Chapter 42: How Far Is Smart Manufacturing From Us? (Part 3)

"Artificial intelligence?"

Hearing Lin Xuan's talk about artificial intelligence, many technicians in the electronics industry or bosses in the electronics industry were dazzled, and they seemed to think of something.

The concept of artificial intelligence has been proposed for a long time, but few people have been able to explain it clearly.

At this time, when they heard about the Internet and then heard about the combination of artificial intelligence and production machines, they seemed to think of something.

Yes! When the production machine is connected to the Internet and the machine can be programmed in real time, it can be controlled remotely.

That through big data computing, that is, artificial intelligence computing control, wouldn't this allow artificial intelligence to control the operation of the machine?

As we all know, the degree of automation of many production equipment is actually very low, and it can only carry out repetitive and monotonous work, which requires the presence of workers.

But if the production equipment can be networked, and there is a magical artificial intelligence on the network that can control the equipment and the entire production line.

So what kind of scenario is this?

The role of human beings in this is infinitely reduced, and this is a future world that is extremely scary to think about!

And at this time, some people can already see that if the research and development is carried out regardless of the cost now, it is very close to achieving such a degree of time.

It can even be said that in a few years or ten years, if you really want to do it regardless of the cost, you can really achieve such a fully automated production line of the initial model!

As for the connection and transportation between commodities and commodities, that is, between production equipment assembly lines, it can be solved by handing over to industrial robots!

As long as the production equipment can be programmed in real time through the network, coupled with an artificial intelligence to supervise, adjust and correct in real time, then such a fully intelligent factory seems to be really possible.

All the people who think about this are terrified to think about it, and it seems that Industry 4.0 is very close to them!

Could it be that they have come to the eve of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and that their generation will have to endure the early pains of the Industrial Revolution?

Many people were silent, but there were not many people in the electronics industry, and there were actually not many people who thought of this, and most of the bosses were looking at Lin Xuan curiously at this time.

They don't know what the relationship between artificial intelligence and the Internet and production equipment is, and in this case, Lin Xuan also solved the puzzle:

"I believe many people know that artificial intelligence technology has begun to develop in recent years, and various new algorithms are constantly updated every year, and artificial intelligence has become more and more intelligent because of the introduction and application of new algorithms.

This situation continues, and then AI will become more and more specialized, and it is not surprising that there will be an industrial AI. ”

After a pause, Lin Xuan sighed and said:

"Once the factory controlled by artificial intelligence is born, then the world will inevitably see a round of industrial change.

A 24-hour sleepless production robot or a worker who needs five insurances and high wages, which is more preferred by the bosses? ”

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, many viewers in front of the TV were silent, and they felt a deep panic, which was the fear of being eliminated and unemployed!

Although their knowledge is limited, it is not known that they are very close to the time of enlightenment when the Fourth Industrial Revolution broke out, and they do not know that sixteen years later.

That is, in 2020, the country will be the flagship mobile phone, and the total number of employees in the mobile phone production line of the beautiful leg 40 will only be 14 people, and during the 15-year period, the mobile phone production line of the national flagship mobile phone will have 97 employees!

During this five-year period, with the rapid advancement of "smart factory" technology, those 83 people lost their jobs!

At this time, the audience in front of the TV did not know the future situation, but when they heard Lin Xuan's words at this time, they all felt a deep fear of the future......

Will they be obsolete by new technologies in the future?

So what should we do in such a situation? How should we prepare for the future industrial transformation, that is, Industry 4.0?

After all, there is really not much future for an ordinary unskilled worker, and the future factory will only have fewer and fewer employment opportunities for ordinary workers with the deep integration of machinery with the Internet.

In this case, for ordinary people, I have a few opinions and suggestions. ”

After a pause, looking at the elites and various bosses on the scene, looking at their frowning and serious expressions, Lin Xuan looked at the lens of the camera and gave his views and suggestions for ordinary people.

"For an ordinary person, I recommend that they enter or learn the knowledge of the three major industries.

The first is the mechanical and electrical engineering industry, although after entering the era of industry 4.0, labor can be greatly omitted, but the mechanical and electrical related industries will definitely never lack job opportunities, but will have more job opportunities.

After all, there are more machines, after all, whether it is the design of new machinery and equipment, repair and maintenance of machinery and equipment, these need talents in the electromechanical industry.

The second industry is the computer-related industry, in the future, the computer industry will definitely be the core of Industry 4.0, and in the recent era of the vigorous development of the Internet, learning to enter the computer industry is also the most profitable.

The third is the entertainment industry, in addition to film and television, music, novels and games, I won't talk about anything else, in the era of Industry 4.0, the entertainment industry alone can support the employment of a large number of people. ”

At this time, the old horse with a thoughtful expression in his eyes slowly asked:

"Lin Xuan, can you tell us what people's lives will be like after Industry 4.0 in the future?"

He is not interested in the Industry 4.0 in Lin Xuan's mouth, because he is not ready to enter the manufacturing industry.

And although he knows through the huge amount of knowledge that human beings are actually very close to the era of Industry 4.0, so what?!

He is engaged in the online shopping industry, and no matter how much the industrial industry changes, it has nothing to do with him, after all, the nature of the industry he is engaged in is just a "commodity intermediary".

As long as there is such a behavior as buying and selling, his Taobao company will never be revolutionized by Industry 4.0 with industrial change!

Tao Bao company will always be invincible, the only thing that can beat Tao Bao is other online shopping platforms!

So the question he is more concerned about is actually the question he raised about how ordinary people will live in the future.

After all, how ordinary people will live, this is really closely related to Tao Bao!

"That's what to say."

Lin Xuan put his hand to his chin, and then began to ponder the various news predictions he had heard in the past, and then slowly spoke:

"The future era may be called the era of big data, when computers will definitely flourish and computer computing power will definitely continue to improve.

When the production equipment in the factory is connected to the Internet, all kinds of electrical appliances in life will definitely be the first to connect to the Internet.

All the electronic devices and even furniture in people's homes will be connected to the Internet, and a mobile phone may be able to control the whole family's home appliances.
