2019 global development of artificial intelligence instry analysis
from the Japanese classic animation "shell attack mobile team" artificial intelligence (AI) technology application, to the recent Hollywood film "Aleta: Angel of war" robot, in science fiction movies, AI has become one of the most common topics
and the real world outside the screen, whether it is a security camera with iris recognition, or an autopilot equipped with Autopilot (automatic assisted driving), the use of AI technology, like water and electricity, has begun to permeate every aspect of economic and social development. p> The investment of capital accelerates the development of AI. Mmcventures, a British venture capital fund that focuses on start-up investment, recently released a research report on AI (hereinafter referred to as "the report"), which shows that the investment capital of early-stage AI companies in the world has increased 15 times in five years, and is estimated to reach 15 billion US dollars (about 100.8 billion yuan) in 2018
the United States, the largest country of artificial intelligence technology, continues to lead with all its strength. A few days ago, the White House launched a new official website "AI. Gov" to publish the specific measures taken by various federal agencies in the United States to implement the "all government" strategy of artificial intelligence. The website shows that the Special Committee on artificial intelligence under the US National Science and Technology Council will be responsible for coordinating 15 federal agencies to promote the research and development of artificial intelligence technology
and it's not just the technology and enterprises that have multiplied under the popularity
the above report points out that among the 2830 companies in Europe that are labeled as artificial intelligence, 1580 meet the definition of artificial intelligence companies, that is to say, 40% of the companies have nothing to do with artificial intelligence. The research team also found that "if a company is labeled as AI, it can get 15% - 50% more financing."
Wang Yanfeng, vice president of the school of electronic information and electrical engineering of Shanghai Jiaotong University, told first finance that this phenomenon not only occurs in Europe, but also exists in the world. Any revolutionary thing will be accompanied by the emergence of bubbles, which is also an inevitable rule of instrial development. However, with the continuous integration of artificial intelligence and traditional instries, under the constant shock and elimination, the "real gold" companies that can stand the fire are still left
the scale of China's AI market will reach 28 billion in 2019
the scale of China's AI market is growing continuously. According to the analysis report on market outlook and investment strategic planning of China's artificial intelligence instry published by foresight Instry Research Institute, the scale of China's artificial intelligence market will reach 15.21 billion yuan in 2017, with a growth rate of 51.2%. With the graal maturity of artificial intelligence technology, the in-depth layout of technology, manufacturing and other instry giants, and the continuous expansion of application scenarios, it is preliminarily estimated that the scale of China's artificial intelligence market will exceed 20 billion yuan in 2018, reaching about 23.82 billion yuan, with a growth rate of 56.6%. It is predicted that the scale of China's AI market will reach about 28 billion yuan in 2019 2014-2019 China's artificial intelligence market size and growth forecast data source: the prospect Instry Research Institute collate Chinese artificial intelligence foam is graally disappearing "initially (2012) did AI did not meet several AI technology companies." Speaking of the scene when I started my business, co-founder of video + + polar chain technology group & amp; Coo Dong Hui told China first finance and economics according to his recollection, since 2016, there have been more and more AI companies in China, among which there are some real AI companies, but there are also some Internet companies and even traditional advertising companies at present, artificial intelligence technology is in the third climax of development, with machine learning, especially deep learning as the core, developing rapidly in vision, voice, natural language and other application fields. Even with the strong support of capital and policy, there are still many uncertainties in the transformation of practical application scenarios
"in 2015, we opened up the AI algorithm, but found that the algorithm could not be applied, so we increased the investment, and it took more than two years to achieve the real application. Now many entrepreneurs are actually releasing demo (an unformed beta algorithm). Whether it can be implemented is another matter. " He pointed out
in addition, e to the high technical threshold of AI companies, in the process of development, not only those companies with gimmicks will show their feet, but also real AI companies may close down e to the lack of data and technology
"there are two big problems for small start-up AI Enterprises: limited data sets, and no killer applications in business, so they are likely to be unable to support them." Wu Pengyang, deputy director of the instrial research center of Tencent Research Institute, told China first finance and economics
However, with the transformation of traditional instries, the trend of AI convergence in various vertical instries is becoming more and more obvious. According to the report, more than a third of enterprises are expected to deploy AI by the end of 2019. At the same time, there are some new changes in the instry and capitalWu Pengyang said that since 2017, global investment in artificial intelligence has become cautious. At present, the instry has begun to move from online to offline, and manufacturing instry is a typical example
"AI can play a good role in the situation of rising labor costs and low proction efficiency. The manufacturing instry is relatively complex, so this is a single point breakthrough process. The typical application is image recognition. For example, the accuracy of quality inspection can even exceed people's processing level. " Wu Pengyang said. At the same time, he believes that future breakthroughs in the field of public services such as health care and ecation have more potential, because AI can solve the problem of uneven distribution of high-quality resources and stimulate the data potential of such public services
China is dominant in the application layer
from the level, AI mainly has three layers: basic layer, technology layer and application layer. European and American countries started early and invested heavily in the basic layer, while many companies emerged in the application layer and technology layer in China
the above report shows that the number of AI technology companies in the Asia Pacific region is twice that in North America. Among them, Chinese companies lead the Asia Pacific AI, and Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Zhejiang and Jiangsu are the main gathering places
compared with Europe and the United States, the similarities and differences of AI instry development in China are also very clear
Shang Hailong, general manager of Shangtang Technology Hong Kong Co., Ltd., told China first finance and economics that the development of China's AI instry pays more attention to landing applications, and at the same time, it is constantly improving the strengthening of basic research and the construction of original infrastructureand the implementation of application scenarios can not be underestimated for the traction of original basic research and platform construction. The huge market application stimulates and reverses the basic layer, which is the biggest characteristic and advantage of China's AI instry different from that of Europe and the United States
according to the white paper on the development of artificial intelligence instrial application issued by the China Academy of information and communication at the end of last year, in terms of instrial scale, the domestic artificial intelligence market scale reached 23.74 billion yuan in 2017, an increase of 67% compared with 2016. Among them, computer vision market with biometrics, image recognition, video recognition and other technologies as the core has the largest scale, accounting for 34.9%, reaching 8.28 billion yuan
whether it is the "intelligence +" mentioned for the first time in this year's government work report, the "guidance on promoting the deep integration of artificial intelligence and real economy" deliberated and adopted by the central Deep Reform Commission on the 19th, and the "three year action plan for promoting the development of a new generation of artificial intelligence instry (2018-2020)" issued by the Ministry of instry and information technology at the end of 2017, all give AI + traditional instries more possibilities
Wang Yanfeng said that China's "Internet plus" has been put forward for 4 years, and the new round of "intelligence +" is the natural progression and upgrading of the instry. The Internet plus solves data, and the core of AI is data algorithm. Data development is not enough to be intelligent. Now, after several years of development, the digital process has been further improved, so it can be combined with artificial intelligence to proce new formats. " He predicted that in the next three to five years, "intelligent +" traditional instries will have obvious deep integration
According to the latest data, Yu Dian, researcher of Tencent Research Institute, who has been tracking the AI instry for a long time, told reporters that in the world, there are 20 universities in the UK, 168 in the United States, 20 in China in 2017, and more than 30 universities in 2018. That is to say, there are nearly 400 universities with AI direction in the world, To meet the world's millions of needsthe shortage of AI talents in China is at least more than 1 million. Moreover, because the training time of qualified AI talents is much longer than that of general IT talents, it is difficult to effectively fill the talent gap in the short term. " Yu Dian said that AI has very high technical requirements. Although non major students can learn relevant AI knowledge, such as computer major, they can do relatively elementary AI development after one year of learning neural network, but deep basic development still needs highly skilled AI talents
According to Yu Dian, the basic development talents are also the most scarce in China's AI market. Wang Yanfeng said that the advantage of China's AI field lies in the rich talents at the application end. "The scene is rich, and the discipline catalog of the Ministry of ecation is also following up, so there are more talents at the application level." But after all, it started late, and there is still a big gap between high-end and cutting-edge talents and foreign countries However, Dong Hui believes that the salary of AI talents should be combined with the specific situation of the company. For example, the vertical application-oriented AI company does not need to reserve a large number of high-end AI talents. Although there are dozens of doctors in the company, most of them are masters“ A lot of business processes don't need a doctor, and master's students can completely grasp it. " He said that in the company AI, the income gap between different levels of talents is also large, and there is even no upper limit for top-level talentsThe University of science and technology of China is indeed a university with many masters and elites. She built for the two bombs and one satellite, and implemented the policy of "running the school in the whole college, combining the departments." at the beginning of its establishment, she gathered a group of famous scientists, such as Yan keci, Hua Luogeng, Qian Xuesen, Zhao Zhongyao, Guo yonghuai, Zhao Jiuzhang, Bei Shizhang, etc. . It should be clarified here that Mr. Qian Xuesen, mentioned by the subject, did not "come out of this school". Professor Qian Xuesen is the head of the thirteen departments of the University of science and technology of China. He has been famous for a long time since the establishment of the University. He has played an immeasurable role in the construction of the University
All in all, most of the achievements of HKUST alumni are concentrated in the field of scientific research. Thank you for reading. I hope it can help youmost of Xiwei's teams are talents rooted in the field of consumer electronics. Xie Bian himself, from lucent, Nokia to join the group company, is also dealing with mobile terminals, with rich resources and relevant experience
In Xie Bian's view, the future challenges mainly lie in talents and whether Xiwei can give priority to meeting the market demand when major technological innovations appear. Facing the possible entry of giants, he believes that solid partner resources and data precipitation will become the moat of Xiweidownload more latest information

The mobile phone market has always been unpredictable, often three years of Hedong, three years of Hexi trend
in the past two years, after several battles, the global smartphone market pattern has initially taken shape, with Samsung, Huawei, apple, Xiaomi and oppo sitting in the top five for three consecutive years. Vivo, which is the same as oppo, ranks sixth. So far, the first tier players in the smartphone instry are in place
in 2018, under the attack of AI chip technology, full screen, 3D structured light and other new technologies, the competition in the smart phone market is becoming increasingly fierce. Among them, AI capability alone will affect the pattern of the smart phone instry in the next 10 years, which has been discussed by Zhidong (AI invasion! The pattern of smart phones in the next decade will be rewritten)
from the perspective of current nodes, it seems that the smartphone player camp is being torn by an invisible technology gap. On one side of the gap are companies with core technologies of smartphones, such as Samsung, Huawei and apple, while on the other side are enterprises that are relatively lack of core technologies and are still struggling to catch up
In the past few years, oppo vivo has achieved good results in the front end of the smartphone market by relying on years of accumulated offline channel advantages, strong advertising marketing strategy and good proct strength. Since the beginning of this year, oppo vivo has begun to make a sound in technology. It has not only launched two innovative solutions of full screen, i.e. lifting camera and al track periscope structure, but also is very active in 5g field. It has close contacts with communication technology giant Qualcomm and embraces 5gbut behind oppo and vivo singing together, the risk is getting closer
according to IDC data, in the first and second quarters of this year, oppo's global market share was 7.3% and 7.6%, with an increase of only 0.3%, while Huawei and Xiaomi increased by 2.8% and 1.4% respectively
conclusion: core technology is reconstructing the market structure of smart phones
at this stage, the popularity of smart phones has been completed in China, and Chinese mobile phone manufacturers have begun to rise in the global market and impact the high-end market. At this time, the user experience driven by core technology has become the focus of competition. While the Matthew effect is becoming more and more obvious, an invisible technology gap is tearing up the players' camp. On one hand, there are companies with smart phone core technology, and on the other hand, there are companies that are relatively lack of core technology and are still struggling to catch up
according to the market data in the past two years, oppo and vivo are not as good as domestic manufacturers such as Huawei and Xiaomi in the global market, and their share in the domestic market is being eroded. At present, oppo and vivo are on the edge of technology gap. However, we have also seen the efforts of oppo and vivo in developing flash charging technology, developing 5g with Qualcomm, leading the instry to launch innovative solutions for full screen, and actively adopting 3D structured light solutions...
at present, the smartphone instry is on the eve of core technology rewriting the market pattern, and oppo and vivo want to consolidate their position in the first echelon of the smartphone instry, We need to strengthen the research and development of core technology, and have our own core technology to form technical barriers
why this major is good
the development trend of all walks of life is automation and intelligence. With the rapid development of computing power in recent years, some artificial intelligence theories accumulated in the past decades can be realized and reach the mature commercial level, thus driving this wave of artificial intelligence. Among them, the most typical theory supported by current technology is the neural network model proposed in 1943, and the most typical proct is image recognition
the major of artificial intelligence comes into being in response to this trend. Its most realistic purpose is to make full use of the existing theories and technologies to speed up the automation and intellectualization of various instries, and at the same time actively explore research for further breakthroughs
in the vernacular, there are gaps to fill and deficiencies to break through, so people need to work, so the proction and marketing of human resources are booming< br />
description of employment direction
to put it bluntly, automation and intelligence are the responsibilities of it, so naturally artificial intelligence is the most suitable major for IT instry. At present, it mainly focuses on the research and development of image recognition, voice and semantic recognition, content (including commodity) recommendation and other related procts
as for the financial instry, it is essentially a very complex nonlinear system, such as the stock market, which can be affected by many factors, so there has always been a quantitative dream in this instry, that is, to achieve maximum risk avoidance and profit maximization through mathematical model, and all of this will be automatically completed by computer. So there is a strong demand for artificial intelligence
as for equipment manufacturing, communication and other fields, artificial intelligence technology is expected to improve the level of automation and intelligence. This is easy to understand, such as the smart home device that has the closest relationship with ordinary people

employment problems
this part belongs to the cold water. As mentioned earlier, this wave of artificial intelligence is e to enough computing power, so it is necessary to realize the theory of N years ago. But this time, there are few mature technologies, mainly image recognition, speech and semantic recognition. The latter is not very mature (speech recognition can only recognize Putonghua, semantic recognition is not very mature). In addition, there are some recommendation related data analysis & mining technology, and so on
these mature technologies have been rapidly developed into common platforms or procts, such as Shangtang's face recognition procts, no matter Unicorn or head company
then there will not be many opportunities for latecomers. This is also the reason why Li Kaifu said in 2018 that a large number of AI companies will go bankrupt 18 months later - and this time he was right
there are only two ways to change this situation: 1) theoretical breakthrough again; 2) Reforming and optimizing mature technology; 3) Apply technology to specific areas or scenarios. For example, automatic recognition of garbage classification based on image recognition. 2) And 3) there are still many opportunities and gaps; And 1) it also needs top talents to complete. So even if there are these problems, it is still a good major.
Wow, as a member of HKUST, it's really exciting to see this problem! Now I'd like to introce some famous alumni of HKUST that I know
first of all, Mr. Pan Jianwei. Our classmates affectionately call him pan Shen. His most famous achievement recently is his achievements in quantum communication. He has published many articles on nature. On scientific research, Mr. Pan is really an admirable Professor
