Therefore, the release of Apple's new generation of artificial intelligence Siri and Open Artificial Intelligence Siri immediately caused a huge sensation.
Although those software programs integrated with artificial intelligence Siri cannot be launched immediately, they will at least have to be developed for several months.
However, the upgraded artificial intelligence Siri's ability to recognize voice and then convert it into text is universal.
There is no need to say how practical this function is. People in the previous life used the 'voice to text' function almost every day.
Therefore, even if other software cannot be launched immediately to mobilize artificial intelligence Siri and then develop many magical functions, the function of 'voice to text' alone is quite practical.
As a result, sales of iPhone mobile phones have once again ushered in a crazy surge, making Geek Technology feel goosebumps again.
The next day, Yueguang City, Geek Technology headquarters.
"What's going on? Why are we suddenly holding an emergency meeting?"
Gao Peng, the minister of Geek's game department, asked the other senior executives present.
"It's terrible news."
Li Jun, the minister of Geek's software department, showed a solemn expression.
"The boss is here."
Someone whispered at the scene, and then all the senior executives stood up.
"Boss."
"Boss." —
The people present greeted in unison, and Gao Nian nodded in response.
After arriving at his seat, Gao Nian looked at Zhang Feng, the marketing director.
"Tell me about what happened today."
"Yes."
Zhang Feng agreed and solemnly introduced the situation of Apple, making the expressions of the people present become solemn.
"I didn't expect Apple to be so difficult to deal with."
Gao Peng said with a solemn expression.
In response, Gao Nian nodded and said:
"Indeed, their artificial intelligence Siri is indeed very powerful, but even more powerful is Jobs."
Looking at the gazes cast by the people, Gao Nian continued:
"Artificial intelligence Siri originated from the national-level research project CAL0 in the United States in 2003.
This artificial intelligence CAL0 project is managed by the Stanford Research Institute, and there are more than 500 AI researchers.
During this period, the artificial intelligence CAL0 project received more than 250 million US dollars in research funding and is known as the most luxurious AI research and development project."
Hearing Gao Nian's words, the people present showed surprised expressions.
They did not expect that artificial intelligence Siri was launched in 2003, and the research funding it received reached as much as 250 million US dollars.
However, Gao Nian's words did not end, so Gao Nian continued:
"In 2007, the artificial intelligence CAL0 project spent several years on research and development, and their results could finally be initially put into practical use. Subsequently, they established the artificial intelligence Siri company.
Finally, it was acquired by Apple in 2008. After that, the development speed of artificial intelligence Siri was somewhat beyond people's imagination.
If the artificial intelligence Siri before the acquisition was a toddler learning to speak, with very good prospects,
But the essence is still a toddler.
Then, the artificial intelligence Siri, which has been upgraded and developed by Apple for the second time, is a young man with a certain working ability.
The origin of such a huge change in artificial intelligence Siri is naturally Jobs, who is known as a perfectionist.
Because it is his high requirements for user experience and novel ideas, coupled with the accumulation of technology over the years and top R\u0026D talents from the Stanford Research Institute.
All of this together has created the artificial intelligence Siri in front of us, so the truly powerful one is Jobs!"
Hearing Gao Nian's words, the people present also nodded slightly.
Subsequently, they had to admit that Jobs was indeed a very difficult guy to deal with, and the damage he brought to Geek Technology was very great.
"Director Zhang, what is the current monthly sales of iPhone mobile phones?"
Ni Guanghai, the director of the technology research and development department, asked Zhang Feng, the marketing director.
"According to the marketing department's estimates, the monthly sales of iPhone4 mobile phones are expected to soar to between million and million units."
"Hiss!"
The people present immediately gasped.
They did not expect the surge in sales of iPhone mobile phones to be so rapid, which is almost double the sales.
Although this is just an estimate, it is not certain whether the actual sales can reach such a high level, but being able to give such an estimate is not far off.
"The more iPhone mobile phones are sold, the less we will sell. This iPhone mobile phone has become our confidant."
Academician Ni Guangnan sighed.
This feeling of being chased by the enemy at a rapid speed and being in danger of capsizing at any time is not very comfortable.
"When will our artificial intelligence come out? Didn't we acquire Xunfei Company, which develops intelligent voice technology, in October last year?"
Gao Peng, the minister of Geek's game department, asked puzzledly.
In response, Academician Ni Guangnan, who had not spoken, sighed and said:
"Although the research and development progress of our own artificial intelligence technology is very fast, it is not possible to quickly implement it in a short time.
Because the most difficult part of developing artificial intelligence is the algorithm problem, and the essence of the algorithm is a mathematical problem.
When our artificial intelligence technology made rapid progress, it was when Professor Qiu Chengtong joined the artificial intelligence project team in January.
But the problem is that although Professor Qiu Chengtong is the most powerful mathematician in China, Professor Qiu Chengtong actually does not understand computers.
The reason why Professor Qiu Chengtong can help us in artificial intelligence technology research and accelerate our research and development progress.
The reason is that we have detailed and mathematicized the problems we encountered, and tried our best to make Professor Qiu Chengtong understand what kind of problems we encountered.
In this process, the communication efficiency between the two parties is very low.
Because some problems are difficult to detail and mathematicize, and ultimately Professor Qiu Chengtong can only learn some computer knowledge to understand what problems we have encountered.
Finally, coupled with the fact that Professor Qiu Chengtong himself also has his own teaching tasks and scientific research tasks, Professor Qiu Chengtong cannot wholeheartedly help us develop artificial intelligence technology.
This also leads to the fact that although the progress speed of our artificial intelligence technology is much faster than before.
But in terms of the current progress, if you want to quickly implement it and put it into practical use, it is estimated that it will have to wait until the end of the year or next year at the earliest."
Hearing Academician Ni Guangnan's words, the people present immediately had a headache.
They did not expect the research and development of artificial intelligence technology to be so difficult, and the difficulties encountered to be so many.
"Can we only allow the sales of iPhone4 mobile phones to grow wildly? Allow iPhone4 mobile phones to flaunt their power with artificial intelligence Siri?"
Gao Peng, the minister of Geek's game department, said with a look of reluctance.
"No, we have a way."
Academician Ni Guangnan said something that stunned the people present.
Facing the stunned and puzzled gazes of the people, Ni Guangnan turned his gaze to Gao Nian, and then said:
"The factor that restricts our artificial intelligence from being quickly implemented is ultimately a mathematical problem, and it is also the problem that Professor Qiu Chengtong does not understand computers and does not understand programming.
But we have people who understand computers, people who understand programming, and even he is the world's strongest chip designer and the world's best programmer.
Currently, what he lacks is only mathematical problems. As long as his mathematical level can reach the level of Professor Qiu Chengtong, then all problems will be solved."
Hearing Academician Ni Guangnan's words, the people present instantly lit up, and then they all turned their attention to Gao Nian.
