China’s artificial intelligence industry still needs to pass the "three barriers" to reach a new level

In reality, the application of artificial intelligence has become a major trend. The development results are remarkable, and the growth path is still long. Grasping core technology is the top priority, standard formulation is the key link, and safety prevention and control is the cornerstone of development.

This year's Football World Cup can be described as a lot of things to watch. In addition to exciting events, many high-tech elements such as smart football and smart referee watches have also become new highlights of the stadium. Especially the video assistant referee (VAR) technology introduced for the first time, trying to make the judgment more accurate and fair, has caused a lot of heated discussions.

The World Cup is just an example. In fact, high technology has already entered all areas of life, and the rapid development of artificial intelligence is accelerating its impact on people's lives. The latest "China Internet Development Report 2018" released by the Internet Society of China pointed out that China's artificial intelligence market is growing rapidly. In 2017, the scale of the industry reached 15.21 billion yuan, with a growth rate of 51.2%. It is estimated that by 2019, the scale of China's artificial intelligence industry will grow to 34.43 billion yuan. The "China Artificial Intelligence Development Report 2018" released by Tsinghua University also shows that China's artificial intelligence investment and financing account for 60% of the world, and the momentum is quite active.

In reality, the application of artificial intelligence has become a major trend. The development results are remarkable, and the growth path is still long. For China's artificial intelligence industry to reach a new level, it still needs to pass the "three barriers."

Grasping core technology is the top priority. According to the "China Artificial Intelligence Development Report 2018", China's total number of artificial intelligence papers and the number of highly cited papers are the world's first, but in the global corporate paper output rankings, China only ranks among the top two in the world. ten. Data makes people think deeply, and the development of artificial intelligence cannot stay on paper. At present, many traditional industries in China urgently need to be upgraded and improved productivity. It is particularly important to consolidate the core foundation of industries such as smart sensors, artificial intelligence chips and basic software, and accelerate the research and development of key technologies, so that enterprises can become the leading force in artificial intelligence innovation.

Grasping standard formulation is a key link. Without rules, it is difficult to achieve a radius. Standards are the commanding heights of industry competition. Without standards, the research and development and application of artificial intelligence may become chaotic; standards are not unified, and the market and related resources are difficult to connect, which will cause unnecessary duplication and waste of data. Although my country has a good foundation in the field of artificial intelligence, the infrastructure, policies, regulations, and standard systems that adapt to the development of artificial intelligence need to be improved. Since 2017, the state has successively issued the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan" and the "Three-year Action Plan for Promoting the Development of the New Generation Artificial Intelligence Industry (2018-2020)", clearly requiring the initial establishment of an artificial intelligence standard system, testing and evaluation system, and safety Safeguard the framework of the system and accelerate industrial development.

Grasping safety prevention and control is the cornerstone of development. The security risks that artificial intelligence may cause cannot be ignored. Self-driving cars fail to correctly identify road signs, leading to traffic accidents; home security systems set up to protect the safety of family members and the application of popular facial recognition technology have become important tools for hackers to steal personal privacy. These are also practical problems that must be resolved quickly in industrial development. Experts describe that artificial intelligence is like a child born by a "hacker" with a certain degree of security risk genes. If you only focus on development and ignore security precautions, artificial intelligence may be used improperly; but if used properly, artificial intelligence can detect malicious software, monitor abnormal data, warn hackers, etc., and become a powerful defense tool for "one foot high" , To improve the level of network security defense, but also usher in better opportunities for the development of the industry.
