Kiwibot, an Internet sensation that has been operating at the University of California, Berkeley, was recently revealed to be operated by a human. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Kiwi Campus acknowledges that Kiwibot’s previous claims to be able to use ARTIFICIAL intelligence to avoid pedestrians and automatically select the shortest distance between locations require human assistance. Using GPS and an on-board camera, the operator sends commands to Kiwibot every five to ten seconds, no problem turning the AI into a remote control. It can be seen that although the scale of artificial intelligence industry is constantly developing, there is still a long way to go for enterprises to achieve perfect implementation from theory to application. This incident is a wake-up call in the field of artificial intelligence.
In recent years, countries around the world have closely issued AI plans, policies and investment plans to strengthen the layout of AI from the national strategic level. And China, of course, does not sit well behind others. The realization of artificial intelligence product manufacturing in various fields is the main trend of the development of China’s artificial intelligence industry in the future.
The combination of AI and the Internet of things, for example, will allow smaller devices and sensors to operate closer to the periphery of computer networks, which in turn will combine with smart devices and gradually infiltrate People’s Daily lives. It is also mentioned in the 2019 AI Industry Restructuring catalogue that encouraging the establishment of AI standard testing and INTELLECTUAL property service platforms will further promote the healthy development of China’s AI industry.
But there is still a long way to go before ARTIFICIAL intelligence can be fully implemented. It can be said that both technology and scenario support is indispensable. Kiwi Campus, which has been exposed recently, is a typical example of insufficient technology. Despite the failure to achieve full artificial intelligence, the company still persisted in trying to replace AI with human beings, which drew criticism once it was revealed.
Then there is the positioning of the scene. Technology similar to classroom monitoring has long been used in manufacturing to monitor manufacturing processes, especially in key safety areas such as pharmaceuticals, to some extent identify compliance with worker behavior. However, if this technology is used in the field of education or life, it is easy to bring negative social effects without any benefits, which is a problem in the selection of scenes.
Another approach is to “customize” the application based on the scenario. However, there are more aspects that need to be considered in this approach. On the one hand, enterprises need to ensure the wide applicability of the product. When the application scenario changes, the details of the product should also change. On the other hand, social acceptance should be considered, whether it conforms to normal ethics and moral norms. At the recent “artificial intelligence technology, key scientific problems of the ethics and law” xiangshan science conference, strategic consulting, a researcher at the Chinese academy of science was put forward, rapid advances in technology, artificial intelligence has been fuzzy of the physical world and personal boundaries, constantly refresh people’s cognitive and social relations, the extended complex ethical, legal and security issues, However, there are still blind spots in the corresponding norms and system design, which is a great challenge.
Ai is expected to contribute $15.7 trillion to the world economy by 2030, according to PWC. In recent years, artificial intelligence has been paid more and more attention by all walks of life because of its broad application prospect and great strategic significance. Not only the representatives of visual AI enterprises such as Yuncong, Yitu and WiMi, more and more traditional enterprises are bound to join the battlefield of ARTIFICIAL intelligence products.
If the first three industrial revolutions changed the structure of our society, the significance of ARTIFICIAL intelligence as the “fourth industrial Revolution” is bound to be much more than that. The emergence of artificial intelligence, enough to change the human strategic vision, so that we see further, higher level. However, the future is not achieved overnight. At present, many AI enterprises still face many problems, such as huge investment in RESEARCH and development, limited landing scenarios, and difficult to make ends meet. Therefore, for artificial intelligence, the most important thing is still to promote technological upgrading and accelerate the commercial implementation. In order to achieve new breakthroughs and realize more potential, AI must be innovation-driven and market-oriented, and go out of the laboratory and into people’s lives.
