Yesterday, Google held its annual Google China Developers Conference in Shanghai. At the conference, Fei-fei Li, chief scientist of Google Cloud, made a big announcement: Google AI China Center will be set up in Beijing. Google has high hopes for the upcoming AI center, hoping to cooperate with China’s local AI research and development forces to jointly devote to the research in the field of artificial intelligence. The center is led by Li Feifei and Dr. Jia Li, head of Google Cloud research and development. Feifei Li will lead the research work at the center, as well as co-ordinate the work of Google Cloud AI, Google Brain and the Local Team in China.
This is Google’s first AI center in Asia.
According to Professor Fei-fei Li, the team of Google AI China Center consists of the best AI researchers in the world. In addition to publishing its own research results, Google AI China Center will also focus on cultivating local AI research talents, open to cooperation with local enterprises, and provide high-quality AI and machine learning education support to a wider audience of students and researchers.
“We appreciate this opportunity for Google to work with some of the best AI talent in China, and certainly some of the best AI talent in the world,” Li said. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and we sincerely hope that this will be the first step in the long-term development of Google AI China Center. In the world of AI, China has long woken up and become one of the world leaders. I have witnessed China leading the world in basic AI research, entrepreneurship and development. He has made great achievements in ImageNet image recognition Contest, Kaggle AI programming platform and basic scientific research. Today, my team and I are back in China, looking forward to a long and sincere period of work to build the future. This center will work with our AI research groups around the world, including in New York, Toronto, London and Zurich, to make AI better for all of humanity. ‘ ‘
Chinese investment capital has been pouring into artificial intelligence in recent years. So far, China has 592 AI companies, which have made good progress in intelligent voice, autonomous driving, computer vision and image processing. It can be predicted that the future AI industry will bring a subversive impact on the development of human society. In the future, after the popularization of artificial intelligence, there will be service robots, medical robots, agricultural backpack robots, unmanned agricultural machines and other automated productivity. AI will also be widely used in translation, assistant, customer service, accounting, driver, housekeeping, consulting and other jobs.
Now the Chinese market is indeed a hot land for artificial intelligence. Since taking artificial intelligence as the core strategy for the next step, Baidu has stepped up the technology flow; Alibaba and Tencent, despite their more promising cash cow businesses, are still reluctant to reduce their investment in AI. The rise of homegrown startups like IFlytek is just a small microcosm of China’s booming AI market. And the Chinese government has made the development of ARTIFICIAL intelligence a national priority. In the field of ARTIFICIAL intelligence (AI), Chinese Internet companies are no less advanced than the US, and even ahead of the US.
Demand for AI-related talent in China nearly tripled in the third quarter of this year from the first quarter of last year, as a wave of AI startups emerged amid the rapid development of artificial intelligence in The country, according to a new report by a Chinese online recruitment company.
The technical threshold of artificial intelligence is very high, and it is difficult to master it in a short period of time. Technical talents with academic knowledge and practical operation experience are the target of enterprises. Knowledge-based and technology-based talents have poor reproducibility and substitutability, so enterprises are usually in a passive state when chasing talents, and high salaries are hard to find.
Currently, about 300,000 people around the world are proficient in advanced computer science and technology needed for everything from driverless cars to household robots, Tencent Research Institute said in a report, adding that the global market demand for AI experts is on the order of millions. The rise of AI has been dubbed the fourth industrial revolution, with powerful supercomputers using reams of data to identify patterns and learn on their own, raising fears of job losses. McKinsey, a consultancy, predicts that 800m jobs around the world could disappear with automation by 2030. In the vigorous industrial movement of the past 300 years, manual labor has been largely eliminated; In recent years, the popularity of artificial intelligence, the white-collar work should also be replaced. Ai has surpassed humans in the game of Go and can even write news articles.
Although artificial intelligence has been around for many years, ai as we know it today is still in its infancy. Ai and its applications, from self-driving cars to virtual personal assistants and many other tasks that require AI, will take a long time to deploy and evolve. Artificial intelligence still has a long way to go.
Artificial intelligence is a challenging science, and those who do it must have knowledge of computers, psychology and philosophy. Artificial intelligence is a very broad science, which consists of different fields, such as machine learning, computer vision and so on. In general, one of the main goals of artificial intelligence research is to enable machines to perform some complex tasks that normally require human intelligence. However, different generations and different people have different understandings of this “complex work”. In December 2017, AI was selected as one of the top 10 Buzzwords in Chinese media in 2017.
Artificial intelligence has great significance, but also has huge business opportunities. Human beings cannot stop the research of artificial intelligence in the face of huge interest temptation. Therefore, time will prove where artificial intelligence will really go.
