Li Yanhong said that artificial intelligence is comparable to the industrial revolution.

At 201712313: 30, the plenary meeting of world internet conference in Wuzhen was held.

Ma, Lei Jun finally made their official appearances on the stage in Wuzhen and delivered keynote speeches respectively. Li Yanhong and Lei Jun will also deliver keynote speeches at tomorrow's artificial intelligence sub-forum.

When Li Yanhong came to power, he said that he would bring dry goods, which caused a full house of laughter. He even brought a PPT. He first used a picture to show the comparison between the growth rate of netizens and the growth rate of GDP in the past decade, indicating that the demographic dividend of the Internet is gone now-"People in the second half of the year are talking about artificial intelligence now", and asserted that the future netizen dividend is nothing, and the driving force for growth is artificial intelligence.

Extended data:

Three growth drivers to promote artificial intelligence:

The first is the algorithm.

The algorithms of artificial intelligence, especially machine learning, have developed rapidly in recent years, and various innovations, deep learning, CNN, Gansu and new inventions have been constantly created.

The second is computing power.

Computing power. Now the cost of computing is falling, and the server is becoming more and more powerful. In the past, we thought that artificial intelligence was not practical, because it would use too much computing power, and everyone would find it economically unbearable. But today's computing power has reached a critical point, which can make a lot of artificial intelligence practical and available.

Third, data.

The generation of data is still developing at a very high speed, especially the Internet in China, which has a very unique place. 750 million netizens all speak the same language, have the same culture, abide by the same laws, such a large crowd, such a large market, such a large data set, and constantly produce new data, which will further promote the continuous innovation of algorithms and put forward updated requirements for computing power.
