"PHC is not just a product, it is a brand new field and a brand new blue ocean ecology. Its capabilities are enough to breed technology giants in the next ten years. In the next ten years, one after another will be born here.
A unicorn company, or even a super unicorn company.”
"Our coastline company will be committed to building and enriching this closed-loop ecological chain based on PHC..."
At the press conference, when Ye Hua talked about the story of "closed-loop ecological chain", all those who wanted to enter PHC suddenly woke up, and then their mood became a mixture of love and hate.
Sure enough!
Anyone who is involved in the technology industry, especially those in the Internet technology industry, when they hear the word "closed-loop ecological chain", they immediately think of the closed-loop ecosystem created by Steve Jobs for Apple.
This means that Coastline Company will also build an application store similar to PHC-Store, which will also mean that as long as content is online on the PHC platform, the other party will get a commission.
Just like Apple, this is the rhythm of making money by relying on countless third-party developers. It can be said that third parties love and hate this kind of closed-loop ecosystem. By the way, they also complained about a wave of Qiao Gang leader, all of whom
If the leader hadn't respected the deceased, he would have wanted to scold Gang Leader Qiao as well.
However, despite the criticism, there are a lot of companies that want to build a closed-loop ecosystem while criticizing, because everyone knows that building a closed-loop ecosystem can create a strong moat and make a lot of money.
Ye Hua's decision is certainly scolded, but as long as it can make money, it's not a big problem. Apple has made a good start, and third parties are willing to accept it, provided they can make money.
Ye Hua did not emphasize the story of "ecology". It was enough to mention it in a few words, because it was told to a third party. These people all understand the meaning and there is no need to elaborate too much.
And Ye Hua knows that the key lies in users and sales. If you can't sell PHC, the story of "ecology" is too colorful, and those third parties won't care about you.
But once PHC is sold and the user base is formed, it means that you have a huge infrastructure. If you don't care, those third parties will naturally flock to it. After all, everything in the world is beneficial.
Therefore, the core is still users and sales, and the final consumer is the premise of everything.
Ye Hua always understood the weight issue very clearly. He paused for a while, walked a few steps on the stage and then said: "If you compare it to a life, PHC is the backbone and the holographic display is the face, but a complete life seems to be still
Lack of an inner soul..."
This statement also aroused the curiosity of many people, and people also heard the implication. Is this a hint that there is another heavyweight product?
Suddenly, Ye Hua said: "Powerful AI is the key to giving PHC its soul."
Many people in the industry were a little surprised. Coastline Company was actually developing artificial intelligence? But they soon became relieved. Today's technology companies are embarrassed to say that they are a technology company if they don't have anything to do with artificial intelligence.
It is by no means an accident that companies like Coastline are developing artificial intelligence.
But what’s surprising is that they can actually launch mature AI applications so quickly? You know, everyone present knows very well that Coastline Company’s conference today is to launch a series of products. This technology development capability is also terrifying!
But more, what everyone is looking forward to is how Ye Hua's achievements in the field of AI will be. Now he is starting to boast, but in the end, whether he can amaze the world like holographic technology is what people are most concerned about.
"Before announcing Shoreline's artificial intelligence products and evaluating it, we may want to understand the current development status of the global artificial intelligence field."
At this moment, Ye Hua's voice echoed throughout the press conference. He walked calmly and calmly on the stage and said:
"Perhaps you have heard through various information channels that artificial intelligence will soon surpass humans. The topic of artificial intelligence in today's era is more popular than ever. It is even said that it will replace the jobs of countless people. Many people are concerned about the development of artificial intelligence.
However, it is not because they are so excited about the development of science and technology, but the real starting point is an anxious mentality."
"I believe that everyone is suddenly so concerned about the field of artificial intelligence. They are more concerned about whether their jobs will be snatched away by artificial intelligence in the foreseeable future."
Netizens who followed the live broadcast of the press conference and fans at the scene nodded silently in their hearts. This is indeed the focus of many people's concerns. After all, jobs are very important.
Ye Hua continued:
"So to what extent has artificial intelligence developed in today's world? It seems to be extremely rapid. Artificial intelligence can already do most jobs, etc. But if you ask experts in the industry, the answer you get is the opposite.
What they care about is that current artificial intelligence still does too little, not too much."
"As for those philosophical issues that discuss artificial intelligence replacing humans, annihilating humans, etc., I can say with certainty that these people are not real experts in artificial intelligence."
As soon as these words came out, the director playfully showed the live broadcast footage to Elon Musk, who was sitting in the front row. A close-up shot of about three seconds stayed on Musk. The latter stared at the stage calmly, with an expression on his face.
I can't tell what the big boss's inner turmoil is at this time.
Some technology product enthusiasts were watching the live broadcast. When they saw this close-up, they thought of what Ye Hua had just said on the stage and instantly understood it.
Because Elon Musk is one of the celebrities who has expressed concerns about artificial intelligence.
At this time, given such a shot, the director showed Li Shizhen's skin.
Barrage also has various skins.
The Iron Man of Silicon Valley also wants to save face, okay?
However, Elon Musk is indeed not an expert in AI. His areas of expertise are rocket recovery technology and electric vehicles. AI is really not his specialty.
At the same time, Ye Hua on the stage said:
“One thing I have to complain about is that individual media and even some mainstream media have exaggerated their publicity about artificial intelligence to the extent that those of us in the AI industry are vomiting blood.”
A burst of low-spirited laughter suddenly erupted from the scene.
"For example, the person I see often mentioned by the media is the late Mr. Hawking. There is no doubt that Mr. Hawking was a great scholar, so what did he do? He was a Ph.D. in physics and a researcher
He is an authoritative expert in the fields of black holes and cosmology, but he has never engaged in artificial intelligence, and Mr. Hawking has suffered from ALS for many years and has been unable to do scientific research."
"As a result, the media regarded him as an expert in the field of artificial intelligence and invited him to talk about the dangers of artificial intelligence. This is a very funny thing in itself, and it is suspected of hyping up hot topics. In my opinion, it is just rubbish.
AI popularity.”
"So why should we take the opinions of some non-professionals as so important, or even regard them as classics and truth? We should look at those senior experts who really study artificial intelligence, and then we will find that they have a kind of caution and fear, including me.
I also feel that the current media talks too much about artificial intelligence.”
"The development of artificial intelligence can be traced back to the 1950s. It is a very tortuous development history, and it is also very helpless, because everyone rushes into it and disperses after a short time. Every time it is wrong
With high hopes, a large number of people entered this field, including a large amount of capital, and finally found that there was no breakthrough and immediately ran away.”
"In recent years, people have once again flocked to it. Now any company feels that as long as it has something to do with artificial intelligence, it will become taller and its market value will double or multiple times. It feels very dreamy and incredible."
"So what is the current situation of artificial intelligence? Most people study artificial intelligence. I think it should be said that it is application. All day long, the media says that artificial intelligence can do this and that, win chess and win games.
Winning, these are actually relatively simple technical routes in the eyes of industry insiders."
"To put it simply, it means collecting big data and labeling the data. For example, those who engage in image recognition technology use a large amount of data for training, and then do a work equivalent to fitting, a multivariate function. You don't know what the function structure looks like.
, but it doesn’t matter, you have big data fitting, which is actually just the idea of a neural network.”
"Finally, after fitting the results and giving a good output for an input, you can identify what the graphic is. The recognition ability is even higher than that of humans."
"Of course this is good, but the premise is that you have to have data support, and it is supported by massive big data. This is actually a relatively low-level technical route for artificial intelligence research, and building large-scale data centers consumes a lot of energy.
"
"Now there is a more advanced route, that is, the alpha-go route, but it still cannot be separated from big data, but the difference is that this data is not manually labeled, but the AI itself is allowed to compete with the AI.
Then let it automatically generate data, which is why alpha-go became so powerful later."
"It started by learning human chess records, and after upgrading again, it became alpha-zero. Why is it called Alpha Zero? Because it does not need to learn human chess records. The only thing he input to it from scratch is the Go rules, and then in this
By playing against yourself within the framework of the rules, you can quickly accumulate data and quickly find the best way to play Go, thus surpassing humans."
"So this is a relatively advanced technical route, and it also requires a lot of research and development capabilities, especially the requirements for computing power and algorithms. The biggest contribution of the alpha-go team is to prove that this road can be taken, so it can be regarded as artificial intelligence
It is a major sign of progress in the development of intelligence, and this has directly led to many of our industries now refreshing their technologies and achieving things that could not be done before, such as image recognition technology. Specifically, the application of face recognition has brought great benefits.
business value.”
"But in my opinion, this route is still too narrow and far from good enough. In my opinion, all the artificial intelligence currently on the market is actually not intelligent. I know that my words will definitely cause controversy, so then
Let’s see how to define intelligence.”
"What I mean is that the current artificial intelligence applications on the market only do data statistics and analysis. You give it big data, and then it learns from it to come up with a set of comparisons based on big data.
People are better, that’s what the so-called big data deep learning means.”
"But is this really the way we humans learn a piece of knowledge? I don't think so at all. For example, parrots and crows, everyone knows that they are two kinds of birds, about the same size. Parrots are very smart when they imitate words, right? But I think
It’s said that parrots are much more mentally handicapped than crows.”
"Why? It seems that parrots are very smart. If you say a few words in front of them and repeat them a few times, they will learn it. Parrots can imitate human speech and it is standard. But if you try to talk to parrots, you will find that
, it doesn’t know what it is saying at all, because it cannot understand what it is saying, it is just a mechanical repetition.”
"Similarly, now there are many so-called chatbots, which are chatbots with artificial intelligence applications that everyone is exposed to. There are also many videos and screenshots of conversations with chatbots on the Internet. At first glance, they are amazing, such as Microsoft Cortana and Xiaomi's Xiaoai.
Classmates...well, I’m not specifically targeting any AI product, I mean all artificial intelligences on the market are the same (hot chicken).”
There was another burst of laughter, and the audience subconsciously added the word "hot chicken" in their hearts. Ye Hua was the only one who dared to say it. He immediately dismissed all AIs on the market. The scene
The media is most happy to see something like this happen.
To make people angry, this is what the media loves to do.
And Ye Hua went on to say:
"Why do you say that? First of all, has it passed the Turing test? As for the wild speculation on the Internet that they deliberately failed the Turing test, that is pure nonsense. The reason is very simple. The upper limit is there. You can't say that it has passed the Turing test.
A three-year-old child tries to understand calculus. If he fails to understand it, just say he did it on purpose. Well, the rumor of this brain hole has been broken, so does it have self-awareness? Obviously, no!"
"I remember that Saudi Arabia granted citizenship to the artificial intelligence Sophia developed by the British. It seemed shocked and caused a heated discussion in the media at the time. But in fact, you really can't talk to it too much. If you talk too much, you will find that it is actually
If you ramble on here and there, just a few words back and forth, you may find that it actually doesn’t know what it’s talking about, just like a parrot.”
"Then why are crows smart? A real example. The crow I am talking about is a real crow, and it was filmed."
At this time, a giant screen was projected at the conference site, playing a long-standing recording with poor quality.
"The crow in the picture got a tall nut and wanted to eat the fruit inside, but couldn't peck the shell. What should I do?"
"So it made an observation and found that tall nuts fell on the road and came out as soon as the wheels of the car were pressed. OK, the crow made this observation. At the same time, it also realized that such cars cannot eat them when they come and go on the road.
Fruity, because it’s too dangerous.”
"Then it made a second observation and discovered that there are traffic lights on the road. Cars will not go when the lights are red. At this time, it is safe to eat the fruit."
"At the same time, the crow made an inference that what was observed at this traffic light intersection was also possible at the other traffic light."
"Look, this is such a smart crow. People may see this example and say that it shows real intelligence. But the paradigm in which crows do things is exactly the opposite of how we usually understand artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence uses
Big data analysis does small tasks, while Crow uses small data to do big tasks, which is completely the opposite."
"What data information did the crow get? It just observed a handful of examples, because it only has one life, and it can't run over and test it on its own, otherwise it would have died n times."
"So, real artificial intelligence can extract the inherent rules from very small and limited data, and finally evolve a very reliable execution paradigm that can be deduced immediately."
"Why can this be done? Because it has a causal relationship, while traditional artificial intelligence is just statistics and correlation data analysis."
"To give another example, the sun will rise when the rooster crows. There is a correlation between the two, but it is not a causal relationship. It does not mean that the sun rises because the rooster crows. In fact, we all know that whether the rooster crows or not, the sun will rise every day.
Rise as usual."
"So there is a core issue here. Causal logic and correlation logic are different, and this is very important."
"Otherwise, if we do image recognition, the basic recognition is its function. For example, people can tell at a glance that this house is a kitchen, a study, a bedroom, etc., because the first thing we think of is what the function of this place is.
, so that many features in the image can be seen immediately. For example, people can easily distinguish between a modern study room and an ancient study room. Although the appearance looks very different, if you use current computers or artificial intelligence to identify it, it will not be possible at all.
You would think that these two are the same thing, and you can't tell them apart, but you can accurately judge at a glance that this is a study room, because its functions are the same."
"This is because people can analyze the causal relationship behind it."
"This point cannot be ignored when studying artificial intelligence. Therefore, if you want to do artificial intelligence, I think you need to consider two points. One is the physical laws, that is, the natural laws of the physical world. For example, how should an object be stable? What kind of shape is needed?
The second is human motivation, which is used to drive people to think. In my own words, it is...self-emotional logical analysis!"
"Our Coastline Company's AI research and development follows this route and has made revolutionary progress..."
By implication, Ye Hua was implying that he had actually created artificial intelligence in the true sense? As soon as he said this, it was tantamount to a depth bomb being detonated, and everyone in the industry at the scene was shocked.
