Recently, the 2021 World Artificial Intelligence Conference kicked off in Shanghai. More than a hundred forum activities, more than 300 participating manufacturers jointly demonstrated the cutting-edge progress of artificial intelligence technology innovation and industrial landing.
Compared with traditional large-scale exhibitions, this World Artificial Intelligence Conference is very "special"-the shadow of artificial intelligence and digital technology extends to every corner. At the venue, Baidu founder Robin Li and the world’s first Mars rover digital person "Zhu Rong" had a great conversation. The virtual host "Ling Yuan" from "Station B" (Bilibili website) and the host of the conference together The audience came to a "talk show." Outside the venue, the "Shangtang Flash Cabinet" uses face recognition technology to easily access items. The robots of the unmanned coffee shop can let you drink a cup of freshly ground coffee, and you can find the smart "magic mirror" to ask directions if you get lost...
It can be said that this year's World Artificial Intelligence Conference is a vivid testing ground. It brings together all kinds of novel, fun, and practical technologies, and artificial intelligence is all around us.
Industry development serves people
Shanghai has hosted the World Artificial Intelligence Conference for 4 consecutive years. In the past four years, my country's artificial intelligence industry has developed rapidly. As of the end of last year, the scale of the global artificial intelligence industry reached 156.5 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 12.3% year-on-year; my country's industry scale was 43.4 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 13.75% year-on-year, surpassing the global growth rate. In the global artificial intelligence competition landscape, China has entered the first echelon. The "2020 Global Artificial Intelligence Innovation Index Report" released at the Conference Governance Forum also showed that China's artificial intelligence innovation index rose to the second place, second only to the United States.
"With the joint efforts of all parties in industry, academia, research and application, the development of my country's artificial intelligence industry has achieved remarkable results, and technological innovation applications such as image recognition and speech recognition have entered the world's advanced ranks." Xiao Yaqing, Minister of Industry and Information Technology, said my country's artificial intelligence invention patents The total number of authorizations ranks first in the world, and the scale of core industries continues to grow. A complete industrial chain and application ecology covering the technology and application layers have been formed, and new markets, new development opportunities, and new jobs have been continuously created.
"Artificial intelligence will undoubtedly affect the process of human development in the next 40 years, and will bring new ideas and new solutions for digital upgrades to industries such as transportation, finance, industry, energy, and media. It has even begun to reshape the face of the industry, thereby affecting the development of human society. The future." Li Yanhong said that the value of artificial intelligence lies in serving and helping people, rather than surpassing and replacing people.
Technology empowers thousands of industries
"The artificial intelligence exhibitions in the past few years have made people feel that the technology and applications are very dazzling, but this year at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference, it seems that you can't see so many dazzling things." Huawei Rotating Chairman Hu Houkun said in a speech at the conference.
In fact, it is not that artificial intelligence is not showing off, but that we have become accustomed to these technologies. Hu Houkun said that artificial intelligence technology is already well known by people and has been deeply applied in the industry. This seemingly unremarkable change just reflects the transformation of artificial intelligence from tangible to intangible, becoming a force that changes all walks of life.
When artificial intelligence met government services, Shanghai’s “12345” citizen service hotline became the "confidante" of the people. "People in Shanghai always say that you can call '12345' if you have something to do. The response speed is fast and the answer is many questions. The artificial intelligence behind this is worth paying attention to." Hu Houkun introduced that Shanghai's "12345" citizen service hotline has introduced artificial intelligence technology in recent years, including Automatic order dispatch, speech semantic recognition and even emotion perception. In the past, it took several minutes to dispatch an order, but now it takes a few seconds.
When artificial intelligence is combined with financial services, the audit and auditing departments of the banking industry can more effectively avoid financial risks. At the Minglue Technology booth, a set of risk audit platform system based on the knowledge graph was "watched" by many visitors. After some operations by the staff, the problems of non-compliance with the use of credit funds and doubtful repayment ability were clearly in the knowledge graph. display. Pan Zongwei, technical director of the Financial Business Unit of Minglue Technology, told reporters that the rapid development and application of big data technology has made correlation graph analysis an important means of bank risk management. On the basis of the knowledge graph database, an audit data mart is established. The audit department can standardize the accounting data to ensure the integrity, accuracy and truthfulness of the information and data, and intervene in advance to avoid risks.
Thanks to the support of algorithms, computing power, data, and application scenarios, artificial intelligence has shifted from the laboratory stage to the industrial production stage, and has gradually entered thousands of industries, serving the masses in a silent place.
