Cctv news(Reporter Liu Chunyan, Li Wenliang) On August 29th, the 2019 World Artificial Intelligence Conference with the theme of "Smart World, Unlimited Possibilities" opened. Industry leaders from all over the world gathered in Shanghai to start a series of "brainstorming" around AI. Let’s take a look at what they said.
Ma Yun: AI is not a threat, and I never worry about being replaced by computers.
The hottest thing at this conference is the "Double Horse Dialogue" between Ma Yun, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Alibaba Group, and Musk, CEO of Tesla at the opening ceremony. Ma Yun believes that machines are invented by human beings, and people can never create smarter animals than people. Therefore, he never worries about people being replaced by computers, and artificial intelligence can help people understand themselves better. Ma Yun doesn’t think AI is a threat. He said that there are no solutions to many problems today, and there will be in the future. AI can open a new chapter for the whole world and society.
Ma Huateng: AI continues to approach human wisdom
Ma Huateng, Chairman and CEO of Tencent, believes that the global AI field is hot and bright, and the development trend of general artificial intelligence is becoming clearer and clearer. It is an inevitable trend for AI to continue to approach human intelligence and realize the leap-forward development from dedicated artificial intelligence to general artificial intelligence in the next stage.
Ma Huateng believes that AI is increasingly integrated with all walks of life, and the development of artificial intelligence will bring a general intelligent society marked by AI+. The prospect of developing artificial intelligence industry in China is promising, and it will enter a period of rapid growth in the next 10 years.
Elon musk: Artificial intelligence may be smarter than the smartest people.
Elon musk, co-founder and CEO of Tesla, believes that most people underestimate the ability of artificial intelligence and think it may be like a smart person. In fact, artificial intelligence may be smarter than the smartest people. The future development of science and technology may surpass our ability to understand it, and he is not sure whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
Tang Xiaoou: The first word of artificial intelligence is "human"
Tang Xiaoou, the founder of Shangtang Technology, started with the 4.5 billion box office of Nezha: The Magic Boy, and summarized the core elements of AI source innovation. When talking about "AI+ people", he thinks that the first word of artificial intelligence is "people", and AI in China needs a lot of innovative talents. With top talents, first-class AI will come naturally.
Tom Mitchell: Man’s own perceptual limitations will be broken by machines.
Tom Mitchell, the father of machine learning and dean of the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, shared his understanding of AI technology. He believes that AI is further accelerating the development trend of the world. In the future, self-driving cars will have more advanced functions than humans, and human’s own perceptual limitations will definitely be broken through by machines.
Roger Reddy: AI knowledge needs training and popularization.
Roger Reddy, a Turing Prize winner, a foreign academician of China Academy of Engineering and a professor at Carnegie Mellon University in the United States, believes that the new AI paradigm will bring unexpected new breakthroughs. In this era, everyone needs to know more about AI. It is suggested that the government take the lead in formulating AI training plans, so that more citizens can get in touch with and understand AI and carry out AI literacy for the whole people.
Kai-fu Lee: Enterprises that ignore AI may face extinction.
Li Kaifu, founder and CEO of innovation works, said in an interview with the media that AI is the main driving force of the fourth industrial revolution. Traditional industries should not regard AI as a magical field, and traditional companies that ignore AI may lose or disappear, just as they missed embracing the Internet.
Liu Qingfeng: The starting point of AI dividend is the core technological breakthrough.
Liu Qingfeng, chairman of Iflytek, said in his interpretation of the AI industry that the starting point of the application dividend was actually the breakthrough of core technology. Artificial intelligence still needs a certain acceptance time in social application, and its application effect should be proved by statistical data.
Chen Liming: Enterprises need to re-engineer their work processes to cope with shocks.
Chen Liming, chairman of IBM Greater China, believes that AI plays a very important role. Today, all enterprises are faced with various impacts from new technologies. Enterprises should be good at mining their own data and re-engineering their work processes, not only learning technology and business models, but also employee skills, ensuring platform strategy, describing future enterprise architecture, and choosing safe and reliable partners.
