If a year ago, many people were still in a state of worship for smart speakers, 'I heard it was fun, but the price was prohibitive.' However, with the continuous advancement of artificial intelligence technology, smart speakers are used as artificial intelligence. One of the most important entrances to technology, it has also started to attract users to 'take home' frequently. At one time, smart speakers starting within 100 yuan started to appear, relying on the brand 'subsidy' to seize the market and become smart speakers. The industry's emerging competitive landscape, low-priced smart speakers are worth the money? Can artificial intelligence rely on 'subsidies' to effectively land?
Low-priced smart speakers can also provide value for money
When the spokesperson of Xiaodu Smart Speaker announced that Tsingtao Smart Speaker's early adopters price only needed 89 yuan, many people in the industry were stunned. As a Baidu’s latest smart speaker product, the price was set at 89 yuan. On the low price, its determination to seize the market seems to have been 'well-known.' More importantly, Xiaodu smart speaker products also have a lot of bright spots, the price of 89 yuan not only from the brand's strong subsidies, but also Let Xiaodu intelligent speaker become the most 'value for money' smart speaker products on the market.
According to reports, Xiaodu smart speaker uses ARM Cortex A53 quad-core processor, with a new acoustic cone design, so that small speakers provide a 360 ° no dead listening experience, In addition, Xiaodu intelligent speakers also have more rich and high quality content And skills, 10 million + massive genuine music resources, 1000 + provinces and cities radio stations, 10 million + hours massive audio content resources. In the IoT field, users can control multiple brands of smart home devices through small degree of intelligent speakers.
Smart speakers 'cut down' to a hundred dollars or less, small smart speakers are not pioneers. During last year's double 11 period, Alibaba's artificial intelligence lab under the original price of 499 yuan Tmall Elf X1 also rushed to buy 99 yuan low price Crazy, and through the low-cost way, Tmall Elf has gained millions of sales.
There are Baidu and Alibaba as endorsements for the brand. Whether it is Xiaodu Smart Speaker or Tmall Genie, the product itself can be said to be full of sincerity, and the price below RMB 100 is undoubtedly doing 'losing money' in the eyes of people in the industry. Buy and sell.
Artificial intelligence platform subsidy does not lose money
'The current capacity of DuerOS with more than 87 million active devices and more than 21.4 million monthly active devices is far ahead in the industry. In addition, DuerOS's ecosystem has continued to expand. There are more than 200 partners and DuerOS's landed owners Control equipment has reached more than 100 models, Due-rOS platform has gathered more than 13,000 developers. 'The general manager of Baidu Smart Life Business Group (SLG) revealed when talking about current Baidu artificial intelligence system Due-rOS, using terminals and partners The promotion, DuerOS has now become the largest number of domestic users of artificial intelligence platform. In the eyes of the industry, equipped with DuerOS system of small degree smart speakers to further seize the market at a low price is also a matter of course: a comprehensive transformation of artificial intelligence Baidu , It is hoped that even through subsidies, we must seize opportunities in the field of artificial intelligence.
'The most important aspect of artificial intelligence is human-computer interaction. User feedback and real usage are the most needed for artificial intelligence. 'In the eyes of people in the industry, smart speakers, as an artificial intelligence product, can interact with users most effectively. The elements of demand, feedback, preferences, and habits will all interact with artificial intelligence systems through smart speakers. This also provides the best and most direct material for training artificial intelligence system algorithms and optimizing products. The analogy is that the platform uses the cost of subsidized products in exchange for thousands of real-user opportunities for training artificial intelligence systems.
Voice interactions are becoming more and more necessary
On the one hand, various artificial intelligence platforms are full of subsidies for smart speakers to cultivate the market. On the other hand, many consumers are watching or having low operating rates. While using low prices to make smart speakers more attractive, there are also many insiders. Doubt, smart speakers will become consumers just need it?
'I'm not sure whether the smart speaker is just a market, but I can say with certainty that the voice interaction must be one of ours just needed.' Shallow Xue, head of Alibaba's AI Lab, believes that smart speakers are more interactive A scenario is tried, but the final situation of voice interaction will really break out. Nobody can conclude yet.
'Voice interaction has different needs in different scenarios.' For many users, at home, they may want to be called out for a hungry voice, and about 58 households in the same city, while the company may want to use voice. Interactively go to the Lucky Cat or China Talents to recruit individuals, or print documents directly. If in the car, the voice interaction is more of the need of listening to music and navigation. Whether it is smart speakers or other equipment, behind the artificial intelligence system' The ability is the key to satisfying the needs of users. It is really just what you need.
According to the Nanfang Daily reporter, current artificial intelligence platforms have extended and deployed artificial intelligence systems to more fields. Among them, Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent's artificial intelligence systems have also been applied in the automotive and medical fields. Perhaps your conversation on smart speakers will provide value for the development of artificial intelligence in more industries.
