IBM Wang on the future of computers: will be injected with more wisdom

Donews November 8 News (reporter Zhang) in http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/33721.html ">2014 year we conference, IBM global vice President Wang with" The future of the computer " Speaking for the title, he says the future of computers is to inject wisdom and cognition into the devices.

Wang the "Deep Blue" beat the Chess champion and the supercomputer Watson won the quiz as an example, the two computers were able to complete the challenge because they were injected with a lot of skills: natural language, question answering, high-performance computing, knowledge inference, and unstructured information.

In addition, Wang also sums up the entire history of human computing, the first stage is from 1900 to 1950, for the indicator system era, the robot will be digitally sorted and archived; The second stage is 1950 to 2011, the time of the programmable system, at this time the human machine language, with the language, the machine can run The third stage is 2011 years later, in the age of cognitive system, the machine represented by Watson has its own ability to learn and perceive the surroundings.

Although the current computer is strong enough, but also has limitations. Wang a picture, for example, it takes only a few seconds for a human brain to process a picture, and a computer takes a long time. Wang said that even though the supercomputer in the U.S. National Laboratory is 1500 times times slower than the human brain, there is still a big gap between technology and the human brain.

For the future of computer, Wang has many kinds of imagination, such as studying finance, medical treatment and so on. Data show that nearly 14 million people worldwide are suffering from malignant tumours, including 8.2 million deaths, 800 billion DNA base pairs analysis and 23 million related medical research data. "If computers can learn medicine, it will help humans have very healthy bodies," Wang said.

It is reported that Wang is currently the global vice president of IBM and China Development Center General manager, leadership at home and abroad research and development team, will be in our conference to share the latest operation of the artificial intelligence Waston. Compared with Google, Microsoft's AI, Waston from the hardware chip architecture began to simulate the human neuron, it can understand the natural language of mankind, but also through the data generation hypothesis, and the ability to learn from the constant.
