[Netease Smart News, December 3] The 2017 Intel China Industry Summit was held in Suzhou yesterday. Dr. Jerry Kaplan, a renowned AI expert and tech entrepreneur, delivered a speech discussing the development of artificial intelligence and how it can drive transformation across industries. In the field of AI, logical reasoning was once dominant, but why has machine learning become so popular now? According to Jerry Kaplan, many problems cannot be solved through logic alone. Instead, we use machine learning to extract patterns from large datasets and apply them to new examples. For instance, after training a system to recognize "cats" and "dogs," it can also be used for stock market analysis. The rise of machine learning is closely tied to the rapid growth of computing power. Over the past 30 years, computer speeds have increased by a million times. If 30 years ago computers were as slow as snails, today they are like rockets. As computers get faster and data volumes grow, machine learning becomes an even better fit. With the arrival of the 5G era, this technology will further enhance perception and interaction with the real world. In the future, we could see more flexible robots, smarter factories, self-driving cars, and wearable sensors. Jerry Kaplan also mentioned that future computing devices may become more immersive, such as combining with headphones or contact lenses, acting as personal assistants. He concluded that AI will brighten the future, making human intelligence more valuable and helping us make better decisions. The future must be created by people, and we should find innovative ways to use AI to improve life. Below is a summary of Dr. Jerry Kaplan’s speech: Jerry Kaplan: Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is often misunderstood. Many fear machines becoming too intelligent and replacing humans. However, AI is not about creating sci-fi scenarios like Terminator. It's about improving efficiency and solving real-world problems. Today's robots are still quite basic, and while they can perform certain tasks, they lack independent thought. They follow pre-set instructions. AI is not just about mimicking human intelligence. It's about automation—making tasks faster, cheaper, and more efficient. The concept of AI originated at the 1956 Dartmouth Conference, where researchers believed intelligence was based on logical reasoning. However, challenges like translation, vision, and natural language processing required different approaches, leading to the rise of machine learning. Machine learning uses large datasets to identify patterns and make predictions. This approach has gained popularity due to advancements in computing power and data availability. As we enter the 5G era, AI will continue to evolve, enabling more advanced applications in robotics, transportation, healthcare, and more. Looking ahead, AI will transform various industries. In manufacturing, flexible robots will improve production efficiency. In healthcare, AI can assist doctors in diagnosing diseases. In retail, AI-powered tools can help customers choose the best outfits. These innovations will change how we live and work. Jerry also emphasized the importance of integrating AI into businesses. He suggested starting with pilot projects, analyzing data, and gradually scaling up. While AI presents challenges, it also offers immense opportunities. Governments, especially in China, can play a key role in supporting AI development through infrastructure and policy improvements. In conclusion, AI will shape a brighter future. It will make human intelligence more valuable, help us solve complex problems, and create a more efficient and connected world. The future is ours to build, and AI is a powerful tool to help us achieve it. I’m excited to see what lies ahead and hope we all work together to harness its potential for the greater good.
