Pei Qian did not give the two people a chance to raise objections and went directly to the next topic.
"Then the next step is to determine the next main research direction of the Roma Artificial Intelligence Laboratory."
"Do you have any ideas?"
Pei Qian still fished first as before.
Otherwise, if the opinion you put forward happens to conflict with the department head, it will be difficult to change it.
Shen Renjie said: "Mr. Pei, the current research in our laboratory is mainly focused on the conventional applications of artificial intelligence. To put it simply, it is the upgrade and optimization of artificial intelligence on mobile phones, such as those mobile phones that AEEIS artificial intelligence is responsible for. Functions are all within the scope of our research.”
Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, which was the main reason why he chose to acquire this company in the first place.
Artificial intelligence assistants on mobile phones, smart speakers, smart homes, etc. This is currently the most widely used field of artificial intelligence and the highest degree of commercialization. It is also the most consistent with Tenda's current industry.
The research results of this laboratory can be directly used by AEEIS, making AEEIS on OTTO mobile phones more usable. At the same time, Changyou is now developing various smart homes, so research results in this field are crucial to OTTO technology.
Moreover, this field is relatively easy to produce results.
Because the current stage of artificial intelligence, to put it bluntly, is artificial intelligence. The more artificial intelligence, the smarter it becomes.
Take AEEIS for example. Its functions are basically supported by a large amount of code. Although it behaves very intelligently, it is actually the result of program operations and is preset.
As for other research directions, the relative difficulty will be higher, and it will be more difficult to produce results.
Pei Qian couldn't help but fell silent.
Obviously, these are not very complicated or profound truths, and he understands them.
In this case, you definitely cannot choose this field!
As for what field to choose, Pei Qian himself didn't know, but at least Shen Renjie and Jiang Yuan had ruled out a correct answer for him.
Pei Qian coughed twice: "Research in this area is not impossible, but it does not need to be the main research direction."
"Just divide it into a small group of people and study it casually."
It is not easy for Pei Qian to just ask them to give up completely. After all, most of their research results are in this field, and it would be too outrageous to ask them all to give up.
But it’s definitely not possible to continue to dig into this field, because it’s too easy to get into trouble.
It is best to invest only a small part of the manpower in researching this aspect, and just mess around casually to save face. Don't try too hard to achieve any big results.
Shen Renjie was stunned: "Ah?"
Previously, he told Mr. Pei that he should determine the main research direction of the laboratory, which meant choosing a subdivided area as the focus of efforts in the current field.
I have never considered other fields besides this!
Because the laboratory has too little accumulation in other aspects, and research and development is very difficult, and it is not easy to produce results, it is easy to do it in vain.
Seeing the stunned looks in Shen Renjie and Jiang Yuan's eyes, Pei Qian knew it was time for him to use his big mouth escape technique.
His expression immediately became serious: "There are two very fatal problems in this field of current research."
"First, there is serious homogeneity and no differentiated competition effect at all."
"Not to mention anything else, how many companies and laboratories in China are currently researching this direction? Almost all mobile phone manufacturers are developing their own artificial intelligence assistants, not to mention the leader Xunke Technology."
"What's the point of fighting them in this field?"
"It's better to just buy Xunke's ready-made technology, and let some of us make minor repairs on this basis."
"Second, the ceiling is too low and the goals are not long-term enough."
"Even if it can achieve certain results, how much benefit can it bring to us?"
"It's nothing more than making the AEEIS artificial intelligence function richer and launching a few more smart gadgets. But if we can do this, can't other companies do it?"
"How rich can the functions of AEEIS artificial intelligence be? Can it bring any substantial experience improvement to our mobile phone users?"
"Obviously, this is a low-risk, low-return area."
"If we want to do low-risk, low-yield things, we can just buy off-the-shelf technology. Why set up our own laboratory?"
"So, you must choose a high-risk, high-yield direction!"
"There are no key results within one or two years and we have been losing money. This is completely okay. Our goals must be more long-term!"
"In other words, you can research in any direction, but you cannot continue to research in the current direction; you can spend any amount of money on research, but the goal must be long-term."
"Of course, don't hold back your big moves all the time and get off the mark. Occasionally, you can achieve some small results, and that's also a result!"
The reason why I added this sentence at the end is mainly because Pei Qian is worried that the laboratory will not produce results for a long time, which will lead to delayed settlement. Anyway, as long as there are some results, just make a product and sell it, and it does not violate the system rules.
What Pei Qian said so confidently made both of them look ashamed.
Look at Mr. Pei’s vision and realm!
Sure enough, the leader of such a large group company thinks differently from ordinary employees!
Shen Renjie nodded quickly: "I understand, Mr. Pei, I will definitely regard what you said as the creed of all employees of the Roma Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, strictly abide by it, and always remember it!"
Pei Qian nodded with great satisfaction.
Well, yes, Shen Renjie is mature and prudent, and he seems to be a very obedient person, which makes people feel reassured.
As for Jiang Yuan, he was promoted to the person in charge not long ago and hasn't caused any trouble. He should be much better than Chang You.
Pei Qian stood up and said, "Okay, I'll leave first."
At present, he has only helped Roma Artificial Intelligence Laboratory to eliminate one major option, but he has not pointed out a very clear direction.
This was mainly because Pei Qian was afraid that his European Emperor attributes would show up again, so he pointed out an explosive point with just a finger.
Anyway, let Shen Renjie figure it out on his own. As for what he will come up with, just leave it to chance.
…
After seeing off Mr. Pei, Jiang Yuan and Shen Renjie returned to the conference room again.
Shen Renjie couldn't help but sigh: "When I met Mr. Pei for the first time, I really didn't expect him to be such a person."
Jiang Yuan asked: "What kind of person is he?"
Shen Renjie thought for a while: "There is a maturity that is not commensurate with his age. I have never seen this kind of pattern and vision in anyone else."
"I have to say that the temperament of the entire Tengda Group is very similar to that of Mr. Pei. They are all so young and full of energy."
Shen Renjie is almost middle-aged and has dealt with many bosses or CEOs of large companies in the industry, and has seen a lot of ups and downs. But after coming to Tenda, he was still surprised by all kinds of magical things.
For example, Jiang Yuan is young enough, but Mr. Pei is actually even younger than Jiang Yuan. Chang You, the former OTTO Technology, only served as the person in charge for one year before being transferred to other departments. The key is that his performance is very good. Stand out and get excellent employees.
This kind of thing is unheard of in other companies.
Jiang Yuan smiled slightly: "Just get used to it."
Shen Renjie's expression became melancholy again: "But then again, Mr. Pei didn't give us a very clear instruction."
Jiang Yuan slowly took a sip of tea: "Mr. Shen, this is because you don't know something."
"Following Tengda's standard work procedures, the next step is the highlight of our work."
Shen Renjie: "Ah? Could it be that..."
Jiang Yuan nodded slightly: "Yes, Mr. Pei should have given us enough hints in his previous words. Now we need to interpret it carefully."
Shen Renjie blinked, completely confused.
Jiang Yuan had expected this. Although Shen Renjie was older, he had never worked at Tenda and could not get Mr. Pei's ideas. Therefore, he still had to do it himself.
He took out his mobile phone and searched for the keyword "驽马".
"First of all, the name Mr. Pei gave to the laboratory is very elegant."
"From a literal point of view, the slave horse is an inferior horse, which does not seem to be a good name. However, there is a famous sentence in "Encouraging Learning", which is called: A horse leaps, but it cannot take ten steps; a slave horse rides ten times, and the merit lies in perseverance. .”
"It means that although a thousand-mile horse can run very fast, if it only jumps once, it cannot jump ten steps; and if an inferior horse keeps running, it can run very far as long as it persists."
"Combined with the previous name of the laboratory, 'Qilin,' the meaning becomes even more obvious."
"What Mr. Pei means is that we need to lower our posture."
"The field of artificial intelligence is too profound and complex. It is not an exaggeration to say that it represents the future of mankind. In such a field, we should always adhere to the apprenticeship mentality and move forward step by step like a rogue horse. The key is It’s not about how fast you run at the beginning, but how long you last.”
"So, what Mr. Pei means is that we must not be complacent and settle down with a small amount of wealth. We must always correct our mentality, recognize our own shortcomings, always take a long-term view, and persist in research, so that we can occupy a place in this field!"
Shen Renjie suddenly realized: "I see! So, the name Roma Artificial Intelligence Laboratory contains a lot of meanings! Not only is it not vulgar, but it also has a very profound cultural connotation?"
Jiang Yuan continued: "As for the next research direction of the Roma Laboratory..."
"Although Mr. Pei did not point it out clearly, he pointed out a general range."
"Mr. Pei asked us to compete with other laboratories in a misaligned manner. We must have a long-term vision and give full play to our comparative advantages."
"In my opinion... how about focusing our research on the application of artificial intelligence in the gaming field?"
Shen Renjie was stunned for a moment: "Game field? It makes sense!"
"Tengda's games are excellent, and the various AIs and assistants in the games are indeed one of the research directions of artificial intelligence."
"If we can make some achievements in the game's AI, it will indeed play a greater role than improving the functions of AEEIS!"
"Okay, then it's settled. A small group of people will be allocated to conduct research in the fields of AEEIS artificial intelligence and smart homes, and the main research direction will be in the field of games!"
