If the invention of smart phones a decade ago brought the Internet from the PC Internet era of 1.0 to the mobile Internet era of 2.0, then the transformation of AI (Artificial Intelligence), the underlying technology of the Internet, is bringing the Internet to 3.0 artificial intelligence. era. In the new generation of artificial intelligence development plan issued by the State Council, the development scale of AI will reach the trillion level. Based on the advantages of all aspects, the scent of sensitive capital began to swarm in the AI ​​field, while domestic IT giants such as Baidu, Ali, Tencent, foreign Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Microsoft also regard artificial intelligence as the next technological revolution. Break through the point and invest heavily to speed up the layout.
Forming a complete industrial chain in 2030 With the gradual warming of AI, the most sensitive capital has begun to swarm. "Daily Economic News" reporter noted that in July alone, a number of companies including Chinese startup Qitang Technology, robot company Geek+, Yunnao Technology and Teslink Technology, which focused on face recognition technology, have successively released. Financing information; in the international market, the US company Brain announced the completion of the $114 million Series C financing led by the Softbank Vision Investment Fund, while another US artificial intelligence company ObEN also announced a $5 million A2 round of financing, and it was Tencent. Leading.
However, the above-mentioned enterprises in the AI ​​field are only the epitome of a huge investment network. According to CB Insights statistics, 61 artificial intelligence companies were financing in 2010, and 522 artificial intelligence startups got financing in 2016; the investment amount was from the original The $81 million has soared to $3.12 billion.
Why does capital attach so much importance to the development of artificial intelligence?
In fact, in March of this year, artificial intelligence was written into the government work report, and the national leadership attached great importance to artificial intelligence as a strategic development technology. On July 20, according to Xinhua News Agency, the State Council recently issued the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan" (hereinafter referred to as "Planning").
The "Planning" requires that the first step is to initially establish artificial intelligence technical standards, service systems and industrial ecological chains by 2020, and cultivate some of the world's leading artificial intelligence backbone enterprises. The artificial intelligence core industry scale exceeds 150 billion yuan, driving the scale of related industries. More than 1 trillion yuan; the second step, by 2025, a new generation of artificial intelligence is widely used in the fields of intelligent manufacturing, smart medical care, smart city, intelligent agriculture, national defense construction, etc. The artificial intelligence core industry scale exceeds 400 billion yuan, driving related The scale of the industry exceeds 5 trillion yuan; the third step is to expand the breadth of application of artificial intelligence in production, life, social governance and national defense construction by 2030, forming a core technology, key systems, supporting platforms and intelligent applications. With a complete industrial chain and high-end industrial clusters, the artificial intelligence core industry has a scale of more than 1 trillion yuan, driving the related industries to exceed 10 trillion yuan.
Enterprises have been rushing to the layout of AI
In the face of the trillion-dollar industry scale, there is also a saying in the Internet circle: people with artificial intelligence have the world.
In this context, foreign IT giants such as Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Microsoft, as well as Internet giants such as Baidu, Ali, and Tencent in China, have all regarded artificial intelligence as the breakthrough point of the next technological revolution, and invested heavily to accelerate the layout.
In the global market, Google can be said to be the most active part. According to statistics, Google has acquired 11 artificial intelligence companies since 2012. In the first half of this year alone, Google has already reached two acquisitions in the AI ​​field. The most recent acquisition on July 13 this year, the acquisition of the target for the Indian artificial intelligence company HalliLabs.
Even Apple, which has always been low-key in its corporate acquisition strategy, has been active in the AI ​​space recently. In the past year, it has acquired three artificial intelligence companies, Emotient, Turi and Tuplejump; Intel has included three companies, Itseez, Nervana Systems and Movius. In addition, Amazon acquired Orbeus, an artificial intelligence startup with image recognition technology.
Looking at the domestic market, Baidu is the fastest company in the field of artificial intelligence. On July 5th, Baidu founder Li Yanhong took the five-ring of Beijing on the driverless car developed by the company. In the industry's view, Baidu's automatic driving technology has been delivered through actual operation, which also shows that around the accumulation of technology, At present, Baidu has been able to launch multi-scenario applications.
Tencent, which has been quite low-key in the AI ​​field, is not far behind. On July 21, the Tencent AI accelerator was officially launched and 25 projects were selected. "Daily Economic News" reporter noted that the 25 projects selected for the AI ​​accelerator include both assistants in the field of natural language processing, triangle beasts, bamboo intelligence, chasing one technology, and also focusing on AI. A number of vertical subdivisions of Huihui Huiying, dropout education, Xiaoku Technology, and Xiaofabo Robot. In addition, AI and hardware combined with Huichuang Technology, Sagitar Juchuang, COWAROBOT, space and time pot and other projects also exist.
For Tencent's strategic layout and planning issues in AI, Tencent's vice president AI accelerator pilot Yao Xing told media including "Daily Economic News" that AI Lab was a division of AI established by Tencent last year. At present, there are probably more than 50 outstanding researchers, and Tencent's main research directions are probably four directions, including image recognition, speech recognition, natural language processing and machine learning. In fact, this year Tencent has already had an application for AI landing, which is the artificial intelligence Go program "Tenyi" of Tencent AI Lab, which has won the 10th UEC Cup.
It is worth noting that although AI has become a slogan from technology to application, at present, the AI ​​field still faces many difficulties. In this regard, Yao Xing also expressed his approval. He pointed out: "Although the AI ​​industry is in the limelight, the industry is still in a very early stage, and many aspects are still immature, including the research accumulation of AI in algorithms, and the application in the application scenario. The refinement of the inside. These are all to be worked together and breakthroughs, in order to 'let AI everywhere' in the future."
