In 2017, Ke Jie had a human-machine battle with AlphaGo. AlphaGo won 3-0, and a generation of talents shed tears on the spot...
In 2019, The face-swapping video "Yang Mi for Zhu Yin" caused a sensation on the entire Internet, and AI face-swapping is still gaining popularity today;
In 2022, ChatGPT became a global sensation once it was released, causing a worldwide stir. Uproar...
Even if you see a leopard in the tube, you can see it. Science and technology are changing with each passing day, and everyone in the world can see it. While we are grateful that technology is changing the future, we are deeply worried about the challenges brought by artificial intelligence.
Three thousand years of Go, AlphaGo has gone through it in three days; AI face-changing is entertainment, opportunity and privacy crisis; ChatGPT is a challenge to the future of mankind, etc. Computer science has set off such a trend, With the support of powerful algorithms, the strong wind of AI is unstoppable. Where will we be blown at the cusp of the times?
I. Overview
AI simulates human intelligence through computer programs, allowing computers to process, understand and learn information like humans. Utilizemachine learning, deep learning, natural language processing and other algorithms to enable computers to process large amounts of data, thereby realizing operations such as understanding, classifying, and identifying information. . In this way, AI has unparalleled superiority and is full of high-tech~ Artificial intelligence has a wide range of application fields, ranging fromnatural language processing, computer vision, intelligent robots, self-driving cars, and smart homes etc., can contain extremely high levels of AI.
2. Classification
According towhether it is possible to create a product that can truly reason (Reasoning) and solve problems (Problem_solving), divided into Strong artificial intelligenceandWeak artificial intelligence. That is, whether the machine itself has consciousness and independent thinking.
At present, strong artificial intelligence has not yet appeared, and AI is still in the "mentally retarded" stage. The robots in science fiction blockbusters that awaken their consciousness and rule mankind are just terrible fantasies.
Weak artificial intelligence is closely related to people's lives, such as various voice assistants, translation software, including the aforementioned AI face-changing, etc. Everything you see and use is basically weak artificial intelligence. However, just being "mentally retarded" is enough to make people lament the rapid progress of technology, and even worry about whether they will suffer hidden devaluation.
3. Application fields
To avoid making the article too lengthy, the following content is mainly centered on the three areas at the beginning.
(1) Natural language processing (NLP)
The most popular one is the chatbot represented by ChatGPT. It is a natural language generation model that can simulate human natural language communication and generate natural and smooth text. Currently, chatbots are developing rapidly and are favored by the market.
Write a program, translate text, work problems or even personal emotional problems...it has answers to all your questions.
Since the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, people's lives have been affected to varying degrees.
Students can use it to get a personalized answer reference in a short period of time. Programmers can even complete 80% of the work tasks with the help of it... Really relying on their own pure output, it is completely a human-machine battle, not to mention Most people themselves are average and completely lose at the starting line.
Human-machine dialogue is becoming more natural and high-end, and application scenarios are also increasing. I believe you are all familiar with some common scenes.
1.Machine Translation
NetEase Youdao Dictionary, Baidu Translation, major translation software, WPS, etc. all have efficient translation functions. Translation systems have developed rapidly from being based on dictionaries and rule systems in the early days to now relying on neural network systems. Therefore, more and more English college students feel that their future is bleak and their employment opportunities are shrinking instantly.
Although machine translation is convenient, fast and cost-effective, it is indeed a good tool for daily use. However, language, as an emotional and interpersonal tool, always needs human touch and fireworks.
2. Voice Assistant
"Hi, Siri" "Hi~Xiaodu" yes, they are all "there".
Mobile phone voice systemA must-have, voice operation is convenient and fast, and you can make pranks and get out of the circle just by talking.
Navigation APPPersonalized voice continues to guide you, making the journey less lonely and more interesting~
Google Assistant Online voice help you solve all your problems. Their quick response and kind "care" with just a word are all due to the power of the algorithm.
In the fast-food society, which is high-intensity and fast-paced, everyone has to become more and more like an island. Voice assistants add not only convenience, but also a sense of fun and technological warmth.
3. Chatbots
The most popular one is the chatbot represented by ChatGPT. It is a natural language generation model that can simulate human natural language communication and generate natural and smooth text. Currently, chatbots are developing rapidly and are favored by the market.
Write a program, translate text, work problems or even personal emotional issues (robot chat, are you in love with your girlfriend? hahahaha)...it will answer all your questions.
Since the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, people’s lives have been affected to varying degrees.
Students can use it to get a personalized answer reference in a short period of time. Programmers can even complete 80% of the work tasks with the help of it... Really relying on their own pure output, it is completely a human-machine battle, not to mention Most people themselves are average and completely lose at the starting line.
In addition toChatGPT,alsoMonic, Forefront AI, Chatsonic, Bard, Claude, Doubao< /span> and so on are all relatively famous at present. You can try them if you need them.
(2) Computer Vision (CV)
Various imaging systems replace the visual organ as the input sensitive means, and the computer replaces the brain to complete processing and interpretation.
1. Face recognition
A society that emphasizes efficiency naturally has its sharp edges, and facial recognition technology is a representative example of its rapid development in recent years.
VariousAccess card punching, identity recognition, facial recognition payment. . . No matter how useless it is, I gradually discovered that face recognition has entered our lives, which is a bit scary to think about. It is considered one of the most difficult research topics in the field of biometric identification and even artificial intelligence. After experiencingimage collection and detection, face image preprocessing, image feature extraction, matching and recognition four steps, you are done.
The original intention was to process personal identity information efficiently and conveniently, but issues such asinformation privacy and security that emerged during the development process also Worth worrying about.
2.AI face changing
"A's house collapsed, a new drama is about to be broadcast, and B changes his face to rescue the scene", which has been popular in a certain audio, a certain website's short video platform, and P-picture software in the past two years . Whether it's capital profit or people enjoying themselves, it's more of an entertainment nature. It is lifelike, has good technical processing, and can even be fake, which is a big skill for having fun on the Internet nowadays.
Of course, it brings not only self-beautification and appreciation and more fun, but also fraud. I would like to remind you to keep pace with the times and beware of telecommunications fraud. In recent years, it can be said that fraud using AI face-changing technology is not uncommon. There are also those who use face-swapping to smear the reputation of others, but I don’t want to elaborate on the specifics.
Only through rational screening and legal use can you have long-term happiness~
1.Swapface：
Foreign intelligent video face-changing tool, lightweight and easy to operate. No complicated parameter settings are required, just upload videos or photos. Realistic and natural face replacement in seconds.
2.Faceswap
It is a free and open source face-changing tool that is popular abroad. There are a large number of handsome and beautiful European and American faces in the software. It is also simple and easy to operate. If you like European and American styles, you can try it, but it may be different from our Asian faces.
3. Beautiful pictures
Everyone should be familiar with the domestic P-picture artifact. The p picture is the basic operation. It also keeps pace with the times and has AI gameplay.
3.Autonomous driving
AI+robotics technology is technically difficult and requires high fault tolerance, but it is indeed a breakthrough for the pioneers of the times, and the future is definitely there. It seems to be the trend of the times, and it is called "the last stop to free your hands."
Some people say it is an opportunity at the forefront of the times, while others say winter has arrived. As an R&D-intensive industry, investment is large, and it is also fraught with difficulties due to algorithmic issues, policies and other issues. "High-end assisted driving is not strictly needed", "The expense rate is extremely high and the money is burned too fast" balabalabala. ...It is said that the 21st century is the century of biology. Although this is true, the time scale is definitely not small for individuals. Let’s wait and see for further breakthroughs in the field of autonomous driving~
(3) Intelligent robots
According to different levels of intelligence, it can be subdivided into the following three categories.
1. Autonomous type
It comes with various sensors and controllers and can complete certain tasks independently without human intervention. Of course, interactivity is also a major feature of it. Features. Generally divided into humanoid robots (such as Sophia), smart cars, dancing robots, rescue robots, home robots (a cute sweeping robot), etc. It can comprehensively reflect a country's level of manufacturing, AI, etc., and is the current key development direction in the industry.
2.Interactive
The beautiful girl “Jia Jia” is China’s first interactive robot built by the University of Science and Technology of China. She is beautiful, kind, hard-working and intelligent (hahahaha... she is the girl of my dreams). As long as the technology is strong enough, robots can also meet your emotional and communication needs, and are full of humanity.
It has some processing and decision-making functions, but needs to be controlled by the outside world.
3. Sensing type
Also known as externally controlled robot. There are no intelligent units on the body, only actuators and sensing mechanisms. It is a typical "puppet type" - a robot in the traditional sense.
4. Conclusion
Technology changes the future, and AI is prevalent. "One can soar upward by ninety thousand miles", we must always believe in the irreplaceability of people, and technology serves people rather than replaces them. At the same time, "the economic foundation determines the superstructure."The current AI field is advancing by leaps and bounds, and it calls for a complete legal system and policy concepts to protect it.
