According to English media reports, although Asia still lags behind Silicon Valley in the research of artificial intelligence, industry experts believe that in 2017, the Asian technology industry will become an important force to promote the development of artificial intelligence.
The following is a summary of the article:
If you try to search for "Machine" in the Google search engine, there is a high probability that one of the top search results is "The machine is coming."
In 2016, artificial intelligence has made tremendous progress. Well-known technology leaders believe that 2016 is a breakthrough year in the history of artificial intelligence.
So far, Asia still lags behind Silicon Valley in the study of artificial intelligence. However, industry experts believe that in 2017, the Asian technology industry will become an important force to promote the development of artificial intelligence.
The basis of artificial intelligence is the analysis of large amounts of data to predict outcomes or patterns. The history of artificial intelligence is almost as long as that of computers, but artificial intelligence has always been mysterious to the outside world and it takes many years to achieve.
At present, with the development of a series of technologies, computer-implemented human-like cognitive abilities may soon become a reality.
In March last year, Google's artificial intelligence system AlphaGo defeated Li Shishi in the Go game, causing close public attention. Previous views have suggested that the complexity of Go exceeds the comprehension of computers.

Silicon Valley technology giants, as well as China's Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent (BAT) are investing heavily in artificial intelligence. On the other hand, data and computing resources are becoming more and more abundant. Therefore, artificial intelligence is making rapid progress.
Artificial intelligence researchers believe that artificial intelligence technology can transform almost all aspects of the global economy and human life, whether it is cancer detection and treatment, management consulting methods, or investment banking operations.
Soumith Chintala, research engineer at the Facebook Artificial Intelligence Institute, said: "In the next few years, we can expect that technologies that drive driverless and AlphaGo will be integrated into multiple areas, such as transportation and medical health."
In 2016, the rapid development of artificial intelligence was mainly due to the rise of “machine learning†and “deep learningâ€.
In machine learning systems, algorithms perform certain tasks through training rather than fixed programs. This requires a lot of data related to this task. Deep learning is a kind of machine learning. This system simulates the human brain and transmits large amounts of data to artificial neurons, which are quickly processed and analyzed.
Pascael Fung, an artificial intelligence researcher at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, said that the industry has achieved some milestones in the development of computers that resemble human brains. Voice and emotion recognition are reaching "new milestones."

Artificial intelligence experts who focus on Asia say that artificial intelligence research in Asia is lagging behind in the West, but Asian technology companies and universities have great potential to catch up.
As China's largest search engine, Baidu is considered to be at the forefront of Asian artificial intelligence research. Baidu has established an artificial intelligence laboratory in Silicon Valley and Beijing. In 2014, Baidu dug up Wu Enda, the co-founder of Google's former artificial intelligence technology and co-founder of online learning platform Coursera.
Zeroth.ai is an accelerator focused on Asian artificial intelligence startups. Tak Lo, managing director of the company, said: "China's BAT companies know that they need to compete with Google and Facebook in the field of artificial intelligence. We expect to see competition in this area in the next few years." He believes that China and Japan And the Korean entrepreneurial ecosystem will promote the development of artificial intelligence technology in Asia.
Facebook's Centara also believes that Asia will play an important part in the global artificial intelligence and deep learning research community. He said: "As individuals, we have already had a good influence in this field." Qin Tara is from India.
However, he also said that the research level in India and other places is far behind the top universities and laboratories in Europe and America. “This is changing slowly and steadily. The key to closing the gap is to design a good mentoring program for young researchers, which is moving fast.â€
Asia's major centers, including Singapore and Hong Kong, have produced a number of startups focused on deep learning. Many companies in this region want to provide services based on artificial intelligence technology.
Technology industry data and research firm CB Insights said last month that since 2011, 137 startups related to artificial intelligence have been acquired globally, with 40 in 2016.
The acquired startups are partially focused on the development of artificial intelligence "chat bots". Such software is based on deep learning technology to help users complete a variety of tasks, including ordering meals, paying bills, or taking a taxi from Uber with text or voice.

One such company is AcTIve.ai from Singapore. The chat bot developed by the company helps bank customers to complete their business through the artificial intelligence platform on the messaging application. Shankar Narayanan, co-founder of the company, said: “We had Internet Banking before, and then we saw the era of mobile banking and the strategy of “mobile first.†Currently, we are entering artificial intelligence. In the banking era, the strategy of 'artificial intelligence first' was adopted."
In Hong Kong, startup Clare.ai is developing a similar artificial intelligence chat robot technology that supports the recognition of Cantonese, English and other major languages. The company's co-founder, Ken Leung, said: "In 2017, we will see further use of this technology by banks, insurance and retail companies. However, this technology will take several years to become mainstream. ."
Pascal von said that as the world's most important manufacturing country, China has a unique advantage to promote the development of artificial intelligence technology, because "the cooperation between research, development and manufacturing can be achieved quickly."
China's BAT company also collected a wealth of data. These companies can use the latest machine learning algorithms to analyze this data and optimize their services.
Artificial intelligence technology has great potential, but industry experts also emphasize that the development of artificial intelligence should ensure that this technology does not have a negative impact on humans.
In September this year, major US technology companies announced the establishment of the "Artificial Intelligence for Human and Social Cooperation Alliance." This non-profit alliance will initiate research on artificial intelligence ethics, "promoting public understanding and understanding of this technology."
Facebook's Centara said: "It is very important to understand artificial intelligence fundamentally, because without the understanding of artificial intelligence, people may overestimate the capabilities of current artificial intelligence technology to make wrong investments and decisions."
Nello CrisTIanini, a professor of artificial intelligence at the University of Bristol in the UK, said users and regulators need to be aware of the potential for artificial intelligence technology to be abused.
The information security of personal data, the reliance on adaptive technology, and the prediction of personal financial behavior are disclosed to insurance companies and banks without authorization. This is a key risk brought by artificial intelligence.
Christianinini said: "In addition to technological advancement, it would be a good thing to make cultural progress in these areas in 2017. This will prevent bad things from happening too late."
Industry experts hope to dispel the fear that the artificial intelligence technology will bring "Skynet". In the movie Terminator, such a computer network controls humans.
Pascal von said: "Some concerns, such as robots taking over humans, are still far away. We have made a lot of progress and breakthroughs, but we have not been able to develop machines with universal intelligence."
