The future has come, what kind of experience will life be in the smart age?

When pushing this article, in Wuzhen, Zhejiang, the second game of the Go and Man Machine War is underway. In the first game of Go Man-machine Wars 2.0, the two sides clashed to the 286th hand, and the black Ke Jie lost to the Go AI program AlphaGo with a slight disadvantage of about a quarter. The power of artificial intelligence in every aspect of the Go game will become the focus of attention.

During the two sessions this year, artificial intelligence was also a hot word, which appeared frequently in the proposals and conversations of the deputies, and appeared in the government work report. Driverless cars have been reported many times, and at the recently closed China Appliances and Consumer Electronics Show (AWE), smart home appliances have also become the most dazzling stars, and many companies have released the latest smart home appliances.

Artificial intelligence has become a technology that affects almost all industries. Even Wall Street investment banks have to use robots instead of traders. Media writing must also be operated by robots. In the future, artificial intelligence will affect us everywhere.

Human beings have experienced three industrial revolutions in the steam age, the electrical age, and the information age. Technological advances have once again pushed human productivity to new heights. At present, the economies of various countries seem to have fallen into a downturn cycle, and a new technological revolution is urgently needed. In fact, this revolution has been quietly happening, and it has begun to sprout in some industries. The next big industrial revolution, artificial intelligence technology will become Indispensable part.

Many people have seen such a short video, showing the scene where the screen is ubiquitous in the future. When the owner is awake, the relevant weather forecast and other information will appear on the wall of the bathroom. The owner is ready to go out and the car will automatically come over. Waiting, there is a screen projected in the car for people to view information to handle some things. In the office, the screen projects the design drawings and discusses them with colleagues at any time.

As a manufacturing technician in the manufacturing industry, I also feel the impact of smart technology on products and factory manufacturing. At present, smart technology is still in the early stage of development, but this trend of development will surely surprise us. Most people in China love to look back and don't like to think about the future. For example, the film and TV drama we filmed is also a historical drama court. It is better to try to imagine the life scene of the future intelligent age.

Scene 1 Smart Home

Bill Gates's mansion was an intelligent building more than 20 years ago, enabling many automatic functions. But for ordinary people, the realization of smart home still takes time.

Although some smart home appliances have already implemented some intelligent functions, such as remote control, automatic reminder, etc., they are currently unable to achieve relatively advanced intelligence due to factors such as the level of technology development and module cost.

For example, the current smart refrigerators generally can implement some functions such as food expiration reminder, remote control, entertainment, online shopping, etc., but these functions also require the user to control. For example, the most basic food expiration reminder requires the user to input time, which is realized by countdown. It is not the true sense of infrared monitoring food freshness.

Online shopping is also the same as online shopping for computers and mobile phones. It does not automatically judge what food is missing, and automatically place an order to purchase. This requires establishing an association with the online fresh supermarket and building it synchronously.

So what should be the real smart home in the future? I think it should be a highly automated intelligence. Before you get home from work, the air conditioner receives information and turns it on in advance (this is now possible). When entering the door, the detector senses that the owner is at home, automatically turns on the lights, and automatically turns off the lights and curtains when going to sleep. The food placed in the refrigerator is automatically recognized, and the freshness is automatically monitored and reminded that the washing machine will automatically recognize the material and weight of the laundry, and then automatically set a suitable program for washing.

Some household appliances, monitoring equipment, lighting equipment, curtains, etc. required for smart homes have become terminals in an organically connected system. Industrial robots are now used in many factories, but home robots can only be seen in exhibitions. In the future smart home, a home robot that can imitate human movements is indispensable. In this way, robots can replace humans to pick up and place things and operate electrical appliances. Then all the housework of people can be done by robots.

Such a smart home system is completely a personal full-service system. People only need to issue instructions, and others are handed over to robots and smart home appliances.

Scene 2 Intelligent Transportation

At present, China has more than 200 million vehicles, and the logistics cost alone exceeds 10 trillion yuan per year. Many cities have limited numbers because of too many vehicles. At present, many companies are doing auto-driving cars, which is a very important development direction.

In this year's two conferences, Li Yanhong's proposal on artificial intelligence mentioned a smart signal light, which is adjusted according to the size of the traffic flow. But I think that the real intelligent traffic should be the traffic that eliminates the signal lights and even does not need to build a viaduct. Even on mutually intersecting roads, various self-driving vehicles can be exercised without affecting each other, relying on pre-calculated driving routes and driving speeds.

For example, at the intersection of east-west and north-south directions, the cars in all directions are fully normal, and the east-west car passes through the gap between the two cars in the north-south direction and does not collide, and vice versa. All adjacent cars send communication signals to each other. The intersection only needs to set the controller to send the route and speed information to the vehicle, and does not need any traffic lights. All road condition information and parking information can be uniformly dispatched to maximize the use of road resources and parking resources.

The current shared bicycles are developing very fast. In the future, under the influence of the sharing economy, the auto-driving cars will also be shared. As long as the passenger information is calculated, it can be completely unloaded and bring different passengers to different locations all the way. In this way, the car can have more time to drive in a day, instead of 96% of the current majority of private cars (this data can not be verified to the data, hereby explained) time to stop there, resulting in waste of resources.

People need cars only because of the "row" demand, then if you can get to the destination smoothly through intelligent transportation, there is no need for everyone to own the car, and the travel service industry enters the real era of sharing economy, and this will be greatly Reducing the amount of car used, while also reducing energy consumption, for the entire society, while the efficiency is increased while the consumption is reduced, the car exhaust emissions will be greatly reduced, which is undoubtedly a very large welfare promotion.

Scene 3 Smart City

IBM proposed this concept as early as 2010. This is a bigger intelligent project that requires more intelligent infrastructure. In terms of aspects related to the lives of ordinary people, smart cities also include intelligent transportation. E-government is intelligent, so people don't have to go everywhere to do things. Intelligent e-government can let citizens solve problems at home.

Above the city roads, the walls of the buildings, etc. are covered with solar panels, which absorb solar energy to generate energy in the hot summer. The snow-free icing weather automatically starts the road anti-skid system, and the vehicle is unimpeded. The energy downstream of the elevator is also converted into electrical energy storage, saving a lot of energy. Supermarket shopping is unattended and only requires scanning for payment.

Virtual reality technology enables people to realize remote conferences, greatly reducing the cost of travel, and people's purpose of going to the field has become tourism. Go to the hospital to seek medical treatment to achieve intelligence, get the doctor's time and the patient's time in advance, and achieve reasonable arrangements. By eliminating all waiting time, the quality of life will be greatly improved. The intelligent monitoring and big data system in the city can realize the timely handling of emergencies and prevent the occurrence of fires, crimes and other events in advance.

Scene 4 Smart Medical

Intelligent technology for people's own health is an extremely important area in the future. At present, although we rely on technical means to treat many diseases, we are constantly developing new drugs, but human diseases have not been reduced. Many diseases have not been completely cured so far.

The development of future medical care will include the elements of nano-robots. Humans can produce universal nano-robots for medical use. Each robot has a nanometer size. It is controlled by a computer through wireless signals. When the lesions in the human body are diagnosed, By oral administration into the human body, through the blood circulation system to reach the lesion, by directly killing the pathogenic bacteria, viruses, cancer cells to achieve the purpose of curing the disease, this is almost no physical therapy without any side effects.

Nano-robots can also correct tissue abnormalities in the human body, allowing the body to return to a normal state.

The above intelligent scenes basically cover all the needs of human beings living on the earth. Various robots in the intelligent era replace a lot of human labor, and the advancement of technology can simultaneously solve the air and water that are currently difficult to solve. The problem of soil pollution, when people get it will also be a green, green, and more environmentally friendly earth.·····

In March 18, a sci-fi movie "Ready Player one" directed by Spielberg will be released. The film is based on the very famous science fiction novel (author Ernest Cline) in Silicon Valley. It is the environmental destruction that makes humans quite annoyed. The game company “Oasis” uses the perfect combination of virtual reality technology and online games to provide people with a safe harbor. But the widow of the founder of Oasis brought a huge storm to this last paradise.

Perhaps this will refract a problem in reality, that is, in the era of intelligence, what will humans face in addition to life upgrading? The first question is probably "unemployed"?

First and foremost is my manufacturing industry? For example, many factories in coastal areas such as Zhejiang have already realized the automation of robots on the assembly line. Previously, we have seen that in Tesla, the world’s most intelligent and fully automated production workshop, from raw material processing to finished product assembly, the whole The production process is highly automated and intelligent, and the robots can be seamlessly connected between different processes, eliminating the need for human intervention.

So another problem will come. When the world is more and more replaced by artificial intelligence, new jobs will not be produced except for robots. What do humans do? Is it only responsible for playing? ······
