Compared to the topical blockchain, Li Kaifu still wants to talk about AI.
At the GMIC Beijing 2018 conference and AI theme salon, Kaifu, chairman and chief executive of the Innovation Workshop, was asked how he saw the blockchain and said that he had already removed all blockchain 3 o'clock clusters.
'I want to clarify. At 3 o'clock I retired. Pulling in a group, I was pulled into more groups. So I deleted all. ' Kai-fu Lee explained.
Regarding the development prospect of China’s AI, Li Kaifu believes that in the competition with the United States, China’s artificial intelligence will have the opportunity to overtake the United States in the next five to ten years in areas such as driverlessness.
From an investment point of view, he divides the development of artificial intelligence into four waves.
The first wave is the Internet AI. In this wave, the occupants of Internet companies that hold huge amounts of data have great advantages.
In terms of specific user data, Li Kaifu believes that China's advantage is greater than that of the United States. First, Chinese Internet companies have more data than the United States. In addition, U.S. Internet companies face various kinds of data on monitoring, especially the EU's introduction of privacy policy. After that, this will be a new round of challenges for U.S. companies.
“In the past, Internet companies were leading the United States. Now that Chinese Internet companies are catching up quickly, the value of AI's creation on the Internet five years later is definitely greater in China. ' Kai-Fu Lee explained.
The second wave is commercial AI including banking, insurance companies, retail, medical, etc.
In this area, a large amount of existing data is activated with AI, creating value in business processes. However, Li Kaifu believes that it is difficult for China to surpass the United States in this area. The main reason is that the United States has been in the past decade and two. The data technology that has precipitated in more than a decade is very mature, so a large amount of commercial data in the United States is immediately available. In China, not only is the data structure very poor, but there are even problems with data cleaning.
Li Kaifu’s point of view is that as a whole, AI initiated by commercial data will lead the United States, but China will surpass the United States in unmanned stores.
The third wave is AI-sensing, including speech recognition, image recognition, etc. Since China can obtain more data in this respect, Chinese users are more likely to accept personal privacy for better user experience. Kai-fu Lee believes this After five years, China will definitely surpass the United States.
For the last wave of automated AI including robotics and driverless driving, Kaifu Li believes that in terms of robotics and driverlessness, although China is now quite a distance away from the United States, it can be levelled in five years, and it does not even rule out the lead.
Li Kaifu’s point of view is that in the AI field, China will have a chance to occupy half of the country in the next decade. 'From the application and market value should be more than half of the country, it may be about 60%. But it may not be possible to exceed the processor, operating system, and top scientists. . '
