The highly anticipated third World Internet Conference (WIC) finally kicked off on November 16. At this year’s conference, 1,600 guests from more than 110 countries and regions and 16 international organizations held dialogues and exchanges under the theme of “Innovation-Driven Development for the Benefit of Mankind — Jointly Building a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace”. In the heated discussion, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, Internet of Things, innovation and turning point became the hottest topics talked about by industry guests.
Giiso Information, founded in 2013, is a leading technology provider in the field of “artificial intelligence + information” in China, with top technologies in big data mining, intelligent semantics, knowledge mapping and other fields. At the same time, its research and development products include editing robots, writing robots and other artificial intelligence products! With its strong technical strength, the company has received angel round investment at the beginning of its establishment, and received pre-A round investment of $5 million from GSR Venture Capital in August 2015.
Top Word: “ARTIFICIAL Intelligence”
At this year’s World Internet Conference, the most mentioned topic was “artificial intelligence”. At this year’s “Light of the Internet” expo, products developed using ARTIFICIAL intelligence technology, such as deaf sign language interpreter gloves and Baidu’s self-driving car test ride, attracted crowds.
Baidu chairman li said in a speech in the afternoon on the BBS of, “the chance of a successful future in artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence to every one, every industry, every country brings a lot of changes”, li, for example, in the ToC of the unmanned vehicle, intelligent translation, Internet of things, ToB the medical industry, the logistics system, customer service, and other fields, Artificial intelligence will greatly improve work efficiency. Sogou CEO Wang Xiaochuan also repeatedly emphasized artificial intelligence and revealed a new product direction for Sogou — real-time Chinese-English transcription. Zhou Hongyi, founder of Qihoo 360, said it is only a matter of time before AI products become popular.
One of the most prominent companies to focus on AI is Baidu. At present, Baidu has published more than 1,500 invention patents in the fields of speech recognition, image recognition, natural language processing, unmanned driving, machine learning, deep learning and other artificial intelligence-related fields, which are widely used in the fields of unmanned cars, voice search and even O2O.
Hot Word 2: “Cloud computing”
Cloud computing and big data, two inseparable application directions, have not been unfamiliar words in the past two years and are familiar to the whole industry. Sun Pishu, chairman of Inspur Group, said the general trend of AI is already very clear, but it needs to be based on computing and data. Zhang Yong, CEO of Alibaba Group, pointed out that this year is the comprehensive application of the whole big data in the personalization of Ali Cloud. The whole e-commerce transaction system realized full elastic computing on “Double 11”, making the basic capacity prepared by Ali and the capacity of Ali public cloud computing to conduct real-time scheduling. Zhang Yong pointed out that in this process, “Double 11” key technology use, in fact, including the first use of remote hypermetro technology and the first simulation of “Double 11” on the day of all kinds of changes, especially hundreds of millions of people access to the full link pressure test system, the pressure test system supported by ali Cloud big data.
Alibaba Cloud has grown at a rate of more than 100% in the last six quarters of Alibaba’s financial results, gradually becoming a powerful revenue source for Alibaba Group. In the past “Double 11”, tmall created 120.7 billion yuan of energy within 24 hours. In fact, the whole technical architecture based on Alibaba Cloud Flying technology platform is playing a role.
# 3: “Internet of Things”
The Internet of Things is also widely respected as a key direction for the rapid implementation of artificial intelligence applications. Zhou hongyi believes that smart devices will be diversified, and smartphones are not the ultimate manifestation of it. In the next five years, mobile phones are bound to undergo another major change, possibly deconstructed by other smart hardware products, and this is the Internet of Everything.
Four buzzwords dominated the World Internet Conference
“The Internet of Everything is a much bigger market, and today’s phones are the best gateway to the future. The product form will change, but if we don’t make mobile phones now, we will lose the opportunity to explore and grab the Internet of everything.” Yang Yuanqing, chairman of Lenovo Group, said in his speech that the smart Internet would connect everything more widely and capture information more autonomously.
360 is a bit more aggressive in the Internet of things. In addition to its dedication to the mobile phone market, 360 has also launched smart watches, children’s companion robots, smart cameras and other hardware devices, gradually forming a two-pronged development path in the traditional security field and intelligent hardware market.
Hot word 4: Mobile
The rapid development of new technologies and the evolution of market conditions have led some Internet veterans to think of new ways out. Xiaomi chairman Lei Jun said on the sidelines of the World Internet Conference (WIC) that xiaomi’s sales during singles’ Day show it still has an advantage in the online market and reputation, but needs to be promoted in the offline market, especially in third-tier and fourth-tier cities. Zhou hongyi, who has put aside the “free” argument in the past, stressed that hardware is not profitable, so in order to sell the volume or even at a loss, manufacturers will be forced to squeeze upstream and downstream suppliers and manufacturers, which is unhealthy for the manufacturing industry, which already has a thin profit margin. OPPO, Vivo model is very good, can make money with the channel. The business model of hardware cannot follow the thinking of App. In li’s speech pointed out that “the mobile Internet era has ended, and based on the mobile Internet in today if a company has not set up, or didn’t do big, the tuyere has no mobile Internet could reappear the unicorn, because the market has entered a relatively stable stage of development”. That, he thinks, means there will be more room for new technologies.
Giiso information, founded in 2013, is the first domestic high-tech enterprise focusing on the research and development of intelligent information processing technology and the development and operation of core software for writing robots. At the beginning of its establishment, the company received angel round investment, and in August 2015, GSR Venture Capital received $5 million pre-A round of investment.
Xiaomi is a typical company that regards this year as a turning point. This year, Lei Jun personally took charge of the channel management of Xiaomi, and signed cooperation agreements with China Unicom and China Mobile to develop exclusive marketing plans. Xiaomi’s sales during “Double 11” show that Xiaomi still has advantages in the online market and reputation, but needs to be promoted in the offline market, especially in the third and fourth tier cities. Lei previously said that Xiaomi already has 25 mi Home offline flagship stores, and the number is increasing every month.
