Chapter 908 World Artificial Intelligence Conference

Auston reported back what happened in the UK and returned to the United States on September 5. At the airport, Auston met Xiao Boshi who came to see him off.

Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, Xiao Bozhike politely came to see him off, and Auston also politely expressed his gratitude, "Mr. Xiao has a heart."

"Mr. Alston, there is something I hope you can convey to me."

"What words?"

"If you are willing to cooperate, our Dafeng Group can give you a step up for the benefit of the whole world."

Auston looked at Xiao Boshi suspiciously, "What does Mr. Xiao mean by that?"

"I believe that Mr. Auston must understand." Xiao Bozhi deliberately did not go on, let Auston think about it slowly.

Seeing Xiao Boshi's attitude, Auston really didn't want to ask further questions, so he returned home with doubts, Xiao Boshi watched Auston leave, and said slowly, "I have already told you this."

At the beginning of September, while Xiao Boshi was busy in England, Meng Qian was "trapped" in Hangzhou because he had to promote the Asian Games.

Hangzhou officially took over the 2022 Asian Games, and Meng Qian became one of the publicity ambassadors.

From September 2nd, Meng Qian was pulled from time to time to do some publicity for the Asian Games and Hangzhou.

Such a free top streamer is here, and Hangzhou City is useless.

It was not until September 15 that Meng Qian finally left Hangzhou and came to Shanghai to prepare for the World Artificial Intelligence Conference the day after tomorrow.

This is the first World Artificial Intelligence Conference led by Huaxia. Compared with another time and space, the scale is larger and the influence is greater. Almost all multinational technology companies with names and achievements in the field of artificial intelligence have arrived at the scene .

At the beginning of the conference, some industry data were announced first.

According to market data forecasts so far, the global artificial intelligence market size in 2018 is about 238.9 billion soft sister coins, exceeding the 119 billion soft sister coins in another time and space.

In addition, as of August 2018, there were a total of 3,627 artificial intelligence companies in the world, more than 1,000 more than another time and space. China ranked first with 1,412 companies, and the United States ranked second with 1,378. It was followed by the United Kingdom, Israel and Canada.

Of course, companies that can be counted meet certain basic standards. If you want to count start-up companies with three or five people, it must not be this number.

"The development of artificial intelligence is almost covered by the two countries of Huami." Looking at the data, many people discussed at the scene.

"Now I don't know which of Huami and Huami is more advanced in development. Just looking at this number doesn't seem to tell much."

"It should be Huaxia. After all, deep learning was proposed by Meng Qian. The advantage of Dafeng Group is obvious."

"Artificial intelligence involves a wide range of industries. Dafeng Group must be the leader among enterprises, but I don't know what level other Chinese enterprises are at now."

"I always feel that this conference will make everyone understand."

After reading the data, Mr. listened to a few lectures, and then participated in the exhibition freely.

To put it bluntly, the lecture in the morning was a more detailed market analysis of artificial intelligence, and it mainly focused on applications and general AI technologies.

In terms of application, AI currently has four major application areas and ten trending application areas.

The four major application areas are intelligent driving, smart home, service robots and mobile devices. These are the four areas where the development of artificial intelligence is currently the most popular and the technology is relatively more mature.

The top ten trending application areas include finance, security, medical care, education, entertainment, retail, construction, law, recruitment and news industries.

As for general AI technology, there are currently four major directions, namely computer vision, intelligent voice, natural language processing and machine learning.

After listening to the lecture, I started to participate in the exhibition freely. A total of 675 companies participated in the exhibition this time, which is also far beyond another time and space, and more than half of them are Chinese companies.

People in the venue walked around and had a look, and chatted a few words from time to time.

"As expected of the home field, the World Artificial Intelligence Conference is held like the China Artificial Intelligence Exhibition." An exhibitor from the United States joked somewhat.

A Huaxia exhibitor at the side heard it and couldn't help answering, "Although that's the case, but if you talk about it from the application level, now the whole world is Huaxia's home field."

"That's up for debate."

"Of course what I said is not authoritative, but you can read this."

"This is?"

"Here you can query more detailed global artificial intelligence data, and the data reports of hundreds of authoritative organizations are here.

Take intelligent driving as an example. Data reports from dozens of authoritative organizations in the world are integrated here. Take a look at the comprehensive ranking.

In the current global intelligent driving rankings, Dafeng Group ranks first, Yinghaiwei ranks second, and GM ranks third. Moreover, from the perspective of comprehensive indicators, it can be said that there are only these three truly intelligent driving giants in the world. . "

"Google's Waymo actually ranks seventh, so it's not as good as Baidu?" Mifang exhibitors felt a little unbelievable.

"Don't look down on Baidu. Baidu has grown very fast since working with Ying Haiwei. On the contrary, it's good that Google is alive now."

"I heard that American officials have already transferred the investment in autonomous driving from Google to Apple." Someone beside him participated in the conversation.

"No wonder Apple wants to build a car. It turns out that there is such a relationship behind it."

"Apple is also on the ranking list, ranking sixth. Among the fourth to tenth places, American companies account for four seats. Sure enough, this is completely Huami's battlefield." A Huaxia beside the Mifang exhibitor The partner probably saw some emotions of the other party, so he said so.

"That's right, the top three giants, Huaxia occupies the first two seats, the United States occupies one seat, and the next seven seats, China occupies two, and the United States occupies four. In the field of intelligent driving, American companies still have some opportunities, at least better than the United States. Several other application areas are doing better."

"What do you mean by that?" Everyone could hear the tone of the words.

"What do I mean, you can see for yourself. The global rankings of smart homes, service robots and mobile devices are all here."

"The world's top ten service robots, China has three companies, the United States has only one iRobot, the world's top ten smart home rankings, China has five companies, the United States has only Crestron and Honeywell, the world's top ten mobile smart devices, China There are eight companies, almost killing the list.”

"The performance of Huaxia enterprises in the entire artificial intelligence application layer is really outstanding." Several exhibitors from Europe couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

However, the Mifang exhibitors felt uncomfortable, "Huaxia companies are indeed powerful in application development, but they have to admit that China has inherent advantages. The huge market has given Huaxia companies several times the room for experimentation in other countries. This comprehensive index One of them is the market share, who can compare with Huaxia in the market?!"

"The Huaxia market is huge, but the Huaxia market is open to the whole world. If the products are not excellent, Huaxia users can choose overseas brands."

"this"

Seeing that everyone was fighting each other, someone on the side changed the topic and said, "The structure of the application layer is relatively clear. I don't know how the general AI technology is. Judging from today's exhibition, it seems that Chinese companies have the upper hand."

"As far as I know, computer vision is Huaxia's biggest advantage. Recently, among the most influential technologies in the 21st century initiated by "Nature", Huaxia's computer vision has a very high vote rate. I really don't know about other fields."

"My friend, think about it carefully, why are Huaxia's smart cars developing so fast? Why is Ying Haiwei's car overtaking Tesla now?"

"Hiway Automobile. Smart Car Voice!"

"Yes, the biggest advantage of Ying Haiwei's car is the highly intelligent on-board smart assistant. The powerful American companies in natural language processing are not at the same level now."

"During the 2008 Olympic Games, Dafeng Group had already demonstrated the power of intelligent voice and natural language processing. At that time, Dafeng Group's intelligent translator became a hot product of the year.

That was ten years ago! "

"Look at this ranking list, Dafeng Group and HKUST Xunfei, the two companies in Huaxia are the top two in terms of intelligent voice and natural language processing."

During the one-morning exhibition, exhibitors from all over the world gradually felt the obvious advantages of Huaxia in the field of artificial intelligence application and general AI technology, which gave everyone a clearer understanding of the pattern of artificial intelligence.

When eating at noon, many people couldn't help becoming anxious.

"What's the agenda for the afternoon?"

"It seems to be the system and the underlying hardware."

Seeing the topic in the afternoon, many people in the industry were very sensitive, "Huaxia companies have already taken advantage of the application layer and the general AI technology layer. If they have an advantage in the system and underlying hardware, what about this industry?"

"Hurry up and eat, and grab a seat at the front after eating."
