Tangtang, a virtual idol created by artificial intelligence, conquered countless fans overnight with its unique anthropomorphic performance.

Tangtang's game live broadcast has become the most watched live broadcast room, and there are often some anchors visiting the door, and even some professional players, celebrities, etc.

Tangtang is actually a bit rigid in terms of humanization, but the amount of knowledge she has, in fact, is a database, but it is inclusive, any profession, any industry knowledge she can answer here, although some deeper things, Tangtang can't understand for the time being, but general questions, she can easily give answers.

As Dianjin Group's artificial intelligence reputation grows, it will naturally attract more and more talents in this field to join it and jointly develop artificial intelligence technology.

This is exactly what Ye Qiu hopes to achieve, artificial intelligence is an extremely large proposition, which requires talents from all walks of life to work together, especially focusing on semantic analysis and biolife sciences.

Of course, if artificial intelligence really has the ability to think human-like, it is obviously impossible to do it in a short period of time.

And Ye Qiu also understood why the research and development of artificial intelligence has not been able to make great progress, in fact, the main reason is that the cost of researching artificial intelligence is too luxurious and huge.

Machinery and equipment is on the one hand, the most important cost is labor cost and experimental cost, any related program, need to go through countless experiments, and labor cost, for example, in the process of the research and development of artificial intelligence virtual idol sugar candy of Dianjin Group, the relevant personnel involved in research and development and planning, including linguists, biologists, physicists, etc. from all over the world, the total number of people is more than 1,000 people.

And there are countless technicians, and finally Tangtang has grown to a certain extent in semantic analysis.

The funds spent during this period are billions, and ordinary enterprises, even those capital giants, may have the strength, but they may not be willing to spend so much energy, financial and material resources to develop an unknown.

This is also why, Ye Qiu hopes that the artificial intelligence laboratory of Dianjin Group can carry out targeted research and development, first of all, the long-term goal remains the same, but the specific research and development direction is biased towards practicality, such as the previous artificial intelligence customer service, smart home, game intelligent NPC, game AI, artificial intelligence virtual idols and so on.

Because these projects can feed back the cost of artificial intelligence research, otherwise, even Ye Qiu may not dare to invest in artificial intelligence research like this.

AI translation is the next project in Dianjin Group's AI Lab.

In fact, when it comes to translation, there have long been products on the market with artificial intelligence translation machines, but in fact, the level is lackluster.

In many cases, the so-called artificial intelligence translation is often limited to some relatively simple translations, and the gap between it and human translation is still quite large.

In fact, the biggest problem involved here is semantic analysis.

The artificial intelligence of Dianjin Group can be said to be at the forefront of the world in terms of semantic analysis, and the virtual idol Tangtang is a relatively successful case, although it certainly cannot replace human translation, but it is much more powerful than most translation software.

Of course, AI certainly has a long way to go when it comes to speech translation, after all, it's not just about semantic analysis, it's about pronunciation accuracy.

It's impossible that what you say is inaccurate, it's not standard, and artificial intelligence can understand it, in that case, isn't it even more powerful than humans?

According to the planning of the project planning team of the Artificial Intelligence Research Laboratory of Dianjin Group, the artificial intelligence translation project of Dianjin Group will first be used on the Qidian Literature website of Dianjin Group.

There are too many written works on the Qidian Literature website, especially the number of Chinese works, and before that, Qidian Literature also wanted to promote domestic works to the world, but in fact, the cost was too high.

The cost here refers to the cost of translation, and at the same time, there is also a problem that there are too few translators, compared to the works that move millions of words, hundreds of thousands or millions of works, and it is simply not possible for human beings to translate all of them.

Therefore, for a long time, Qidian Literature has only launched the translation works of some more famous popular writers, even so, in fact, Qidian Literature is also a little weak.

After all, translation is not something that anyone can do, and translators are originally high-end language talents, and their costs are not low.

One of the practical features launched by the AI Lab that has been applied to the literary world is the broadcasting function.

At present, the virtual idol Tangtang launched by Dianjin Group has been able to simulate the tone of human pronunciation in some words and sentences, although it cannot be very accurate, but compared with the lifeless cookie-cutter machine pronunciation, it has made a qualitative leap.

Therefore, when this project was launched, it was very popular with the majority of authors and readers.

For authors, as an extension of their works, although the copyright of their audio works is often in their hands, in fact, the share they can share is almost negligible.

Because, although the work is yours, the workload of the announcers is actually greater, so most of the profits fall on these announcers.

Although this has created a new profession for society, announcers, in fact, only a small number of announcers are willing to produce audio.

And with artificial intelligence announcer, it is different, although artificial intelligence announcer in the quality of broadcasting can not be completely compared with those manual broadcast, but the workload, work speed, efficiency is the same is incomparable to manual work.

And although the AI announcer is not unpaid, at least in terms of profit sharing, most of the profits can be attributed to the author.

In fact, people have always had a contradictory idea about the birth of artificial intelligence.

That is, will the advent of artificial intelligence take away many jobs? Will it make more people unemployed?

The reason why this problem is contradictory is that although the physical application of artificial intelligence has solved a lot of convenience, it has indeed brought a great impact to the industry.

But then again, the industrial revolution, from human power to machine automation, seems to have also made many people unemployed, but in the continuous development of society, we can't always exclude artificial intelligence because of this concern, right?

In the continuous development of science and technology, nothing can be immutable, perhaps artificial intelligence will flood all walks of life in the future, but the original intention of artificial intelligence is to serve human beings.

So optimists believe that AI will only make the world better and better, and make people's lives better and better.
