machines to learn and adapt to humans

Only by continuously recognizing the profound impact of artificial intelligence in economic development, social progress, and international political and economic patterns from key dimensions such as strategic height, world perspective, forward-looking thinking, and ethical perspective, can accelerate the development of my country's new generation of artificial intelligence. Li Yanhong, Chairman and CEO of Baidu, said with emotion in a signed review article published in the "People's Daily" today (22).

　　 Li Yanhong pointed out that in today's era, artificial intelligence is regarded as the next major module of scientific and technological innovation, and it is increasingly being valued by countries all over the world. How to speed up the development of artificial intelligence is a problem that has attracted everyone's attention. To this end, Robin Li proposed a comprehensive understanding of artificial intelligence from the following four major directions to accelerate the development of a new generation of artificial intelligence.

　　 Deepen the understanding from a strategic height

　　 Li Yanhong stated in the article that the development of a new generation of artificial intelligence will not only help make technology better serve economic and social development, but also help to continuously meet the people's growing needs for a better life. my country's economy has shifted from a stage of rapid growth to a stage of high-quality development, and technologies such as artificial intelligence have become an important force in promoting high-quality economic development.

On the one hand, the inherent requirements of economic transformation and upgrading provide a broad space for artificial intelligence to serve the real economy; on the other hand, many domestic application scenarios provide valuable training opportunities for technology companies, and the massive data generated by hundreds of millions of netizens provides machine learning The abundant raw materials have greatly accelerated the iteration and innovation of technology.

　　 Use forward-looking thinking to expand understanding

Artificial intelligence is not an isolated static system. Li Yanhong said that from a historical perspective, the intelligent revolution is fundamentally different from the previous technological revolutions.

　　From the steam revolution, the electrical revolution to the information revolution, to some extent, humans learn and adapt to machines. In the era of artificial intelligence, it is machines that learn and adapt to humans, and it is humans and machines that learn and innovate together.

　　 The development of artificial intelligence includes three stages: weak artificial intelligence, strong artificial intelligence and super artificial intelligence. Although strong artificial intelligence and super artificial intelligence are still far away from us, we should use forward thinking to think deeply about the outstanding issues that may arise in the future, such as whether artificial intelligence is safe and controllable, whether humans will be replaced by machines, and what are the responsibilities of humans and machines Definition etc.

　　 A sound understanding from an ethical point of view

　　 Artificial intelligence is highly developed. From the laboratory to the society and to the application, the machine is no longer a simple tool, but may help or even partially replace people in decision-making, such as driving a car, diagnosing illness, teaching knowledge, testing products, etc.

　　 At the same time, artificial intelligence poses challenges to social governance, ethics, and privacy protection. Compared with the rapid advancement of technology, related legal norms, social ethics, behavior habits, and construction of social governance are relatively lagging behind.

　　Only by establishing sound artificial intelligence ethics and handling the relationship between machines and humans, can we better and more obtain artificial intelligence dividends and let technology benefit mankind.
