From individuals to the company, artificial intelligence has been more and more widely embedded in the application of science and technology, even as Mr Frontier technology company (Palantir) such a powerful data analysis platform in the use of AI (artificial intelligence). Microsoft CEO, declared that the AI for men will be able to do anything in the future.

Today, silicon valley giants have speakers in the field of artificial intelligence, amazon, Google, Facebook is not only to a laboratory, and also buying spree various start-ups. Google has thus, perhaps soon, it will Echo with amazon, apple Siri Chambers were fighting.

2015, tesla CEO elon musk and famous incubator Y new take charge of Sam waterman jointly formed the combinatory OpenAI (non-profit organization, with more than $1 billion, behind including Reid hoffman, Peter hill and amazon AWS).

Because think robots will one day replace human, so the public to r&d robot there is fear, this makes the AI research and development of all the difficulties. In order to speed up the development of science and technology progress, OpenAI AI technology, is committed to promoting open source, its cooperation with many institutions and researchers, take the initiative to give up patents, the research results to the public.

Medical artificial intelligence startup valuations

Because the future seems to be a bright:

In 2021, there will be accumulated more than $6 billion of money were spent on the AI, the money comes from health care professionals and consumers.

In 2015, AI has the potential to be a leader in health care industry. At that time, AI can do: diagnosis, prescription for the individual, and according to the global collection of health data to forecast the ailment. Data (fast company)

Today, IBM is leading the AI to the medical field, it invested $1 billion to IBM Watson. The company was founded in 2014, its partner, not a giant company, is the big institutions, including apple, Medtronic, Johnson & Johnson, Under ArmorMayo clinics, health care company, CVs Sloan caitlin cancer treatment center, applying new technology to the medical work.

Paged the doctor Watson

IBM Watson is the cornerstone of Watson in cancer treatment, the application of this application is developed in collaboration with the memorial sloan-kettering cancer center.

Clinicians on Watson training, in addition to input the clinical data of the Internet, will also guide it to customize each patient treatment. Watson application's biggest advantage is that all medical decision making can be completed on the device or other tablet. This means that every doctor in tumor treatment with Watson, the only tools you need to a mobile phone.

3. Education

Innovative companies are a large number of resources into big data, the data from the students of every click, learning behavior and preferences. A vast amount of data can be transformed into wisdom on the basis of the application data, combining adaptive software diagnosis technology can achieve learning customized to the greatest extent.

Big data into wisdom

For example, a company called DreamBox Learning company, on the analysis of middle school students after each click behavior, created millions of mathematical Learning path.

Declara is more like the ultimate form of education development, it is recommended to the user personalized digital content -- from academic journals, conference content to weibo tweets - anyway, are based on personal interests and professional requirements.

Back Kleiner perkings and small Zagreb Newsela, can be automated editing platform release new article, can not only adapt to readers' reading level, but also can promote the user literary skill.

Acrobatiq is at Carnegie Mellon university recently rising company, it developed adaptive courseware, is based on more than 10 years of pioneering research in the field of open learning results.

In addition, the McGraw - Hill ALEKS and Pearson MyLab, are also influential customized learning platform, predictably, they will gradually get large-scale use.

As for the bet IBM supercomputer, maybe it will shake like Watson shock medical education. After all, this is the data driven solutions.

Although have been enumerated and praised the many companies, but we always believe that the most ambitious and ideal is Knewton, this is a big data company, it can clearly understand what you know, how can anyone know of, so as to complete accurate delivery of education content. Today, Knewton has studied all the online course (if the source is a traditional publishers, YouTube online courses), anyway, it is learned from experience, guarantee the algorithm system can adjust the difficulty of learning, so that to meet the needs of each user's personality.

Yes, our robot teachers has come, the future education, now we only need to press the start button.

4. The network security and military defense

"The greatest investment opportunities in areas where there is a huge problem. The greater the difficulty, means that the greater the opportunity."

If you make the most of modern electronic system, will be a dreamy effect. But if it is to use on the excavated, the consequences can be disastrous. At the moment, all sorts of new company have sprouted out, as they are selling to the public on a variety of network security solutions, in order to avoid did not exist 10 years ago the network risk. Yes, in today's highly developed social networking, electronic crime is a round but difficult problem.

Cylance it Stuart McClure in 2012 founded, AI system is used to copy and optimize human thinking to solve the problem of complex, so as to let the customer service goals. (Cylance blackstone, the first capital in 2016, dell, DFJ, Khosla fund and KKR institutions such as investment of $100 million, valuation of close to $1 billion)

Specifically, Cylance approach is to use machine learning to simulate "hackers" of thinking, the prediction of malicious software and other Internet threats, undermining the hacker invasion plans. Nowadays, it has with thousands of companies and government agencies to actively monitor millions of terminal security vulnerabilities.

It has also created a robot AI technology, it can be widely used in military fighting and rescue work.

Similar to the diffuse of iron man, the department of defense norbert walker recently proposed a concept called "half people Ma Zhan", and the combination of artificial intelligence system to build modern iron man.

Now, the robot has become the main fighting force in Afghanistan and Iraq; The equivalent of 1700 van backpack robots are employed to detect the mainland mineral deposits; Military uavs, such as MQ - 9 death ability under the condition of the unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) interaction from the specified location on take-off, landing and automatic flights.

5. Transportation

Ten years ago, driverless cars is still show an absurd idea in the modern family. Now, Google's self-driving car is silicon valley road tour, accumulative total mileage has more than 2 million miles, seems to be will soon enter the ordinary family.

In 2020, is expected to have 10 million driverless cars in the world.

In the big bang, not only has the figure of emerging technology companies, such as tesla, Google, apple, Uber is spending millions of dollars to develop unmanned vehicles. And traditional automobile group participation, such as Mercedes, BMW, gm and Cadillac, has also started to invest a lot of resource development of unmanned systems.

This month, tesla CEO announced their ambitions, musk's dream is to self-driving technology applied in the streets, the future of consumer products will include pickup trucks, heavy trucks and high-density buses.

Soon, all the tesla motors will be installed autonomous driving system, the system of intelligent degree is 10 times the machine learning. Tesla's tire monitoring computer will carry a fail-safe mechanism, even if there is some failure, can run normally. It is reported, tesla's detailed itinerary will be released next year.

National car utilization rate is only 4%

National transport generally are idle 96% of the time. The grand blueprint of musk idle car is make full use of all resources, make their own money.

Imagine such a picture: early in the morning, your tesla to drive you to work, you can handle work in the morning; On arrival, you do not need to find a parking lot, it has the phone; This period of time in your work, it help you to earn a little extra cash; After work, will pick you up on time, and then helping to take a car pool.

6. Manufacturing and manual workers

Large companies is already involved in automation and robot assembly line layout work.

Amazon spent $775 million for 2012, became the System, which makes the humanoid robot has been able to deal with 700 - pound goods. At the end of 2014, amazon in 10 goods warehouse were used in the 15000 Kiva robots. In October 2015, that number increased to 30000.

Amazon's warehouse robot

Lowe's home improvement already use Bossa Nova Robotics company inventory verification to development of robots. Its working principle is through the computer scanning bar code, and then store inventory.

Other physical work automation, however JingCheng Knightscope produced K5 security robot, large shopping malls and specialized service security system of the government building. Its 360 ° camera near real-time gathering all the information, and back to the backend server, convenient company long-distance monitoring. Its acoustic detection system can capture the glass broken voice, automatically send alarm information to the controller.

Recently, macy's also collaborate with IBM Watson, "messi telephone service" and artificial intelligence is developed shoppers. This system can answer common consumers, and provides consumers with mobile phone APP to help shopping. At present, the system has been installed in 10 macy's locations.

7. What's next?

The acceleration of risk investment and merger and acquisition, make the AI application is booming.

Intel investment fund has become the most active venture capital fund, its investment projects include Data Robot, API. Ai, MindMeld and so on.

Google fists attack, the company has the most active m&a, in the five years since 2011, completed the nine companies incorporated into.

The robot of artificial intelligence pioneer is a bot, the program design to promote the machine interaction with people.

Version AOL instant messenger Smartchild bot is one of the first harvest of criticism, but in the entire life cycle, harvested its 30 million users. Smartchild was apple, and even cause Siri wanted to play.

AI prehistorical powers are all-consuming BWCHINESE Chinese website

Apple Siri voice assistant

When apple announced the iphone 4 s with individual voice assistant Siri, apple users around the world opened up people's popular forms of molesting vices.

With Smartchild differ, however, Siri more intelligent. And, the more you use, the higher level of intelligence, the more will know you. Four years later, Siri weeks active volume has been as high as 1 billion.

So, the next wave of innovation must be driven AI bot, especially machine learning. Focusing on human-computer interaction and collaboration mode of learning programs will overturn the rules of the game. If it believes that some information is very important, will increase the weight of this information. Answer questions and solve problems will be the main function of it.

Last year, Slack released a new set of APIs (application programming interface), want to let developers using Slack, can be more smoothly to write new apps. Among them, the most attractive tool when BOTKit, this is a electronic automation services open source framework, convenient user interface to enter through dialogue. Its goal is to simplify the tedious business communication gradually.

The Slack recently announced that it will and risk investment company consortium (including Accel, Andreessen Horowitz, Index Ventures, Kleiner Perkins and Spark Growth) to achieve cooperation, has created a $80 million fund investment in software projects. Since the launch, Slack has invested 3 companies, one of the two businesses are related to making robots, Slack can be integrated into the platform.

(2) the speech recognition

Strong voice recognition software has been ignored, but it's always is the technology to change the rules of the game, the AI will make it become the brightest star in 2016.

The most notable speech recognition technology innovation, by baidu chief scientist Wu En da (Corursera co-founder and chairman of the board). After he left Google in the post, responsible for operating Corursera in silicon valley's artificial intelligence laboratory.

Wu En observed, "depends on the context of the accuracy of speech recognition even reached 95%, it is hard to ensure that the user often want to use. Only 95% to 98, 99 or 99.9%, to make the user from occasionally used to rely on."

In other words, a lot of people don't understand the difference between 95% and 99%, but the accuracy of 99% is a qualitative leap. Speech recognition program is AI applications on mobile phones, it will bring the Internet to millions of people in developing countries, there are a lot of people are illiterate, they don't know how to use technology tools.
