Chapter 818 Demis Hassabis

Just like all the giant companies that have fallen in history, there will always be something that surprises the world, such as Nortel in Canada, Nokia in Finland, and Alstom in France.

However, what is interesting is that in this life, those companies that should have ended their lives have survived. Samsung, which should have lived well, has become an embarrassing existence in this era.

And all these changes are related to Meng Qian.

In early March, Samsung announced the discontinuation of Note7. This time, the discontinuation closed the door of Note7, and at the same time closed another invisible door.

Not long ago, Sony and Dafeng Group, which were still thinking about being Samsung's mobile phone battery suppliers, are not willing to be suppliers at the moment. The companies that said before that they would buy Samsung's LCD panel production line began to collectively slash prices and directly cut prices down. half.

In just over a month, the market's attitude towards Samsung has plummeted like Samsung's stock price, and the last straw that broke the camel's back finally appeared.

"Never underestimate the speed at which the market abandons a brand. When the wall falls, everyone pushes it, and the tree falls and the monkeys scatter." Meng Qian sent this sentence to the company's management in an internal email, using the fall of Samsung to alert everyone.

The Samsung Group stated that it would do its best to keep Samsung Electronics, and the Korean government also decided to allocate funds to Samsung after review.

Therefore, Samsung Electronics will not go bankrupt for a while. With the Samsung Group and the government of Korea, it may even never go bankrupt. But at this time, Samsung only has a market value of 300 yuan. But everyone in the world can see the difference.

"It's quite surprising. I always thought that Sony was the weakest in the competition among the three Asian countries for technology giants, but Samsung was the first to fall instead."

"Sony feels very smart. Knowing its own ability, it has been cooperating with the Dafeng Group, unlike Samsung, who is like a reckless man, but also openly challenged the Dafeng Group."

"Samsung is not a reckless man, Samsung's ally relationship with Omi is much stronger than Sony's. So far, Sony has not been able to win a large order from the American giant, and Samsung has already won several orders.

Moreover, Samsung has always been an ally in the development of semiconductors in the United States, and Sony is at best a partner.

Just look at how popular Samsung's products are selling in Omi.

I really didn't expect Samsung to be like this all of a sudden. I really thought that Samsung had the potential to become the next big wind group. "

"Maybe I still believe in the wrong teammates, but it is really hard to imagine that American technology companies will always be weaker than Chinese companies in the mobile market."

"I don't think Sony is very smart. It is the common point of the companies in the Neon country. Each of the three Asian countries has a dream of a big country. From the perspective of corporate performance, the companies in the Neon country have always been in opposition to the companies in the United States. At least They are a little more resistant than companies in Korea, and their competitive attitude is more obvious."

"After all, with such a history, the Neon Kingdom should understand the importance of self-reliance."

"The problem is that the overall performance of Neon Country Enterprises is not very good."

"The technology structure of the three countries in Asia has basically been set, and Huaxia is definitely the leader. Once Samsung falls to Korea, it is estimated that it will not be able to slow down in a short time. It will depend on the companies in Neon Country to do it later."

The public ate ​​melons for a while, and finally confirmed the ending of Samsung, and then talked about it for a while, and the attention of this matter passed. Everyone began to look forward to whether the technology market could bring new big melons.

Fortunately, the market has paid off. In mid-March, there was a thing that was on the hot searches in various countries.

Google's AlphaGo robot caused a sensation in the industry when it defeated world champion Lee Sedol 4-1 in a game of Go.

Naturally, Google will not miss such a hot topic. The global marketing will catch up immediately, eager to let everyone know the news. Experts from all walks of life began to dispatch to interpret the significance of AlphaGo. Most importantly, Google began to hype the new artificial intelligence competition The identity of the road leader.

And the market can't help but use Google to benchmark Dafeng Group. After all, the most leading industry in Dafeng Group is artificial intelligence.

AlphaGo was created by the Deepmind team, and the founder of Deepmind, Demis Hassabis, said in an interview, "AlphaGo and Deep Blue are not a concept at all. The chess battle between Deep Blue and Kasparov is actually a computer calculation. It was a test of ability. After the system obtained the rules of chess, it used the powerful computing power of the computer to compete with Kasparov. That was all. At that time, artificial intelligence was still in a very early state.

But AlphaGo's Go is completely different this time. First of all, the particularity of Go itself is very different from that of chess. It can be said that Go almost has no rules at all, and every step is a temporary decision based on the purpose.

And precisely because there are no rules, the action decision-making of the program itself cannot operate according to the established program, but requires more subjective performance.

Go is a very emotional game. Unlike chess, every piece has a value calculation. The shape of Go is quite emotional, and the judgment of good or bad is not the result of pure calculation. It is a milestone in itself to interpret human perceptual things through the huge computing power of computers and high-level artificial intelligence programs, and to improve them through self-learning of machines.

At the same time, the calculation volume of Go is far greater than that of chess. If the calculation power is only increased, even if it is increased by ten thousand times, it will only be a numerical change, not a qualitative change. The core difference between AlphaGo and Deep Blue is that it allows the computer to have the ability to think and achieve a qualitative change in computing power.

The data basis of AlphaGo is not the rules of the game of Go, but the chess moves of a large number of players. Through continuous integration and learning, the thinking of playing Go is mastered. This has some characteristics of human thinking, that is, it does not rely on presets, but on its own. learning summary.

AlphaGo finally defeated Mr. Li Shishi, which shows that artificial intelligence has reached a new height in the ability of autonomous learning, and realized the real quantitative change to qualitative change. "

Demis Hassabis’s high praise for AlphaGo made this man-machine war attract more attention, but what really ignited the enthusiasm of the people eating melons was the last sentence of Demis Hassabis in the interview, “Everyone said that in the In the field of artificial intelligence in this era, Meng Qian is currently the smartest artificial intelligence scientist on the planet, but I think Meng Qian just hired a group of very powerful people, and he himself is nothing more than that.

I believe that when people mention artificial intelligence in the future, the first team that comes to mind is our Deepmind team. "

"This is the buddy who rejected you." Xiao Boshi couldn't help teasing Meng Qian while watching the video circulating on the Internet.

Mr. Meng, as a reborn person and a master of artificial intelligence, naturally knows Deepmind and Demis Hassabis. Meng Qian went to dig up Demis Hassabis before Google, but was caught by the other party. After a meal, he failed to surrender.

"This buddy is very powerful and crazy. I heard that Deepmind has been operating independently since it was acquired by Google. Google doesn't interfere with the Deepmind team's affairs at all." Gu Junhui also found it interesting that the world was ridiculed, "It seems that Deepmind has signed a several-year agreement with Google. After the agreement expires, Deepmind can leave and stay as long as it wants."

"I was interested in the potential of Deepmind in medical treatment." Meng Qian glared at the two of them, "We don't lack a Deepmind team anyway. If we really want to say that the best artificial intelligence team in the world must be in our Dafeng Group .”

"But this buddy is mocking you so much, don't you plan to respond? Netizens on the Internet are shouting and fighting, and many people say let's have a robot war with them."

Meng Qian didn't care about the other party's provocation, "For an arrogant person, either you are crazier than him, or you ignore him."

"So you plan to ignore him?"

Meng Qian glanced at the calendar, "The interview about PA will be the day after tomorrow, let's settle the matter of PA Waterloo first."

Thanks for the reward of reading books to the moon! Thank you Dashan Dashan for your silly tip!
