Ma Huateng's AI View: Artificial Intelligence Prosperous in Cloud Computing

[Global Science and Technology Comprehensive Report] On June 21, the "Cloud+Future" Summit was held in Shenzhen. In the era of rapid development of the digital economy and the rapid development of artificial intelligence, what is the quantitative and qualitative change that cloud computing brings to society and the economy? Ma Huateng, chairman and chief executive of Tencent's board of directors, said at the meeting that cloud has become the source of industrial innovation, the main platform for new social management, and the strong carrier of artificial intelligence.

Following last year's proposal that "cloud is the first element of the Internet +" and "the future is traditional enterprises processing artificial intelligence in the cloud to handle big data," Ma Huateng emphasized this year that "the cloud is the most important infrastructure for the digital economy." In the past, “plugging in electricity” brought about a revolution in electrification, and now “connecting to the cloud” will bring about a digital upgrade. At the May Fair in Guiyang, Ma Huateng emphasized the role of cloud in the digital economy and pointed out that “using cloud volume” will become an important economic indicator that can measure the development of a digital economy in an industry.

Ma Huateng cited the report pointed out that the speed of enterprise migration to the cloud is accelerating, the future is likely to exceed the traditional data center. However, the cloud is still in its infancy. The computer finally emerged in the age of electricity, and artificial intelligence is expected to become a key product of the cloud era. "Cloud+Artificial Intelligence" may be equivalent to the concept of "Electric+Computer", and enterprises "access to the cloud" can obtain AI, which is information energy.

At the conference, Tencent Cloud released a 2017 strategic new product, the Smart Cloud, and opened Tencent's three core capabilities in computer vision, intelligent speech recognition, and natural language processing. This is the first time that Tencent Cloud has announced its AI strategic route. Smart Cloud will establish a new service layer “AI as a service” in the structure of traditional cloud computing.

In addition, Ma Huateng also shared that both emerging and traditional industries have huge business opportunities and huge challenges. Tencent will continue to enhance, enrich, and open the cloud's capabilities and resources to support innovation, optimization, and upgrade across all industries and build a cloud ecosystem. Ma Huateng stressed: "In the new cloud era, the entire socio-economic operating system and operating modes are undergoing digital iterations."

The following is a speech of Ma Huateng's speech:

Dear Vice Governor Yuan, Vice Mayor Chen, Professor Zhang Zhang, Professor Michael Jordan, distinguished guests, partners and media friends, Good morning everyone!

Thank you all for attending the third “Cloud+Future” summit of Tencent. Just now, Vice Governor Yuan Baocheng showed us his unique style—that is, to present two styles of speeches in one speech, which can not only make a storm, but also Dial cloud to see the day. Let us feel the care of the provincial party committee and the provincial government.

Just now he also mentioned in his speech that during the Dragon Boat Festival he asked me if artificial intelligence is not so terrible? I think that when the cloud is not yet very mature, artificial intelligence may have a long way to go, even including quantum computing in the future.

The development of quantum communications and other technologies will only have a greater impact on the development of artificial intelligence. So I think artificial intelligence is still known to be manageable.

In the past few years, there have been many changes in the cloud market. More and more companies are beginning to pay attention to this market. The entire cloud market has grown faster and faster. Our own understanding of the cloud industry has also deepened. We have observed that the speed of enterprise migration to the cloud is accelerating. Recently, the research report of Internet Queen Marry Meeker mentioned that the share of traditional data centers in the world is declining, and more shares are turning to cloud-based data centers. Last year's share was close to 5 to 5 years, and we believe that this year or next year, the proportion of cloud will exceed the traditional data center.

At the summit last year, I mentioned that the cloud is the first element of the Internet+ infrastructure. Today I also want to say that the cloud is one of the most important infrastructures for the digital economy. At last month's BoJun held in Guizhou, we proposed a concept called "using cloud volume." We all know that we used to use “electricity consumption” to assess the level of local economic development in a city and a country. We believe that the “use of cloud” in the future will be another very important indicator reflecting the development of the digital economy. We use electricity to compare clouds. Electricity brought a last round of industrial revolution. We believe that a new generation of information and energy will bring about a new round of industrial revolution.

Now I would like to share with you the three trends of the future cloud era. Our team has done a lot of work and careful consideration of what these three trends should be, and I would like to share with you to initiate the project.

The first trend is that the cloud is the source of industrial innovation. This sounds like a lot, many people do not believe, I can make an analogy: In the past in the era of electricity, whether in the family or in the enterprise, everyone has a concept of "plug in electricity." After plugging in the electricity, it brought about the revolution of electrification; now we talk about "connecting to the cloud," and I think that after connecting to the cloud, it will bring about a digital upgrade. Therefore, comparing these two concepts, it is actually very reasonable. .

Let's compare it again. What will happen if we have electricity? A large number of inventions have emerged. Electric lights, telegraphs, trams, and so on ... all kinds of electrical appliances, including production tools, all related to electricity, and later the birth of a computer. What will happen with the invention after the cloud appears? What we are seeing is some internet forms, such as QQ, WeChat, online shopping, and search engines. We also see that the cloud has been combined with many industries and industries. For example, with the combination of catering, we see the United States group, comments, 58; also like the combination of clouds and cars, there are drops; with bicycles, there are Mobai and so on. However, we feel that this is only the initial stage of the cloud, just as there is no computer in the era of electricity. In the era of cloud + the future, what should be like a computer? I suspect it may be artificial intelligence. Cloud + artificial intelligence may be equivalent to electricity + computers.

We can also take the case of many industries. There are many trends in using clouds in various industries. For example, we are partners in Sinotrans, SF Express, etc. They are traditional logistics industries and are now beginning to transition to digital. They brought in process reengineering by accessing the cloud. Recently, the OCR (image recognition) technology provided by our cloud has improved their work efficiency. Everyone knows that there are many handwritten address information on the freight bill. Now after scanning with the camera, the background is converted into text after analysis with the artificial intelligence image. If you write too much weeds, we can all be more accurate than the human eye recognize, and turn this data into structured information and then enter the cloud, and then conduct real-time management.

Another case is electronic invoices. I visited the Director-General of the State Administration of Taxation, Wang, two years ago. I told him that I really wanted to make electronic invoices. This idea comes from the WeChat red envelope: We think that the entity of the red envelope can be instantized electronically, and it quickly flows through WeChat. Why can we not use the invoice for decades to be more intelligent? From the computer and information point of view, this is not difficult, so we have been pushing it. Recently we hope to promote cooperation partners such as China Unicom, Kingdee and UF.

And the front-end terminals and other scenes of the hotel are used to promote the development of electronic invoices. After that, I believe that everyone’s reimbursement will be very convenient. After weaving the WeChat, we will pass your invoice information directly. We can immediately get a cloud-stored, unforgeable, electronic invoice in the database of the State Administration of Taxation. . The financial system in the unit is automatically reimbursed and the money is immediately credited back to your account. You do not need to post a bunch of invoices every time you travel. This is also a good example of using the cloud.

The second trend is that cloud is the main platform for new social management. We all know that the public sector of the government is now very active in embracing new technologies, including transportation, security, community, etc., and it is increasingly relying on the cloud as a new type of infrastructure. Cloud-based digital upgrades enable efficient and sophisticated new social management. In fact, we face great opportunities in terms of security, traffic management, etc. But we also have great challenges, such as telecommunications fraud, cybercrime, and many black outputs. They are also very sensitive to technology. If we don’t understand the cloud, No need to use the cloud as a weapon to fight these black productions is absolutely impossible to resist these criminals. Therefore, we say that as long as we grasp Internet information, cloud technology, and laws, the highly interconnected world in the future is actually known, manageable, and controllable. It is important that we actively embrace this new technology.

We have several cases in this area. The first case is smart building. We present the new intelligent building plan of the Tencent office building at the Guizhou Digital Expo. For example, we can connect many cameras and sensors through the cloud to build a big data platform to achieve security and lighting. Even functions like sponge city and so on. The second case is Cloud + e-Certificates. Just now I mentioned the invoices. Actually, we can now do your ID and other documents, including driver's licenses, etc., without directly entering entities, directly into WeChat. The back-end cloud country database can guarantee its authenticity, which is very convenient. The third case is our big data providing LBS geographic information in cooperation with the Guangdong Communications Department. We guide the traffic department to carry out traffic congestion during the Spring Festival and rationally allocate resources to respond to the Spring Festival passenger flow. The fourth case is cloud + taxation. We use the WeChat applet in Chengdu to provide taxpayers with online real-name authentication in the cloud, which eases the situation of long queues at the time of taxation. The fifth case is cloud + security. Recently, the WannaCry virus has been raging. Suddenly it broke out. We quickly released patches through Tencent Cloud and we achieved high-efficiency, low-cost defenses against DDoS attacks.

The third trend is that the cloud is a strong carrier of artificial intelligence. This is the topic we talked about today. I have mentioned on many occasions that the future of traditional companies is to use artificial intelligence to process big data in the cloud. It sounds a bit cryptic and sounds like it can be used to pack the hottest words in the shortest possible sentence. In one piece, but in fact it is very reasonable. Cloud, big data, and artificial intelligence are inseparable. The cloud can provide massive amounts of data and powerful computing capabilities. It is also an indispensable and most powerful vector for our current research on artificial intelligence. We have seen outsiders report that Tencent’s Go artificial intelligence, called “Extraordinary Art”, has achieved a lot. Good results have recently won the championship in the global competition in Japan, demonstrating that Tencent has certain strength in artificial intelligence. The back-end part of “Extraordinary Art” depends entirely on the support of Tencent Cloud. If there is no huge cloud computing capability, this artificial intelligence calculation cannot be realized.

We also have some cases. Our team recently told me that in the area of ​​cancer diagnosis, the Tencent Team of Excellence teamed up with a hospital in Guangdong to use computer to read CT images of patients and assist them in early screening. We use a large number of films for annotation, artificial intelligence and machine learning to form cognition, and finally test its output. At present, our preliminary achievement is to find out that the accuracy rate of lung cancer is 63%, and the accuracy rate of eliminating lung cancer is 78%, which exceeds the average level of the average doctor. Of course, I think this score can be improved. The team told me that if we give them another three months, this level can be improved. If artificial intelligence is combined with medical care in the future, there will be more medical data, which can greatly increase the application of artificial intelligence in medical treatment.

Another case is face recognition. We use Micro Clouds and other financial institutions. We use the cloud to reduce the threshold for banks to use artificial intelligence. We can use the cloud for face recognition. Included in China Unicom's business hall, there is a very popular product, Tencent King Card, 19 pieces, 29 pieces of traffic that can use all services of Tencent monthly, is very popular,

However, it requires the use of face recognition to remotely open accounts, where we have accumulated a lot of experience. Many hackers tried to use photos to simulate and deceive our face recognition system. We constantly upgraded and effectively blocked almost all frauds. So it can be said that we are the most experienced in commercial combat of face recognition.

Another case is to combat the "wool party" in digital marketing. We all know that there is a group of people in the black industry chain. Like the Cattle Dust Party, we call it the Wool Party. He controls a large number of machines with different IP addresses and can instantaneously send a merchant online as a gift or a subsidy for marketing. Thousands of real users took it away at once, just like wool, and we called the Wool Party. Our cloud provides this very unique resilience. If companies want to do digital marketing, you have no experience in this area, and we must use our services. We now provide over 2 million judgments for Dongpeng special drink every day, blocking a large number of black mobile phones to brush the QR code of its drink bottle, and can save at least 30 million yuan a year.

There are many cases where there is no time to start today. In short, we feel that in the new cloud era, the entire socio-economic operating system and operating modes are undergoing digital iterations. We have entered this new cloud era. Whether it is an emerging industry or a traditional industry, there are huge business opportunities, but at the same time, there are also huge challenges. Tencent will continue to enhance, enrich, and open our cloud capabilities and resources. We will support innovation, optimization, and upgrade across all industries. We hope to work with everyone to build a cloud ecosystem.

thank you all!
