A year of artificial intelligence application layer rushing forward

In 2017, one of the most talked-about topics in the tech world was undoubtedly Artificial Intelligence (AI). It wasn't just a buzzword anymore; it had become a force that was reshaping industries and capturing public imagination. From driverless cars showcased at major exhibitions to AI-powered tools assisting doctors in diagnosing diseases, the potential of AI was becoming increasingly tangible. The Chinese government also recognized the importance of AI, launching the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan" in July 2017, which outlined a three-step strategy for its development. This was followed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s release of the "Three-Year Action Plan for the Development of a New Generation of Artificial Intelligence Industry (2018–2020)" in December, marking a clear commitment to fostering AI growth across various sectors. As AI began to gain traction, major tech companies like Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent started making strategic moves. They invested heavily in AI startups, acquired innovative firms, and launched open platforms to capture market share. Their goal was not only to lead in the AI space but also to build long-term competitive advantages. However, despite the excitement, there were concerns about the sustainability of this AI boom. While many applications were still superficial, the foundational research in China lagged behind the U.S. There were fears of a bubble forming, with too much hype and not enough real-world impact. Experts warned that talent shortages and technical limitations could slow down progress. One example of AI's growing influence was in education. A startup called Dropout Education conducted an experiment where an AI-driven robot outperformed human teachers in teaching math to students. This sparked discussions about the future of AI in learning environments. Tencent also made significant strides in AI, particularly in healthcare. Its AI medical imaging product, Tencent Yingying, was used to screen for conditions like diabetic retinopathy and esophageal cancer. Collaborations with hospitals across China helped expand its reach and effectiveness. Despite these advancements, challenges remained. The global AI talent pool was dominated by the U.S., and China still faced a shortage of skilled professionals in deep learning and other critical areas. Companies struggled to find enough experts to support their AI initiatives, leading to longer project timelines and higher costs. Investors and industry leaders were cautious, warning that the high valuations of AI startups might not be sustainable. Some predicted that many companies would fail if they couldn’t deliver real value. As the AI landscape evolved, the focus shifted from hype to practical implementation. Looking ahead, competition in the AI field is expected to intensify. With giants like Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent continuing to invest and innovate, the race for dominance in AI is far from over. Whether it will lead to a true revolution or a temporary surge remains to be seen.

Power Meter Socket

Power Meter is a monitoring and testing instrument which determines the power consumption of a connected appliance and the cost of the electricity consumed.
Built-in 3.6V rechargeable Batteries ( . The purpose of the batteries is to store the total electricity and memory setting
Resetting
If an abnormal display appears or the buttons produce no response, the instrument must be reset. To do this,
press the RESET button.
Display Mode
Entire LCD can be displayed for about 1 minute and then it automatically gets into Model. To transfer from
one mode to the other, press the FUNCTION button.
Mode 1: Time/Watt/Cost Display Display duration(how long) this device connect to power source.LCD on first line shows 0:00 with first two figures mean minutes(2 figures will occur while occur at 10 min) and the rest shows seconds. After 60mins, it displays 0:00 again with first two numbers meas hour(2 figures will occur at 10hours)and the rest shows minutes. The rest can be done in the same manner which means after 24 hours, it will re-caculate. LCD on second line displays current power which ranges in 0.0W 〜 9999W. LCD on third line displays the current electricity costs which ranges in O.Ocost 〜 9999cost. It will keep on O.OOcost before setting rate without other figures.
Mode 2: Time/Cumulative electrical quantity Display Display duration(how long) this device connect to power source.
LCD on first line shows 0:00 with first two figures mean minutes(2 figures will occur while occur at 10 min) and the rest shows seconds. After 60mins, it displays 0:00 again with first two numbers meas hour(2 figures will occur at 10hours)and the rest shows minutes. The rest can be done in the same manner which
means after 24 hours, it will re-caculate. LCD on second line displays current cumulative electrical quantity which ranges in 0.000KWH 〜 9999KWH without other figures. LCD on third line displays"DAY"- "1 'Will be showed on numerical part(the other three figures will be showed at carry) which means it has cumulated electrical quantity for 24hours(one day). The rest can be done in the same manner untill the maximal cumulative time of 9999 days.
Mode 3: TimeA^bltage/Frequency Display LCD on first line displays the same as Mode 1 dones. LCD on second line displays current voltage supply (v) which ranges in 0.0V 〜 9999V .LCD on third line displays current frequency (HZ) which ranges in 0.0HZ 〜 9999Hz without other figures.
Mode 4: Time/Current/Power Factor Display LCD on first line displays the same as Mode 1 dones.LCD on second line displays load current which ranges in 0.0000A 〜 9999A. LCD on third line displays current power factor which ranges in 0.00PF 〜 LOOPF without other figures.
Mode 5:Time/Minimum Power Display LCD on first line displays the same as Mode 1 dones. LCD on
second line displays the minimum power which ranges in 0.0W 〜 9999W. LCD on third line displays character of "Lo" without other figures.
Mode 6: Time/Maximal Power Display LCD on first line displays the same as Mode 1 dones. LCD on second line displays the maximal power which ranges in 0.0W 〜 9999W. LCD on third line displays character of "Hi" without other figures.
Mode 7: Time/Price Display LCD on first line displays the same as Mode 1 dones. LCD on third line displays the cost which ranges in O.OOCOST/KWH 〜 99.99COST/KWH without other figures.
Overload Display: When the power socket connects the load over 3680W, LCD on second line displays the''OVERLOAD[ with booming noise to warn the users, (selectable choice)
Supplemental informations:
1: Except [OVERLOAD[ interface, LCD on first line display time in repitition within 24hours.
2: LCD on first line, second line or third line described in this intruction take section according to two black lines on LCD screen. Here it added for clarified purpose.
3. Mode 7 will directly occur while press down button "cost".
4. [UP"&"Down" are in no function under un-setting mode.
Setting Mode
1. Electricity price setting
After keeping COST button pressed lasting more than 3 seconds(LCD on third line display system defaults price, eg O.OOCOST/KWH ),the rendered content begins moving up and down which means that the device
