Why are tech so optimistic about AI?

BOAO Conference is the annual exchange of dignitaries and business leaders of the Congress, since the premier during the two sessions during the "Internet +", the attention of the Internet leader was put to the largest, this time Li, Bill Gates, Musk these three big gay dialogue in fact contains the significance of the future, and three big guys in the dialogue have shown a high degree of concern in the field of artificial intelligence.

Li is currently leading Baidu full force artificial Intelligence field, the establishment of Baidu young scientists "less handsome plan" full power smart voice, image recognition, Baidu Brain and other artificial intelligence fields, plus 2014 Google's first in-depth study of scientists Wunda to join, Baidu in artificial intelligence investment is the highest proportion of bat, Baidu in the field of artificial intelligence investment is at all costs.

Bill Gates has said before that if he does not retire to do charity will be to lead Microsoft to do artificial intelligence. In April 2014, Microsoft also launched the AI system Adam to challenge Google, to borrow artificial intelligence in the future back to the peak.

And Musk before the "demon AI" theory, fear of artificial intelligence to bring destruction, and this in the face, Musk from the heart also believe that the strong artificial intelligence.

At the meeting, Li once again raised the issue of artificial intelligence, Li said that more companies will be involved in the field of artificial intelligence, and Musk said he did not oppose the progress of artificial intelligence but that the artificial intelligence needs to be safe control, gates is also very much in favor of the development of artificial intelligence. Why are the big boys all good at the development of artificial intelligence? What is the logic behind this? Beyond the imagination of science fiction, we need to be closer to the logic of nature.

One, burst of large data urgently needed artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence development up and down many times, one of the "snub" is the technical problems of the neural network was put on hold, but to the recent artificial intelligence was again upgraded to the cusp, on the other hand from the artificial intelligence technology breakthrough, and on the other hand is the production of large data, massive data is emerging, And how to use this data to make more commercial landing is a priority for all industries, as Mr Ma says, we are transitioning from the IT era to the DT era, and in this new era, we face new challenges.

In pessimists ' eyes, the so-called big Data mining is just a copy of statistics, was put on the cloak, but it is not the case, the traditional statistics only provide results, to provide indirect decision-making, and artificial intelligence in addition to providing users with results, but also direct more decision-making, when the development of artificial intelligence more comprehensive, The more decisions will be made, the more permissions will be granted, and humanity will be freed from difficult decisions to do more.

Lei said, if the future of millet if not able to convert the user's data into commercial value, become a large data company, then Millet will face a huge loss of the crisis, while Ali side, recently finally disclosed its mysterious "IDST" department, also intended to this, and Baidu has already been in the layout of this piece.

Visible, regardless of domestic and foreign, great minds alike. To use the data, the ultimate development is artificial intelligence.

Second, the upgrading of the Internet of things requires artificial intelligence

There is no doubt that in the future everything will be networked, the connection between people is joining people and things, and the next step is the connection between things and things. For example, the automatic driving car on the road, you need highway surveillance system, other automatic car network, and so on, and control and coordination of all of these can only artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence will be automatic deployment, deal with a variety of unexpected events, etc., if there is no artificial intelligence, then automatic driving is empty talk

Musk Tesla's ultimate development trend is automatic driving, and Google Baidu and other giants are trying this field, so Musk's "demon AI" theory is undoubtedly the result of media hype, in fact, Musk is the most need artificial intelligence.

In addition to the case of self-driving cars, future networking will also include a variety of utensils, including refrigerators, washing machines, water cups and everything, and these networking products will monitor your journey and health in a comprehensive, and at this point to generate value from these data to provide you with more efficient services, healthier decisions, is doomed to be unable to leave artificial intelligence.

The essence of the Internet is the reintegration of idle resources, the integration of all walks of life is increasingly from people to artificial intelligence.

We look at the nature of artificial intelligence in a different way, people use all kinds of data to make efficient decisions, and the moment the internet is born means there will be all sorts of data pouring into the internet, and it is obviously impossible that humans want to use these exponential growth data to make more efficient decisions. At this time, AI will help people more and more liberate themselves, so that humans can engage in higher cognitive work. And three big guys are people who see through the essence, so there are very optimistic expectations of artificial intelligence, I believe that after a few decades we will look back and forth about the future dialogue must find that there is a more far-reaching significance.
