Zhang, chairman of Microsoft Asia-Pacific Research and Development Group, presented a point

Recently, Microsoft Asia-Pacific Research and Development Group chairman Zhang put forward a point of view: Artificial Intelligence era has come, the future of artificial intelligence will be more than human intelligence. The following are the main points of Dr. Zhang:

1, classification of artificial intelligence. According to the form can be divided into operating layer, perceptual layer and cognitive layer.

Among them, the operating layer is the most easy to complete the part, at present most of the industrial robots can be achieved in lieu of most of the manual labor performance, and even in many ways than humans.

There are many cases in IT industry. For example, Foxconn, a global foundry, appears to have a large number of robotic arms. According to Foxconn boss Terry Gou, 1 million robots will be launched. Compared with ordinary employees, intelligent robot is more cost-effective.

The perceptual layer and the cognitive layer have a certain difficulty for the enterprise. Among them, the perceptual layer is the human use of visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory and other sensory information through a variety of sensors into the signal transmission to the computer processing; the cognitive layer is a special way of thinking about human thinking, decision making and the human brain.

2, in the research aspect of artificial intelligence, Microsoft small ice and Cortana are the representative.

Small ice is a Microsoft virtual robot, behind a large data, cloud computing, machine learning and deep neural network technology system in support. Of course, Zhang said, this is only a phased achievement, small ice IQ is equivalent to a child.

In fact, in addition to small ice, Microsoft is still experimenting with other AI projects, such as multimedia intelligent Retrieval technology, a new generation of natural language and voice technology, machines can understand the human face, identify the human voice, so as to make appropriate response.

3, the Internet Physical development of industry trends, robots more than human not impossible

Zhang that the robot's specialty is computational ability and storage capacity, but the lack of thinking ability. By using large data to induce information and to simulate human thinking through operations, robots are more and more close to being smarter than humans without considering costs.

In the course of the Internet physics, the intelligence of the machine is learning with the big data and the widespread sensor, the future machine's intelligence will certainly surpass the human, will be able to see this scene in the next 20-30 years.

However, for robots beyond human This topic, Zhang that artificial intelligence is created by human technology products, human beings will control, and use the technology of this product.

Summary: The first 30 years of the Internet and the last 30 years

Zhang that the internet has now been 30 years of history, summed up this 30 there are actually only two things, one is the digital one is it. For the past 30 years, people have turned everything into numbers, music, images, words, and industrial processes have turned it into digital. Now start to the next 30 years is the reverse process, is the Internet technology, digital virtual world into the physical, physics. And this is the 30 years after the use of various technologies, large data to achieve the era of artificial intelligence.
