Chat bots, news feeds, data mining, real-time location, search engines, smart mobile apps, and driverless cars... these technologies seem to be irrelevant, but they are supported by the same point—artificial intelligence . In recent years, all walks of life are talking about this concept. People use artificial intelligence to automate work and predict development. The smart industry has become a pioneer in the next-generation technology revolution.
In general, because of artificial intelligence, people feel more productive and productive than ever before, whether they are living or working. As you can see, we have now entered the era of artificial intelligence .
The number of artificial intelligence industry segments (home) Â
China Investment Advisory Network  Â
According to statistics of VentureScanner, as of early 2016, there are 957 artificial intelligence companies in the world; among them, about 65 startup companies in the field of artificial intelligence in China have invested, totaling RMB 2.91 billion.
Total Global Investment in Artificial Intelligence  Â
China Investment Advisory Network
The scale of equity transactions related to AI Startups soared from 70 in 2011 to 397 in 2015. The amount is considerable.
One of the reasons why the development of artificial intelligence is so rampant is that “ data explosion †—accurate and persistent data is the source of life for artificial intelligence . The machine learning algorithm automatically analyzes and obtains the rules from the data, and uses the rules to predict the unknown data so that the applied objects are more intelligent. Cloud platforms can store data and perform deep processing on the data.
| Artificial Intelligence Applications
News push
All social platforms are convinced that artificial intelligence and machine learning can help them improve the user experience. Facebook has already done something. They use machine learning to push the most suitable news for each user according to their different tastes, and promote their participation in content reading, commenting and sharing.
At the same time, this social media giant also uses speech recognition and image information recognition to further increase user stickiness. Facebook said it has tripled its investment in the AI ​​field and intends to be the leader in the field. With a large amount of user data, it can indeed speak of it.
Digital Assistant
Imagine future Siri, Alexa, Facebook's M, Google Assistant, and Viv. From medical and health management to pre-arranged travel plans, from handling business at the bank to enjoying delicious food at the restaurant, you can't leave these electronic assistants. With vast amounts of data, they can determine the user’s true intentions based on actual conditions, and this capability is precisely the most difficult gap between machines and humans. They help you connect, organize all aspects of your life, and make it more automatic.
Artificial intelligence will continue to be applied in many fields in the future, and digital assistants will be more commonly applied to our devices. Whether you use a computer or a mobile phone, these helpers will work hard for you to solve as long as you have problems. But if you are concerned about personal information leakage, this feature may not be suitable for you.
self-driving car
Once, people think that driverless cars can only think about it.
At the end of last year, Baidu’s driverless car completed an open drive test on the six rings in Beijing. Recently, Google's driverless car project announced that it will test in Kirkland, Washington, the United States, which will be the company's third city for driverless car testing. Ford also announced in January that it is testing auto-driving cars in bad snow conditions. Volvo plans to further expand the autopilot program called Driveme in 2017...
From reducing major traffic accidents, lowering transportation insurance premiums, and reshaping the transportation industry, consumers and the entire industry have seen a bright future for driverless cars.
However, machine intelligence cannot reach the human level in terms of “perceptionâ€. Therefore, to make a driverless car safe to handle all possible small-scale events, it is necessary to test a billion miles at least. Therefore, in order to truly reach a better future, we still need to continue our efforts.
Smart Shopping Service
Amazon's one-click shopping hardware "Dash" button is triggered via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. With just a click, you can immediately purchase daily necessities such as washing powder, baby food, etc.; Alibaba launches its new VR Taobao Mall and provides virtual The function of male and female friends encourages consumers to use VR devices for shopping; Hitachi, Japan, has launched an EMIEW3 humanoid robot specifically designed to provide consumers with supermarket shopping support services. Through the effective use of big data, the era of large-scale field payment in stores is gone forever. Consumers enjoy a more comfortable and convenient shopping experience through various means such as one-click shopping, virtual shopping, and robot shopping.
Smart Marketing
Data-driven predictive algorithms are used in all areas of life. For example, Netflix uses this algorithm to infer content that users are interested in and recommend it to them—this is how machine learning and artificial intelligence can help marketers gain market access. In addition, the greater the amount of data, the smarter the marketing tools. Artificial intelligence can make the marketing process more personalized and targeted, and create stronger and more loyal relationships between businesses and consumers.
Intelligent Human Resource Management
Due to the development of artificial intelligence, human resources management has been severely impacted. According to a survey released by the Society for Human Resource Management, this year's investment in science and technology in human resources has increased by 46% over the previous year. Ironically, from the perspective of recruiting, promoting employee engagement, and employee education, human resource management using artificial intelligence technology will be more humane than humans themselves.
In the intellectual competition between humans and artificial intelligence, the latter is more accurate and faster in identifying and attracting potential new employees. Artificial intelligence applications can automatically handle programmatic tasks such as scheduling interviews and meetings; education programs tailored to individual needs can be designed to provide opportunities for development based on the advantages of each employee; and real-time data feedback can also better promote people’s development. Cooperation and communication.
Industrial computer
The manufacturing, agriculture, and automotive industries are already using artificial intelligence technology to predict and maintain mission-critical machines. Some industrial control smart machines can even make business operations more efficient and reduce costs.
Now, smart machines have been extended from the factory to the homes of the people. If your home has equipment that needs to be repaired, upgraded or replaced, whether it is a machine or a home security system, artificial intelligence will inform you of their situation in advance. In the future, with more data and sensors, machines and application software will link us closely with the world – which of course is the result of artificial intelligence.
The above example of artificial intelligence applied in different fields is only the tip of the iceberg. The significance of artificial intelligence is reflected in each consumer's shopping behavior, reflected in every commercial market and every industry.
Take home health care. Wall Street Journal columnist Christopher Mims recently wrote an article about artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things. The report emphasizes that the outbreak of technology is really making our lives easier. “No one wants to sell an old lady an all-new gadget; but if we quietly sell the product to her grandson in installments,†Mims wrote. "This sounds like the next Uber..."
Yes, artificial intelligence brings more transformation to various industries than mobile technology. Artificial intelligence is not just about science and technology - it's almost every aspect of our lives. This is something we have never imagined.
