On March 9th, 2018, organized by the smart media industry's first media and industrial service platform Zhizhi things, the GTIC 2018 global AI chip innovation summit jointly organized by the global good consumer recommendation platform GEGU and China Household Electrical Appliances and Consumer Electronics Fair AWE was held in Shanghai. The theme of this summit is 'Entering the AI world to see the future from the core'. Nearly 40 industry leaders in AI, chip, security, automotive and consumer electronics come together, from the upstream industry chain to the hot venture projects, and then to each New thinking in the field of industrial upgrading driven by AI chips, systematically exploring the technological prospects and industrial trends of AI chips in 2018.
First, the scene of the three major heavyweight news domestic debut
As the first shot of the 2018 Science and Technology Conference, this is not just an industry-sharing conference: The world’s four largest chip semiconductor giants gather together, home appliance giants gather, and Unicorn’s AI chips hit the battlefield. For the first time, Mengliao disclosed: For example, chip giant Qualcomm and MediaTek have introduced and shared their own new AI engines for the first time in China. Deep thinking is the first release of the medical imaging AI chip 'M-DPU'. The three heavy news began to report in depth.
At the summit, first by the Zhi Zhi CEO Gong Lunchang and the China Household Appliances Association Secretary-General Zhu Jun, he first made an opening speech. Gong Lunchang not only shared the heavy achievements of the Zhi Zhi Dong AI chip series report and the smart speaker series, but also pointed out that 'AI If you do not combine industries, it makes no sense. The entire industry has entered no chips, no AI, no terminal, no AI, no industry, no AI status.
As one of the co-sponsors of the GTIC 2018 Global AI Chip Innovation Summit, Zhu Jun, Secretary-General of the China Household Electrical Appliances Association, talked about the rise of artificial intelligence and the prosperity of the home appliance industry. It was jointly organized by Gengguo, AWE and Zhizhi. Technology Park Exhibition has also become a major highlight of this AWE. '2017 smart home appliance retail sales growth of 60%, the proportion of home appliances will be raised to 24%.' Zhu Jun said.
Second, AI chip giants gathered
GTIC 2018 is the most anticipated AI technology industry summit in China at the beginning of the New Year, and also the first AI chip industry summit in China. The conference gathered the top AI chip academics in China, and the world’s top four semiconductor chip giants Intel, Nvidia , Qualcomm, MTK heavyweights, executives of Haier, Tencent, Dahua, Yushi and other industrial chain technology application companies, and Shenzhen Jian Technology, Horizon, Bitland, Shang Tang Technology, Yun Cong Technology, NovuMind, Qi Ying Tyron, who thought deeply about Chongxin and other founders of unicorns or well-known startup companies, had nearly 40 heavyweight guests.
The conference was also the second time that GTIC’s conference and resource sharing platform GTIC entered Shanghai. It attracted more than 10,000 visitors from traditional chip, security, automotive, AI technology, consumer electronics, brokerage, and investment fields. Among the effective audiences confirmed to attend the conference, chip-related technologies and application practitioners will occupy more than half of them, among which corporate founders, technical managers, and managers above the director level will account for nearly 60%. The audience will be displayed at 7:00 am on the morning of the summit. In the long line, the number of participants was more than tripled than expected. The scene was hot and many spectators stood or watched live television broadcasts.
Third, the four major areas of the three major areas, panoramic deconstruction AI chip
The GTIC 2018 AI chip summit is divided into the morning and afternoon fields. It is divided into four sections. The morning is the opening of the section's 'Artificial Intelligence Breakout Cluster Core Demonstration Age'; the afternoon's three sections are the 'Automatic Drive Accelerated Landing AI' Leading the computing platform, 'A new round of consumer electronics revolution, the arrival of AI chips to promote interactive upgrades,' and 'Intelligent security innovations to accelerate the development of AI chips to empower machine vision'. The design of the four major forums deconstructed the development direction of AI chips in a panoramic view. And its three hottest application directions: autopilot, consumer electronics and security. Each forum has set up 2~3 keynote speeches and a roundtable forum around hot topics in the field. The forum invites professionals from all fields to preside over it. Guests are also top entrepreneurs in the field, core company leaders and investors in important companies in the industry chain. For example, NVIDIA, Intel, Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Shenjian Technology represent the cloud computing capabilities and terminal AI computing capabilities. UOB shares in the field, Yushi Technology, etc. Around the three high-level dialogues held by Autopilot, Consumer Electronics, and Security, we have gathered more than 20 global giants. Top entrepreneurs and representatives of intense battle, verse frequent become a major highlight of the General Assembly Fourth, GTIC 2018 AI chip share Innovation Summit highlights
Highlight 1: The world's four largest chip semiconductor giants
One of the highlights of the conference was the brilliant sharing of the top four chip semiconductor giants Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm, and MTK executives from around the world.
