With the continuous development of artificial intelligence technology, more and more companies are beginning to invest in the field of AI. As a leading life service platform in China, Meituan has been working hard to explore how to apply AI technology to life services.
Recently, Meituan founder Wang Xing said in a conference call that he firmly believes that AI will change all aspects of our lives, and stressed that the application of AI is by no means limited to mobile phones or the Internet industry.

According to statistics, the current global AI market size has exceeded 100 billion US dollars, and it is expected to continue to grow. In addition to Internet giants, companies like Meituan are also actively investing in the field of AI. Wang Xing revealed that Meituan's internal team is currently working on building self-developed basic models and related applications to improve the accuracy and efficiency of AI. He also pointed out that AI can be applied in many different ways, and AIGC is only one part of it. In contrast, Meituan pays more attention to applying AI technology to practical scenarios.
In the field of food service, Meituan has begun to try to apply AI technology to the intelligent management of restaurants. It is reported that Meituan launched the "intelligent supply chain" system in 2018, which can predict market demand and purchase volume through data analysis, and automatically coordinate the production and distribution of various links. In addition, Meituan has also launched a "smart restaurant" system, which realizes functions such as ordering and payment through touch screen, voice recognition and other technologies, improving the efficiency and service quality of restaurants.
In addition to food and beverage services, Meituan has also applied AI technology to tourism, accommodation, education and other fields. For example, in the field of tourism, Meituan has launched a "smart tour guide" system, which can realize functions such as scenic spot navigation and voice navigation through image recognition, speech synthesis and other technologies. In addition, in the accommodation field, Meituan has also begun to use AI algorithms to help hotel managers increase room occupancy and revenue.

In general, Meituan's exploration in the field of AI has made some progress. With the continuous advancement of technology, AI will be widely used in more industries in the future, bringing more convenience and innovation to people's lives. However, we also need to pay attention to some risks and challenges brought by AI technology, such as privacy protection and intelligent management, which still need to be further improved. Therefore, while applying AI technology, we also need to think about how to create a safer and more sustainable future. #Wang Xing#
