In December 27th, Baidu founder, chairman and CEO Robin Li said in the speech of Baidu Create 2021 (Baidu AI Developer Conference) that in the era of “human-machine symbiosis”, China will welcome AI gold for ten years. In the next decade, AI will significantly reduce the technical threshold and provide a technical “big base” for the intelligent transformation of all walks of life. Robin Li judged that intelligent transportation will make China’s first tier cities no longer need to purchase restricted lines within 5 years, and basically solve congestion problems within 10 years. AI’s perception and control capabilities will be widely used in the aerospace industry, and driverless cars are also expected to go to the moon.
Robin Li also revealed to the outside world the latest development of Baidu AI technology and business: the automatic driving service platform “radish run” will expand to 65 city in 2025 and expand to 100 city in 2030. Jidu’s first car Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) will also be unveiled in 2022 and mass produced in 2023.
“Ai toolbox” reduces the technical threshold and provides a technical “big base” for intelligent transformation
Robin Li said that after years of research and development, Baidu brain not only prepared the “AI toolbox” for the creator, but also provided the technology “big base” for the intellectualized transformation of the society and industry. As a result of AI technology accumulation and industrial practice, baidu brain’s daily consumption has exceeded 1 trillion times. Among them, the propeller deep learning platform, Kunlun chip, as well as core AI technologies and platforms such as voice, vision, knowledge atlas and natural language processing, have become a new infrastructure to help all walks of life.
At the conference site, Robin Li showed the latest achievements of Baidu PaddlePaddle platform. As China’s first industry-level in-depth learning platform with independent research and development, rich functions, open source and openness, flying oar has gathered 4.06 million developers, served more than 157000 enterprises and institutions, covered dozens of industries and created 476000 models. “As long as you have some of the most basic computer operation foundation and have a certain text understanding ability, even if you know nothing about the algorithm, you can design and generate AI model through the propeller to make the hardware intelligent.” Robin Li said.
As an important development direction of artificial intelligence, pre training large model has become a new technical highland in the field of AI. Baidu recently released the big model brand “Wenxin”. Robin Li said that since 2019, Baidu has trained large models with massive knowledge. The Wenxin big model is a knowledge enhancement model that can truly achieve landing. At present, Baidu’s Wenxin has been open and open to the outside world through Baidu PaddlePaddle platform, and has been widely applied in various industries such as industry, energy, finance, communications, media, education and so on.
At the same time, the application of AI tools in life science is bringing benefits to human health. Baidu’s ecological company Baitu Shengke, using its own biological computing platform and large-scale pre training model, successfully shortened the prediction time of typical protein structure from 30 minutes of the current benchmark in the industry to less than 5 minutes.
Robin Li believes that the AI toolbox should be built by the creators and should be used jointly by the creators.
AI enters the industrial explosion period, and intelligent transportation will solve congestion within 10 years
The breakthrough of core technology will accumulate innovation potential and stamina for Chinese AI. In terms of application scenarios and industrial practice, especially in the field of intelligent transportation, AI is opening up new development space.
Robin Li judged that intelligent transportation will be a major change that will affect the next 10-40 years. It will make China’s first tier cities no longer need restriction and restriction within 5 years, and basically solve congestion problems within 10 years. He believes that intelligent transportation can solve three major problems: first, reduce 90% of road safety accidents. Second, the system solves the problem of congestion. Third, autonomous driving and intelligent transportation can help reduce carbon emissions.
In the field of automatic driving travel services, Baidu has also created another milestone in the history of intelligent transportation. Baidu’s “radish run”, released in August this year, has provided 115000 services in the past quarter, becoming the world’s largest self driving travel service provider. At the scene of the conference, Robin Li also announced the next stop of “fast running of the radish”: “in 2025, the service will be extended to 65 city and extended to 100 city by 2030.”
At present, baidu Apollo has grown into the most active automatic driving open platform in the world, with more than 210 global ecological partners and 700000 lines of open source code. As a pioneer, Baidu’s technologies and models are bringing more opportunities to small and medium-sized enterprises and creators.
Automobile Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) is Baidu’s judgment on the future of automobile development. At the meeting, Robin Li announced the latest development of Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) . The first concept car will be released in the first half of 2022, and the first Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) will be delivered in 2023. The car Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) developed by Jidu will have L4 level automatic driving ability and run through the three product concepts of “free movement”, “natural communication” and “self growth”. Robin Li said that the revolutionary car Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) with emotion and intelligence will bring about a long-term change in the mode of travel.
two AI capabilities applied to China’s space unmanned vehicle will drive to the moon
Not long ago, Baidu and China Lunar Exploration Changzheng Engineering Co.Ltd(603698) reached a strategic partnership. The two sides will carry out cooperation in aerospace technology and artificial intelligence technology in the field of deep space exploration, including lunar exploration and planetary exploration.
At the meeting, Robin Li and the famous astrochemist and geochemist, the first chief scientist of China lunar exploration project and Ouyang Ziyuan, academician of China Academy of Sciences, held a “Moon” dialogue across the space and time. Robin Li believes that AI has two broad capabilities of sensing and control in space industry, which will make future China’s lunar research station more intelligent, and it can also be applied to unmanned scientific exploration and resource development and utilization. “I also hope that our unmanned vehicle can go to the moon.”
Ouyang Ziyuan said that China’s deep space exploration has made great achievements. In the future, the establishment of a lunar scientific research station, the realization of manned lunar landing, and going to Mars and more distant deep space will be the next step of China’s aerospace. AI will be deeply integrated with aerospace and play a great role.
Artificial intelligence not only brings many conveniences to human production and life, but also brings new challenges. Robin Li once again emphasized the four principles of artificial intelligence ethics, that is, the highest principle of AI is safety and controllability. AI’s innovative vision is to promote human beings’ more equal access to technology and capabilities; The existence value of AI is to teach people to learn and let people grow, rather than surpass and replace people; The ultimate ideal of AI is to bring more freedom and possibility to mankind. Baidu’s long-term adherence to AI ethical principles and building a responsible and sustainable AI are also Baidu’s consistent technical thinking.
In the next decade, AI will become a powerful tool to change the world, thousands of lines and industries will be reconstructed, people’s living space will be greatly expanded, and the value of technology will be fully developed. “A new artificial intelligence society is coming. I have always had firm confidence in it.” Robin Li said.
