西媒：中国人工智能实力可比肩美国 “双寡头”局面已到来

　　西媒称，扩音器识别出了使用者的声音，并逐渐降低了音量；在人声的指挥下，窗帘打开或关闭，空调系统依据指定的温度开启，吸尘器自动关闭。科大讯飞是一家专门从事语音识别技术研发的公司，旗下拥有约2000种使用语音识别技术的产品。中国政府已经正式将该公司认定为人工智能领域的领军企业。

　　据西班牙《国家报》网站12月24日报道，中国正经历一场真正的人工智能革命，其实力已经可以与目前该行业的领导者美国相竞争。中国领导人曾明确表示，人工智能是国家战略重点。依照今年7月中国政府发布的有关新一代人工智能技术发展规划，到2020年，中国的人工智能总体技术和应用将与世界先进水平同步；到2030年，将成为世界主要人工智能创新中心。

　　这一发展战略已经初显成效。中国的人工智能企业正在研发无人驾驶船舶、在一些最拥堵的城市开发用于指挥交通的人工智能系统、在患者注意到症状之前就能识别疾病并对症治疗的技术，以及通过人工智能贷款平台，选择最佳贷款对象，避免欺诈等。

　　例如，依图和Face++等公司研发的面部识别系统可以在北京火车站用来验票，缩短旅客排队等候时间。还可以用来在海关检查走私者，甚至可以在短短几分钟之内识别出犯罪嫌疑人。

　　报道称，可以做到95%的语音识别准确率的科大讯飞公司也是一家研发公共安全技术的企业。该公司正在研制一套先进的监测系统，可以在电话交谈中立刻识别出某些声音。此外，该公司还是中国某些省级公安系统的语音识别设备的供应商。

　　科大讯飞的销售负责人表示，“我们当然可以使用人工智能技术来解决公共安全问题”。该公司的语音识别程序可以识别电话交谈中的某些可能引起警觉的单词，如果这样的单词形成一定的顺序，通话会被立即切断。借助这项技术，警方已经成功打掉了某些电信诈骗团伙，避免了数千万美元的损失。

　　报道称，无论是出于安全还是防卫的原因，抑或是对经济利益和社会福利的考量，有一点是毋庸置疑的，那就是中国正在成为人工智能的行业领军者。

　　中国拥有很多优势。中国的数字经济规模已达3.4万亿美元，占其国内生产总值的30%。官方数据指出，中国拥有7.51亿网民，以及13.9亿手机用户。所有这些都可以产生规模庞大的数据。谷歌中国前总裁李开复形容这些数据就是人工智能的“燃料”。

　　报道称，另一大优势就是其巨大的投资实力。中国不会半途而废。现任创新工场首席执行官李开复和欧亚集团分析师保罗·特廖洛在不久前发布的一份报告中指出，2012年至2017年，投资人对200家从事人工智能研发的“初创”企业的注资规模达45亿美元。乌镇智库指出，截至2016年中国人工智能融资规模累积达到27.6亿美元。到2030年，产业规模力争达到1500亿美元。

　　李开复和特寥洛的报告指出，必须认真对待中国的政策规划，因为中国政府在实现成果方面拥有良好的记录。两位专家还指出，“在快速创新的年代，中美人工智能双寡头的局面不但不可避免，其实已然来到”。

Western media: the strength of China's artificial intelligence can be compared to the "duopoly" situation in the United States

The western media said that the loudspeaker recognized the voice of the user and gradually reduced the volume. Under the command of human voice, the curtain was opened or closed, the air conditioning system was opened according to the specified temperature, and the vacuum cleaner closed automatically. IFLYTEK is a company specializing in speech recognition technology research and development company, about 2000 kinds of products using speech recognition technology owns. The Chinese government has officially identified the company as a leading enterprise in the field of artificial intelligence.

According to the report of Spain's national newspaper on December 24th, China is experiencing a real AI revolution, and its strength has been able to compete with the current leader of the industry in the United States. China's leaders have made it clear that artificial intelligence is the key point of the country's strategy. According to the new generation of AI technology development plan released by the Chinese government in July this year, by 2020, the total technology and application of AI will be synchronized with the world's advanced level. By 2030, it will become the world's main AI innovation center.

This strategy is paying off. Artificial intelligence enterprise China is developing unmanned ship, in some of the most congested city development for directing traffic system of artificial intelligence, in the patient noticed before symptoms can identify the disease and symptomatic treatment technology, and artificial intelligence of the loan platform, choose the best loan object, avoid fraud etc..

For example, a facial recognition system according to Face++ and other R & D can be used to check tickets at Beijing Railway Station, shorten the waiting time of passengers. It can also be used to check the smugglers in the customs, and can even identify the suspects within a few minutes.

Reported that can do the speech recognition accuracy rate of 95% the iFLYTEK company is also an R & D Public Security Technology enterprises. The company is developing an advanced monitoring system that recognizes certain sounds in a telephone conversation. In addition, the company is also a supplier of voice recognition equipment for some provincial public security systems in China.

IFLYTEK's sales official said, "of course we can use artificial intelligence technology to solve the problem of public safety". The speech recognition program of the company can identify some words that may cause alarm in telephone conversation. If such words are in a certain order, the call will be cut off immediately. With this technology, the police have successfully removed some of the telecommunications fraud gangs and avoided tens of millions of dollars in loss.

It is unquestionable whether it is for safety or for defense or for economic interests and social welfare, that is, China is becoming an industry leader in artificial intelligence.

China has a lot of advantages. China's digital economy has reached 3 trillion and 400 billion US dollars, accounting for 30% of its gross domestic product. The official data points out that China has 751 million Internet users and 1 billion 390 million mobile phone users. All of this can produce large numbers of data. Li Kaifu, a former president of Google, described the data as "fuel" for artificial intelligence.

The other big advantage, the report says, is its huge investment strength. China will not stop halfway. Li Kaifu, the chief executive of Innovation workshop and Paul Teriolo, analyst of Eurasian Group, pointed out that from 2012 to 2017, investors had invested 200 US dollars in the start-up business of 4 billion 500 million AI enterprises. The Wuzhen think tank pointed out that the scale of China's artificial intelligence financing up to $2 billion 760 million as of 2016. By 2030, the scale of the industry is striving to reach $150 billion.

Li Kaifu and Liao Luo's report pointed out that Chinese policy planning must take seriously, because the government Chinese has a good record in the implementation of results. The two experts also pointed out, "in the era of rapid innovation, the situation of the Sino American artificial intelligence duopoly is not only inevitable, but it has come to it."
