"When will it become a reality?"

Repeating the other party's question in a low voice, Atletico asked with a smile: "Did Dr. Mo forget your mobile phone?"

With a high screen-to-body ratio, artificial intelligence, and fluid anti-drop system, Bee One has too many charming characteristics, and it attracted countless followers as soon as it was released, among which there is naturally the ageless Dr. Mo. The latter praised it and boasted about it, and even used it every day.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" the old man calmly admitted his gaffe, the old man touched his pocket, took out his mobile phone and shook it, "The artificial intelligence possessed by Bee One is indeed impressive, and every time I feel thoroughly understood, it can bring me new surprises." In particular, its notification management function is really powerful, and I am very satisfied. ”

"Thank you for the compliment," Atletico sincerely thanked, B1's overseas sales have been bullish, even if the iPhone 7 has not fallen off the chain, there are certainly reasons for the volume gap and dislocation competition, and the credit of this old gentleman cannot be ignored.

"Of course, it would be better if I could keep the headphone jack," Dr. Mo said as he looked at Ma Jing, and there was a resentment that he would learn from Apple if he didn't want to learn from him.

"The headphone jack will increase the complexity of the circuit, which is not good for expanding the screen-to-body ratio, and it is also inconsistent with the concept that Bee One is trying to convey," Atletico shook his head slightly, "Besides, you're used to it, aren't you?"

The other party shrugged helplessly, "Yes, I have been educated by you and Apple, and I have to learn to accept Bluetooth headsets." ”

"Haha, learning makes people progress. We have an old saying here: 'Live to be old, learn to be old', and Mr. Mossberg is a role model. ”

"No, no, no," the old American man shook his gray-haired head, "I'm not old at all, I'm still working hard." ”

"Well, work is self-forgetful and youthful. ”

"Hahaha," the old man smiled, turning back to the original question, "I was too excited just now to express the question clearly. What I'm actually trying to ask is, how long will it take for these technologies that you're showing to actually be brought to market, and is it related to the title of the exhibition, 'The Next 10 Years'?"

Hearing the other party's old words again, Atletico Madrid opened his mouth and replied: "This time is actually set by the 3GPP organization." ”

"I know them," the other said, "this international organization is developing and advancing 5G technology standards. That is, do you think the era of artificial intelligence will come with 5G?"

"Yes," Atletico nodded yes, "there is a general efficiency problem in artificial intelligence nowadays, and there is a great demand for computing power and storage space, and supercomputers are not indispensable for the time being." That's what you see in the exhibition, which actually runs on a dedicated fleet of supercomputers and then interacts with you over a high-speed network. Therefore, if you want to enter thousands of households, you need faster and cheaper wireless networks. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly turned his head to look at the audience and said loudly: "Therefore, you don't have to worry about AI becoming a puppet of Skynet, because ATNT, Verizon, NTT, Vodafone and China Mobile will not tolerate theft and arrears." ”

A lot of jokes lose their jokes when translated into a foreign language, but operator memes are clearly no longer on the list. Coupled with the familiar Skynet and Terminator terriers, Atletico Madrid's words were quite good, causing everyone in the audience to laugh out loud.

Dr. Mo also smiled heartily, and when everyone was quiet, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "But what if the Terminator chooses to rub the FI? AI has an advantage in guessing passwords, and you confirmed this." ”

People are very lazy, and the passwords they set are often closely related to their life experience, educational background, and social relationships, such as using the birthday of relatives and the mobile phone number of acquaintances as passwords. Based on this understanding, bee researchers tried to use deep learning technology to process the social worker database, which significantly improved the success rate of cracking the IFI code.

Due to legal issues, Bee simply published the results and did not further develop the relevant tools. However, it doesn't matter if those start-up companies or even black industry people do not lack password libraries, social worker databases, and various open-source AI platforms are also easy to find.

Hearing this, Atletico immediately explained: "We also regret this, and I think governments and legislatures should act to increase the crackdown on leaks and snooping on citizens' privacy." ”

In this way, the cost of data collection by competitors can be increased, so that Atletico Madrid can maintain and increase the value of the data purchased by spending a large amount of bitcoin out of their own pockets. Of course, it is good to hide this in the stomach, but it cannot be shown to anyone.

"Well, it seems to be a bit off-topic," after selling private goods, Atletico Madrid took the initiative to pull the conversation back, and said with a sense of fact: "Actually, there are two ways to deal with artificial intelligence, which have been tried and tested for a long time, that is, unplugging the network cable and turning off the FIFI." ”

Dr. Mo also smiled, "There is another way that you have forgotten, and finding artificial intelligence to fight on your behalf can also solve the problem!"

Atletico: "But that doesn't guarantee undefeated. ”

The audience also laughed when they heard this, they all participated in the report of the AI war that happened a few days ago, so they naturally knew it clearly.

It's quite interesting to say, during the National Day, the Bee Research Institute released its own chess AI, planning to take advantage of the holiday to level up on major online platforms to increase experience. The result is naturally that the killer is on his back and mourning all over the field, and even professional players and AI play online rapid chess is all kinds of abuse.

At first, they used the rules of the battle to play undefeated, and later managed to invite reinforcements, and logged in to Bee Go to summon the ultimate computer for the second brother to fight the eldest brother. There are bee AI on both sides, and the win rate is finally no longer one-sided, and it has also earned a lot of "wins".

Dr. Mo narrowed his eyes, "I've always wondered, who is more powerful between your bee brain and Google Deepmind?

"Naturally, this one is better, and we are just students following after them," Atletico said, but his expression was not as modest as his words.

In order to build the bee brain, Atletico read a large number of artificial intelligence papers, many of which came from the Deepmind team, and then were described by the do-gooders as students of the latter.

However, these people have forgotten that "science has no borders, technology has secrets", and they can only get ideas and ideas by reading papers and patent materials, and specific technical implementation methods still need to be purchased at a high price, and people can only spend manpower and material resources to research on their own if they do not sell them.

This is most obvious in the field of materials engineering, the fan blades of turbofan engines have pitted generations of engine designers, and even Atletico Madrid has almost been pitted, and the localization and miniaturization of Pony's engine have been stuck by materials for a long time. The work indicators of the little things are not too harsh, and in the end, they barely managed to keep the reputation of Dean Ma.

Of course, the IT field is Atletico's home field, and he has accumulated a lot of knowledge and experience, and he can really use the abilities granted by E7U to open up, which has made him famous in software and electronic engineering. As the de facto leader of the bee brain, he does have a reason to be proud.

Dr. Mo looked at someone's pride in his eyes, and said with a smile: "I still need to pull it out and compare, and when I return to the United States, I can help you contact Page and them, I think this AI competition should be very interesting." ”

Atletico nodded, "Go is still too esoteric, let's use the game, so that the audience will be more likely to get involved." ”

The old man complained: "It's more certain to win, isn't it? You were the first to use artificial intelligence to play NPCs and players, and the bee brain must be very good at playing games." ”

Atletico Madrid did not deny it, but once again threw out an old saying, "We have an old saying here called 'apply what you have learned', and research should be combined with application, so that we can get better and faster development." ”

"Speaking of research and applications," Dr. Mo said, "I noticed that the Bee-1 still uses the BH536 chip released at the beginning of the year, but adds a version that uses Qualcomm baseband, does this mean that there are difficulties in the development of new chips?"

"No," Atletico flatly denied, and then explained: "Beecore Semiconductor has limited manpower but unlimited interest, so it can't launch new products as frequently as Qualcomm and Samsung, and I think it's appropriate to come up with a main chip every year." Moreover, we believe that mobile phone chips have hit a performance bottleneck, and R&D resources should be appropriately transferred to other aspects. ”

"You mean the Moorish bottleneck?"

"No, it's the battery bottleneck," Atletico shook his head, "no matter how much performance improvement hardware manufacturers bring, it will soon be swallowed up by hungry mad dog-like applicators, and higher performance will inevitably bring trouble with heat and battery life." Before the new generation of batteries is really mature and commercialized, we only have lithium-ion batteries available, so the only way to solve this problem is wireless charging, enhanced fast charging, and increasing battery capacity. However, wireless charging is too slow and there are scenario limitations, fast charging and high-density batteries bring process and safety problems, the road is getting narrower and narrower, one day hardware manufacturers will have no way out, Samsung Note7The tragedy is a warning sign. ”

"So you're going to slow down and use the app store to constrain third-party developers and force them to do a good job of optimization?"

Atletico pointed to themselves, "It's not just them, it's us. Bees' own software and games also need to be sorted out and optimized, we were running too fast before, and we need to take a little slow to see the way. ”

Then he added, "We're not going to force them, and we hope that developers will put more computing in the cloud to reduce the burden on mobile phones." This can extend battery life, improve the experience, and give our AI chips more space. ”

"Ha!" Atletico's honesty caused the audience to laugh, and Dr. Mo also smiled and asked: "You just said that AI is inseparable from supercomputing, so isn't it meaningless to have a built-in AI chip in a mobile phone?"

The training and learning are carried out on the server, and then sent to the mobile phone to deal with the actual needs, which can help you save a lot of traffic and phone bills, and it will not be completely bricked in some occasions where the network cannot be connected. The Internet of Everything and unlimited traffic are just dreams and slogans, and we will always need to walk on two legs before they become reality. ”

"So the next generation of bee phones will focus more on AI performance while sacrificing some computing power?"

"Not exactly," Atletico denied: "The more powerful Bee Heart 537 chip has been taped out, and the new phone equipped with it is being tested in the final stages and is expected to be available to users around the world at CES." At the same time, we will also launch a new device with a focus on artificial intelligence, which I believe will bring surprises. ”

"Is it a smart speaker?"

Amazon's Echo has sold tens of millions of units, Google has just launched a similar GoogleHE, and he saw the same smart speaker in the exhibition downstairs, so Dr. Mo naturally thought of this product.

"Unfortunately, no. Bee has not accumulated much in the field of speakers, and now there are joint professional partners working on research, and it is still some way from the official launch," said Atletico Madrid: "Our new product is designed for those who are interested in personal Jarvis. It has strong performance and rich scalability, which can be turned into a smart butler, an aircraft pilot, or a good cook, all depending on the user's needs and creativity. ”

"Sounds good," Old Man Mo nodded, it sounded like this mysterious new product was for those geekers who didn't toss and were unhappy, and his interest suddenly faded a lot.

"Since you mentioned new phones," he said, "I wonder if you have tried curved screens or folding screens? I know that many manufacturers have tried this. ”

Curved screens are almost the same thing as curly screens and folding screens, all of which rely on the bendable characteristics of plastic substrate OLED screens. The former is milder, the screen only needs to be bent once, which is less difficult to implement, and the latter two are more violent, requiring the screen to withstand more than 100,000 times of bending and folding, which is more technically difficult, and the curved screen also has additional requirements for mobile phone circuits and battery design. Therefore, curved screen mobile phones have been sold for several years, but products equipped with the latter two screens are still in the concept stage.

Speaking of which, OLED manufacturers are helpless to vigorously develop curved folding flexible screens, LCD screens have too many advantages in color, life and cost, and firmly occupy the majority of the mobile phone market, forcing OLED manufacturers to take advantage of their strengths and avoid short corners to overtake, and painstakingly study flexible screen technology.

Since the beginning of this year, many manufacturers have come up with new mobile phones with rollable and foldable characteristics, and the industry generally expects a large wave of such mobile phones to be launched next year. However, the flexible screen is the shortcoming of the bees, unless they are willing to give up the butterfly screen. The latter relies on adjusting the air gap to change the color of the reflection, is extremely sensitive to thickness, and is inherently prone to curling and folding, and curved surfaces are also difficult to do, so they can only be replaced by approximate methods.

Thinking about the progress of their "butterfly curved", Atletico confirmed: "We do have a new curved screen phone, which should be ready to meet you soon." ”
