2. What is artificial intelligence

prospect

In the process of learning, I often feel particularly puzzled. I don’t understand the meaning of some words I often touch, such as this artificial intelligence. This time I found a better explanation, let’s share it with you.

What is artificial intelligence

Wikipedia explains: "Artificial intelligence, also known as machine intelligence, refers to the intelligence manifested by machines made by humans." The more visionary and insightful answer is:

artificial intelligence = technology + application. Here, technology refers to those that can "make machines imitate the basic capabilities of humans". For example, if human eyes can see but traditional machines can’t, then we will develop “image recognition technology” so that machines can see; for example, if people can understand text but traditional machines cannot, then we will develop “natural language processing”. Technology" to allow machines to understand text.
Here, applications refer to all walks of life. All the places where the above technologies may be applied, such as: security, new retail, transportation, industry, etc.
This equation tells us: the same technology, applied in different fields, can create different social values; the same application scenario, with different technologies, can create social value in different ways.

Artificial intelligence ultimately entrusts machines or software to the things that only humans can do in the traditional sense, whether it is simple and tiring physical labor-perception and movement, or complex mental labor-reasoning, decision-making and learning. When completed, they will do as well as people, or even better than people.
Let's experience together how AI applies image recognition technology, GAN network, and natural language processing technology to all walks of life. For example: advertising industry, media industry, education industry, art creation industry, logistics industry and industrial industry have subverted the working methods of various traditional industries and eliminated repetitive labor!
Whether it is AI drawing, music making, writing, exams, scoring, express delivery, and unmanned workshops, all rely on the support of [technology], and the higher demand on [application] makes the technology iteratively optimized.

We explore the essence of AI from the application of artificial intelligence in traditional industries. In addition, we need to think about it. Using AI can save costs and increase efficiency. Which smart entrepreneur would not choose to use artificial intelligence? What about replacing human repetitive labor?
Artificial intelligence is not a distant concept. In the traditional sense, as long as humans can do, whether it is simple manual labor—information and exercise, or complex mental labor—reasoning, decision-making, and learning, they are all left to the machine. Or complete house arrest, they will do as well as people, or even better than people.

example

1. In CCTV-13's special report "Live the Yangtze River", the virtual host-"Kang Xiaohui" interacted with reporters and performed tongue twisters on the spot. The voice and image were lifelike.
2. At the 2017 Tencent Media+ Summit, Dreamwriter, a Tencent news writing robot, wrote 14 manuscripts at an average speed of 0.5 seconds for a single article.
3. Alibaba previously released an artificial intelligence designer named "Luban", which can make 8,000 posters per second on average, and completed 400 million design drawings during Double Eleven.
4. Computer vision technology can also be applied to agriculture. A drone equipped with a camera, with pesticides, walked between the fields. The computer is able to accurately identify weeds and crops through the exercise of massive picture recognition. The final effect is just like the most experienced old farmer. It is clear at a glance. Immediately afterwards, use precision spray nozzles to spray pesticides, only to weeds and avoid crops. In this way, 90% of the potion can be saved, and a large amount of pesticide pollution can be reduced. Then, use the precision spray nozzle to spray the pesticide, only to the weeds, and avoid the crops. This operation can save 90% of the potion and reduce a lot of pesticide pollution.
   
5. Products such as Tencent Miying are used for AI medical image analysis. In the early recognition of cancer, the ability of artificial intelligence to recognize films has exceeded that of human doctors.

What we need to care about

We don’t need to worry about losing our jobs because of artificial intelligence, but the questions you must be concerned about are:
1. How to adapt to the new environment?
2. How to embrace technology to find opportunities and create value?
3. How to take advantage of the technological wave in the era of artificial intelligence and the sharp edge of technology.
The answers to these questions are not unique. Everyone has their own answers. This will serve as an inspiration. If you think you have a good opinion, you may wish to comment below.

to sum up

Finally, I will summarize:
artificial intelligence = technology + application.
