Academician Zhang Cymbal: Build a new ecology of digital life with artificial intelligence
Professor Zhang Cymbal, Professor of Tsinghua University and Academician of Lilin Workstation, delivered a speech on the theme of "The AI Industry in the GPT Era Will Involve the Impact on the Manufacturing Industry".
Academician Zhang Cymbal said: With the birth of ChatGPT, the public's attention has once again been attracted to the field of artificial intelligence, and it has also allowed humans to see the powerful ability of artificial intelligence. In his view, after decades of accumulation of quantitative changes in algorithms, computing power, and data, the "qualitative change moment" of artificial intelligence is accelerating.
As a text-generating deep learning model trained on available data on the Internet, GPT has functions such as simultaneous processing of reading comprehension, translation/translation, summary, interactive question and answer, etc., and can also realize humanoid dialogue. Although it can only be presented in the form of human-machine dialogue at present, there are various limitations, but it is also a big step in the direction of general-purpose artificial intelligence. It can be used as a basic model to realize multimodal generation functions including Wensheng text, Wensheng graph, Wensheng voice, and Wensheng video through platform docking and self-iteration.
The AI basic model represented by GPT has many points in the production and manufacturing process, and upgrading the widely used robotic arm to a general intelligent robot is one of them, which can realize the multi-purpose of one machine in different production links, bring a more flexible and flexible dynamic production mode, and help enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency. At the same time, robots with humanoid dialogue and multimodal generation capabilities can also become an important starting point for elderly care and digital home services, practicing the concept of "AI is created by people and serves people".
Dr. Nie Zhenpeng: Integrate AI and whole-home intelligence to maximize service value
Dr. Nie Zhenpeng, President of Lilin Internet of Things Technology Research Institute, combined with Lilin's more than 30 years of industry accumulation, from industry practice and market demand, brought a speech on the theme of "Artificial Intelligence Drives Digital Life Industry Upgrading". Share the industrial thinking of AI to empower the intelligent connection of all things, and Lilin's exploration results in this regard.
Dr. Nie Zhenpeng said: The whole house smart market has begun a new round of outbreak, but the industry is still in a state of high investment and low output, and most of the previous smart home appliances and smart home solutions are single-product intelligence and passive intelligence. AI has less intervention and low intelligence, so it will make consumers feel bad to use, which greatly affects the continuous rise in market demand, causing the industry to enter the price war prematurely.
AI will become the core technology of smart home, when smart home devices learn to think and make decisions like humans, can make more accurate predictions of users' usage habits, and provide active services, market competition will return from low-end, disorderly price war to talent and technical strength competition.
Dr. Nie Zhenpeng also pointed out that with the emergence of AI large models, the following new dimensions of product forms will be born in the field of whole-house intelligence:
Multi-modal intelligent assistant: Through the combination of digital human and ChatGPT-like products, digital intelligent twins closer to humans will be born, realizing cordial, natural and professional interaction, and making the whole house intelligence change from passive services to active intelligent interaction and anthropomorphic interactive services.
Health care robots: The silver wave drives the upgrading of the elderly care industry, and the integration of AI and physical robots will bring robots such as transportation robots, companion robots, and cleaning robots to meet the needs of emotional companionship, entertainment and nursing care for the health care field, realize the replacement of manpower, bring cross-era changes to the elderly life, and realize the concept of treating children as if they are around.
Active intelligent technology architecture: The integration of IoT + big data + AI technology enables the whole house intelligence to have self-learning, independent decision-making and other capabilities, provide proactive services, better meet the personalized and flexible needs of users, and truly realize the mission of "letting people live in a five-star home".
New underlying framework: The combination of AI platform, AI service and heterogeneous computing resources with Lilin's existing computing framework will create a more secure and low-cost cloud-edge-end collaborative computing framework.
Finally, the deep integration of AI and whole-home intelligence will make the digital home from concept to reality. With AI as the "brain" of the whole house intelligent system, with the help of perception, judgment, decision-making, linkage, scene, learning and feedback and other capabilities, it can make more accurate predictions of users' usage habits, making the home more intelligent and intelligent.
The strength of AI has been recognized again, and the journey of ingenuity and wisdom will not end
