Most of the first impressions of future technology are mostly from literary and artistic works, and of course "artificial intelligence." As early as 1927, the corner of the artificial Maria created by Fritz Lang's silent film Metropolis should be the first artificial intelligence role in the history of film and even in the history of literature. In the following years, literary and film works on artificial intelligence were continuously introduced, and consumers can see that artificial intelligence can greatly help future life in these works (such as Chavez in the Iron Man series). The hidden dangers of artificial intelligence in the future (such as most of the biochemical people in the Alien series).
However, in the past two years, there have been a large number of products on the market that claim to be equipped with "artificial intelligence". These products include learning robots, smart speakers, etc., and the price is a few hundred dollars. Consumers have seen the artificial intelligence of the original tall become so low, but after the purchase, they found that the product experience and imagination are worse than a little bit. How far is the real consumer-grade "artificial intelligence" from us? This is a good analysis for everyone today.
What is artificial intelligence?Artificial intelligence (ArTIficial Intelligence), abbreviated as AI. It is a new technical science that studies and develops theories, methods, techniques, and applications that simulate, extend, and extend human intelligence. The ninth episode of the animated "Battle Warrior Yamato 2199", "Prisoner of Timing Devices", explains the true meaning of AI through the dual explanations of the intelligence chief and the novel "The Heart of the Observer". : Multi-processing through the program, and finally realize the closed loop of various logics, simulate human intelligence, and then carry out tasks passively or actively. In the process of logical closed loop, AI may issue its own philosophy three questions: Who am I, where am I from, where am I going?
In fact, there is a way to test whether a device or software is artificial intelligence. This is the Turing test. The Turing test is a device for detecting the presence of artificial intelligence: multiple testers introduce questions to the test subject by means of a keyboard, etc. After multiple tests, if more than 30% of the testers cannot determine that the testee is People are still machines, then this machine has passed the test and is considered to have human intelligence. The threshold of this test method is somewhat low. Some chat software has passed the Turing test before, but it is still very valuable as a test to see if artificial intelligence is showing signs.
Of course, as far as the current consumer products are concerned, it is impossible for them to pass the Turing test, and even ask the philosophy three questions. The gap between the active logic logic closed loop and the passive logic closed loop is also a watershed for the establishment of artificial intelligence. Failure to do so means that this product cannot be “self-learned†and cannot be called artificial intelligence.
Amazon echo
The essence is the voice assistant's "AI" product.In fact, the voice-controlled smart speaker is not a "new" product. In 2014, the Amazon Echo speaker was introduced to provide only voice interaction as the only control method. However, the upgrade of the voice assistant to artificial intelligence will not begin until this year.
This year, many domestic first-line Internet companies have launched their own artificial intelligence brands, including Xiaomi, Baidu and Ali, and ported these AI brands to their consumer products, with the largest number of smart speakers. However, according to the observation of this layman, these products seem to have the suspicion of using voice assistants as artificial intelligence.
The original intention of the voice assistant represented by Apple SIRI and Amazon Alexa is to facilitate the user to complete some matters and simplify the manual participation of the user through the interactive mode of intelligent dialogue and instant question and answer. Let the human-computer interaction of the smartphone rise from the original graphic to the voice, and then the voice assistant logs in to more products. Unlike the mobile phone, the number of human-computer interactions of the entertainment product is relatively small, and the voice assistant is more practical.
Although the voice assistant can perform some tasks according to the user's instructions and perform simple interaction, but because the working principle is relatively simple, it is nothing more than program correspondence (program response according to user instructions) and simple search (connecting search engine based on program correspondence), The lack of "learning" elements necessary for artificial intelligence, only interaction does not communicate. Of course, with the current hardware level of consumer products, it seems unrealistic to achieve the desired level of artificial intelligence.
Highly valued Apple Homepod
Do a good job of product experience before playing with conceptsIn fact, the voice control function itself is quite good, allowing users to free their hands, even if they don't catch the "artificial intelligence" selling point, they can make users satisfied. However, most of the products equipped with voice assistants represented by smart speakers on the market are often inferior.
The first is the problem of speech recognition accuracy. Although the Chinese language recognition technology is constantly improving, due to the relatively flexible grammar system of Chinese, the intelligent speaker is currently not flexible enough, especially for the understanding of long sentences and the recognition of accents in different places. According to the observation of this person, many smart speaker users use various "example sentence" instructions in "communication". However, even the response rate of the speaker is quite general, and the gap with foreign products such as Amazon Echo speakers is more obvious.
Secondly, it is a functional problem. At present, the function of the smart speaker is relatively simple. Basically, there is basically no other function except for playing the song and reading the news. A few brands will have some more personalized features, such as shopping, etc., but generally only search for the number one item for users, very tasteless. At the same time, the "voice pattern verification" used in shopping is very demanding because of technical problems, even if the user catches a cold, it will not be recognized.
At present, there are already branded smart speakers that can realize the functions of home electrical housekeepers. Some time ago, Xiaomi also released its own smart speaker products. In the official promotional video, the smart speakers can switch the smart products in the home according to the user's voice instructions, such as smart. Light bulbs, sweeping robots, smart TVs, and even rice cookers (of course, the meter still needs to be added and washed by the user). However, these products must be the same brand, and the requirements for users are a bit high.
The concept of artificial intelligence is very wide, so there are many kinds of artificial intelligence. We can divide artificial intelligence into the following three categories according to its strength.
Weak artificial intelligence: Expertise in one aspect of artificial intelligence. For example, there is artificial intelligence that can defeat the chess world champion, but it only plays chess. You have to ask how it can better store data on the hard disk. It doesn't know how to answer you.
Strong artificial intelligence: artificial intelligence at the human level. Strong artificial intelligence refers to the artificial intelligence that can be compared with human beings in all aspects. Human capable brain power can do it all. Creating strong artificial intelligence is much harder than creating weak artificial intelligence. “Intelligence†here refers to a broad mental ability to think, plan, solve problems, abstract thinking, understand complex ideas, learn quickly, and learn from experience.
Ultra-Artificial Intelligence: Oxford philosopher, well-known artificial intelligence thinker Nick Bostrom defines super-intelligence as "a lot more intelligent than the smartest human brain in almost all areas, including scientific innovation, general knowledge and social skills." Ultra-artificial intelligence can be better than humans in all aspects, or it can be more than a hundred million times stronger than humans.
From these definitions, human beings are making great progress in weak artificial intelligence. After all, even the "human last wisdom highland" of Go is being attacked, but this type of artificial intelligence is too single for consumer products. As for the strong artificial intelligence, although it looks "like" to the current smart speakers, it just looks like it. The current smart products are still a long way from the real strong artificial intelligence.
In general, most of the so-called AI products are variants of products equipped with voice assistants. There are still many gaps from real artificial intelligence. At the same time, due to cost considerations, the hardware specifications of these products are not very high, resulting in product experience. general. From this perspective, improving the performance of these products is much more important than the new name of the "AI".
