Du Lan, Senior Vice President of iFLYTEK, HKUST

The four-day Boao Forum for Asia 2021 Annual Conference will be held in Boao, Hainan from April 18th to 21st. During the meeting, Du Lan, senior vice president of iFLYTEK, said that when he talked about the development trend of artificial intelligence in the next ten years, Intelligence will provide new opportunities for industrial development in four aspects, and will also generate more new landing application scenarios.

First, we are in the era of interconnection of all things, human-computer interaction will become more and more convenient, and the future will also enter the era of interconnection of all things. “As we all see now, for example, there are many people on the scene using intelligent equipment to convert speech.” Dulan believes that with the advancement of this technology, it is not only in speech recognition, but more The application scenarios, such as returning to home, in the car, etc., can be interconnected and interacted with all things. Among these, there are very good industrial development patterns and prospects, which will also bring changes to everyone’s lives.

Second, with the direction of human cognitive intelligence and the continuous deepening of research and development, we can continue to expand applications in the direction of machine learning. Therefore, various new industry applications will gradually deepen, such as education and medical care. , Smart City and other fields. The biggest feature of artificial intelligence is that it can quickly learn the knowledge field of human experts, so that it can quickly exceed 90% of ordinary people. Therefore, it can empower ordinary people with the best human experts. From this point, artificial intelligence There will be new applications in many industries.

The third is the change of emotional appeal, that is, the computing power of emotion will increase, and the communication of modern people will be satisfied through the recognition of human emotion and the synthesis of emotion, which will also produce some new industry fields and applications.

The fourth and most important point is that the development of brain-computer interfaces is getting faster and faster. Our research on brain science and the impact of brain-computer interface hybrid collaboration technology on technology and life will also bring the heart of related industries. development of.

Based on the above viewpoints, Dulan believes that the future will be a golden decade for the development of artificial intelligence.

On April 20th, the Boao Forum for Asia 2021 annual meeting was held. Du Lan, senior vice president of iFLYTEK and chairman of Guangdong Artificial Intelligence Industry Association, said in an interview that at the critical moment of upgrading traditional industries, industrial digitization is very important .and An important factor that determines the digitalization of the industry is whether it can persist in the innovation of the source core technology.

“This year’s GDP goal is to reach 6%, and the investment in scientific research during the 14th Five-Year Plan period will reach 7%, of which the investment in basic research and development will reach 10.6%, and a ten-year plan for basic research is also proposed.” Du Lan said.

Dulan pointed out that the continuous growth of the performance of some enterprises in the development of artificial intelligence last year shows that artificial intelligence is not only a fun black technology, but also can solve people’s practical problems. For example, AI + medical has entered thousands of households, and intelligent medical assistants can assist in the diagnosis and treatment of 95% of common diseases. These have brought many changes in the industry.

What is the future development trend of artificial intelligence? Dulan believes that first, human-computer interaction will become more and more convenient, and it will enter the era of intelligent connection of all things. Nowadays, many people are using intelligent equipment for voice conversion, but with the advancement of technology, not only voice recognition but also cars and other things can be interconnected and interacted. Second, the various applications of artificial intelligence in various industries will gradually deepen, such as education, medical care, and smart cities in various fields. Third, emotional appeals will also change. We will recognize emotions to satisfy the communication of modern people, and also create some new industries.

“ The future will be a new decade facing the development of artificial intelligence. “Duran said.

What are the current bottlenecks and breakthroughs in China’s technological development? Du Lan said that “standing upright” is very important, and technology and applications should be combined to serve the production and life of the majority of people.

She said that “Dingtian” is to seek an irreplaceable position and continue to increase investment in research and development. For example, China provides a lot of convenience for everyone in terms of massive data and capital enthusiasm and even the openness of the application market, while the United States is more superior in core research and development, high-end talent reserves and patent capabilities, and breakthroughs are needed in these points.

She said that “site” is in application. China has great determination in application, has stronger capabilities, and has a better application market. It is necessary to accelerate the opening of application scenarios to continuously iterate AI technology and make the application better.
