China-US Collaboration | AI Conference 2018 Beijing Is in the Countdown!
There are so many artificial intelligence conferences, why is the "O'Reilly and Intel Artificial Intelligence 2018 Beijing Conference" the only one you can't miss?
From April 10 to 13, O'ReillyMedia and Intel will bring the original Silicon Valley AI Conference to Beijing. The greatest charm of this authentic AI feast is that it will focus on "exploring opportunities to apply AI in business", and you can witness and experience the earth-shaking changes that AI brings to business applications, rather than just talking about it on paper or drawing cakes to satisfy your hunger.
“AI+” has become a trend
Industry experts predict that in the next four to five years, if companies do not have artificial intelligence as an aid in decision-making, then the decision-making is likely to be wrong. As the tide of artificial intelligence sweeps the world, Chinese corporate users must not fall behind!
Artificial intelligence was written into this year's "Government Work Report" again. Artificial intelligence, which has risen to a national strategy, will undoubtedly enter the fast lane of industrialization and large-scale development. The three major elements that promote the development of artificial intelligence - computing power, data, and algorithms are already complete. "Cloud computing + big data + artificial intelligence" will become a powerful driving force for promoting the transformation of traditional industries and the digital transformation of enterprises. In the fields of security, finance, medical care, education, retail, robotics, and intelligent driving, AI applications are showing an explosive trend, and "AI+" has become a trend.
Market research firm Tractica predicts that revenue from direct and indirect applications of AI software will grow from $1.38 billion in 2016 to $59.75 billion in 2025. Undoubtedly, the AI market has broad prospects, and the key issue now is how to turn the AI market enthusiasm into application enthusiasm. This is the inevitable process for all new technologies from birth to popularization.
According to the current development trend, in the next decade, cloud computing will create a more powerful infrastructure, and AI will provide new productivity. The so-called "AI+" means that on the one hand, AI should be superimposed with various new technologies and new tools that are constantly emerging; on the other hand, AI should be internalized into a capability and service that matches different industries and different application scenarios.
In the field of basic AI research, there is still a certain gap between China and the United States, but in terms of commercial application of AI, China is showing a trend of blossoming in many places and a hundred flowers blooming, leading the world. Many big names in the field of artificial intelligence in Europe and the United States, as well as experts, scholars and industry application leaders from the field of artificial intelligence in China will attend this conference. AI Conference 2018 is a place where cutting-edge scientific research and business are integrated and collided. This is a hall for everyone to discuss in depth the technology and development trends of artificial intelligence, especially focusing on how artificial intelligence technology can be applied in the real world, helping enterprises to transform digitally, and improving people's lives. Here, you can carefully analyze cases, delve into the latest research results, learn how to implement artificial intelligence technology in actual projects, and share best practices and experiences in intelligent engineering and applications. Artificial intelligence is changing the landscape of the business world, and AI Conference 2018 gives you the opportunity to gain insight.
AIConvenient access to the ground
Among the "Top Ten Strategic Technology Trends in 2018" released by Gartner, the first one is "AI Foundation". Enterprises will use AI to improve decision-making mechanisms, reshape business models and ecosystems, and reshape customer experience. This situation will continue until 2025.
Just like the application of cloud computing and big data, the implementation of AI must also be combined with specific industry applications to explore a scenario-based application development path. To achieve AI transformation, clarifying the application scenarios is the key. At present, the conditions for transformation to AI in the fields of finance, entertainment, security, etc. are the most mature.
AI Conference 2018 is a "pragmatic" conference on artificial intelligence, focusing on how machine intelligence is used in practical applications. The conference organized a series of topics, focusing on the actual application and trends of artificial intelligence in several major industries, including financial services, health care and medical care, transportation and logistics (including self-driving cars), media and advertising and entertainment, retail and e-commerce, telecommunications, manufacturing and industrial automation. It can be said that the industries and applications that are most closely integrated with artificial intelligence and have the most commercial prospects are all included in one fell swoop.
Enterprises should be brave enough to open up their AI platforms, connect the technical capabilities and computing resources of AI enterprises with the data and application needs of traditional enterprises, effectively improve the industry's operational efficiency, and create new products. AI should be further integrated and innovated with the real economy. For example, in the future production and manufacturing process, AI can be applied to certain specific scenarios to improve management and reduce costs.
In some vertical fields, artificial intelligence can already play a role. Huawei Cloud applies EI (enterprise intelligence) to manufacturing, which can increase the equipment yield from 99.2% to 99.55%; using EI in sales can increase the accuracy of sales forecasts from 50% to 92%; in terms of intelligent transportation, Huawei Cloud cooperated with Shenzhen traffic police to shorten the waiting time of vehicles at intersections by 24%. Kingsoft Cloud has achieved multiple breakthroughs based on its AI commercial capabilities. For example, in the financial field, Kingsoft Cloud has helped Xinwang Bank, China Merchants Bank, and Xingye Digital Finance to build large-scale, diversified, and distinctive cloud industry solutions and management platforms in one stop; in the medical field, using intelligent auxiliary diagnosis technology, Kingsoft Cloud can help doctors complete voice medical record entry, safe medication guidance, basic auxiliary diagnosis, and improve work efficiency. Recently, Beijing issued Baidu the first batch of temporary license plates for autonomous driving test trials in Beijing, and Baidu's driverless cars officially began road testing. On March 16, Baidu also reached a comprehensive cooperation with Skyworth. The two parties will integrate Baidu's AI core capabilities and Skyworth's advantages in the field of home appliances to jointly create a leading smart home and IoT service system. Li Yanhong said at last year's Baidu World Conference that Baidu is no longer an Internet company, but an artificial intelligence company.
In the future, in order to promote the rapid implementation of artificial intelligence in China, we should first strengthen the integration of artificial intelligence and the real economy; secondly, make great efforts to cultivate high-end talents in artificial intelligence and promote technological progress; thirdly, increase the intensity of data openness and promote the development of data governance; finally, gradually deepen the scenario-based exploration of artificial intelligence in the field of the real economy. Talking about the hot spots of artificial intelligence development in 2018, Ben Lorica, chief data scientist of O'Reilly Media Group, pointed out: "In the future, we will see more automated application cases, especially in enterprises. The artificial intelligence community will further eliminate concerns about privacy, ethics and responsibility of artificial intelligence."
At the AI Conference 2018, you will have the opportunity to meet with the most authoritative experts in the field of artificial intelligence. The AI experts from Baidu, Google, eBay, Microsoft, Alibaba, Amazon, IBM, Berkeley, Stanford and Oxford University will come together as never before. It is now certain that the senior leaders of the artificial intelligence laboratories of BAT will attend.
Do you want to know the latest developments and trends of artificial intelligence technology? Do you want to know the latest applications of artificial intelligence in various industries and fields? What are you waiting for? See you at AI Conference 2018!
