Alibaba, which started as an e-commerce and B2B trading platform, has been actively developing artificial intelligence in recent years to compete with Western technology giants Google and Amazon. According to MIT Technology Review, Alibaba has strengthened its AI and machine learning in recent years. The supply chain, personalized search system and the launch of many new technology products are similar to the Amazon Echo-like Tmall Smart audio. In addition to Alibaba, other mainland technology giants and government agencies are also developing AI in full swing, both Tencent and Baidu. Actively develop its own AI technology; The State Council of the country has also formulated the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan" policy, which aims to increase the scale of industries with AI technology at the core to US$150 billion by 2030, becoming the global AI leader. Although Alibaba The business is still dominated by online sales and B2B trading platforms. However, these businesses also lay important foundations for other lucrative businesses, including freight logistics, marketing networks, cloud computing and financial technology services. Among them, Alibaba is in financial technology. The gains are even more alarming, with Alipay serving more than 5.2 million users, and The considerable information of these users has helped them establish a powerful cloud data and marketing network. Alibaba has achieved an extremely staggering success in the e-commerce industry. In recent years, apart from the company’s ant gold suits, it has continued to be found in Asian countries, especially in Southeast Asia. In addition to the region’s siege, Alibaba’s e-commerce site’s transaction volume reached US$25 billion in 2017 for the Double 11 segment; in contrast, the US’s annual online shopping festival’s Cyber Monday’s total online sales were only Up to 6.59 billion US dollars. Actually, Alibaba’s most important ambition outside the e-commerce industry is to become the number one cloud cloud AI service industry. Through cloud computing and storage, Alibaba has become an important role that its competitors cannot co-operate with. From this it can be seen that the battle in the cloud is no longer the battlefield of Google, Microsoft and Amazon. These are the only battlegrounds in the world. In October 2017, Alibaba founder Ma Yun announced that it will invest US$15 billion to build technology in the next 3 years. Institute of Dharma (DAMO) Institute, the name of the institute is discovery, adventure, momentum and outlook. The Chinese characters are composed of the first word, and the Chinese name of Dharma is also taken from the name of the Indian monk who introduced Buddhism to the mainland in the 5th century AD and further symbolizes that Alibaba will become an exporter of technology that will affect the world. In addition, the mainland has long since Get rid of the wave of Western technology innovation. According to statistics of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), China’s R&D spending from 2000 to 2016 grew from US$40.8 billion to US$412 billion, a full increase to 10 times; The amount of R&D expenditure still outperformed the mainland, reaching US$464 billion in 2016. However, the country’s R&D amount grew by only one third in 2000~2016, which is significantly lower than that of the mainland. Among them, Alibaba is more than China’s R&D spending. The major players in the industry will contribute up to US$2.6 billion in funding in 2017. In the future, Bodhidharma will further increase its R&D spending by more than 2 times to US$7 billion. It also means that Alibaba will have the opportunity to surpass IBM, Facebook, and Ford in the future. Ford’s R&D status is one step closer to the dominance of Amazon and Google’s parent Alphabet. Amazon and Alphabet’s R&D spending in 2017 was US$16.1 billion. 13.9 billion U.S. dollars. In the future, Dharma will focus on blockchain, security, financial technology, quantum computing and other technology research and development estimates will greatly increase the amount of research and development of Alibaba. In addition, Alibaba also Finding another strong foothold in cloud development - becoming a data supporter for deep learning platforms such as Google TensorFlow and Amazon MXNet. From voice recognition to self-driving systems, these deep learning platforms have to go through Alibaba. The vast amount of data training systems in hand can also be regarded as one of the keys to Alibaba’s transformation of its competitors into users. Alibaba has also revealed that in the future, it may create its own deep learning platform, but it has not yet released any In addition, the Alibaba AI team is currently synchronized with Google to conduct research on generative adversarial networks (GANS). This study does not train a single neural network alone, but trains two competing neural networks. The network will try to create high-fidelity pictures, while another network will try Don’t forget the picture. In recent years, Alibaba has also brought globally-renowned infrastructure to the world through AI. It actively launched the City Brain smart city program. It has already set foot in Hangzhou and Malaysia. It wants to improve traffic efficiency through monitoring and collecting road images. However, Alphabet has already started its own intelligent transportation program, Sidewalk, and plans to make the suburbs of Toronto an area with digital traffic management based on AI.
