'The potential of technology is unlimited, what artificial intelligence needs to do is to' pry open 'the imagination about the future with technology. "Li Jianhong, member of the CPPCC National Committee and founder of Baidu, said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency reporters.
From proposing the establishment of the 'brain of China' to finding out the missing children using face recognition technology, Robin Li has submitted a proposal on artificial intelligence for many years in a row, and this year he proposed proposals to introduce policies to encourage the opening of artificial intelligence platforms.
In recent years, artificial intelligence is very hot, and the industry generally views it as 'power of a new era,' not only creating a large number of emerging industries but also bringing about revolutionary changes in the manufacturing and service industries and profound changes in people's lives.
This is not the first artificial intelligence debut. Artificial intelligence, which was born in the middle of the last century, has caused many ups and downs all over the world, all of which have weakened because they did not crack the application of the "last mile."
'I enjoyed this class very much when I was studying in the United States, but the teacher advised me to give up, saying that the industry is not optimistic about this. '' Li said that due to the limited level of information technology and the industrial environment at that time, AI sat ' Years 'cold bench'.
Computing power determines the potential for growth. 'In the past we think that some things do not fly, that this thing is too expensive to do, can not afford to buy so many servers, not so much data.Today, strong computing power, low cost A lot of things can be done. "Robin Li said that artificial intelligence based on data and computing has also accelerated from the concept of 'high cooling' to universal world due to advances in information technology, data and computing power and has become a global The major industrial countries compete for high ground, whether it is speech recognition, image recognition or grasp of the user's portrait and so have been rapid development in recent years.
The demand from the application end is also driving the artificial intelligence industry to continue to mature.Statistics show that China has ranked second in the world in the field of artificial intelligence invention patents, intelligent monitoring, biometrics gradually into practical application, in speech recognition, visual recognition And other areas of the world's leading.
In the smart revolution, many people will see 'the future of themselves.' As the app opens, artificial intelligence will 'light up' more areas and people's lives. 'There were strangers who asked me when I walked the streets No one car came out when he said he did not want to learn the car. 'Robin Li said that in the future people may no longer need to learn the use of some tools, complex life becomes simple.In addition, artificial intelligence has gradually evolved into a large industry for most people, In many aspects of data labeling and other needs more and more people involved.
Opening up is the foundation for the industry to go further and the era of great cooperation is coming. "No enterprise has enough resources to show greater influence only by bringing together more data, computing power and technology. ' Li said that in the past year, Baidu released the Apollo Project and set up an open service platform for artificial intelligence to share technologies, codes and data for the industry. 'A bit similar to' Android. 'In less than a year, OEMs, component manufacturers, etc. More than 90 partners in the group join and share technology, "he said.
Robin Li believes that the industrial development needs to get through all aspects and leveraging each other and more enterprises are required to join in. 'I hope the country can have policies to guide enterprises, especially large companies, to open up the platform in artificial intelligence technology, which is of great significance to enhancing industrial technological capabilities and Application is a good thing, 'he said.
In addition to artificial intelligence, the two sessions of this year, Robin Li's proposal is more macro-level attention, throw more new challenges in the field to promote the solution.
In his opinion, opportunities or challenges often depend on how well people embrace new things, being open enough, willing to try, opportunities, and most importantly, what practitioners find out about what they are good at and what they like.
Because good at it, it is possible to do better than others, but like, you will not give up because of setbacks, difficulties, artificial intelligence, and so on, 'said Li.
