On December 27, the Baidu Create Conference (AI Developer Conference) was opened, which was the first large-scale conference held in the metaverse in China. Baidu Chairman and CEO Robin Li said in his speech: "In the era of human-machine symbiosis", China will usher in the golden decade of AI. In the next 10 years, AI will become a powerful tool to change the world, thousands of industries will be reconstructed, people's living space will be greatly expanded, and the value of technology will be fully developed.
Robin Li said that as a collection of AI technology accumulation and industrial practice, Baidu Brain's daily call volume has exceeded 1 trillion times, which not only prepares an "AI toolbox" for creators, but also provides a technical "big base" for the intelligent transformation of society and industry.
Robin Li judged that intelligent transportation will be a major change that will affect the next 10-40 years, which can make the purchase restriction no longer restricted within 5 years and basically solve the congestion problem within 10 years. He believes that intelligent transportation can solve three major problems: First, reduce road safety accidents by 90%. Second, the system solves the congestion problem. Third, autonomous driving and intelligent transportation can help reduce carbon emissions. The data shows that 94% of traffic accidents are caused by human factors, and autonomous driving will eliminate human factors. As technology matures, autonomous driving will be safer than human drivers. At the same time, Baidu's intelligent road system is achieving unimpeded traffic through vehicle-road collaboration. Experimental data prove that when all intersections in a city are intelligent and city-level regional information control optimization, the traffic efficiency can be improved by 15%-30%.
AI has the ability to perceive and control, will be widely used in the aerospace industry, can make the future lunar research station more intelligent, can also be applied to unattended scientific exploration and the development and utilization of resources, Robin Li is looking forward to, their unmanned vehicles can drive to the moon.
Robin Li also revealed the latest progress of Baidu's AI technology and business to the outside world: Baidu deep learning platform Feipao has gathered 4.06 million developers, served more than 157,000 enterprises and institutions, and created 476,000 models; The self-driving travel service platform "Radish Run" will be expanded to 65 cities in 2025 and 100 cities in 2030.
At the same time, Robin Li announced that Jidu's first automotive robot will be unveiled in 2022 and mass production in 2023. According to reports, the automotive robot developed by Jidu has L4 level automatic driving capabilities, which runs through the three major product concepts of "free movement", "natural communication" and "self-growth". Robin Li said that revolutionary car robots with emotion and intelligence will bring about a long-term change in the way travel is done.
