Song Jiqiang, Dean of Intel China Research Institute: artificial intelligence has reached a critical point

The 2017 China Artificial Intelligence (AI) Opening Ceremony, jointly hosted by Intel and "New Wisdom" - 2017 Xinzhiyuan Open Source·Eco AI Technology Summit opened in Beijing on the 27th. Dr. Song Jiqiang, Dean of Intel China Research Institute, delivered a keynote speech and made an in-depth interpretation of Intel's latest technological innovations and industrial collaboration strategies in the field of artificial intelligence. He pointed out that with the breakthrough of computing power, the explosion of data flooding and the continuous innovation of algorithms, the development of artificial intelligence has reached the critical point of the outbreak, which means that we are in the "golden age" of AI development, and Intel is very optimistic about the future of AI. The infinite possibilities of existence. As the next major innovation trend, AI will undoubtedly subvert the industry and enhance its competitiveness.

In the keynote speech session, Song Jiqiang pointed out that with the rise of the concept of artificial intelligence and the initial construction of the ecosystem, the popularization of AI is promoting the transformation from finance to medical and consumer industries. He believes that it is the best time to add AI elements to each company's products, services and services. To this end, Intel has established a general architecture for machine learning and deep learning. After the acquisition of Nervana, Intel will form a more complete system of its own AI hardware and software products.

Intel currently has the most widely deployed machine learning platform, while the Intel® Xeon FusionTM processor provides the drive for higher performance, general machine learning needs. In response to a more diversified demand, Intel introduced a combination of Xeon®+FPGA for low-power performance calculations in cloud mid-tier/front-end devices. In 2017, Intel will also integrate Nervana's superior resources to launch Lake Crest, a chip specifically designed for deep learning, to accommodate the top performance requirements of neural network training.

In addition to hardware platforms including Xeon processor, Xeon processor, Nervana platform and FPGA, Omni-Path network, 3DXPoint storage, etc., combined with Intel's Intel math function library optimized for deep learning/machine learning (Intel In addition to Intel's Data Analysis Acceleration Library (Intel® DAAL), Intel also provides a variety of deep learning software frameworks for multi-node architectures such as Spark, Caffe, Theano, and Neon at the software level. Collaborative AI development layout of Saffron, TAP, Nervana system, Movidius and other tools and platforms, with hardware chip platform to achieve end-to-end landing. The full-stack layout allows Intel to maximize the compatibility of hardware and software to better help the industry to absorb the differences in high-speed development.

Artificial intelligence has changed the lives of human beings in an unprecedented way. Image recognition technology is making medical diagnosis more precise. Smart retailing is reviving people's consumption experience. Autopilot is making people's travel smarter and safer. In the foreseeable future, the combination of various industries and AI will become more abundant, bringing broad prospects for economic transformation. Dr. Song Jiqiang pointed out that from technology upgrading to industrial upgrading, two prerequisites are needed. The first is the breakthrough of computing power, that is, the improvement of artificial intelligence ability, the breakthrough of performance and adaptability, and the second is the construction of ecology, that is, to create a healthy industry environment to facilitate more people to learn and participate in AI-related project development. Come.

"Intel's goal is to enable AI to be fully utilized in different industries, to maximize the social value created by AI, and ultimately to promote the upgrading of various industries - because only the development of industry can truly realize the value of technology. "Song Jiqiang said.

At present, Intel is sparing no effort to promote the true popularity of AI. It hopes to become the backbone of AI ecological construction with its own experience and advantages in data processing, storage and distribution. To this end, Intel has introduced Intel's Nervana Institute of Artificial Intelligence to the Intel Developer Zone for Artificial Intelligence, providing frameworks, tools, and developer training courses to facilitate training and use of tools. In addition, Intel is constantly supporting open data exchange and knowledge sharing. In the case of healthcare, the BIO IT Partner Program supports open data exchange and knowledge sharing while protecting privacy.

Intel expects AI computing power demand to grow 12 times by 2020. Song Jiqiang expressed his high optimism about the application prospects of AI. He pointed out that Intel will continue to follow the footsteps of Moore's Law and accelerate the development and implementation of AI applications through product technology innovation and ecosystem cooperation to promote the entire industry to embrace the AI ​​era. Finally, Dr. Song Jiqiang called on the government and relevant organizations to work together to promote the integration of big data and AI in various industries by gradually establishing industry standards, and to promote AI for the benefit of mankind.
