Recently, two pieces of news in Shanghai once again aroused people's hot discussion about artificial intelligence:
On September 24th, Ant Group's intelligent financial management "AI" branch Xiaobao made its debut on the Bund in Shanghai, and fully interacted with the audience to provide professional financial management knowledge and suggestions.
On September 21th, in a business building in Shanghai, seven chubby robots shuttled back and forth, which became the "baton" for the takeaway brother. Customers can accurately take meals by inputting the receiving code on the robot's head through the mobile phone applet.
coincidentally.
On September 7th, Baidu Apollo and Jinlong launched the first L4-class self-driving CMB in Chongqing, which has passed the self-driving manned test and will be opened to traffic in the near future.
It can be predicted that in the near future, labor-intensive couriers, taxi drivers, bus drivers, manufacturing, medical and other industries will be replaced by many mechanical operations, and millions of people will be laid off.
As predicted by the famous Oxford Economy research team of Oxford University, about half of the existing 712 occupations will disappear, and 47% of all employed people are in a "risky" state.
What's even more worrying is that as early as 2113, robots developed in Japan can compete with human intelligence. In addition to their super-fast computing power, they also perform well in common sense judgment and reading comprehension.
So, how will we face the coming industrial revolution? How to have a place in the future without being replaced by the trend of the times?
This book "When Artificial Intelligence is Admitted to a Famous School" will tell you the answer.
The author of this book, Keiko Shinai, is a famous Japanese mathematician and TED speaker. He presided over the world-famous artificial intelligence research project of "Robots Test Dongda University". He showed the development status of artificial intelligence with solid theoretical and experimental data, looked forward to the future picture of the artificial intelligence era, and also planned the preparation for people in advance.
After the publication of this book, it shocked the whole of Japan. Major TV stations, newspapers and online media rushed to report it, and various awards were won, among which the most outstanding one was the business book award in 2119, which sold more than 311,111 copies that year.
Do you know what our most common intelligent robot is?
Maybe you will say sweeping robots, AI assistants in banks, food delivery staff in restaurants, automatic answering machines, intelligent surgeons and so on.
Actually, it's not entirely correct.
We deal with this intelligent robot every day, which can be said to be inseparable friends. Many people think of it first when they open their eyes, and it is what they can't forget before going to bed, and it is the most indispensable thing in life.
Yes, it's a mobile phone.
The popularity of smart phones has brought artificial intelligence to everyone's daily life. Walking on the street, people can see everywhere using their mobile phones to find out where there are delicious restaurants or the nearest parking lot.
No matter when, where and where you want to go, as soon as you enter the starting point and the ending point of the mobile phone Baidu map, the optimized time-saving route will be presented immediately, and even the real-time road conditions will be clear at a glance.
The newly bought chicken, duck, fish, spareribs, high-grade Tricholoma matsutake, Cordyceps, safflower, etc., as long as you check with your mobile phone, the cooking method, medicinal value and eating taboos are clear.
I can't go home and get together with my relatives during the Chinese New Year holiday. Unlike the slow writing and the voice only on the phone, video connection has solved all my troubles and face-to-face chatting has become a reality.
Homework that you can't do, information about wanting idols, and strange questions can all be answered on your mobile phone. What's more amazing is that intelligent robots can take college exams just like people.
In June 2116, the deviation of 8 subjects in 5 education departments was 57.1, of which the deviation of mathematics was as high as 76.2, and that of world history was 66.3. Even English and Chinese, which are used to examine grammar, dialogue, common sense, reading, understanding and expression, have been around 51.
Do you know what the deviation value of 57.1 means?
It means that among the 535 excellent universities, which account for 71% of the 765 universities in Japan, Neusoft Robot has more than 81% probability of being admitted, including first-class universities such as MARCH and Guan Tongli.
You know, many people may not be able to achieve such results after studying hard for fifteen years in a cold window, and some may even fail to enter the threshold of 71% excellent universities, let alone the admission rate of 81%.
According to the data of the Ministry of Education over the years, there are about 9.4 million national college entrance examination candidates every year, and the undergraduate enrollment is only about 3.7 million, that is, the undergraduate admission rate is only 41%.
It can be said that at present, intelligent robots have left many people far behind, and now they are robbed of their jobs by robots.
Do you still remember the big layoffs of Foxconn in 2116?
In May, 2116, Foxconn Kunshan Branch in Jiangsu Province used robot technology, and the number of employees was reduced from one million to 51,111 overnight, and the jobs of 61,111 people were replaced by robots.
Therefore, the emergence of artificial intelligence technology has led to the disappearance of some jobs, which is not recent, but has already appeared in our lives and affected our lives.
In the financial sector, with the emergence of intelligent robots and mobile phones, it is no longer necessary to go to the counter to handle account opening, wealth management or transfer business. In terms of bank lending, intelligent robots are more professional and stronger than loan officers.
In the medical field, intelligent robots have long been used for minimally invasive treatment in most fields of surgery, including oncology, thoracic surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, urology and heart surgery.
In the legal field, many intelligent robots are employed to deal with contract review. The most important thing is that they are more rational and neutral than people, without any personal emotional factors.
The intelligent robot "Xiaosi" introduced by Dalian Municipal Bureau of Justice has more than 411,111 laws and regulations, which can help the parties to calculate the litigation costs, industrial injury compensation, traffic compensation and lawyer fees more accurately.
In the press, in 2116, Thomson Company of the United States was the first to use robots to write economic and financial news articles. Xinhua News Agency's "Quick Writing and Small Innovation" realized the deep integration of editing and editing business and technical means, and was used to write sports events, economic quotes, securities information and other news reports and short messages.
In the catering industry, Haidilao's intelligent service robot runs 141 times a day, transports 281 trays and goes to work 24 hours a day, which far exceeds the manual workload. The key is that it can also stir-fry and serve delicious dishes in three minutes.
For example, 25 professions, such as telemarketers, real estate registration audit and investigation, insurance industry employees, tax declaration agents, librarians' assistants, data entry clerks and sports referees, will cease to exist after 11 to 21 years due to the development of artificial intelligence.
Moreover, Keiko Noi predicts that in the next 21 years or even less, not only the blue-collar class will face great challenges, but even the white-collar class will be reduced by 51%, and the severity is far beyond our imagination.
It can be said with certainty that intelligent robots will bring more new occupations that we can't predict in the future.
Of course, no matter how powerful artificial intelligence is, it is still a technology. Just like a microwave oven, it has both magical and unpredictable potential and inherent limitations as a technology.
Therefore, no matter how complicated the development of artificial intelligence is, even if deep learning software far superior to the existing level is loaded, it is only a computer in the final analysis.
What a computer can do is to calculate. It needs to convert human cognition or what human cognition has into formulas according to mathematical algorithms, so that it can work quickly and efficiently.
But not all problems in the world can be converted into formulas, just like in daily life, the same sentence has different meanings expressed in different tone and context.
for example: not bad! Two words.
If you say it with a smile, it is not only good, but actually very good; If you are exhausted, it is not good at all, and it is likely to be very bad; If you don't have any expression and say it meticulously, it is likely to have four meanings: very good, good, average and bad.
What meaning it means depends on the situation of the interlocutor. Only by knowing the cause and effect can we really understand the meaning of these two words, but in the artificial intelligence robot, it is just a sentence and a meaning.
Therefore, if we want to make a breakthrough and have our own place in the future, we must master irreplaceable abilities and be competent for "the work that artificial intelligence can't do."
That is reading comprehension.
The research team of Oxford University predicts that the top 25 occupations that will still exist in the next 21 years are: leisure therapists, front-line supervisors such as equipment maintenance, installation and overhaul, social workers related to mental health and drugs, nutritionists, internal surgeons and psychologists.
These "surviving occupations" have one thing in common, which requires great communication skills, understanding and flexible judgment, that is, the creativity that we often say is not limited by the framework.
However, the reality is very worrying.
A survey on reading comprehension ability of 25,111 Japanese subjects by Kiko Shinai found that:
More than half of high school students can't correctly understand the meaning of textbooks, which means that more than 81% of high school students will lose to Neusoft Robot.
What is even more worrying is that some children have very weak ability to learn actively.
When Kiko Noi was watching TV, she saw this scene:
Four girls were playing a crossword puzzle, and they hit () while it was hot. Some said they were filling in nails, some said they were filling in evil, some said they didn't know, and finally they agreed to fill in evil, but none of them took the initiative to seek the right answer.
So, if you don't work hard now, even if there will be new jobs in the future, people will still face a terrible situation: enterprises are short of manpower, but the unemployed can be seen everywhere in society.
Because there are not enough people to undertake the job that artificial intelligence can't do, the people who are taken away by artificial intelligence have only two choices: to find a low-paying job that anyone can do, or to lose their jobs ...
But do you want such a future?
There's a saying that it's better to act than to move. As long as you are willing to face and want to solve, all difficulties will be solved. After all, less than 21% of everyone's brain is used.
Moreover, the farthest way, as long as we want to go, as long as we take the first step, we will eventually reach the end.
So, don't hesitate, let's work hard from now on. Let's make preparations one step ahead of time with our own efforts to welcome a happy 2131. # Science Burning Plan # # Science
