[Netease smart news December 7 news] artificial intelligence, it has a well-known name - AI, has become a topic we have talked about for many years. However, those who followed their progress recently pointed out that the development of artificial intelligence in 2017 was much faster than in previous years. This hot topic has entered the media, corporate board of directors and even the government's internal vision. One of the reasons why it enters our main vision is that things that haven't been implemented in decades have suddenly started to work, and this has exceeded some of their thoughts just as an embedded function or tool, which has led us to 2018 The expectations for the development of artificial intelligence in the year are very high.
Here are a few reasons why humans have made the greatest progress in artificial intelligence this year. Before entering these four preconditions that made artificial intelligence progress in the past five years, it is important to understand the meaning of artificial intelligence. Then we can carefully study these four preconditions to determine how they will affect the situation next year.
What is artificial intelligence?
Basically, artificial intelligence is defined as a science that lets computers do some of the smart behavior that humans can accomplish. However, artificial intelligence has been developing for 50 years but it has progressed very slowly. This has brought a profound understanding of this issue. Fortunately, this year has made considerable progress, and we opened the possibility of further development in 2018.
Prerequisites for AI to be successful in 2017 and beyond
Now, everything can be connected to our devices. For example, artificial intelligence can launch a project on your desktop computer and then complete the work you need on a smartphone or tablet connected to the computer. Ray Kurzweil believes that eventually humans will be able to use sensors to connect our brain and cloud databases. The Internet was originally designed to connect to computers, and now it has evolved to connect to our mobile devices, and sensors can already connect to the Internet. In the near future, I believe we can connect our brains to the cloud.
Another factor that artificial intelligence has become more advanced is that computing has become more liberal. In the 18 months prior to this, it was necessary to make the speed of the new chip twice as fast as the original chip, and the cost was high. Marc Andreessen claimed that the chip currently under study is processing at the same speed, but The cost is only half the original. Based on Marc Andreessen's point of view, in the future we will see that cheaper processors are sold at a cheap price and the processor can run on all systems, and its computing power will be able to handle the problems that were not solved five years ago. problem.
Another component of the development of artificial intelligence is data, and data is becoming a new driving force, and in the past decade, this new momentum has been able to support the digital processing model. At the time, data could be retrieved through our mobile devices and developed to be tracked by sensors, and new data sources were already available in a wider range of ways, including video, social media, and digital images. Compared to the past, we can only establish models at a certain level. We now describe the data more accurately. This means that future accuracy based on data processing will increase even more.
Finally, the fourth factor driving the development of artificial intelligence is that machine learning is being transformed into a new internal combustion engine. It can even find information in the data by combining mathematical models and algorithms. These complex information patterns are handled by the machine to deal with the problems they need to solve - such as whether the new data is similar to what they want, whether it is suitable for predicting future results, and so on. Virtual personal assistants are based on artificial intelligence, such as Siri and Cortana, which can solve our problems in a very accurate way and predict the results on a daily basis. Virtual personal assistants will continue to be used in 2018 and beyond, and they will be able to do more with the continuous development and evolution of artificial intelligence.
The development of artificial intelligence has made great progress compared to decades ago. Especially this year, many experts were surprised and excited about the progress made during the decades since the birth of artificial intelligence. Now we can expect that artificial intelligence will bring more help to our work and study in 2018, and possibly auto-driving cars that will be released soon, while smart cars based on artificial intelligence will probably reduce about 90% of traffic accidents. Let us welcome to the future of artificial intelligence!
