A few days ago, the second World Smart Conference was held, gathered a large number of big coffee, smart terminals, smart appliances, intelligent service robots and a large number of advanced intelligent products emerged. Advances in artificial intelligence also promoted the intelligent upgrade of major equipment.
Zhou Ji, dean of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, stated that 'a new generation of artificial intelligence has become the core technology of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and is forming a huge engine for economic development.'
The development of artificial intelligence goes far beyond people's expectations. It is no longer as far away as science fiction movies, but it has permeated our lives from various fields. It is developing at a rapid pace and it is promoting technological progress. Changes in people's lives.
With the accelerated penetration of artificial intelligence, consumer electronics giants have accelerated the pace of seizing the market. All camp companies are also building a strong ecological platform, and the ecological chain has become increasingly fierce.
Artificial Intelligence Army Athletics Human-Computer Interaction
In the past two years, the heat of artificial intelligence has continued to rise. Enterprises in many fields, such as mobile phones, home appliances, home appliances, and Internet technology, are striving to enter the intelligent industrial chain.
The United States, which is transforming itself into a technology giant, has spent huge sums of money to acquire the German robot giant KUKA. It only aims to improve its layout in the areas of artificial intelligence and smart equipment; Samsung has released a strategic vision of the smart Internet of Things IOT, intending to achieve all its equipment access within two years. Networking; Haier also launched the Ubot robot, established a number of smart factories, launched a full set of solutions, the smart equipment as the third largest outside the air conditioner and motor business development.
Zuo Yanyao, a research expert in China's Yikang era, believes that from the macro-environmental perspective, the state's support for artificial intelligence is increasing. At the same time, artificial intelligence is increasingly favored by investors. At the moment, artificial intelligence From imagination to reality, into the scene driven stage.
At present, the breakthrough and application of artificial intelligence is more embodied in human-computer interaction. If there is no human-computer interaction, then the giants competing to lay out the 'smart ecology' is just a decoration. Therefore, enterprises compete in the field of intelligence, In fact, it is also a human-computer interaction technology competition.
However, how to make the machine have more accurate recognition of human natural language, vague expression, and habitual behavior, and let the machine learn to understand semantics and images as humans is the biggest challenge and difficulty faced by artificial intelligence.
Currently, companies such as Haier, Changhong, Midea, and Hisense have all conducted explorations in the field of human-computer interaction. In the near future, they have unveiled a smart life with multiple interactions and intelligent manufacturing of the latest solutions.
Samsung also introduced the artificial intelligence platform Bixby, an innovative human-computer interaction method. It is reported that Samsung Bixby integrates a large number of hardware and software, which can determine the user's instructions, and can understand the current use environment, so that this system will not be called when it is awakened. Break the user's ongoing task.
An insider of Samsung Electronics stated that Samsung Bixby can complete multiple modes of interactive commands such as voice, visual, reminder, and homepage in addition to completing single-mode commands. At the same time, this system will continue to learn the user's habits and have interactive learning. Mechanisms to enhance user experience by opening up user-customized interfaces.
As the layout of the giants has accelerated, the development of a number of artificial intelligence technologies such as voice technology and face recognition has entered a mature application period, which in turn has boosted the smart home into the scenario-driven stage.
According to the monitoring data of the middle-and-low-line market, the penetration rate of smart TV retail sales reached 88.9% in 2017. It is gradually forming an entertainment and ecological use scene integrating film and television and shopping. The use scenarios of smart refrigerators and other products have involved procurement. Logistics, recommendation, cooking, etc. around the ecological chain of food.
Zuo Yanlu believes that the development of artificial intelligence to the third stage, scenario driven as the main driving force, intelligent products can implement different decision-making programs under different scenarios. In the future, smart education, smart medical field appears huge space, service robots will also welcome To blowout period.
Ecological chain dispute
With Samsung, Google, Microsoft, Xiaomi, Haier and other powerful large companies that have built smart ecosystems, today's smart products have already entered the ecosystem competition from single product competition, and this competition has become increasingly fierce.
The era of the Internet of Everything is coming. The development of the Internet of Things is accelerating the realization of artificial intelligence. And many consumer electronics giants are trying to seize this slogan and take the lead to win the entire ecological chain.
After expanding the industrial landscape of smart manufacturing, Midea introduced the 'new generation of man-machine generation' strategy this year and announced its formal entry into the Industrial Internet.
Samsung has been making frequent moves since the beginning of this year. It also points to the artificial intelligence ecosystem. Samsung Electronics stated that Samsung will use artificial intelligence platform Bixby on Samsung Galaxy S9, S8, Note8 and other flagship mobile phone products. This is Samsung’s move in the field of artificial intelligence. The first step. Currently Samsung's layout has entered the artificial intelligence + Internet of Things stage, Samsung's goal is to build the interconnected ecological environment.
Samsung recently introduced the first artificial-smart TV, based on JD.com, integrating artificial intelligence (AI) technology with the Internet of Things (IoT) technology. It wants to create the concept of 'Internet + Artificial Intelligence' to achieve smart upgrades. Samsung’s strategy also plans to copy this artificial intelligence system to other electronic devices or home appliances, such as refrigerators, air conditioners, etc., to connect the entire smart home product to the same network, maximizing the availability of home appliances, and preempting layouts. The entire industry chain.
Most companies in the Xiaomi ecological chain are also involved in the field of artificial intelligence. According to Xiaomi's prospectus, this time it plans to use 30% of the funds raised by IPO for R&D and development of smart phones, artificial intelligence and other core products, 30% For the expansion of investment and strengthen the consumer goods and mobile Internet industry chain.
Wang Ra, the director of the China Artificial Intelligence Society and secretary-general of the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Society, said: “It's easy to see whether Samsung, Midea or Xiaomi are all accelerating the construction of their own artificial intelligence systems by allowing their own IoT smart devices to Artificial intelligence systems are integrated to penetrate the entire ecosystem to seize the power of discourse and dominance. At the same time, the cooperation between home appliances and technology giants will continue to strengthen in the future, and the matrix and alliance will continue to emerge. The giants are in the hardware, terminal The cooperation of the platform and intelligent system will further enhance the intelligent interactive experience of the entire terminal equipment.
