On July 20th, Lenovo was held in the Shanghai World Expo Center with the "Let's Full of AI" theme (Lenovo Tech World), which is both Beijing and San Francisco, and Lenovo's third-time innovation science and technology conference, this year The theme is also particularly clear, almost completely focused on the AI field.
As a "show muscle" conference, Lenovo will release black technology products during Tech World. For example, with folded projections, smart sports shoes concept, this year's smart speaker Smartcast, "repair plane" AR glasses, smart heart coat Smart Vest and other products have also played the same effect, and successfully attracted the attention of participants.
This series behind Lenovo even wants to convey the value of AI behind the products of different users and the use scenario.
At today's conference, Lenovo announced its layout and strategy in the AI field. Including Lenovo Group Chairman and CEO Yang Yuanqing, China President Liu Jun and other senior high-managed bean, can't wait to show its layout and achievements in the field of Ai, even Jingdong CEO Liu Qiangdong, and the founder Li Bin, founder, also pulled Come on the scene, tell the story that combines how the industry and the AI are in our own industries.
Put a driver of AI as the fourth industrial revolution
As the first speech of the whole conference, Yang Yuanqing's imaginary investment in the virtual characters, introduces the newly developed smart speakers in their own, this year, the highest level of attention is the hardware product of "Ai" label, Yang Yuanqing Opening seems to pass a signal, "The product Lenovo in others is also doing, and it is not behind."
Yang Yuanqing said in the opening speech that artificial intelligence is closely combined with our actual life in an unprecedented range, and quickly penetrates all walks of life, while Lenovo is also clear.
"Lenovo's mission, is to be this round of" AI-driven intelligent transformation ", the promoter and en functioning, and through the 'equipment + cloud', 'infrastructure + cloud' provides users with more intelligent services", Yang Yuanqing said.
The energy brought by AI is huge. I can't imagine unmanned cars five years ago. I can't imagine Super Computer Eugene Gusteman three years ago. I can't imagine Alpha dog a year ago. Being able to overcome the top-level human play masters, all this has become a reality.
Yang Yuanqing infiltrated the confidence of AI's future development in the words of the speech. He has described the current AI industry than the original power of the industrial revolution. "Just like the first industrial revolution, electricity in the second industrial Revolution, digitized in the third industrial revolution, the current AI is triggeting the fourth industrial revolution. "
AI three major elements: algorithm, big data, calculation
Specifically, Lenovo's artificial intelligence strategy will force in three directions, namely intelligent terminal, smart cloud platform and intelligent service, and its development is inseparable from the three major elements of AI: big data, calculation and algorithm Joint action.
Dr. Lenovo and CTO, Dr. Qi Yong, metaphor for these three elements as a car, "Algorithm is engine; big data is oil, providing power; calculation is the wheel, drive wheel advancement. Three elements are missing."
algorithm. Lenovo has two main points in algorithms: first is the advantage of talent, more and more world-class experts join, have a very energetic talent reserve; followed by cooperation with various vertical industries to improve various algorithms.
data. Lenovo is the largest manufacturing enterprise data cluster in China, with more than 12PB data, this data is second only to BAT; at the same time, Lenovo has 9 data centers around the world, more than 2,000 servers. The amount of data added daily than 30TB is more than 30TB, and the data processed daily more than 15 billion.
Calculate. The most important thing is to calculate the framework in the era of distributed systems. In this regard, the advantages of Lenovo mainly give full play to the ability of system manufacturers in hardware and software, providing software and hardware global optimization solutions, and the bottom layer can integrate GPU / FPGA, etc., on the algorithm framework, support large-scale parallelism Trained AI platform.
It can be seen that Lenovo actually does not focus only on the terminal field, in the first few years of strategic layout, some are achieved by acquisition, some relying on their own research and development, although these accumulations can not fully function, but it Will let Lenovo next to the AI strategy look more.
A large Boss and black technology new product strike
1, the world's first visual identification smart speaker Smartcast +
At the conference, Lenovo launched a smart speaker SmartCast + of the world's first object recognition ability, which enables the AR experience, which is a 2.0 version of Lenovo smart speakers.
In addition to the common voice interaction services, multiple functions such as object recognition, Ar, image feedback are added, allowing AI technology to extend from the sound level to the image, interaction, and identification.
At the scene, Dr. Qi Yong and the 9-year-old child, interacted with the smart speaker +. Li Yanxi, a bear, a bear, a smart speaker + through object identification, immediately projecting a corresponding Ar three-dimensional image, the bear horse can move, the effect is comparable to "God Ma Liang".
Outside the above functions, smart speakers SmartCast + also enrich the knowledge base in children's education. It can better help children and adolescents in the ages to improve their ability to achieve knowledge.
In the meeting, Yang Yuanqing called 80 points to this smart speaker. He revealed to the media. When the Amazon's first generation Echo was introduced, the associated project was launched inside, and the planned interactive screen was placed at the time. This is not intensive with Amazon Echo Show, but the way Smartcast + projection is obviously more radical.
2, all-in-one mixed realistic smart glasses
DayStar Morning Star is an all-in-one mixed realistic smart glasses that Lenovo independently developed. It adopts large-view field angle free surface optical technology, built-in independent computer vision processing unit. Customized depth cameras fit the IMU multi-sensor array to support natural gestures interactive, high-precision real-time SLAM and three-dimensional object recognition.
The whole machine is integrated, there is no need for additional wiring or connecting to the computer, can meet the users in various scenarios. Its operational way includes machine key operation, natural gesture operation, and voice interaction, which provides AR services such as cloud object identification, remote interaction assistance, multi-user interaction, and 3D content scan, editing, management.
At the meeting, the Dean of the Lenovo Shanghai Institute, Mao Shijie used the Morning Star AR technology program to "truly aircraft". He scanned and identifies aircraft engine through DayStar, understands the type and name of the aircraft, and then connects the engine's maintenance data to the cloud service platform, and uses mixed realistic technology to superimpose relevant information on real objects. Engineers are very intuitive positioning failures and prompting repair methods.
At present, the industry application solutions developed by Lenovo Mor Morning Star AR equipment and cloud platform are deployed in digital literature, industrial training, aviation maintenance. In addition, it can be applied to widgets such as smart medical, intelligent security, intelligent guidelines, and help national industrial 4.0 strategies.
Maintain core advantages and cultivate new non-PC services
From the schedule, health monitoring of intelligent Internet services, smart service robots, intelligent service robots, from AR remotely, from traditional infrastructure, to artificial intelligent driving technology + cloud, industry solution, Lenovo is Increase investment in the AI field with practical actions.
As early as the PC era, Lenovo has always taken two legs to walk the strategy - ie 2B and 2C business parallel, existing consumer computers also have commercial computers. In turn, see a series of products and strategies at the conference today, AI era Lenovo still wants to continue this logic to achieve a relatively wide industrial layout.
As a few companies in the world, they also have front-end equipment, service, and have the benefits of the relatively closed-loop ecology for AI.
Lenovo Group CTO Quan Yong said, "Lenovo sells 150 million equipment every year, the front-end device represents the entrance, there is a user, and any information feedback from the user can help artificial intelligence has more data to learn, after learning There are infrastructure, faster, and the quality of service is getting better and better. In the past, it promotes more equipment, which forms a closed loop system. "
For AI's application, the continuous iterative upgrade is critical, and Lenovo is a few companies that have turned close to the closed loop. In Lenovo's executive eyes, this is a very core advantage.
The big direction of AI is clear, but it doesn't mean that there is a core advantage on the one hand, and on the other hand, I also have some choices and hits when developing new business.
Yang Yuanqing said in an interview with the media: "Everything is definitely a big direction, and there will be a lot of intelligent terminals in the future, but it is not necessarily very large, it is possible to have a large scale is the three categories of computers, mobile phones, TV, TV. Maybe like a smart sound, another category is AR and Ai future will become a new computing platform. "
Take today's smart speaker Smartcast, in the show, the interactive experience is very smooth, with Lenovo's technical accumulation is not big, but how to accurately grasp the user needs, and selectively The laboratory's AI results are converted to the product. Lenovo next needs to accelerate the progress.
