What kind of empowerment will the AI on the tuyere bring to China's development?
People are looking for answers.
In the overall development of the new infrastructure, in the implementation of projects of many AI companies such as Baidu, in the sub-scenarios of smart transportation, smart medical, smart city, etc., people are eager to explore the technical value and application potential of AI, especially In terms of industrial development, the technological empowerment of AI is even more expected to accelerate industrial development and promote industrial transformation.
The answer is gradually becoming clear.
A few days ago, a series of "Amazing China AI" videos have been widely circulated on the Internet and caused heated discussions among netizens.
The video focus shows the results of the deep integration of China’s AI technology with various industries such as agriculture, manufacturing, energy, and smart driving. It presents the application of AI projects by Baidu and other high-tech companies in key industries, giving people a better understanding of China’s AI A clearer understanding of strength also indicates that China's industrial development is entering a transitional period of alternating new and old momentum.
1. From artificial to artificial intelligence, the "people" who carry the banner of China's industrial development are different
The era has entered the stage of intelligence and digitization, and the replacement of old and new kinetic energy in the industry has become the general trend.
The alternation of new and old kinetic energy is a long-term stage of development and change of Chinese industry in the past few decades. This series of videos shows the "great Chinese AI", but it is actually an amazing Chinese struggler in all walks of life.
What impressed and moved the author the most was the struggle of the older generation of Chinese.
The gray shots do not require other decorative embellishments. The video in the "Energy" section records the struggle experience of the older generation of Chinese in the past. They carried out China's first oil field, carried out the first Sichuan-Tibet railway, and carried out a power grid with stable transmission across the country.
The five-character summary of "Chinese, Can Carry" was magnified in front of the screen.
Yes, the Chinese can carry it, they carry the banner of the development of Chinese industry.
In the past, China's industry, without the blessing of much advanced science and technology, relied on a pair of hands and thick shoulders to artificially carry the great cause of development, and carried out a continuously strong China.
If a country is to be strong, the development of its industry must not be stagnant.
Of course, with the advent of the intelligent and digital age, we may also be able to see that in some industrial fields, the trend of machines replacing humans or intelligent assisting humans is becoming more and more significant.
In the records of the "Amazing China AI" series of videos, the Tiangong platform operates at all times and monitors the temperature of equipment in real time, which has the ability to free manpower from repetitive labor; Baidu AI intelligently monitors the drilling depth and proves the water To ensure the safety of manual operations, the auxiliary value of AI is being further presented, and so on.
It is not difficult to notice that with the addition of AI, the development of China's industry is entering a more efficient and precise stage. If China’s industrial development in the past was a single generation of people’s battles, then the transformed Chinese industry will now be assisted by humans and AI.
"The future is strong, let's carry it together." In the video, "we" records the older generation of strugglers and also brings out a new generation of AI technology.
However, this is not just "them". Behind the scenes of AI technology, there are a group of scholars, experts, enterprises and organizations specializing in scientific research and application.
Under the banner of China's industrial development, they are also struggling. Perhaps, different from people's perception, they are not like older generations and smart working machines, but they use the power of knowledge and scientific research to support the scene of AI application. They still cannot be ignored behind the scenes.
This is the road of struggle for AI and AI experts, scholars, companies, and organizations in the new era.
They seem to be different from the older generation of fighters. However, in the overall situation of the development of China’s industry, they are all standing at the node of the times, promoting the development and transformation of the industry, contributing their own strength with a heart of innocence, carrying the banner of development, and carrying out more A strong China.
Here, the author is moved again.
2. What is the focus of the technological power to achieve "China Speed"?
Over the years, China's industrial development has been attracting attention, and the reputation of "China Speed" has spread like wildfire.
China's speed was created artificially by the older generation with their hands. In the next stage, if China is to move faster and break through the upper limit of manpower in the past, the empowerment of science and technology must be indispensable.
In other words, China's speed depends on manpower in the past and technology in the future.
This is also the reason why my country has been emphasizing the "power of science and technology" since entering the new era.
However, how does the technology powerhouse practice? In the "Amazing China AI" series of videos, using the empowering application of this new technology of AI as an entry point, the author saw three focal points.
1. New technologies are sinking, and China's AI specializes in applications and is better than applications
The application of AI is the highlight of the "Amazing China AI" series of videos. In the video, we can see how multiple AI technologies empower machines, integrate and develop with the industry, and thus bring more efficient and faster operations. Obviously, how science and technology make a country strong, the focus is on application.
From the perspective of the development of AI, China's AI specializes in applications, but also stronger than applications. From Sullivan's AI report at the beginning of the year, it is not difficult to conclude that although China's AI still has a gap with the United States as a whole, based on the good domestic application environment, China's AI has more application space, and the smart economy is continuously transforming and developing.
Chinese AI companies are really keen on this, and they often see the layout of application fields. Take Baidu as an example. Xiaodu for smart terminals and Apollo for smart transportation all have their counterparts. Popular areas such as smart cities, smart finance, smart healthcare, smart manufacturing, smart energy, etc. are all key scenarios anchored by Baidu’s artificial intelligence. , Becoming the base of new models such as smart transportation, smart city, smart energy, etc.
It is precisely by focusing on the application of these scenarios that the sinking of technology shows the value of the economy and even the value of promoting social development. This may also be the transformation that the technological powers are looking forward to.
2. In a market-oriented industrial environment, the power of enterprises is further released
The new technology sinks into the scene, then who will pave the way and become the exporter of industrial value? Obviously, relying solely on the government to promote it is difficult to sustain.
In the "Great China AI" series of videos, companies are becoming another bright spot. For example, many cases in the video are from Baidu, the current domestic AI leader. Intelligent visual inspection, visual recognition and other technologies used in agricultural production, parking lots, and aerial work scenes all come from Baidu AI.
It has to be said that in the current gradual market-oriented industrial environment, the trend of enterprises to promote technology research and development and application, and then to promote industrial development across borders is becoming more and more obvious.
From Baidu’s point of view, Baidu Smart Cloud’s “smart manufacturing” has been successfully implemented in 14 sub-sectors and more than 50 customers. At the same time, it has reached cooperation with the State Grid and China Southern Power Grid, and has successfully achieved coverage of more than 40,000 transmission lines. Intelligent monitoring. It is reported that in this cooperation, Baidu Smart Cloud has discovered more than 2,000 hidden dangers, replacing more than 70,000 kilometers of energy lines with manual inspections every day, and so on.
The advancement of technology promotes the development of the industry through the path of the market, thereby achieving a country's strength. As the main body of the market, enterprises should be the most critical link in this path. Nowadays, in the wave of new technologies, technology companies are attracting attention, and they are the trendsetters, such as Baidu's AI, Huawei's 5G, and Ali's big data.
It can be said that if the country is to become a technological power, it must be guided by an industrial power, and the power of enterprises needs to be released urgently.
3. From people to talents, the foundation of a technological power is the talent base
When we focus on the development process of AI, it may not be difficult to notice that the development of this new technology pays more attention to the cultivation of talents than ever. It may be clearer to think about the path of a technological power in this way. Talent is the focus and core.
Returning to the AI field, in contrast to the AI strengths of China and the United States, American talents have always been an important factor leading China's AI industry. At present, China's outstanding talents in the field of AI are still less than one-fifth of that of the United States. According to data, the proportion of outstanding talents in the United States is as high as 17.1%, while China's only 5.4%.
In China, it is the consensus of the industry to attach importance to AI talent training. For Baidu, in the past period of time, it has successively released the "Dawn Plan" for AI science education for teenagers; the PPDE program for developers and the "Star Project" developer exploration fund; the development of a full-cycle service system for developers' growth, etc. .
Through the actions of domestic AI companies such as Baidu, we are all aware of a significant signal-it is AI that supports the "great Chinese AI", and it is the talents who focus on AI research and development.
Talents are the foundation of a powerful country in science and technology, and building a good talent base will be the key to future industrial intelligence. To transform the industry, this must be a "qualitative change" competition from people to talents.
3. To take over the next era of China’s industrial development, technology companies take up the banner of AI
The transformation of industry belongs to the development of social transformation. A series of modules such as talents, enterprises, markets, and industrial models are all facing new changes.
Today, the new infrastructure is in full swing. Standing on the cusp of new infrastructure construction, it is precisely a group of technology companies that are gradually emerging in new fields, new technologies, and new applications.
In the field of AI, Baidu is one of the leaders. With the gradual and profound development of new infrastructure, we can see that Baidu AI is becoming the thickest artificial intelligence infrastructure, delivering new momentum for industrial transformation and transformation to all walks of life, becoming intelligent transportation, smart city, smart energy, and smart travel Wait for the base of the new model.
It is true that the development of China's industry is turning to intelligence and digitization, and the next era will be reached. The value and role of technology companies cannot be ignored. Baidu AI has become more and more profound in the enabling value of industrial development through the integration of cross-industry and other industries, and it is leading domestic development in the fields of smart interaction, smart travel, and smart cars.
The value of the enterprise is further presented under the application of technology.
When we clearly realize how much new technology has accelerated industrial development, it is not difficult to find that the breakthrough of "China Speed" is even more inseparable from the development of technology companies.
