Artificial intelligence and blockchain, as representatives of today's Internet trends, are quite eye-catching. Some people call it "productivity" and "production relationship" vividly, because artificial intelligence can optimize the allocation of social resources and improve production efficiency, while blockchain can establish a new basic law of trust.
So, what role does cloud computing, another major technology outlet, play in artificial intelligence and blockchain? Is it a trade-off or complement each other? The Think in Cloud 2018 (hereinafter referred to as "TIC 2018") conference on May 15 will interpret the interesting relationship between the three, and work with you to conceive and explore new application scenarios of cloud computing.
Is it difficult for AI to land? Cloud computing as an "accelerator"
The 60 years of artificial intelligence development have experienced ups and downs, and it is currently in the third wave, focusing more on the practical application of AI technology. Therefore, how to make it fast and efficient has become the primary challenge at present. "If artificial intelligence is regarded as a rocket, it needs three powers: one is data, the other is algorithms, and the third is computing power." Ye Lideng, director of research and development at UCloud Lab, once said.
Indeed, as the main platform for data storage and analysis, cloud computing has accumulated a huge amount of production and consumption data, which undoubtedly provides a nutrient-rich living soil for the implementation of AI technology.
As early as 2017, UCloud with a keen sense of smell proposed the "CBA" (Cloud, Bigdata, AI) trinity development strategy, and released the UAI (artificial intelligence) series of products, including ultra-high cost-effective GPU, UAI-Inference, UAI-Train and other AI products to build a one-stop AI full service. Among them, implementation is the core thinking of UCloud focusing on AI. At the TIC 2018 conference, Song Xiang, senior R&D engineer of UCloud, will talk about how to quickly implement AI applications through public cloud.
In addition, TIC 2018 will also invite a number of senior industry experts to bring wonderful sharing on AI landing and other content. For example, focusing on the field of AI education, the intelligent oral evaluation technology provides follow-up voice evaluation; the "Freetalk" type voice evaluation corrects students' oral pronunciation; intelligent composition correction provides grammar checking technology and other content. It is believed that wonderful landing examples will become the first step in the outbreak of artificial intelligence.
Is the blockchain platform in a security crisis? Cloud computing trusted escort
As we all know, blockchain is a form of distributed application, and cloud computing, as a general platform for infrastructure services, can support the development and deployment of distributed applications such as blockchain. In addition, what kind of connection can the two have, and what role can cloud computing play in the development of blockchain?
The most successful practice of blockchain is undoubtedly the innovation in the field of bookkeeping and transactions. Taking digital currency as an example, blockchain based on the complex algorithm of hash function creates a "ledger" for digital currency that cannot be tampered with privately. Transparent trading system. Although it is only a technological innovation, its revolutionary power lies in the reconstruction of the modern economic system and financial system.
However, the popularity has also attracted the attention of hackers. In recent years, the theft of virtual currency capital from various exchanges has occurred frequently. Therefore, trusted and controllable cloud computing has become a key technology used for escort. It is reported that the TIC 2018 conference will share the security exploration of cloud computing in the field of blockchain digital currency, and discuss future development and applications.
In addition, the application analysis of blockchain in the insurance industry will be another highlight of the conference. The insurance industry has already been intensively developing the application of blockchain: since 2016, several domestic insurance companies have successively launched services based on blockchain technology such as insurance points and aviation accident insurance transfer, and recorded all transaction records, realizing the realization of Transparency of information.
At that time, Li He, business director of the headquarters of the People's Insurance Company of China, will systematically interpret the current blockchain knowledge, and provide a quick and profound introduction to blockchain applications and smart contracts.
It is believed that after the combination of blockchain and cloud computing, the stable blockchain will show its true value and activate a larger market space.
Guarding the industry with technical dry goods, the TIC 2018 conference on May 15th will let us witness more wonderful sharing.
