We find that today’s basic necessities of life are no longer that simple. The changes brought about by technology can be seen everywhere in our lives. "The brain can be bigger, bigger, and bigger"... With the rapid development of the Internet, cloud computing, and big data technology, technological innovation is subverting our imagination of the future. The "2017 Hangzhou Compliance Conference" was held here On the Internet, a batch of cutting-edge artificial intelligence products were unveiled: "eat and go" restaurants, "grab and go" supermarkets, hotels where you can check in by "swiping your face", and where you can register, pay, and check with your mobile phone. Hospitals with test results... These "black technologies" are affecting our lives
——"Future Smart Restaurant": Refreshing our understanding of life
In Ant Financial's. In the exhibition area, a long queue formed in front of a restaurant. The reporter saw people coming and going in the restaurant, but there were no busy waiters. Customers could order food by waving gestures above the table, and they could leave directly after eating. When you go out, your mobile phone will automatically charge the money.
This is the very popular "future smart restaurant" at the exhibition. The relevant person in charge of Ant Financial said that the innovation of the "future smart restaurant" is not only enhanced. The dining experience has also upgraded the payment process: after confirming your identity at the store, you can put your phone away completely and leave directly after eating; the entire payment process is greatly shortened, which is a major change for offline payments in the future. This is also conducive to attracting traffic and reducing labor costs.
Not only that, at the venue, those "working hard" robots provided "coffee making" services to visitors. People say that robots bring a different dining experience to consumers. It is completely conceivable that in future restaurants, cute robots will deliver meals, pour Coke, and chat with consumers.
——"Face payment": the face becomes the "new password"
In another "Smart Retail" exhibition hall, many consumers are trying to "pay with face" to buy drinks: in the self-service "Scan" the beverage on the ordering machine to identify the product and displayed price; then enter the payment page, select the new option "Swipe your face to pay", and then perform face recognition; it will take about a second or two, and then enter the payment method with Alipay The mobile phone number bound to the account can be paid after confirmation. The payment process takes less than 10 seconds.
According to the on-site technician, face recognition technology is different from that used in entertainment applications. The standards are almost demanding, and the seemingly simple facial recognition payment has gone through years of development. It was only this year that it was finally no longer a "laboratory technology" and entered commercial pilots due to technological breakthroughs. In fact, the application of face recognition technology and Commercial use continues to enter the public eye: the first commercial pilot of "swiping face" payment was launched in a fast food restaurant in Hangzhou; some banks are trying the "swiping face" withdrawal function of ATMs...
At the exhibition hall , the smart hotel has also attracted a lot of attention. After checking into the hotel by "swiping her face", a female visitor can adjust the indoor lights, open and close the curtains, and intelligently control the room with a mobile phone app. She said: "I hope this kind of life scene will be available as soon as possible. arrival. ”
——“DNA alcohol test”: Smart medical care benefits both doctors and patients
Genetic testing may seem complicated, but in fact it is much simpler than imagined. In “Care Gene "In front of the exhibition hall, Ms. Wang from Shanghai only used a cotton swab to brush out the oral wall cells and completed the collection of genetic testing; one and a half hours later, she could check on her mobile phone to find out how much she drank.
Genetic testing brings new health management solutions to consumers. “The key to smart medical care being able to benefit the people lies in the application of cutting-edge technologies and innovative products in the current Internet technology revolution. "Alibaba Health CEO Wang Lei said.
In fact, artificial intelligence is becoming a good assistant to doctors and medical institutions. For example, a doctor who has undergone rigorous training and has many years of clinical experience needs to view an average of More than 200 CT scan pictures, the diagnosis time is more than 20 minutes.
The computer nodule detection system can quickly improve its diagnostic capabilities in a short time by learning from a large number of samples labeled by experienced doctors, and assist doctors in primary medical institutions to reduce misdiagnosis.
Hua Xiansheng, a machine vision scientist at Alibaba Cloud, said: "We hope to find sophisticated algorithms for early lung cancer diagnosis through artificial intelligence and implant them into the 'ET Medical Brain' (Editor's note: The artificial intelligence system launched by Alibaba ). Ultimately, we hope it can improve doctors’ work efficiency, improve detection accuracy, and save more lives.”
This Yunqi Conference attracted 450 technology companies and 50,000 people.
