[Commercial tipping point arrival AI full integration into Google]
Artificial intelligence re-evolution
Local time May 8 (Beijing time on the morning of May 9), 2018 Google I/O developer conference opened, artificial intelligence became the theme, including a real Google assistant can be confused, Google artificial intelligence chip TPU3.0 and a series of products are Artificial intelligence is indispensable. At the 2018 Microsoft Build Developer Conference on the previous day, artificial intelligence was also inseparable. It can be seen that the international science and technology giants have taken artificial intelligence as the main direction of future development and rushed to commercial applications. Industry insiders said that artificial intelligence has reached the critical point of commercialization and this year will be the first year of AI technology.
For the current development of artificial intelligence technology, Hong Xiaowen, director of the Microsoft Asia Research Institute, said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from the 21st Century Business Herald that today, no artificial intelligence is supported by technologies such as speech recognition, text translation, or computer vision. Really understand the meaning of the information you accept. They just match the preset model. It is just a black box and cannot be generalized and understood. It only knows that the corresponding result is based on the input and output. Humans can understand it. It is not only the understanding of concepts that are already known to us, but even the face of unknown things. It can also be based on one's own past experience to try to understand, to sum up, to sum up, in the opposite sense. This is the so-called "white box." Hong Xiaowen also believes that AI can help human beings to do some professional tasks. In the face of the need for analysis and decision-making, human intelligence is needed. "AI+HI (artificial intelligence + human intelligence) is very important."
As one of the giants of technology giants, Google I/O Developers Conference opened in high profile in Mountain View, California.
In the early hours of May 9, Google released TPU3.0, GoogleDuplex, and AndroidP, an Android operating system based on the AI ​​(artificial intelligence) core. It also introduced itself to AI and machine learning in many products such as News, Map, and Lens. The application of the model.
SundarPichai, CEO of Google, revealed in a live speech that AI has integrated into every product line of Google, from Android to Google Lens and Waymo. He also showed Google’s new product “Google Assistantâ€, a voice application that can make various phone calls for the user's phone, whether it be a haircut service or a restaurant reservation. The timbre, emotions, speech logic and other aspects of this artificial intelligence machine are quite realistic.
In fact, just the day before, Microsoft also held the 2018 Microsoft Build Global Developer Conference in Seattle. Although the two giants spontaneously put AI on the protagonist's position, Microsoft's application is more oriented toward the enterprise market, and Google is deeply rooted in the C-end consumer.
Perhaps it had been anticipated in advance that the share prices of the two companies had not been significantly affected, and the market value was about equal to US$730 billion. Who is more imaginative space? It is difficult to find an accurate answer. Analysts said that Google’s products only have a better experience, so that users can create a sense of dependence, thus promoting the advertising business.
At the same time, Google is also exploring how artificial intelligence technologies can be used to improve healthcare, protect the environment and the future of humanity. Sandal Pachachi said: "Although we know that the road ahead must be carried out with care, our core mission has never changed. It is to make information more useful, more convenient, and more beneficial to society."
AI is everywhere
Compared with last year's "AI is an important strategy," this year's theme almost "AI" is the only one. There are no other hardware releases and no mention of AR and others.
Through more than two years of research investment, artificial intelligence has been integrated into Google's products and software systems, and the functions of these products have fallen into many areas of life.
In the speech of the day, Sandor Pichchai used two cartoon icons as an opening to illustrate the true pursuit of information by Google. AI was the first topic to be mentioned. He talked about the medical field, used retinal scans to diagnose specific cases of the disease to explain the machine learning ability, and let the audience understand the role of AI in humans. He even believes that "medical care is an important area in which AI can change." Therefore, Google will increase the ability to identify information to help diagnose medical problems. For example, Google AI can help in the diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy and cardiovascular risk, but also help doctors predict the possibility of re-admission to the patient.
However, the focus of this developer conference was on Google Assistant ("Google Assistant"). It is Google's AI intelligence assistant, Sandor Pichai introduced, they collected human voices in the studio, capture the sound characteristics, and then analyze the features into Google Assistant. To make their tone, rhythm, etc. closer to humans, almost can be real.
The 21st Century Business Herald reporter learned that whether it is a barber or a restaurant, you can call a Google assistant to make a reservation. It will call the barber shop and answer the bar staff's “some haircuts†and “reservation guests' namesâ€. information. When booking a restaurant, it can also learn to change the booking time if there is no place.
This scene seems to have only appeared in past science fiction films, but now it only needs a mobile phone to complete it. At present, there are already 500 million devices connected to Google assistants in the world and can support 16 languages. Nick Fox, Google’s vice president, revealed that Google is committed to making GoogleAssistant’s language more than 30 kinds by the end of 2018, which will help it stay ahead of competitors, such as Alexa speaking only English, German and Japanese. In addition, Google hopes it will be recommended to 95% of Android smartphone users.
A former Google technical person who declined to be named told reporters of the 21st Century Business Herald that Google’s various applications have landed on high-frequency scenes in life. Compared with Apple or Amazon, it is at the bottom of the core technology as well. To achieve perfection in technology, it has reached a certain level. Mainly because of the company's accumulation in the field of software services, as well as the deep rooted technical ideas. It opened a big gap with Apple's Siri.
In addition to innovation in sound, Google AI has also entered a more subtle application in the visual field. With the help of AI, the new version of Google Album can automatically identify whether the picture needs to be filled with light, and automatically converts it to PDF, and converts black and white photos into Color effect. At the same time, it can also identify and categorize photos of weddings and other activities, circle friends through SmartActions function, and facilitate sharing.
In short, Google's series of updates have a more practical tendency to simplify operations such as writing e-mails, making lists, browsing city streets, and reducing digital interference.
Android upgrade
The most exciting thing for developers is the new AndroidP system.
“Intelligent, concise, digital health, AndroidP is the first step in our vision of 'AI is located in the core of the operating system', and AI is also the cornerstone of the 'smart' theme.†Dave Burke, vice president of Google Engineering, made a speech Said that this may be Android's biggest update in recent years, AndroidPBeta will become the main part of Google's combination of mobile applications and AI.
Although the changes are large, the system can directly set the active recommendation at the top layer of the application library according to the user's usage habits and time factors, and recommend the required application for the user. According to Google, the accuracy of the new AI's judgment on user operating habits is above 60%.
In addition, the AndroidP operating system is trying to better adapt to human nature. If you put your phone on the table, it automatically enters the "Do Not Disturb" mode. At the same time, it can remember the user's preference for device brightness in different environments. For example, in the specified time, “relaxing†mode will make the screen gray and forcibly disconnect the mobile phone before going to sleep. Obviously, Google began to pay attention to whether people's digital life is healthy and does not want them to spend too much time on mobile phones.
It is worth mentioning that, in the AndroidP system's starting brand, including Nokia, Sony, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, one plus other brands, and GoogleLens cooperation manufacturers also have millet, TCL, one plus the figure. A mobile phone industry official who declined to be named disclosed to the 21st Century Business Herald reporter that the first batch of cooperative manufacturers did not have Huawei and Samsung. The reason is that the new system will preferentially adapt the mobile phone equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, and Huawei’s high-end models all use their own Kirin chips, Samsung mobile phones also use their own chips, so the adaptation time needs to be postponed.
As the system matures, Google’s applications will also accelerate. According to public data, Android monthly live equipment has exceeded 2 billion units in 2017. The massive user base is Google's main competitive advantage in developing AI. However, there are technology geeks in social forums that the new Android features are still being tested and the system is not very stable, and users still need to be cautious when they do.
Wang Yanhui, secretary-general of China Mobile, said in an interview with a 21st Century Business Herald reporter that due to the openness of the Android system, its application has been fragmented, and neither developers nor users are particularly keen on updating the system. "The four major domestic manufacturers have taken the initiative to adapt to the new system and may change the status quo. Google also needs consumer market data to meet the needs of deep learning and training, thus enhancing the capabilities of AI products."
Close to commercial
Although Google AI demonstrated a series of highlights, the applications are all extended from previously released products. Whether it is the GoogleAssistant dialogue with real people or the album automatically recommend changes, or news push and other functions, it makes people feel deeply that artificial intelligence is already approaching our lives.
Google remains committed to the field of ecological services and no longer focuses on hardware. The only action is that Google announced its own artificial intelligence chip TPU3.0. Compared with the previous generation, it uses liquid cooling, and its computing power is 8 times that of last year's TPU2.0, which can solve more problems faster and more intelligently.
TPU is called the tensor processor and is designed for Google's deep learning framework TensorFlow. Prior to this, Google has used the chip for Google Street View services, DeepMind's AlphaGo and other products. However, Google did not explain this product too much. The industry said that this chip may replace the products provided by Nvidia to Google.
Looking at Google's growth for 20 years, it is no longer a single search engine company, but has become a diversified business service company. At present, Google has taken the lead in various fields such as Internet services, digital advertising, digital media entertainment, autopilot, and artificial intelligence. The same is the veteran giant, Microsoft's advancement in the field of artificial intelligence is also moving with Google.
Panda Capital Partners Li Xinyi told 21st Century Business Herald reporter that artificial intelligence has reached the critical point of commercialization and this year will be the first year of AI technology landing. From the second half of 2017, the basic technology development of artificial intelligence began to enter the acceleration period. After the basic technology has reached a certain stage, various technologies have begun to enter the commercialization process, and various applications based on artificial intelligence will emerge in large numbers.
Obviously, AI technology is almost similar to a castle in the air if it leaves a specific commercialization scenario. For AI technology, business is not only for application considerations, but also one of the ways to improve technology. If this complements each other, there will be greater breakthroughs.
