The important point is, why do we need artificial intelligence? Because artificial intelligence is different from human thinking. For example, why should we let artificial intelligence drive? Because artificial intelligence will not be disturbed by the outside world, people may be suddenly distracted while driving, while artificial intelligence or autonomous driving will not.
Artificial intelligence has different cognitive ways and modes, and to a certain extent, it even surpasses the human way of thinking in a certain dimension. We need to make full use of this way of thinking. We can invent different AI and different modes to strengthen our perspective, so that we can better complete artificial intelligence, but it is difficult. It is difficult from the business model and technical point of view. The human brain is difficult to copy, and we can take two steps. The first step is to invent a new thinking mode-brain mode to help us solve these problems. The second step is to find a solution with this mode of thinking.
We need to change our way of thinking, which is more important than anything else.
The first industrial revolution brought the first liberation of manpower, and artificial intelligence brought another liberation of manpower. Many people are worried about whether there will be many jobs that don't need human beings in the future and whether artificial intelligence will replace human beings.
All jobs can actually be divided into different categories. Some working robots can do it, and some working robots can't. What we need to do is to redefine artificial intelligence, not to be replaced by it. We can hand over those high-efficiency and repetitive tasks to robots, while those low-efficiency and creative tasks are all done by us humans, such as interpersonal communication, art, scientific and technological inventions and other fields.
We can not only try to make artificial intelligence or robots work, but also try to integrate artificial intelligence with people. These two individuals have their own independent thinking, and integration is a strong alliance. So whether we can succeed in the future depends on how people and artificial intelligence can be seamlessly connected.
Trend 2: Interaction
"The Internet is moving from knowledge and information to more emphasis on experience."
I think the future technology will develop in another direction and become more and more interactive. Before the industrial revolution, we produced tables, but there was not much interaction between tables and us humans. In the future, our whole body, all postures and movements will be transformed into data, and we will interact with artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence can make corresponding responses by observing small movements, gestures, and even some micro-movements and micro-expressions on the face. In the future, we can communicate with machines with our own actions, and finally we will completely enter a virtual state, which is what we call virtual reality.
Therefore, I think the next platform for the widespread application of smart phones will be interactive "virtual reality".
Virtual reality also has two forms. One is similar to putting on gloves and glasses, which gives you another feeling. After wearing these, you will feel that you are in another time and space or environment. This is a very common virtual form, which can give people a way to experience virtual reality. The other is a hybrid remote video loading technology and virtual reality. When you wear these glasses, you can touch the virtual chair next to you, and you can move it away. This technology can give you an illusion-like feeling and take you to some places that humans can't reach, such as underwater or volcanoes.
Most importantly, we will gradually move away from the Internet full of knowledge or information, and gradually move towards an Internet full of experiences and paying more attention to experiences. The most important thing is not what you saw, but what you experienced.
The cost of all these technologies is falling, and the cost of all goods is falling, but there is only one exception, that is, experience. For example, finding a nanny for a child, or we need to see a play, the cost of this experience is rising. Now artificial intelligence or virtual reality is also experiencing virtualization, so I think in the future, virtual reality will be the most social media, and we can go out to play with friends and really share our experiences.
Trend 3: Use
"People are shifting from focusing on' ownership' to' right to use'.
We used to care about "having", but now we are more concerned about whether we can "use". For example, Uber is the largest taxi company in the world, but Uber doesn't have any taxis. Facebook is the largest social platform in the world, but it has no content.
Therefore, in modern society, "right to use" has been superior to "ownership". If you can use it anytime and anywhere, it will feel better than having it. For example, Didi allows us to call a car directly anytime and anywhere, without buying a car ourselves or even buying a house in the future, because there may be such a service provider to provide us with the space we need anytime and anywhere.
We have realized the transformation from products to services. In the past, we may be concerned about the product itself, but now we are more concerned about the services that can be provided behind the product, that is, the service economy. The future economy is an on-demand economy, and people need to reproduce. How to turn products into services, and then provide services for consumers? In fact, there are many opportunities around us for us to do similar thinking.
For example, subscription, as a member, may not sell you physical products, but sell the right to use them. If you buy a product, the product will be updated very quickly, but if you buy the right to use it, you can update it at any time. So we gradually turned our attention from "ownership" to "use right".
Trend 4: Sharing
"Coordination and cooperation and strong alliance make it possible for * * * to enjoy the economy."
What we used to say about sharing may be just the so-called sharing economy, sharing the right to use cars, or sharing things that are not personal, but what I want to say is that sharing is far more than that.
Although we are talking about * * * enjoying the economy, we are still in the very primary stage of * * * enjoying the economy, and the real sharing is far beyond the simple sharing we understand now.
In the future, everything we can imagine and share will be shared.
Therefore, the most important thing is cooperation. We need to coordinate all the tools and technologies to make them powerful.
Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia, and millions of people all over the world can be the authors of this encyclopedia. They can write many entries. This technology didn't exist at all 20 years ago, but now, this technology allows us to complete a huge online encyclopedia together, which gives us great power.
Trend 5: Mobility
"In a' mobile' society, learning ability is the core ability."
Mobility is the characteristic of this era, and data is fluid, such as news, music, movies, Facebook, Weibo, WeChat and so on. No matter what industry you are engaged in and what courses you have taken, you will eventually get a database and flowing data. No matter what you do, you must be aware of the key points, because all information will be tracked.
One way to make the world more mobile is that all our information will be tracked, but our decisions can be changed accordingly. Everything that can be tracked will be tracked, including various data streams and information streams. For example, some positioning systems can track where each customer is and what goods he will buy. We can also track the lifestyle and health status of the body through technology, including exercise, memory and blood pressure level. This information can be collected to make personalized and customized prescriptions and treatment plans.
The second is about privacy, that is, pairing, connection and coupling, which connects two different individuals in two directions, either transparent or fuzzy, or open or hidden.
The third is personalized design. Everyone is a member of society, but I hope my company and friends will treat me as a unique individual. For example, I have my own specialties and responsibilities, and the only way we can be regarded as personalized is transparency. I need to open myself to everyone, make public information, and let others give us personalized treatment. Most people want to be more personalized and unique, so they are willing to disclose their privacy. There is a saying in English that "privacy gives way to showing off", and our evolutionary direction is becoming more and more transparent.
Finally, in fact, no one knows whether these inventions are effective for future development. For example, when photography, telephone and other technologies were invented, we didn't know the benefits of these technologies. At first, we didn't know where this technology would be used. The only way is to use it. We need to interact with technology to find out its advantages and disadvantages.
We can fully understand these technologies through interaction, so we need to keep learning new technologies, no matter how old we are, so the ability to learn is the core ability in the future. In the process of learning new technologies, it is difficult for many people to forget the old things they have learned in the past.
What abilities do you need to be an innovative generation?
China is about to become a very innovative country, but it still lacks a culture. If China's next generation really wants to be an innovative generation, they must have the following abilities:
1, embrace the ability to fail.
In fact, failure is the core of innovative science and even art, and it is precisely because of constant failure that you can make progress.
2. The ability to ask questions.
Good questions are the greatest value of human beings, and asking questions is also the driving force of innovation, which is the part to be developed by the next generation in China. China needs to popularize a culture that can question authority, and sometimes it needs to do the opposite, question teachers and question some authority, so that the ability to question or ask questions can make our culture have innovative genes.
3. Be optimistic about the future.
In fact, real progress or reform is created by optimistic people, and every technology will bring problems, but these problems may be the source of progress.
What is the future like? Perhaps it is still difficult for us to believe in the use of driverless cars, or the ownership has turned to the right to use. It's hard to imagine that the future medicine is tailor-made medicine, or that we can see a lot of virtual reality through a pair of glasses.
But in the past decades, computers, chips and smart devices have become smaller and smaller. Twenty years ago, people would not have thought of such a change. We must believe that what is now considered impossible will definitely come true, because we can make the impossible come true through our own skills, strong cooperation, human thinking ability and robot thinking ability.
