China News Service, September 15th. On September 15, the 2020 Online China International Smart Industry Expo officially opened in Chongqing. The theme of this conference is "Intelligence: Empowering the Economy and Adding Color to Life" to discuss the global New developments and trends in the field of data intelligence, depicting new visions for future development.
Baidu founder, chairman and CEO Li Yanhong was invited to attend the conference and give an online speech.
In his speech, Robin Li said that China's smart industry has ushered in a rare opportunity for great development.
The new infrastructure proposed by the state is being carried out in an orderly manner everywhere, and these new infrastructures will become a huge driving force for China's economic growth in the future.
Industrial intelligence is an important engine driving China's economic and social development in the future.
Li Yanhong said that the medium-to-high-speed growth of China's economy in the coming years will mainly rely on the improvement of efficiency brought about by innovation. In this process, the intelligent industry will play an indispensable and even the most important role.
With the blessing of digital intelligent technology, various industries including healthcare, industrial manufacturing, education, finance, and transportation will be fundamentally changed.
Taking transportation as an example, smart technology will not only bring unprecedented breakthroughs to the automotive industry, but will also greatly improve the city's transportation efficiency.
Li Yanhong predicts that within five years, China's first- and second-tier cities will no longer need purchase restrictions, and even small and medium-sized cities.
Within ten years, we hope to basically eliminate congestion and greatly reduce the accident rate.
In addition, health, business management and other fields will also be changed by the empowerment of smart technology-due to the empowerment of smart technology and the digitization of a large amount of life information, the speed of new drug research and development will be greatly accelerated, and new diagnosis and treatment methods will help greatly improve cancer cure Rate; the field of enterprise management will also greatly improve efficiency due to intelligent empowerment.
Chongqing is an innovative leading city in China’s intelligent development. In his speech, Li Yanhong pointed out that in recent years, Chongqing has made strategic planning and formed a development strategy driven by big data and intelligent innovation. Chongqing has the courage to "be the first" He courage has brought huge development opportunities to high-tech companies like Baidu.
As for how to realize an intelligent society as soon as possible, Robin Li also brought Baidu's solution at this Smart Expo: He said that an artificial intelligence platform company like Baidu must do at least three things.
Specifically, the first thing is to provide an AI technology platform for the whole society to promote the intelligent transformation of the industry.
Li Yanhong said that intelligence is divided into three stages: technology intelligence, economic intelligence, and social intelligence-currently we are in the stage of economic intelligence.
During this period, AI platform companies like Baidu began to empower the industry on a large scale.
Based on a decade-long full-stack layout, Baidu Artificial Intelligence provides a package of AI technology solutions for the government, enterprises, and society. Through Baidu Intelligent Cloud, it delivers intelligent capabilities to various industries such as transportation, medical care, education, and urban security. Various fields.
The second thing is to build intelligent interaction methods for the intelligent society.
Li Yanhong believes that in the era of smart economy, smart terminals will go far beyond the scope of mobile phones, and smart speakers, various wearable devices, and smart sensors will be everywhere.
Take Xiaodu Assistant as an example. As of June this year, the total number of voice interactions with Xiaodu Assistant has reached 5.8 billion.
The growth of Xiaodu Assistant means that users are increasingly accepting the intelligent life of voice interaction, and more and more people are becoming familiar with and relying on Baidu's human-computer intelligent interaction system.
The third thing Baidu wants to do is to serve the country's AI infrastructure.
Li Yanhong said that the new infrastructure includes new AI chips, convenient and efficient cloud services and various application development platforms, open deep learning frameworks, and general AI algorithms.
At present, Baidu's flying paddle deep learning platform has served 2.1 million enterprises and developers.
In his speech, Robin Li also announced good news: the L4 self-driving minibus jointly developed by Baidu and King Long will make its world premiere in Yongchuan.
This means that ordinary people in Chongqing will soon be able to enjoy intelligent life.
As Li Yanhong mentioned in his speech, in the coming years, the efficiency improvement brought by innovation will determine the rapid growth of China's economy.
It is believed that under the promotion of artificial intelligence platform enterprises represented by Baidu, industrial intelligence will eliminate traffic congestion, improve production and work efficiency, reduce resource waste, realize intelligent and convenient services, and establish a more civilized and safer Intelligent society.
