Artificial intelligence investment and financing accelerates the market and has broad prospects

What is artificial intelligence? Artificial intelligence is a theory, method, technology, and application system that uses digital computers or digital computing controls to simulate, extend, and expand human intelligence, perceive the environment, acquire knowledge, and use knowledge to achieve optimal results. Let's take a look at the related content with Xiaobian.

According to whether artificial intelligence can formally realize reasoning, thinking and solving problems, artificial intelligence can be divided into weak artificial intelligence and strong artificial intelligence. Weak artificial intelligence refers to intelligent machines that cannot truly realize reasoning and solve problems.

At present, mainstream research still focuses on weak artificial intelligence, and has made significant progress, such as speech recognition, image processing and object segmentation, and machine translation. Strong artificial intelligence refers to intelligent machines that can truly think, and thinks that such machines are conscious and self-conscious. Such machines can be divided into humanoid and non-human.

The artificial intelligence industry has broad prospects for development, mainly as follows: the market scale is huge and the growth rate is considerable.

According to the data of the Global Artificial Intelligence Chip Industry Market Prospect and Investment Strategic Planning Analysis Report released by Prospective Industry Research, the scale of China's artificial intelligence market will reach 15.21 billion yuan in 2017, with a growth rate of 51.2%. With the gradual maturity of artificial intelligence technology, the layout of industry giants such as technology and manufacturing industries is deepening, and the application scenarios are expanding. It is expected that the scale of China's artificial intelligence market will exceed 20 billion yuan in 2018, reaching 23.82 billion yuan, with a growth rate of 56.6. %.

Industry's overall financing transactions continue to break previous records

In the past five years, investment in artificial intelligence start-ups has increased by 4.6 times, and the number of transactions has increased from 150 in 2012 to 698 in 2016, increasing from $560 million in 2012 to $4.87 billion in 2016. The two largest investments in 2016 were for automotive technology company Zoox (A round of $200 million) and network security company StackPath ($180 million). The first quarter of 2017 was the most active quarter for AI startups. As of March 23, 2017, the total investment in global artificial intelligence startups was 245, with a scale of $1.7 billion. Nearly 48% of transactions are investments in the seed or angel phase, indicating that more and more new companies are entering the field.

Analysis of regional development of artificial intelligence chip industry

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the number of artificial intelligence-related enterprises in China's three cities in the north and the north has reached 447, which is climbing rapidly. At present, almost all Internet products of Internet companies will add more or less algorithms and deep learning functions. AI is becoming the standard for Chinese Internet companies.

Governments and technology giants actively seize opportunities for artificial intelligence development

At present, all countries in the world are actively deploying technologies related to artificial intelligence. In addition, the United States is still seeking the right to speak in the artificial intelligence industry by strengthening international cooperation. For example, holding multilateral talks on artificial intelligence research and development policies, submitting international artificial intelligence policies to the United Nations, and promoting international standards for artificial intelligence.

The development trend of artificial intelligence industry At present, artificial intelligence technology is gradually maturing, industrial application fields are deepening, artificial intelligence related policies are continuously introduced, and the development of artificial intelligence industry has entered an explosive growth stage.

In terms of industrial application, the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology has promoted the accelerated integration of artificial intelligence and electronic terminals and vertical industries in China. A number of artificial intelligence products such as smart homes, smart cars, wearable devices and intelligent robots have emerged. Plastic appliances, robotics, medical, education, finance, agriculture and other industries.

The smart home industry is competing to create an open and connected platform to realize the interconnection and interaction between various intelligent terminals through cloud data interaction, and build a smart home ecosystem, such as Huawei's Hilink protocol, Xiaomi's SmartThings, Haier's U+, etc.; The representative products of smart cars have attracted much attention in the market. A large number of automobile manufacturers, technology giants and start-up companies actively provide medical care. It is also one of the important application fields of artificial intelligence, with high-tech such as artificial intelligence, sensing technology and big data. Integration, various medical services are gradually becoming intelligent, and promote the smart medical industry to enter the fast lane.

In the future, investment in artificial intelligence will be carried out in the “AI+ industry” manner. It is expected that artificial intelligence application scenarios will be mature and demanding, such as security, speech recognition, medical, smart city, finance, etc. To improve the level of intelligence in the industry and improve the profitability of enterprises, it is expected that the artificial intelligence market will accelerate with the accelerated breakthrough and application of cognitive intelligence technologies such as driverless cars.
