[viewpoint] Artificial Intelligence: Only knowing more humanity can get the top spot

A week ago, Sony successfully made AI display three popular songs that were difficult to distinguish. The last layer of psychological defense of human beings - emotional creation, is about to break. Artificial intelligence, like today's smart phones, has become a way of life and has opened up new and huge markets. It has no doubts and no barriers.

20 years ago, two or three giants divided up all the space in the PC era; 10 years ago, emerging Internet companies completed the "rebellion" in the era of mobile Internet; Today, standing on the threshold of artificial intelligence era, the eyes of old and new technology giants Where will you look?

Is there 15 years away from popularity?

In this era of "artificially-dominated mechanical transmission", which is still the main mode of social production and human movement, artificial intelligence seems to be far away from ordinary people.

However, an international expert group’s report on September 1 clearly told us that by 2030, specialized artificial intelligence applications will become increasingly common and more practical, and economic development and quality of life will be greatly improved. In other words, there are still 15 years away from the spread of specialized AI.

The report entitled "Artificial Intelligence and Life in 2030" is the first research result produced by a 100-year artificial intelligence impact research project. Submitted by Stanford University, an expert group of 17 experts in artificial intelligence and related fields. The research team is based on a typical North American city and examines the possible impact of artificial intelligence on people's production and life in the next 15 years. These eight areas are transportation, housekeeping, health care, education, entertainment, low-resource communities, public safety and security, and employment and the workplace.

Researchers believe that applications developed using artificial intelligence technologies such as computer vision, deep learning, natural language processing, and the like will be ubiquitous. It is expected that more and more artificial intelligence technologies will be commonly used in self-driving cars, medical diagnosis and targeted treatment, and elderly living assistance. Artificial intelligence technology and robots will also be used in industries that have difficulty attracting young labor, such as agriculture and food processing. Drones, drones, or delivery robots will make the delivery of online shopping more convenient. According to this report, artificial intelligence may have a positive and profound impact on the economy and society by 2030.

The third "World War" is visible

Facing this brand-new market, which is almost completely blank, the Chinese and foreign technology giants that experienced the PC and mobile internet twice in the “world war” have been busy for the third time to prepare for the war.

This year, Intel has successively acquired FPGA manufacturer Altera, deep learning company Nervana, and machine vision company Movidius; Apple acquired machine learning startup company Tuplejump Software; Google acquired chat robot startup company API.A; IBM and MIT teamed up with MIT to create "inspired brain multimedia machines. Understanding the laboratory" Facebook announced the establishment of an artificial intelligence R&D laboratory; Tencent announced that it will introduce artificial intelligence technology in its application to create a new model for robot distribution...

A series of back-to-back actions such as acquisitions, cooperation, and building laboratories

Afterwards, it was a smoky, crowded AI market. The killer who desperately builds is to build its own “ecosystem”—building an open ecological system based on existing advantages, radiating to the entire reaction chain of the upstream and downstream industries, and establishing an “open” ecosystem through acquisitions, cooperation, etc. .
