"Human-machine wars - who is the Olympic prophet?" During the Olympics, using Microsoft Bing to search for "Olympics", the first thing that leaps into the eye is this provocative banner. This is the challenge that Microsoft artificial intelligence has launched to humans.
Yes, when the best athletes in the world use the power of the wild in the Rio Olympics to challenge the limits of human physical strength, the artificial intelligence created by human brains has launched another fierce competition outside the arena.
This is a contest that has not been included in the Olympic competition, but its level of ingenuity is no less than the fight on the Olympics.
The Olympics are big IP, AI is coming to brush
The numerous projects, the intensive schedule and the large amount of information provide a good use for artificial intelligence technology, and the hidden attention resources hidden behind the Olympic Games are also the main incentives.
The United States, China and the United Kingdom will be ranked in the top three medals, of which China will receive 35 gold medals, 27 silver medals and 20 bronze medals - on August 6, the Olympic Games just opened, Microsoft calculated with deep neural network "æŽ" The Olympic medal list is released.
Not only is Microsoft taking the Olympics to the sea. When Bai Yansong, who explained the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, was also screened, Baidu’s artificial intelligence voice assistant “Secret†rushed out to grab the rice bowl and explained the Chinese men’s basketball team against the US team. Sending a manuscript to report on the Olympics is also the "Washington Post" abroad, and there are "headlines today" in China.
“The exposure of the Olympic Games is very high, which is an excellent opportunity for corporate brand promotion.†When it comes to domestic and foreign companies, they show their magical skills during the Olympic Games and showcase artificial intelligence technology. Yi Zi’s entry analyst Zhao Ziming believes that behind the Olympic Games Massive attention resources are the main cause. In addition, the Olympic Games are numerous, the schedule is intensive, and the amount of information is large, which also provides a good use for artificial intelligence technology.
In the eyes of Guo Jia, the chief operating officer of Turing Robot, promoting and promoting its own technology, paving the way for commercialization, is only one of the motives of major technology companies to showcase artificial intelligence technology, and there is a motive and current development of artificial intelligence industry. The stage is related.
"The domestic and foreign technology giants are investing heavily in artificial intelligence technology, but overall, there are still few companies that master this technology. The whole industry has not yet emerged. In the long run, it is not a good thing for market development." Guo Jia accepts the Science and Technology Daily. The reporter analyzed the interview, which is why Google, Facebook and other companies have been open source through artificial intelligence technology, so that more people can master this technology.
The artificial intelligence technology that caught the eye during the Olympic Games reminded Guo of the Go game between Google's Alpha Dog and Li Shishi. At that time, many people in the industry regarded it as a brand marketing of Google Flower. "But the purpose of these companies is not only to make money, but to hope that more people pay attention to artificial intelligence technology, participate in this industry and push it forward." Guo said.
Not only the fists, but also the real knife
The characteristics of these technologies are that they can replace human beings more quickly and better to complete some complicated and trivial tasks, and make artificial intelligence technology practical and practical, making it a tool for improving productivity.
Whether it is predicting the Olympic medal list, or explaining the basketball game, or the robot writing, in Guo’s opinion, all that is done is pattern recognition + machine learning, which is the development of the global artificial intelligence industry in the weak AI era. Commonality.
However, some of the artificial intelligence applications displayed during the Olympic Games left a deep impression on Zhao Ziming and Guo. In addition to the writing robot, there is also a photography robot used by the official photo agency of the International Olympic Committee, Getty Images, which allows photographers to take photos remotely and make the camera more flexible.
"The characteristics of these technologies are that they can replace human beings to complete some complicated and trivial tasks faster and better." Zhao Ziming said. In Guo’s words, “It’s a real use of artificial intelligence technology to make it a tool for productivity.â€
The Olympics is just a microcosm. In the field of artificial intelligence, such applications are growing like mushrooms, and sports are no exception. On the American crowdfunding website Kickstarter, there was a table tennis sparring robot called "trainerbot" to start crowdfunding. On August 3, before the opening of the Olympic Games, the robotic R&D team announced that the product would enter some table tennis clubs to meet the public. Unlike traditional teeing machines, this robot can simulate and learn a variety of teeing methods and routes to help athletes and amateurs train their skills.
Not long ago, the sports brand Hummer also launched a accompanying robot "beatbot". This robot can simulate the running trajectory of the athletes themselves and other runners, simulate what kind of speed should be maintained at what time, and train with the athletes. Similar to the rugby sparring robot, which recognizes the athlete's position and makes a collision.
Help rugby players improve their collision skills.
The biggest common denominator of these products is the application of artificial intelligence technology to practical scenarios. These scenarios are often particularly demanding, and artificial intelligence technology can be used in the cutting edge.
“The subversive value of artificial intelligence technology is precisely reflected in these products.†Guo Jia explained that when people refer to robots, the first intuition is that they can replace part of human labor, and if this thing becomes a reality, it must It will have a profound impact on the entire industry and even the entire society.
Rio is coming to the fore, Tokyo is blooming everywhere?
This year is called the first year of the outbreak of artificial intelligence industry. The Tokyo Olympics four years later will be the fifth year of its development. The performance of artificial intelligence in the next Olympic Games cannot be expected.
Looking back on the 120-year history of the Human Olympics, the close connection between artificial intelligence and the Olympics is unprecedented. Even with the London Olympics four years ago, the Rio Olympics has quietly changed. For example, from the TV screen, many track and field athletes wearing smart wearable bracelets this year.
"But it should still be said that artificial intelligence technology has just emerged, and the climax has not yet arrived." Guo Jia believes that there is a huge application value behind these up-and-coming technologies waiting for the market to develop.
For example, using artificial intelligence technology to predict the Olympic medal list, although it is similar to Li Shishi in the game of Alpha, it is more of a technical display, but no one can deny its future potential. Perhaps it will not be long before this technology will be stunned in many fields, and the field of securities analysis and pathology analysis may be the first to taste the sweetness.
"The intuition of many people in the industry is that artificial intelligence technology will soon erupt on a larger scale. This time will not be too long, from a few months to two or three years." Guo said.
Go back to the Olympics itself. In 2016, the first year of the outbreak of the artificial intelligence industry, the Tokyo Olympics four years later will be the fifth year of its development, and the performance of artificial intelligence in the next Olympic Games cannot be expected. What's more, Japan, its host country, is itself a robotic powerhouse and a robotic powerhouse.
If the spirit of the Olympic Movement is people-oriented and the robot loses the meaning of the game instead of people participating in the competition, Guo Jia believes that more and more robots will penetrate into the education and auxiliary links outside the competition. Every aspect of the Olympics. Zhao Ziming also gave a similar view, "I believe that artificial intelligence technology will be more fully applied to the Olympic Games."
How these predictions will be reflected in the next Olympic Games, Tokyo will reveal the answer for us four years later.
"Only about one shot"
Well-known commentator Yang Yi on the microblogging to Baidu artificial intelligence robot secret "the next battle." In the face of the new commentator who successfully explained many basketball games during the Rio Olympics, Yang Yi, who is straightforward, said, "I want to try to talk with non-biological solutions." In the quarter-finals of the Olympic men's basketball team against the Lithuanian team at 10:00 pm on August 17th, the two sides broadcast live on the video website for the first time.
