CES is almost completely a show of artificial intelligence, does it mean that artificial intelligence has been near?
Although Alphago and Master are more or less mixed with the ingredients of marketing, artificial intelligence has successfully attracted the Volkswagen 's sight. Especially after 2016, the third "first year", and artificial intelligence related products, services, from the industry, etc., which is difficult to count, which is showing in the CES 2017.
Dating back to 1967 The first CES exhibition in 1967, 50 years witnessed electronic products that lead the trend, and is therefore referred to as a wind direction of consumer electronics. Then, from 2016 small test cattle knife, in 2017, CES almost completely became artificial intelligence show, does it mean that artificial intelligence has been approaching?
Artificial intelligence occupation CES, who is behind the scenes?
This year's CES exhibition has attracted more than 4,200 exhibitors, only 1314 technology companies only. As a global technological event, CES is undoubtedly an indispensable opportunity to uncomfortable technology, even if it is from marketing perspectives, it is also a good chip. In these artificial intelligence exhibitors, it can be roughly divided into three categories, namely artificial intelligence systems, artificial intelligence products and artificial intelligence services.
The artificial intelligent operating system can be said to be a new face on the CES. From 2015, players, including Google, Facebook, Microsoft, aimed at the artificial intelligence system, but all the definitions of the artificial intelligent operating system have different. As Zakberg wants to build a class such as Jaweis in "Iron Man", Google's Tensorflow puts the focus in deep learning, and the microsoft of Microsoft, which has been red is also evolved, scenes. It is quite similar to the movie "she". On this year's CES, Baidu released the secret upgrade version, and named Dueros, it seems intentional to understand "artificial intelligence operating system". At the same time, Ali's Yunos also landed this year, and artificial intelligence is also a highlight of its main. In addition, entrepreneurs such as Tulex robots, bamboo intelligence technology are also aimed at this area.
Compared to the artificial intelligent operating system, dazzling artificial smart products is the highlights of CES. It is possible to benefit from the inspiration of technology trends. A few years ago, the intelligent hardware of the flowers in a few years ago, the artificial intelligent coat appeared on CES, such as smart mattress, smart sound, etc., on the basis of the network, mobile control, etc. Machine learning, speech recognition, etc. becomes a new description. It is not exaggerated that the white electric products in the CES are almost all embracing artificial intelligence, such as Samsung's QSmart, Haier's Smart Life, LG's SmartThinkq, Changhong's Smart Service, TCL's Aixperience, Creative and millet more simultaneously. Smart home concept. These phenomena are also the cause of the media to get artificial intelligence is about to come out.
Of course, in addition to the system and products, there is still a field that doesn't have so many ambitions, that is, artificial intelligence services. For example, this year's CES is called an excellent product's AiPoly Vision, which is achievable to make mobile phones to identify thousands of objects, and help vision disabilities in real time to get peripheral information. There is a saying that consumer electron is changing from the product to the service, which is visible in some Internet giants. Take "artificial intelligence" as an example, Amazon launched Amazon ML, Google's RankBrain search algorithm. There are also similar products in China. NetEase Easy Shield has created anti-waste cloud service with artificial intelligence algorithm. Ali Cloud's ET has been opened to cloud computing customers ... These seemingly artificial intelligent service industries that seem to be B-Duan market have become aus The invisible power is not there.
It is not difficult to find that manual intelligence has been mapped in CES, which is changing some industries, almost all small and famous technology companies, well-known universities have become the backbone in this trend. CES also reflects such a fact that artificial intelligence is becoming a new wind in the eyes of entrepreneurs, choosing to contribute to financing and spread in CES.
In fact, from the annual emerging technological maturity curve released last year, such as machine learning, intelligent robots, automatic driving vehicles, etc. are still in the expected expansion period. That is to say that artificial intelligence is so prosperous, or it is still uncertain. The lifting of CES proves that artificial intelligence is commercially successful, and it needs further discussion.
Artificial intelligence, behind, virtual and true and false
In the nearly two years of technology report, deep learning, computer vision, speech recognition, natural language processing, etc., the literary and classics see the vocabulary of the head. It seems that these nouns can highlight a leader of products, and less these modifications will be strange. For the virtuality of artificial intelligence, the judgment of the true and false, it is necessary to think about two issues below.
First, artificially intelligent monopoly.
This requires two aspects to discuss, namely the technical monopoly and data monopoly. Although the US technology giants are in the forefront of artificial intelligence, these technologies have not delivered to China and other competitive market at this stage. Even in the domestic market, Ali, Baidu, Netease, etc. also succeed in artificial intelligence, such as Ali ET, Baidu brain, Netease, etc., these products or services are open to developers in the form of API, and covering face recognition , Machine translation, voice interaction, etc., it is only the result of the output rather than the process, and the developer plays the contributor of the product's user and data. From a certain extent, artificially intelligent competition is only a game between giants.
The monopoly in the data is more severe. Most of the so-called artificial intelligence technology is based on algorithms, and the algorithm is designed, as long as it can attract high-efficient intelligent technology talents, technical thresholds are not unresolved. Reality is, artificially intelligent self-learning is inseparable from massive data, and the Internet giants have undoubtedly have a congenital advantage in data, which is also the reason why many companies can last. Of course, you can also solve data problems by purchasing or working in the form of industry, and the cost being borne directly determines the competitiveness of the product. From this point, the largest market for entrepreneurs in the artificial intelligence is still the end product.
In conjunction with the phenomenon on the CES, there is no shortage of Internet giants at the artificial intelligence system, while Samsung, Haier and other product type companies are the faithfulness of artificial intelligence products, and artificial intelligence services become the market of entrepreneurs and giants. In the future, this monopoly will be more obvious.
Second, the paradox of technology and business.
The technical commercialization is unable, even the birth of technology is to make more wealth, and artificial intelligence is also facing profitable issues. When artificial intelligence comes to the critical point of emergence, a problem that is the company's high-level or investor is bound to think.
The survey results show that the profit or foreground optimistic AI entrepreneurial project has three common points, namely, to enclose controlled scenes, assist human completion of repetitability specific work, and achievable entry points. Perhaps only to meet these conditions, you can truly ushered in the diligence of making money, but in these areas are not lacking. It is like in the financial sector, according to Li Kai Fu, "Algorithm can immediately become a money", poured into another group of artificial intelligence practitioners, intelligent, risk forecast, knowledge map, smart customer service, etc.
One of the positive, the technology of commercialization is greatly driven by artificial intelligence. From the intelligent robot to unmanned driving, the use of artificially smart products on various vertical industries, and there is no relationship with it. The unfavorable side is that there is no more than 99% and 97% of the recognition accuracy of the giants, Ali, Baidu, Netease, etc., and many entrepreneurial teams are still around 80%. Do not exclude possible possible to rapidly in the commercial level.
In addition, the value of artificial intelligence is by no means revolutionary subversive, but the impact of progressive. There are hardware, services, and content, etc., if the user experience is not optimized, the so-called artificial intelligence is likely to be the next smart bracelet.
In general, during the evolution of the 60 years of artificial intelligence, every outbreak is the result of the rise of technology, and the prosperity of the business level is not exempt from the critical point. The rational growth route should be the explosive of the proven drive business of the technology, not the commercial airproofed technology.
