The spring of artificial intelligence has arrived, and breakthroughs have been made in three levels: obvious progress in robot technology, moving towards self-awareness; obstacles in the development of autopilot and an urgent need to eliminate security concerns; and obvious advantages in computer technology. It has become an important driving force for related industries.

The US government attaches great importance to artificial intelligence and the heavy investment in the industry has promoted the continuous progress of artificial intelligence technology.

At the basic level, there is Intel's Pohoiki Beach neural chip, which integrates 132 billion transistors, has more than 8 million "neurons" and 8 billion "synapses". The execution speed of artificial intelligence tasks is 1000 times faster than that of traditional CPU, and the energy efficiency is 10000 times higher. At the technical level, there is Facebook's wave2vec machine learning algorithm, which can use raw audio as training data, and the error rate is as low as 2.43%, forming a new breakthrough in the field of automatic speech recognition technology. At the application level, a hundred flowers blossom, especially in the medical field, American scientists not only use artificial intelligence in the diagnosis of genetic syndrome, lung cancer, breast cancer, post-traumatic stress disorder and other diseases. it is also used for protein folding structure analysis, identification of antimicrobial resistance genes, and even the development of new drugs.

In the traditional man-machine game against the battlefield, artificial intelligence has won more victories: Pluribus beat six of the world's top players in the Texas puke competition, while DeepRole beat all the masters in the multiplayer online game Resistance: Avalon, similar to the werewolf.

The development of artificial intelligence technology has led to the progress of robot technology. Through deep learning technology, Columbia University has created a self-modeling robotic arm that can think about and adapt to different situations without prior knowledge. Carnegie Mellon University uses non-invasive brain-computer interface technology to achieve high-precision control of the manipulator through ideas. Swarm robots at Columbia University can simulate the collective migration of cells, while robotic fish at the University of Virginia are both fast and energy efficient. MIT's magnetically controlled linear robots can travel freely in narrow, curved channels such as cerebral vessels, and Boston Dynamics's robot dogs have evolved from generation to generation and have now been put into commercial use.

Compared with the continuous progress of robot technology and industry, autopilot is a little lonely. The shadow caused by the world's first Uber self-driving car crash in March 2018 has not been completely eliminated.

Germ Pesanti, head of artificial intelligence at Facebook, has said that advances in artificial intelligence must break through the dependence on arithmetic. Pesanti's way to crack is to carry out more software innovation, hardware and software optimization, but changing ideas and improving computing power is also an option. In 2019, the United States still leads the world in the field of computer technology. In the two "TOP500" global super-calculation 500s list, the United States accounts for half of the top 10 firmly, and "pinnacle" is far ahead. In terms of research and development, the Department of Energy's E-level supercomputing program has been launched one after another, and the development of "Aurora", "Frontier" and "Emirates Rock" has been intensified; the field of quantum computing is fiercely competitive, and IBM has launched "IBM Q system 1", and Google even claims to achieve "quantum hegemony."
