Artificial intelligence is popular all over the world, and various headlines are all around the artificial intelligence industry. Companies are also building their own artificial intelligence teams.
Can this boom continue?
Andrew Ng, chief scientist at Baidu Research Institute, is a big brain in machine learning and artificial intelligence. He said that advances in computer processing chip design will continue to bring performance improvements and breakthroughs in the foreseeable future. "A number of hardware device vendors have already published their roadmaps. I am very confident that they are reliable, and I believe we will get more computing power and faster networks in the next few years," Wu said.
In the past, the field of artificial intelligence has experienced rapid progress and enthusiasm in several stages, and each time it will quickly fall into the cold wave of investment and interest. The industry calls it “the winter of artificial intelligenceâ€. The first cold wave occurred in the 1970s, when progress was slow and government funding was exhausted; another cold wave occurred in the 1980s, when the boom did not achieve the expected commercial impact.
However, there has not been a match so far today. Researchers in artificial intelligence are carrying higher and higher salaries to conduct basic research, and companies are building their own teams to allow them to incubate major business breakthroughs.
Breakthroughs in recent years have benefited from the development of a powerful “deep learning†system. A few years ago, researchers discovered that large deep neural networks can be trained to identify things through samples, and that accuracy is comparable to humans. This has brought tremendous progress to the picture and voice recognition system.
Wu said that these systems will only become more powerful. This will not only improve the accuracy of existing deep learning tools, but also introduce technology into new areas, such as analytics and generative languages.
More importantly, hardware development will provide continuous support for emerging artificial intelligence technologies.
"If our performance can be improved by 10 times, I will be able to carry out a variety of experiments as I wish," Wu said. He gave an example. If you have more computer skills, we don't need a variety of different image processing algorithms, just create an algorithm that can handle all the image-related tasks.
Last week, the Neuroinformation Processing System Conference in Barcelona brought together the world's top artificial intelligence experts. The scale of the conference has expanded from a few hundred people a few years ago to more than 6,000 this year, which illustrates how hot the concept of artificial intelligence is.
"This is definitely a slogan, but I think there is a strong driving force behind real value, so it won't stop as it did before," Wu said.
Salesforce chief scientist, renowned machine learning and linguistics expert Richard Socher, said that with the advancement of massive data and machine learning algorithms, this will keep the momentum of development.
Salesforce, which provides sales management and customer relationship management cloud tools, has also taken an important step in the field of artificial intelligence this year, and they have bought Socher's startup Metamind. Salesforce is now also offering simple machine learning tools for other companies, such as photo recognition systems.
Socher said that until now, the display of machine learning in the consumer space was dominated by several large companies. Once this type of technology is popularized, it will have a huge impact. "If we increase the efficiency of 150,000 companies using Saleforce by 1% through machine learning, the US GDP will increase," he said.
Socher believes that the application of machine learning in different industries will maintain a period of interest in artificial intelligence. “I can't imagine that there will be an artificial intelligence winter in the future, and even if there is, it will not be as severe as the previous ones,†he said.
