In 2017, artificial intelligence set off an unprecedented wave of attention.
This is also the year when artificial intelligence has risen to national strategy. In July, the State Council issued the Notice on the Development Planning of a New Generation of Artificial Intelligence. In December, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the “Three-Year Action Plan for Promoting the Development of a New Generation of Artificial Intelligence Industry (2018-2020)â€.
For the University of Science and Technology, which has more than 70% of the Chinese voice market, this is also a year of repeated breakthroughs: in August, the world record for global lung nodule testing was refreshed, and the accuracy of reading was 94.1%; 11 In the month, its heavyweight product, the Artificial Intelligence Robot Wisdom Assistant, became the first robot in the world to pass the National Physician Qualification Test.
In November, the Ministry of Science and Technology announced the first batch of four national artificial intelligence open innovation platforms, which were based on the intelligent voice platform built by Keda Xunfei. In December, the Ministry of Science and Technology issued a notice to approve the establishment of a national key experiment on cognitive intelligence based on the University of Science and Technology. room.
During the 2017 Guangzhou Fortune Global Forum in early December, the 21st Century Business Herald interviewed Liu Qingfeng, Chairman of the Board of Science and Technology, with other media.
Liu Qingfeng told 21st Century Business Herald that artificial intelligence will bring about two changes in human life. One is to change the way human-computer interaction changes. The other is that machines can make many excellent human abilities replicated, allowing humans to work from simple labor. Freed up and engaged in more valuable work.
In Liu Qingfeng's view, the industry pattern of artificial intelligence will be determined in the next 3-5 years, and enterprises that are more open and deep-rooted in the vertical field will be more likely to win opportunities.
"Let humans stand on the shoulders of artificial intelligence"
"21st Century": Many people are paying attention to the impact of artificial intelligence on ordinary people, especially the possibility of artificial intelligence replacing human work. What do you think of this trend?
Liu Qingfeng: There are a lot of third-party analysis recently. We also recognize it. For example, we take 365 social industries and analyze the areas in which artificial intelligence may replace people. The highest replacement rate is the mechanical and repeating of customer service personnel, stenographers and bank tellers. The position, in fact, humans did not like these positions.
In addition, even the need for knowledge accumulation, learning and memory, and clear logic work may be gradually replaced. For example, the number of counter traders at Goldman Sachs has been reduced from 600 to 2, which is indeed a big trend.
The final general conclusion is that there are three types of jobs that are difficult to replace. The first category is the need for communication, the so-called art of human training, artificial intelligence is difficult to do in the short term; the second is the need for empathy, emotion, such as a career like a teacher; the third category is the need Reasoning ability, creativity and inspiration. Therefore, everyone should understand the development of artificial intelligence and try to integrate themselves into the trend of human-machine coupling.
It should be noted that even without artificial intelligence, the labor structure will change with the progress of society, just like the disappearance of the coachman. With the continuous improvement of the education level of citizens, the ability to master the Internet is becoming stronger and stronger, and many traditional positions are replaced in accordance with the laws of social development.
However, because of the emergence of AI, the production capacity of the entire society has been improved as never before. The protection of basic survival materials is not a problem. Those who are replaced by work will not be hungry and will not be able to heal without medical treatment. Artificial intelligence will make The cost of medical treatment has been greatly reduced. It can send the best hospital doctors and the best teachers to every family. Of course, when a lot of work is replaced and new jobs have not yet been created, the social security system for the general public must keep up.
In addition, AI makes ubiquitous entertainment ubiquitous, satisfying people's emotional and individual needs, so I think artificial intelligence is to make society better.
"21st Century": You said that artificial intelligence should go from the empowerment industry to empowering individuals. How do you understand this? Does everyone need to become a “technical expert� Will this further create an “information gap�
Liu Qingfeng: In May of this year, the Alpha Egg Artificial Intelligence Robot of the University of Science and Technology and the PK Science Knowledge of the Talented Youth League of Guangzhou, these talented youngsters were selected from the Guangzhou Science Popularization Competition, three junior high school students and three high school students. 90 points against 70 points to defeat the talented youth group.
After the end, we told everyone that without panic, the knowledge of people and machine PK does not make much sense. This is like having no meaning with people playing chess. It should be that people carry robots, teachers and parents never Imagined things that embody the creative characteristics of people.
Our hope is that AI will shift from the enabling industry to empowering individuals, making AI as accessible as water and electricity. I will give you an artificial intelligence assistant today, which can help you solve 5% of your work, reach 20% after half a year, 50% after three years, and 80% after five years. You only need to make decisions, ideas and inspirations. In terms of work, it is only then that human beings stand on the shoulders of artificial intelligence.
