Artificial intelligence helps the development of smart cities and welcomes the "blue ocean" market

The application of artificial intelligence technology has improved the overall level of urban services, and all citizens can share efficient and convenient public services and smart and high-quality urban life.

MarketsandMarkets, a market research organization, released an analysis report that with the application of machine learning and natural language processing technologies in media, advertising, retail, finance and other industries, the market size of artificial intelligence in these fields alone will reach tens of billions of dollars in the future. Research organization Gartner also said that it is expected that in 2018, 6 billion devices in the world will use artificial intelligence technology, and people will have zero-distance contact with artificial intelligence on Internet home appliances, automobiles and other products.

Artificial intelligence helps the development of smart cities and welcomes the market "blue ocean"

At present, the national policy level has given full attention to artificial intelligence, and the term "artificial intelligence" has been written into the "13th Five-Year Plan". In the future, my country will focus on breakthroughs in key technologies of big data and cloud computing, autonomous and controllable operating systems, high-end industrial and large-scale management software, and artificial intelligence technologies in emerging fields. This means that the research and development and application of artificial intelligence are ushering in huge investment opportunities and market "blue ocean".

The term "artificial intelligence" not only appears in the "13th Five-Year Plan", but the "Internet + Artificial Intelligence Three-Year Action Plan" recently issued by the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, etc., clearly proposes to promote the integration and innovation of the Internet and traditional industries, accelerate the promotion and application of artificial intelligence technology in the fields of home, automobile, unmanned system, security, etc., and strive to form an artificial intelligence market application scale of 100 billion yuan in 2018.

Why is artificial intelligence so popular? It is mainly based on the following four points:

First, the information environment and facilities of human beings have changed greatly. Now there are mobile technology, the Internet, sensor networks, Internet of Vehicles, and wearable devices. Perception has been overwhelming, the network has spread all over the world, and the structure of the world has changed. The world used to be a two-dimensional world, but now it is a three-dimensional world. We call it CPH. The three-dimensional world alternates with each other and promotes the development of the world.

Second, the demand for artificial intelligence has exploded. From the past, smart cities, smart medical care, smart transportation, smart logistics, smart robots, unmanned driving, smart phones, smart toys, smart manufacturing, smart society, and smart economy all urgently need the development of artificial intelligence. That is why many enterprises in our city have already laid out artificial intelligence before our central government took action.

Third, the goals and concepts of artificial intelligence have changed greatly. If we talk about our previous artificial intelligence, it is actually to use computers to simulate people, or to study a brain-like technology, using brain-like computing to simulate human behavior. What are we studying now? How can machines be combined with people to become a human-machine fusion. We now use the network to combine many machines with people to form a group intelligence system. For example, how can the three-world of people, networks, and objects be linked to become an intelligent system of a city?

Fourth, the data of artificial intelligence and the methods and technologies it brings have changed greatly. It will be increasingly transformed into big data-driven computing, sensor-driven computing, and multimedia-driven computing. Therefore, big data intelligence, perception fusion intelligence, and cross-media intelligence are inevitable, and the traditional machine intelligence detection Turing method will be challenged.

So these four combined together will promote a significant improvement in artificial intelligence.

After rapid development, smart cities have gradually moved from concepts to reality. With the increase of applications and the growth of data volume, the demand for artificial intelligence technology in smart city construction is increasing. It was learned from the 2016 China Smart City International Expo that artificial intelligence technology represented by ecological technology, intelligent robots, unmanned vehicles, and drones will become the next outlet for the development of smart cities. With the development of urban construction and urban agglomerations, urban services will gradually improve, and artificial intelligence technology innovation will promote services.

The Internet era seems to be everywhere. Where there are terminal devices, there are various artificial intelligence services. People are no longer limited to retrieval. With the advancement of artificial intelligence technology, it is like a personal assistant on terminal devices or mobile phones to provide help, tell you the weather and traffic, arrange itineraries, coordinate meeting times, and provide feasible solutions; accompany you to play ball and chess when you are bored; when watching movies, VR technology will simulate a realistic three-dimensional virtual world, allowing users to feel immersive through vision and hearing, like a little bee flying in front of them.

In the medical field, intelligent voice and artificial intelligence technology can enable doctors to write medical records by voice, which is more natural and faster than the traditional handwritten medical record method. In the near future, medical robots may provide patients with a more humane medical experience; medical diagnosis will be more accurate, and patients can experience customized treatment plans.

In the field of smart government affairs, the "social service management information platform" based on big data, artificial intelligence, information security and mobile Internet technology can realize the sharing and coordination of urban data resources, establish a new model of "Internet + government services" with information support, grid management and diversified services, and turn "people's errands" into "data errands".

In the field of environmental protection, polluting enterprises will not be placed in the city center, the layout of green land and gardens will be more scientific, which will help green air and environmental protection, parking lots will occupy a smaller area and be more scientific, roads will be smoother, highway bridge and subway construction will reduce congestion, and mathematical models will assist more effective road communications or queuing for shopping. The layout of residences, shopping malls, apartments, roads, bridges, subway tracks, gardens, cultural venues, stadiums, theme parks, etc. in smart cities will be more scientific and better.

In community life, the Internet of Things makes the community smart, the streets have artificial intelligence network services, the transportation has navigation and electronic maps, the private car tracking or positioning is set, the travel has portable Wifi voice service, the restaurant, hotel, car rental, shopping and other services are more convenient through voice intelligence, and the suitcase is also smart and can be positioned at any time.

In the enterprise, the combination of enterprise and artificial intelligence technology can improve the service. Before the sale, voice communication and intelligent technology help customers understand the product or service. Customers can experience it online and offline and understand the product information through video playback. After the sale, it provides timely transportation information, installation information, purchase maintenance or repair information, and provides customers with more thoughtful and comprehensive services through terminal equipment, so that customers can provide personalized customization or intimate services through artificial intelligence technology.
