Liu Songlin, Vice President of iFlytek Consumer Business Group

Liu Songlin, vice president of iFLYTEK Consumer Business Group, demonstrated the application and development of AI technology to the guests, and introduced the products and future technology development trends of iFLYTEK. He mentioned that the Chinese are already a world leader in the field of artificial intelligence research. In the past year, more than 50% of the research papers in the field of artificial intelligence published and adopted by the Chinese have been adopted. When it comes to the commercial prospects of AI technology, he expressed great confidence: Last year, the global artificial intelligence field exceeded 5 billion yuan, which has exceeded 60% of 2015. At the same time as President Liu’s speech, a small AI robot named “Xunfei Hear” independently developed by the Chinese enterprise iFLYTEK is also working hard: It records Mr. Liu’s speech in real time and generates Chinese subtitles to project on the big screen. , At the same time, it also translates Chinese speech content synchronously and generates English subtitles, and can quickly correct the English translation according to the context. Such a small AI not only allows guests to experience the application and convenience of AI technology at close range for the first time, but also personally experience the intelligence of AI. Mr. Liu’s information-rich speech content and the on-site AI technology display made the guests deeply understand the role of new technology in promoting business development, and he was also proud of the high level and speed of China’s AI technology research and development. The guests felt that China has moved from “Made in China” to “Made in China”.
