2015 Geek Park Innovation Conference held in Beijing, the conference attracted a lot of technology talent, the participation of geeks, it is worth mentioning that Baidu CEO Robin Li also guest park, and share with the participants Baidu's technical beliefs. In fact, this is the third consecutive year of Li's participation in the event, which shows that Li is very willing to communicate and communicate with technical geeks, sharing the Internet industry's cutting-edge technology. So what did Robin Li say about the three-year-old conversation geek?
about technology: Baidu's technology belief
Three years and three times at the Geek conference, Robin Li did a lot of sharing, and there were many similarities, such as the belief in technology, which he emphasized at the three-year conference.
As early as 2013, Robin Li suggested that the true geek spirit was, "the faith of technology, the person who did achieve a situation of technical obsession, and his own mission may be to rely on these technologies to make changes in the world of products." ”
In the following 2014 also stressed that technology is the most important for Baidu, "for Baidu, our survival is the technology." ”
This year, Robin Li's exposition of technical beliefs is more profound, he said, "for Baidu, the first is the belief in technology." Over the past two years, I think the reason why Baidu is able to transition more successful, the most important one is that we always think that in the mobile internet era, technology is not become unimportant, but it becomes more important. ”
He also specifically shared Baidu's investment in technology. "Over the past two years, we have invested a lot in technology, including some long-term AI and deep-learning investments, including those already in the product, seen and used. Li believes that the investment in voice search, image search and other technologies has played a crucial role in the process of Baidu's transformation.
It is worth mentioning that, in 2014, Baidu's third-quarter net profit margin was 29%, compared with 53% for a two-year push forward. So what does Li think of it? He said that "in just two years, the decline in profit margins is so strong, which in fact shows a determination" it is clear that this spirit of sustained investment in technological innovation is rare in the internet industry.
Talk Now: Baidu's technical achievements
Li will be so in-depth exposition of Baidu's technical beliefs, because Robin Li is also a technical person, at his helm, Baidu established a technology-driven development route, in technology innovation, product innovation has won.
Li's assessment of Baidu's achievements in technology innovation is very high, he said, "Baidu in the past few years for artificial intelligence, deep learning investment is very resolute, very generous." We are also pleased to see that it has been very helpful in the existing business. ”
Of course, these technological innovations not only bring value to Baidu, but also bring value to users. "In the past, people could only search for information on Baidu, but now if I want to buy a movie ticket, where is the nearest movie theater, what movie is being shown, which ones are sold, which have not yet been sold, which I want to buy and pay directly, etc., all of these actions can be done in a Baidu app. These technological innovations have enabled users to rely more and more on Baidu in the mobile era, and on Baidu to get what they want, "says Li.
In Li's view, technological innovation is important, but technological innovation should ultimately translate into real productivity and economic value. These two years in the technology of the big investment in Baidu's smooth transition played a huge role, which also proves that in the mobile internet era, the intelligent era of technology will become more important.
Talk about the future: the Internet has a comprehensive coverage of social and economic impacts
In response to the Internet's future development, Li said: "The Internet's impact on the entire society or economy is comprehensive, almost entirely covered, and there are no dead ends." We see the early or last 15 years, slowly see the retail transfer to the Internet, the media increasingly internet, finance gradually began to accept the Internet. Next you see the service, and now we see a lot of companies doing it, including bat, but this is obviously just the beginning. ”
Among them, Li also takes the restaurant as an example, explains the internet to the traditional industry operation efficiency promotion, he said "the future can see in any industry, uses the Internet way to do again the efficiency will be promoted." This is the Internet's greatest contribution to human society. ”
I believe that the impact of the internet on the social economy is what Li has always believed. In 2014, he suggested that the Internet was accelerating the phasing out of traditional industries. "I have a judgment from my heart, which can be said to be a Chinese feature. In the United States we see this trend is not very obvious, the United States Internet as a new industry, along a relatively pure technology direction, continue to develop. And in the Chinese Internet in another direction in the development, in the whole industry to infiltrate. ”
To Geek: Know the technology and base on the ordinary user
As for the product manager and the geek, Robin Li spoke of his own views. "Both know the technology, have faith in technology, and take advantage of the power of technology while at the same time standing in the perspective of an ordinary user," Li said. I think this is not only the experience of Baidu's transformation over the past two years, but also the principle we have been insisting on for the past more than 10 years. "Robin Li has come up with the law of Baidu's technological innovation, and this will inspire the product manager and the Geek family," he said.
In the eyes of Robin Li, Internet technology is moving deeper and wider, the mobile internet has made great strides in the 2013, the Internet has made remarkable achievements in the transformation of traditional industries in the 2014, and AI will play a more important role in the 2015. By summarizing and analysing these technologies, Robin Li has also highlighted his own tendency to judge the Internet environment, believing that in the future, Baidu will gain even more impressive achievements by relying on its persistent belief in technology.
