At the advanced manufacturing chain theme event of the third Chain Expo, Huang Renxun, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, will have a fireside chat with Wang Jian, director of Zhejiang Laboratory and founder of Alibaba Cloud. Huang Renxun stated that the next wave of artificial intelligence is physical AI. Artificial intelligence is a new way of software development, replacing human coding and algorithmic descriptions to predict outcomes based on basic principles. We use algorithms to learn how to predict results from instances, information, and data. This method of using computers to learn how to conduct projects has been proven to be very scalable. "We have been researching machine learning for a long time, but in 2012, there was a big explosion. Deep learning demonstrations at that time proved to be much more effective than what computer scientists had done in computer vision." Huang Renxun said that from 2012 onwards for the next 5 years or so, technologies like computer vision and speech became effective and surpassed humans, which we call perceptual artificial intelligence. He pointed out that the second wave of artificial intelligence is generative AI, where we can now convert from one mode to another, from English to Chinese, from English to images, from images to English, from Chinese to video. Generative artificial intelligence truly began about 7 years ago and now it has become very powerful. Artificial intelligence can now understand information and generate information, which is incredible because it can solve problems it has never encountered before, just like humans can break down problems step by step and solve problems that have never been truly solved before.
