Lu Qi pointed out that with the advantages of voice and dialogue technology, Baidu has a huge opportunity to lead a new generation of human-computer interaction platforms. Natural language and other intelligent interaction methods may appear in every device from the mobile phone to the home. In order to seize this opportunity, Baidu decided to establish the Department of Secret Service to accelerate Baidu's artificial intelligence strategy deployment and artificial intelligence productization and marketization.
The announcement also revealed that Bai Jing, Senior Director of Baidu, and Zhu Kaihua, Chief Architect, will serve as the core management of the division. Jing Hao served as the general manager of the division, and Zhu Kaihua served as chief technology of the division. The Mystery Business report directly to Bai Qi Group’s President and Chief Operating Officer Lu Qi.
The announcement also thanked Bai Da Chief Scientist Wu Enda and his team of artificial intelligence teams for their support for the Development of Secret Meals.
Degree Secret is a conversational artificial intelligence secretary produced by Baidu. It was launched by Li Yanhong at Baidu World Congress in September 2015. At the North American CES Conference in January this year, Baidu introduced DuerOS, a dialogue-based artificial intelligence operating system developed by the Duwei team, and announced that it has reached a strategic cooperation with Beijing Xiao Yuer Technology Co., Ltd. and launched new products. Baidu said DuerOS, which uses natural language for speech dialogue, can support smart hardware and evolve through the cloud.
Just this morning, Baidu also announced its wholly-owned acquisition of Raven Tech. After 90th, company founder Lu Hao joined the team with Baidu, and served as general manager of smart home hardware, reporting directly to Lu Qi.
At this point, Lu Qi has built the software and hardware team of artificial intelligence products that he directly leads. This move means that Baidu has begun to accelerate the process of hardware and software integration and hardware and software integration and commercialization of artificial intelligence.
Baidu CEO Li Yanhong once mentioned in his earlier internal speech that the combination of soft and hard artificial intelligence products will be a new direction. For example, smart speakers can respond to users' needs at any time and anywhere, so that artificial intelligence and new types can be used regardless of power consumption. The combination of hardware creates new opportunities.
Lu Qi once said that Baidu’s research on artificial intelligence will be more closely integrated with its products. His goal is to build Baidu into a world-leading high-tech company in the era of artificial intelligence. Upgrading the secret team to an independent business unit, acquiring hardware teams and appointing general manager of intelligent hardware are all important initiatives for Lu Ji’s artificial intelligence products.
