Future Development Direction Of Artificial Intelligence
The first trend is that all IT giants will deploy AI cloud services, A-a-S. This means that AI as a service will become the trend in the future. Artificial intelligence is the future. This is a self-evident fact. New and old IT giants not only actively use AI in their own businesses, but also actively use cloud computing platforms to provide AI services for third parties.
In terms of supply, IT giants know that as long as a third party uses their own platform, they will leave data on the platform, which will become a gold mine in the era of artificial intelligence. From a demand perspective, these application companies can use AI cloud services provided by large enterprises to enhance their competitiveness. Therefore, as an AI service provider and a company using AI services, this is a win-win cooperation.
The second trend is that old and new AI companies will compete fiercely around smart portals. In the network age, almost all admissions will lead to competition, and the winners of all examinations will become the next giant. For example, in the era of Web 2.0, the rise of interactive social networks has formed social portals that create Facebook and Tencent. The age of artificial intelligence is no exception. After fierce competition, the next huge super enterprise will inevitably be born.
In the era of artificial intelligence, the main service portal is the voice interaction of natural language. Natural language processing will become the main way of human-computer interaction. Only those who can make machines understand human language better can win. AI will completely surround all aspects of our lives. This means that the competition of AI portals will be more intense. The earlier you participate, the more users there will be and the greater the chance of winning.
The third trend is that AI will occupy the living room and voice interface will become the mainstream TV application. The concept of smart home has been debated for many years. Bill Gates made a clear description in the Road to the Future in 1995, but so far, this description has not become a reality. The main reason is insufficient user demand.
With the increase of TV screen size and the explosive growth of video content, the traditional remote control is increasingly difficult to meet the requirements of people using TV. Intelligent search and intelligent interaction based on voice are emerging rapidly, and natural language interaction will become a TV work. The standard way of the machine. Traditional TV manufacturers such as Samsung, video content providers such as Netflix and Amazon, and IT manufacturers such as Microsoft(MS) and Google have launched or will launch voice interface products centered on their own TV, so smart home has become a reality on TV.
The fourth trend is that intelligent toys will become one of the first successful applications of artificial intelligence. When artificial intelligence is used to diagnose diseases or manufacture autonomous vehicle, people often cannot tolerate mistakes. But toys are different. People have a high tolerance for toy mistakes. Therefore, today, when AI cannot surpass human intelligence, intelligent toys are just the starting point for AI to gain initial market recognition.
In fact, there are many successful cases. For example, at the end of 2016, the smart toy Como that can play games with people will be sold out. In 2017, smart toys went on the market. China’s toy manufacturing industry has strong strength, but no brand advantage. If Chinese toy companies cooperate with high-tech companies and use their strong manufacturing and marketing capabilities to launch their own brands, they will have huge business opportunities.
