What is the experience of holding a science and technology event in the “meta universe”?
On December 27, baidu create 2021 Conference (Baidu AI Developer Conference) was held in its meta universe app “xirang”. It is understood that this is China’s first conference held in the meta universe, which can accommodate 100000 people to interact on the same screen at the same time.
At the meeting, Ouyang Ziyuan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and chief scientist of China’s lunar exploration project, Kip Thorne, winner of the 2017 Nobel Prize in physics and scientific consultant of the film star trek, Kevin Kelly, founding editor of Wired magazine and author of out of control, gathered in the meta universe to explain his technical views.
At the conference, Baidu founder, chairman and CEO Robin Li showed his digital image. “Our way of meeting is both dreamy and realistic. This is the current era. Man-machine symbiosis has entered all aspects of life.” Robin Li said.
the first car Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) will be unveiled next year and will be mass produced in the next year
What new development space will AI expand for us?
Robin Li believes 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.
Data show that 94% of traffic accidents are caused by human factors, and automatic driving will eliminate human factors. Meanwhile, Baidu’s intelligent road system is realizing unimpeded traffic through vehicle road coordination. The experimental data show that when all intersections in a city realize intelligence and urban level regional information control optimization, the traffic efficiency can be improved by 15% – 30%.
Robin Li said that in the field of automatic driving service, Baidu released “radish run” in August this year, providing 115 thousand services in the past quarter, becoming the world’s largest automatic driving service provider. Robin Li also announced the next goal of “fast running of the radish”, which extended the city’s services to 65 city in 2025 and expanded to 100 cities in 2030.
Automobile Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) is Baidu’s judgement on the future of automobile development. Robin Li announced the latest progress of Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) . It is expected to release the first concept car of Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) in the first half of 2022 and realize mass production and delivery in 2023. It is reported that 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”.
In the future, traffic may not be limited to land, but may occur in distant interstellar. Robin Li and famous astrochemistry and geochemist, the first chief scientist of China lunar exploration project, and Ouyang Ziyuan, academician of China Academy of Sciences, carried out a dialogue across the moon on “the surface of the moon”. 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. The next step in China’s Aerospace will be to establish a lunar scientific research station, realize manned landing on the moon, and go to Mars and more distant deep space. AI will be deeply integrated with aerospace and play a great role.
CTO and “Baidu brain” live painting
Wang Haifeng, chief technology officer (CTO) of Baidu, introduced the latest technological progress and landing achievements of Baidu AI.
Over the past ten years, Baidu has applied for more than 13000 AI patents. Baidu AI’s technical accumulation and industrial practice over the years – “Baidu brain” has developed into a world leading artificial intelligence platform with nearly 1400 open capabilities. The domestic deep learning platform brings together 4.06 million developers and serves 157000 enterprises and institutions. At the same time, Baidu also released the “Wenxin” series of industrial knowledge enhanced large models, Baidu Intelligent Cloud Xi Ling and other latest achievements.
At the meeting, Wang Haifeng “created” an ink painting with Baidu brain through voice interaction, and asked Baidu brain to make a poem according to the content and artistic conception in the painting.
“Behind this is the more powerful and intelligent AI capability brought by the knowledge enhancement model, as well as the integration and innovation of technologies such as voice, vision, natural language processing, knowledge atlas, VR and ar.” Wang Haifeng introduced.
Baidu also released the digital human platform “Baidu Intelligent Cloud Xi Ling”, providing various digital generation and content production services for all walks of life, and further reducing the threshold of digital human application. AI sign language anchor who provides sign language services for hearing-impaired friends and digital human little C of China Central Television Network also appeared at the conference.
In addition, Wang Haifeng introduced that Baidu applies AI to cutting-edge technology fields such as biological computing and quantum computing.
In the field of biological computing, baidu launched the industry’s first mRNA vaccine sequence design algorithm, which can find a stable vaccine sequence in just ten minutes. At present, Baidu has cooperated with China Center for Disease Control and prevention to promote vaccine and drug research and development.
In the field of quantum computing, Baidu has built the first quantum computing cloud platform in China to provide one-stop services from applications to quantum processors, reduce the threshold of quantum computing learning and application, and promote the application of quantum computing in chemistry, finance, materials and other fields.
