social changes. Today's artificial intelligence is no exception. He said that artificial intelligence will have more advantages than the Internet The big technology dividend also goes deep into the primary and secondary industries. Compared with other countries, China's artificial intelligence industry has more room for development.
In his view, the AI development in the United States benefits from strong underlying infrastructure, semiconductors, chip research and development, and a good software ecosystem, such as NVIDIA-driven GPU systems and Intel's programmable chips, all in the world of manual labor The smart industry has obvious advantages.
In contrast, China's basic research and development personnel are weak and its software ecosystem is relatively fragile, but Hu Xiaoming said China's advantage lies in the fact that artificial intelligence technologies have come out of laboratories and are widely used in urban, industrial, retail and financial industries as well as automobiles, Industry practice ", all kinds of data show that China in the production and application of artificial intelligence to 'slightly better.'
Pan Yun-he said that we should take a more open attitude to the development of artificial intelligence.After all, artificial intelligence is a quiz between people, not a race between people and machines - in the artificial intelligence environment, not Will lose some occupations, but change some occupations.He said that especially today, the developed countries are in the lead in the case of artificial intelligence layout, China should be the leader, do not follow the runner.
