01. The great domestic cycle is a good strategy to cope with the variables, and artificial intelligence helps the fourth generation industrial revolution

Huang Feiyue said in the roundtable that he recognized the strategy of economic internal circulation. He said that the domestic grand cycle is the latest macro strategy and layout of the country, in order to adapt to a series of new international situations. In the overall strategy, science and technology itself needs to establish a set of internal circulation.

02. Industry expectations and the reality of the gap, AI technology needs to be "more grounded" to output value

As a rather cutting-edge field in this era, the industry's existing knowledge of AI is mixed. In Huang Feiyue's view, the main problem of AI is that there is a gap between the ideal and the reality, whether it is AI practitioners or AI applications, there is a certain degree of over-ideal expectations.

From the perspective of AI practitioners, the students and employees recruited by the AI industry in the past few years are all first-class talents, but when they are actually in employment positions, they will face the gap between self-expectation and reality. At the beginning, everyone thinks AI can transform the world, but in the process of carrying out the work, they will encounter a series of difficulties. And employee management becomes a problem in this situation. Huang Feiyue believes that the first thing is to lower expectations and identify a reality that AI can not change the world, but can only make some improvements and create value in some specific scenarios, and cannot have disruptive mutations. Of course, in the process of lowering industry expectations, it is also necessary to continuously create value, so that AI has more and more value to show.

The same is true for the actual users of AI. A few years ago AI would be generally considered to be omnipotent, but there are problems with the actual application. For example, although face recognition AI technology is getting better and better in these years, but it is not possible to achieve 100% accuracy, and the customer's tolerance for such recognition errors is very low, when the calculation error, the customer will think that the algorithm does not work or technical problems, this time there will also be a relatively large gap. Huang Feiyue said, in fact, AI technology in the first few years of the landing environment is not very good, hardware costs, artificial deployment costs are quite high, and the landing process also has a series of problems, but with the continuous improvement of algorithm capabilities in the past few years, computing costs are getting lower and lower, technology iterations to ensure higher and higher accuracy, then the existing AI ideal and the gap between reality will also be smaller and smaller, the future as time goes by AI The value of AI will also be more widely recognized.

03. Seeking to land in order to let the ideal shine into reality, Tencent Youtu continues to make efforts in AI industry, academia and research

In the current economic situation, opportunities and crises coexist. The crisis is that, on the one hand, the Sino-US relationship is tense and the international pattern has changed, on the other hand, the new crown epidemic has swept the world and many industries have suffered heavy blows. But Huang Feiyue believes that the epidemic has interrupted the traditional offline communication, and digital technology has restarted life, work and communication, and society will be more willing to embrace new technology and new opportunities in this situation, which is an opportunity for AI.

In the face of the high expectations of enterprises and individuals for artificial intelligence, Huang Feiyue said that the first thing the industry should do is to seize the opportunity, bury their heads in the technology to do a good job, the business in practice, when the technology is mature enough, in order to let everyone for the actual application of AI to produce value recognition, they then enjoy the subsequent growth gains. And this is also the process that Tencent Youtu is actively promoting, through continuous cooperation with universities and enterprises, to achieve the steady implementation of artificial intelligence industry, academia and research.

Huang Feiyue said that since 2012, Tencent Youtu has established long-term cooperation with Shanghai Jiaotong University, Tsinghua University's Institute of Automation, the Institute of Software, Xiamen University and many other universities, and will also participate in a series of activities such as the "Hornbill" organized by Tencent's university cooperation team. Huang Feiyue said that Tencent Utu's cooperation with the academic community has yielded very good results. For more than eight years, Tencent Utu has cooperated with universities to train a large number of excellent students, who will eventually work in Tencent Utu and become the backbone of the company.

On the other hand, Tencent Utu also has a lot of cooperation with the industry. As early as 2015, Tencent Utu provided an open platform of Utu technology to the public, packaging a series of visual capabilities such as face detection and recognition, alignment, and OCR, and delivering them to small and medium-sized enterprises for free, and started to commercialize the output through Tencent Cloud in 2017. At the same time, Tencent Youtu is also cooperating with Tencent AI Accelerator and Industry Accelerator to provide them with a series of incubation platform mechanisms such as capital mentors and courses, and to communicate with the shortlisted companies to develop, for example, AI solutions in specific industries.

In recent years, Tencent Youtu has been continuously applying AI technology to academia and industry to promote social recognition of the value of artificial intelligence. As one of Tencent's AI labs, one of the characteristics of Tencent Youtu is that it adheres to the development strategy of walking on two legs: basic research and industrial implementation. With computer vision technology as the core, it focuses on cutting-edge research and product implementation in vision fields such as face, human body, traffic, medical imaging and autonomous driving, and has provided more than 15 industry solutions for various industries and accessed more than 90 Tencent star products Business cooperation. In the future, Tencent Youtu will also continue to make efforts to implement AI technology, tap greater industrial and social value, and truly drive the domestic economic cycle with the power of science and technology.
