The future in the age of artificial intelligence
How far is AI?
Unmanned driving, face recognition, voice recognition, real-time translation, intelligent security…
As AI technology continues to evolve and mature, new terms and concepts seem to be introduced every day. Alibaba, Tencent, Huawei, Baidu and other Internet giants have also made advance arrangements in the field of ARTIFICIAL intelligence and invested a lot of money in order not to be eliminated by the new era.
So how far is ARTIFICIAL intelligence for the rest of us?
The state has given you the answer!
Interpretation of National Policy
In 2019, the General Office of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the General Office of the State Administration for Market Regulation and the Office of the Bureau of Statistics jointly issued a notice on 13 new occupations, including artificial intelligence engineers and technicians.
This is the first batch of new occupations released by the country since it issued the 2015 edition of the National Occupational Classification Code. The new job information mainly includes: job name, job code, job definition and main job tasks.
“Artificial intelligence Engineering and Technical Personnel” is the first profession directly related to artificial intelligence released by China, which also represents that the profession represented by AI new technology has been recognized and supported by the national level.
Artificial intelligence engineers and technicians are defined as “engineers and technicians engaged in the analysis, research and development of artificial intelligent-related algorithms, deep learning and other technologies, as well as the design, optimization, operation and maintenance, management and application of artificial intelligence systems.”
Engaged in: model, algorithm, chip and other soft and hard technology research and development, system development, deployment and solutions, as well as technical consulting services. Other newly released and changed classes include: Internet of things engineering and technical personnel, big data technology, cloud computing, engineering and technical personnel, digital management, building information model technician, e-sports operating division, e-sports member, unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) pilot, farm manager, Internet installation, industrial robot system operator, industrial robot system operations etc.
At the same time, the Ministry of Education issued a notice announcing the registration and approval results of undergraduate majors in colleges and universities in 2018. The artificial intelligence major has been added to the list of newly approved undergraduate majors, and a total of 35 universities across The country have won the first batch of construction qualifications. Artificial intelligence has been established as an undergraduate major, and the cultivation of artificial intelligence talents in universities is expected to enter the fast track.
In recent years, with the popularization of ARTIFICIAL intelligence technology and the urgent demand for talents in the market, national policies will continue to tilt toward ARTIFICIAL intelligence, and relevant laws and regulations continue to improve, talent training and market planning will continue to follow up.
Talent status quo
According to Element AI’s Annual Global AI Talent Report 2019, the number of AI practitioners worldwide has increased, but top Talent is still in short supply. At the same time, the mobility of AI talents is very high, with about a third of AI talents not staying to work in the countries where they are pursuing their doctorate degrees. Overall, ai is a dynamic and international field, according to the report.
According to the report, 22,400 people presented papers at machine learning conferences in 2018, up 36 percent from 2015 and 19 percent from 2018. The countries with the biggest impact on AI were the US, China, the UK, Australia and Canada, in that order.
More than 44 percent received their PHDS in the United States, nearly 11 percent in China, followed by the United Kingdom (6 percent), Germany (5 percent), Canada, France and Japan (4 percent each), according to statistics compiled by the report. Meanwhile, 46% of the authors in the sample work in the US, followed by China (11%) and the UK (7%), and Canada, Germany and Japan (4% each). The report also notes that the United States and China are the most attractive countries for researchers in machine learning. American employers are among the most likely to attract foreign-educated researchers in the world. China came in second, attracting a quarter of the number of researchers attracted to the US.
As for the continuous development of artificial intelligence, many netizens hold different opinions and attitudes.
Some netizens are optimistic that AI can greatly improve work efficiency, liberate productivity and improve people’s quality of life.
Others disagree, raising more questions about ethics, information security and employment in the future.
No matter what social changes ai will bring, we should rationally accept AI.
Looking back, the Internet, smartphones, and industrial automation are all explosive growth and high degree of certainty in the technology industry. We are always looking for, where is the next certainty? We think artificial intelligence is going to be one of them, and with big data and algorithmic architecture advances, we’re starting to see light in this area.
