ZTE Vision Big Data Transfer: Recently, the French "Le Monde" published an article saying that the "Silicon Valley" of artificial intelligence may be settled in China, and China has the opportunity to become a leader in this field, because the speed of China's adoption of new technologies is too fast. To grasp artificial intelligence is to grasp the center of gravity of the new round of information technology revolution. In the new round of technological and industrial revolution that the world is experiencing, China, which seeks high-quality development through technological innovation, is gradually shifting from "following" to "running side by side" and even "leading" in some fields.

how convenient life is
The most intuitive manifestation of the application and implementation of artificial intelligence technology is to bring a lot of convenience to people's lives: intelligent voice service assistants to book hotels, self-driving cars on the road, face recognition to make violators nowhere to hide, intelligent logistics sorting Goods...

The data shows that some application technologies of artificial intelligence are rapidly maturing and have entered the practical stage. Artificial intelligence technologies represented by speech recognition and machine vision are rapidly maturing and reaching a practical level. Machine vision and intelligent voice have become the AI fields with the highest level of industrialization, and the number of companies and start-ups has grown rapidly.
"The application range of artificial intelligence is very wide now, and it can be said that it has become a part of our life." Zheng Nenggan, associate professor at the Qiushi Institute for Advanced Study, Zhejiang University, said that as long as it is necessary to use intelligence and deploy computing power, it can basically be used. See the shadow of artificial intelligence, and it is developing towards a wider and more intelligent trend of application. On well-defined problems, AI will be the first to apply it on a large scale and perform astonishingly. Artificial intelligence will also be very popular as an extension and auxiliary role of human intelligence, such as disease-aided diagnosis, intelligent transportation, and financial quantitative analysis.

Zhang Yaqin, president of Baidu, also believes that the application of artificial intelligence is more reflected in the "smart +" service level, making life more convenient and fun, saving time, liberating physical strength, and even in the future, machines will replace humans to perform some basic labor.
Enterprises grab high ground
In the high-tech industry, major giants are deeply wrestling in the artificial intelligence industry, vying for the commanding heights of technological development. Microsoft announced the establishment of a cloud computing and artificial intelligence platform division, Google announced that it would separate its artificial intelligence business from the search division, and Apple announced a high-profile announcement to welcome a new coach.
In addition to investing heavily in mining artificial intelligence talents, major companies have also set off a frenzy of acquisitions of artificial intelligence start-ups. The data shows that since 2012, more than 200 AI small companies focusing on different application fields have been acquired. Among them, the top ten technology companies in the world have accounted for half of the AI start-up acquisitions in the past five years. In 2017, acquisitions of AI startups increased by 44% .

A few days ago, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology released the "2018 Global Artificial Intelligence Industry Map", which analyzed the global artificial intelligence industry from the perspectives of industrial structure, industrial distribution, and enterprise distribution. The analysis believes that the popularity of the artificial intelligence industry has gradually increased, and the market size has continued to grow. It is mainly reflected in two aspects: on the one hand, innovation is active, scientific research institutions and enterprises accelerate the research and innovation of artificial intelligence, and the development of artificial intelligence is generally optimistic. On the other hand, technologies such as voice and vision have entered the commercial stage, driving the rapid growth of industrial scale.
It is worth mentioning that with the rapid emergence of innovative artificial intelligence enterprises, my country has become a highland for artificial intelligence development. At present, the power of artificial intelligence enterprises is constantly growing, and the number of new enterprises is growing rapidly, especially in the European and Asian markets. The number of artificial intelligence enterprises in my country has approached 1,500, ranking second in the global market and one of the highlands of global artificial intelligence development.
economic boost
Some experts believe that the current era of industrial revolution and information revolution is superimposed, and the intersection of these two revolutions is artificial intelligence.
"Artificial intelligence will have a profound impact on every industry and even everyone's life," said Li Deyi, president of the Chinese Society for Artificial Intelligence and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. He introduced that in the next three years, my country will carry out integrated innovation in six key industries including manufacturing, agriculture, logistics, finance, commerce, and home furnishing in accordance with the principles of "systematic layout, key breakthroughs, collaborative innovation, and openness and orderliness".
The data shows that from 2007 to 2016, my country accounted for nearly 20% of the global artificial intelligence papers, and the number of invention patents authorized in the world was second. In the past two years, the number of new artificial intelligence enterprises in my country has exceeded the total number of enterprises in the previous 10 years, and a number of leading and backbone enterprises have accelerated their growth.

"The digital transformation and development of the economy is the most typical sign of a new round of global technological and industrial revolution, and the most critical driving force comes from the innovation and breakthrough of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence. The digital economy is increasingly becoming the source of inclusive growth and sustainable development of the world economy. A new engine. Vigorously developing the digital economy has become a global consensus." Xin Guobin, Vice Minister of Industry and Information Technology, said that my country should seize the major opportunity of the rapid rise of the global digital economy and give full play to the advantages of a large market, large network and large manufacturing. , to promote the accelerated development of my country's manufacturing industry towards digitalization, networking, and intelligence, promote industrial integration and application innovation, and accelerate the realization of the historic transformation from a manufacturing power to a manufacturing power.
