Shulou(Shulou.com)06/02 Report--

We seem to be used to the amazing "Chinese speed".

It seems that when China wants to do something with the strength of the whole country, its efficiency is absolutely amazing. This is the case with epidemic prevention. When the epidemic situation becomes clear and stimulating economic development becomes a top priority, this efficiency is still eye-catching.

When Europe and the United States begin to worry about the epidemic and seem to have no time to worry about the domestic economy, which is also under obvious downward pressure, China's new infrastructure has already come to the surface.

March 4th, in China. At the meeting held by the standing Committee of the political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, it was stressed the need to speed up the construction of major projects and infrastructure that have been clearly planned by the state, including the construction of new infrastructure such as 5G networks and data centers. Recently, decision-makers, local governments and core media have expressed frequently about "new infrastructure construction", which has attracted the common attention of the whole society.

There is no doubt that the new infrastructure strategy system shoulders the multiple tasks of quickly stimulating economic development, making up for the losses of the epidemic, and driving the long-term optimization and upgrading of China's economy in the future after the epidemic. Among them, the most widely related to the economy of various industries, and the most concerned by the international community is the AI technology.

But as a kind of software technology, how to establish a real and feasible industrial relationship between AI and social economy and new infrastructure strategy? what kind of "infrastructure construction" is needed for the wave of industrial intelligence driven by AI?

From the two-way perspective of new infrastructure and AI technology, we can examine these issues one by one. While the answer continues to surface, we will find that "Baidu AI" may become an important keyword between the new infrastructure strategy and AI technology.

The responsibility of AI: the Core goal and Core means of New Infrastructure

In the relevant exposition of CCTV, it is also a general consensus among industry, university and research circles on the new infrastructure proposition recently, the new infrastructure mainly includes seven major areas: 5G infrastructure, UHV / power Internet of things, high-speed rail / rail transit, new energy vehicles / charging piles, cloud computing / data center, artificial intelligence, industrial Internet.

According to the analysis of these seven fields, they can be divided into two obvious categories: the industrial field represented by electric power, high-speed rail and new energy vehicles, and the information field composed of AI, 5G, cloud computing and industrial Internet of things.

Another major difference between the two is that the former is a long-term investment in key areas, while the latter can use short-term investment in exchange for efficient industrial upgrading in various industries, generally stimulate economic development and complete industrial optimization. Therefore, the information infrastructure construction with AI technology as the core has attracted more attention from all walks of life and become the main body of the new infrastructure system. For example, in its article "Outlook | New Infrastructure brings New opportunities", Outlook magazine of Xinhua News Agency holds that "New Infrastructure" mainly refers to the new infrastructure represented by 5G, artificial intelligence, industrial Internet and Internet of things, which is essentially the infrastructure construction of information digitization.

Since the strategic goal of the new infrastructure is to take AI, 5G, cloud computing and other information technology clusters as the core, complete industrial upgrading and optimization, deepen supply-side reform, hedge against the downward trend of the economy, and make up for the economic impact during the epidemic period, then the core goal of the new infrastructure can also be summarized as follows: industrial intelligent upgrading with AI technology as the core, a variety of information technology upgrading as a whole, and deeply related to various industries.

In the upgrading of industrial intelligence, the application of AI technology and industrial adaptation is undoubtedly the core means. This is not only the opportunity of the AI technology itself, but also the responsibility of the AI industry.

The next problem is that the new infrastructure as a strategy, AI as a technology system, in the real industrial development, the two need a reliable and available interface-- and to take charge of today's China's AI industrial structure, we will find that the real docking of the new infrastructure and AI technology is likely to be the complete AI base built by Baidu.

Latitude and longitude adaptation: Baidu AI base as a connector

After clarifying the relationship between AI technology and new infrastructure system, we need to know that the relationship between new infrastructure and new technology is essentially a new relationship between supply and demand.

New infrastructure is a kind of intelligent demand, and AI technology and product system are the supply of intelligent technology.

Well, at a time when the new infrastructure is becoming more and more important, the first question to be clear is whether the supply and demand can be effectively docked so that the infrastructure investment can play its due and clear value.

Industrial intelligent technology is different from the hardware technology represented by "iron public base". In essence, it exerts its effect through the combination of information means and software and hardware, which is relatively far away from the industrial entity, and there is a continuous jump in the industry. Then judging this kind of infrastructure investment needs a value yardstick to match supply and demand.

This kind of scale can be summarized as the "longitude and latitude adaptation" between industrial demand and AI technology.

In short, the demand for AI technology in the new infrastructure is that enterprises and social institutions that can adapt to enough industrial fields in longitude to meet various digital levels, production modes and supply chain locations, also achieve the goal of industrial intelligence, widely meet the quality improvement and efficiency brought about by AI technology, and promote economic development. In terms of latitude, AI technology should provide high enough industrial efficiency to quickly meet the special needs of accelerating economic development under the new infrastructure system and making up for the economic losses caused by the epidemic.

When we adapt the latitude and longitude adaptation to the current AI industrial pattern in China, we will find that the AI base created by Baidu, that is, the complete AI industrial system composed of "Flying Propeller-Baidu brain-Baidu Intelligent Cloud", as well as the intelligent layout of key industries, is highly irreplaceable.

Wang Haifeng, CTO of Baidu, said that "new infrastructure" will promote the transformation of new and old momentum in the country's economic development through rapid breakthroughs and landing applications of emerging technologies. As one of the important chapters, AI, big data and Cloud Computing have shown the important value of serving the society and economy in the prevention and control of the recent epidemic and the resumption of work and production, especially Baidu Intelligent Cloud has made timely and effective help for epidemic prevention and control in the fields of intelligent customer service, Internet of things, intelligent medical treatment and so on. It is believed that the next stage will usher in greater development. It is a general trend for city managers and enterprises such as education, health care and finance to access AI services directly through intelligent cloud.

He believes that for Baidu, Baidu is not only the builder of AI infrastructure, but also the leader and promoter of AI technology and application innovation. The AI platform, represented by Baidu brain, Flying Propeller and Intelligent Cloud, has become an important infrastructure in the intelligent era, and is helping the national and social development to achieve simultaneous improvement of economic and social benefits.

Baidu AI system is characterized by the combination of different channels such as development, technology and cloud computing solutions to verify the wide adaptation between AI and the needs of industrial upgrading, and achieved outstanding results in different fields, taking the lead in promoting large-scale industrial production of AI in the industry, realizing the standardization, automation and modularization of AI technology. During the epidemic period, Baidu's AI technology achieved large-scale landing in many cities and regions in a short time, and realized AI anti-epidemic in urban government affairs, education, medical treatment, industry and other fields, which can be said to be an efficiency test of AI base in actual combat.

Baidu AI system, which meets the needs of industrial intelligent longitude and weft adaptation, will undoubtedly gain space for rapid development under the policy, capital and industrial dividends released by the new infrastructure. Baidu is building a passable bridge between AI technology and new infrastructure strategy, and a new wave of industrial intelligence is rolling on the bridge.

After the epidemic, the wave of industrial intelligence driven by new infrastructure

The value of Baidu AI system is that it has built a complete AI industrial production platform and development base, pressed the "fast-forward key" for the new infrastructure and industrial intelligence revolution, and omitted a lot of infrastructure and basic technology exploration stage.

After the epidemic, under the condition that the new infrastructure has become a new driving force of the economy, some changes will also take place because of the "fast forward" function of the smart economy brought about by Baidu AI.

From this perspective, we may be able to effectively judge the trend of technology aggregation represented by AI in the future, and how to promote industrial upgrading in the new infrastructure environment:

1. First of all, from the perspective of the big strategic opportunities of the times, Baidu's dividend from AI technology and AI infrastructure construction will be further expanded. In order to promote Baidu in the B-end market, especially in the emerging industrial intelligence market to speed up the process of commercialization, to form a new long-term benefit growth point. After the epidemic, we may see more Baidu star AI products and services landing, intelligent infrastructure construction further accelerated, and more talents flowing into the developer community of Baidu AI ecology.

2. The demand for economic acceleration after the epidemic and the intelligent strategic space brought by the new infrastructure are obviously increasing. From the central government to local governments and industrial ecology, they will pay more attention to the efficiency of AI in stimulating the economy, thus promoting various industries to consciously accelerate the use of AI technology, especially the deployment of AI solutions in the core production links, which directly leads to the rapid expansion of the demand for AI algorithms and models and the rapid expansion of the user boundary of AI services.

3. With the strategic investment of the new infrastructure, the strategic segment of the cloud services market will accelerate the change. As an important export of AI, as well as the intersection of big data, Internet of things, industrial Internet, 5G technology and AI, the strategic significance and service capability of cloud computing will be expanded again. Sitting on Baidu AI technology system, Baidu Smart Cloud, which has completely completed the convergence of cloud and AI technology in 2019, will also gain greater market initiative. On March 11, Baidu Intelligent Cloud Enterprise Group (ACG) adjusted its organizational structure. With this adjustment, Baidu will also better comply with the industry trend, seize market opportunities, improve organizational efficiency through flat management, ensure efficient implementation, and meet the acceleration of industrial intelligence brought about by the tide of "new infrastructure".

Generally speaking, the new infrastructure is not a tuyere or an emergency, but a relatively unified arrangement and summary of the direction of industrial upgrading, technological direction and new infrastructure construction that have been clearly defined in the past few years. At the same time, in the special period of serious economic downward pressure after the epidemic, the concentrated release of policy, industrial planning and capital attention, so as to improve the efficiency of the occurrence of technological dividend to economic dividend.

At this time, Baidu AI system has experienced ten years of layout and several years of efficient development, ready to build an industrial bridge between the new infrastructure strategy and AI core technology, and become an AI base in line with the needs of the environment.

The industrial change that takes place in this way will be the key to the intelligent development of China's industry in 2020, and even the key for China to get out of the leading exploration of AI technology.
