In what way does Baidu fight involution?

How does AI enter daily life?

In this issue, Baidu World is coming.

How does Baidu subvert the supply-side reform of the travel industry? ?

This is Dabai Business Review. I am Dabai, who is at the forefront of the ai trend. When we were immersed in the excitement of China athletes winning gold in the Olympic Games, we didn't know that there was "AI+3D technology" behind it. When we were still queuing in the online car, we didn't know that the unmanned taxi had been commercialized; When we were still waiting for the popularization of 5G, we didn't know that AI was looking for someone and AI was supporting the elderly. These are inseparable from Baidu, a big research and development company of artificial intelligence technology. ?

On August 12, Baidu announced its second quarter financial report. Li Yanhong revealed in the conference call that it is estimated that by 2025, the total cost of the driverless car Robotaxi will be lower than that of the online car, and it will achieve large-scale growth. In Dabai's view, this is completely the supply-side reform of the travel industry. It is conceivable that in just four years or so, the network car will face subversive challenges. ?

By the way, is AI going to be refined? How many steps does Baidu have to take to realize this banner? ?

First of all, the cost of new energy vehicles continues to decline. According to Baidu's data in June, Apollo launched the fifth generation shared unmanned vehicle Apollo Moon. For the first time, it was announced to the outside world that the cost of unmanned vehicles was 480,000, which was far lower than the current cost of unmanned vehicles in the industry, and further reduced the cost per kilometer of unmanned vehicle services by 60%. ?

Secondly, with the widespread deployment of autonomous driving, system costs and operating costs are decreasing. Baidu has accumulated a wealth of autonomous driving technology and service capabilities in the past eight years, providing absolute strength for the large-scale commercialization of unmanned vehicle services. In the process of operation, Baidu unmanned vehicle service user satisfaction is as high as 4.9 points, out of 5 points. ?

In the traditional travel industry, the driver's labor cost and management cost are always rising. In the field of Baidu unmanned vehicles, the integration of software and hardware has entered an unmanned environment and changed the underlying logic of the network car. Earlier this year, Li Yanhong revealed to the outside world three commercialization paths of Baidu's autonomous driving, including providing Apollo autonomous driving solutions for the main engine factory, Baidu's car-making and unmanned car services. ?

In terms of test mileage and test qualification, Baidu intelligent driving technology continues to lead the industry. The cumulative autopilot test mileage of Apollo L4 exceeds120,000 km. In terms of test qualification, Baidu Apollo has obtained 278 licenses for autonomous driving test, becoming the first company to receive the notice of Beijing driverless road test (Phase II). By the end of 2020, Baidu's unmanned vehicle service has served more than 430,000 people. ?

Li Yanhong predicted that by 2025, Baidu may list Robotaxi as a separate income line. Baidu plans to expand its unmanned vehicle operation to 30 cities, 3 million users and 3,000 vehicles in 2023. In Dabai's view, this will become the largest unmanned vehicle service network in China. ?

Baidu unmanned vehicle is not only the supply-side reform of travel mode, but also will change everyone's travel mode. It is also an environmentally-friendly scientific research product. Its intelligent and environment-friendly characteristics make its market prospect broad. ?

In what way does Baidu fight involution? ?

In fact, with the empowerment of AI technology, Baidu has three growth engines, including mature and steady mobile eco-business, fast-growing intelligent cloud business, smart driving leading the industry and other growth businesses. ?

Baidu Q2 financial report data, this quarter achieved revenue of 31400 million yuan, and the revenue index exceeded market expectations. Among them, the revenue growth rate of Baidu AI Cloud reached 765,438+0%, leading Baidu's core revenue to move forward steadily. Baidu Q2 financial report exceeded expectations, and 34 investment banks gave optimistic ratings. Baidu's financial report this quarter shows that R&D expenditure is 6.3 billion yuan, and the R&D investment income ratio has exceeded 20%. In the past ten years, Baidu's accumulated R&D intensity is above 15%, which is a hard-core technology made of real money. ?

Today everyone is talking about the involution of the Internet industry. In fact, the so-called involution of an industry is essentially a technological stagnation. Therefore, Baidu's long-term technical investment is the key to unlock its long-term growth potential, and artificial intelligence is Baidu's weapon against involution. ?

Are you curious that Baidu has invested so much value in AI technology? ?

For example, at the Tokyo Olympic Games, all 65,438+00 members of the national diving team won medals. Behind the gold medal, there is the credit of Baidu's "AI+3D technical training system", which can freeze athletes' movements, analyze data, correct deviations, quantify indicators, and get the blessing of AI technology, making this two-second sport beautiful enough to shock the world. In addition, Baidu recently announced the goal of achieving carbon neutrality at the group operation level in 2030. This kind of action to create value for society also needs the support of AI technology.

How does AI enter daily life? ?

Are you asking me, these AI applications sound superior, what is the direct relationship with us? Yes, "related to me" is the simplest expression of technology. ?

As a window to understand the latest achievements and applications of Baidu's artificial intelligence, Baidu World Congress has cooperated with CCTV News since last year, which makes people intuitively feel that Baidu is leading AI to improve people's livelihood and landing applications. ?

What should I do if my loved ones get lost? Baidu trained AI to find people based on 200 million pictures, and the accuracy of face recognition reached 99.7%. As of 202 1 1, Baidu AI has helped nearly 1.2 lost people reunite with their families, which is almost equivalent to saving more than 1 10,000 broken families! ?

There are now 260 million elderly people over 60 in China. Now many young people are anxious about their future pension. What can AI technology do in the life of the elderly? ?

Baidu launched the "Love for the Old" project of AI pension, and sent small smart speakers into the community. Old people can get food delivery, maintenance, consultation and other services through small-scale calls, as well as life information such as controlling household appliances, listening to music, Peking Opera and getting news recipes. Community workers have realized the intelligence of pension management through a small degree. ?

Quanzhou, Fujian is a coastal city with 8 million residents. Recently, Baidu helped Quanzhou build a brand-new "water brain", which can accurately predict water consumption, accurately regulate the water pressure of ordinary people, and help the water system reduce electricity consumption by 8%. Residents of a city benefit from AI. ?

Now AI technology has resonated with people's livelihood and well-being. Baidu let AI enter the homes of ordinary people. Touchable AI application is the truest confession of technology. ?

On August 18, Baidu World Congress 202 1 jointly organized by Baidu and CCTV News will be opened soon. It is said that your favorite brother, Simon, will appear as the new spokesperson of Baidu APP with "Simon AI Digital Man", and the "Big Coffee" connection of China Diving Dream Team will tell the chemical reaction after the combination of Baidu AI black technology and diving. It is said that there will be "automobile robots" beyond the definition of automobile functions. ?

Most importantly, Dabai will also watch the live broadcast on the sidelines and witness this science and technology event brought by Baidu. As an AI popular science student, I recommend you who love science to see it then.
