Due to the introduction of Robin Li at the press conference, and because the real-time detection algorithm has become a very important income component of whiteness after docking with the government.

As a result, the Baidu employees of the Shanghai branch basically knew Meng Fanqi and his person.

Due to Wang Kai's smooth promotion in Changping District, Yanjing, government agencies have combined new technologies, intelligent office, and high efficiency have been regarded as a positive example.

A case that has aroused a certain amount of public opinion is handled at the speed of light, which is a great achievement for the people involved.

Therefore, when the relevant personnel talk about artificial intelligence technology, they are not stingy with praise.

The Ministry of Public Security even has a deputy ministerial-level person with real power who has praised AI technology in public.

Although it is not a very formal occasion for the conference, nor is it a stamped red-headed document, it is also quite heavy in terms of the usual cautious style of Chinese government officials.

As the second most important city in China, Shanghai has naturally become one of the first cities to pay attention to in the implementation of AI by Baidu.

At the same time that Meng Fanqi was reporting the results in Xini, the Shanghai branch of Baidu had already begun to try to contact the governments of various districts in Shanghai, and there was already some progress.

And some million-level small contracts like the Yanjing Hydrological Station have already won one or two.

If this trend continues, this year's bonus will also be increased by a few more months.

The source of all this comes from this excessively young college student in front of him.

The likes and dislikes of workers are so pure, no matter how strong you are, it's one thing, and everyone will laugh and tout.

But if you can give me an extra two months of bonus at the end of the year, it will be my relatives.

After two days of rapid development in whiteness, this group of people in the Shanghai branch insisted on having a meal.

Meng Fanqi looked around for a week, maybe he came too early, or maybe his former colleagues were in other branches.

I didn't see an acquaintance from my previous life.

I wanted to refuse, but I thought that there are not many people who have contacted the government about artificial intelligence projects, and it is not bad to ask them for advice.

Since the tertiary hospital in Shanghai City sent an email to himself, considering the current situation in the country, Meng Fanqi plans to open the company in Shanghai.

In this way, it is necessary to learn some of the experience of Baidu Shanghai.

The pomp and circumstance of this meal is not big, and the Baidu Shanghai branch does not say that everyone has to be there together.

Instead, each department drew one or two representatives, about ten or so, and found a barbecue restaurant to chat while roasting.

Baidu Shanghai Branch, a senior back-end engineer came to the software part, about thirty-three or four, Meng Fanqi didn't remember what he called when he was introduced just now, everyone called him Lao Li.

Another representative of the software department is a young engineer in the database and systems department, similar to Kai Wang, in his twenties. is named Jiang Mingxuan, and he forms a triumphant combination with Wang Kai.

Judging from the relationship and conversation between several people, Wang Kai was extremely familiar with them, which made Meng Fanqi feel a little strange.

After careful questioning, I learned that Wang Kai had been working in the Shanghai branch for a period of time, and then his salary was improved due to the establishment of the AI Deep Learning Research Institute in Yanjing.

And he has a relevant background, so he applied for the assessment internally, and then transferred to Yanjing.

Starting a business in Shanghai is killing two birds with one stone for him, no wonder he is so active after hearing that Meng Fanqi wants to set the company in Shanghai.

After chatting with the Baidu Shanghai team for a while, Meng Fanqi felt that Shanghai's overall attitude towards artificial intelligence was relatively flat and not positive enough.

From the perspective of entrepreneurship, between 2013 and 2016, Shanghai, or Huaguo as a whole, did not have strong support for the AI industry.

In the original timeline, Shanghai's change in the direction of the AI industry began in 2017.

Huaguo directly issued the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan" issued by the State Council, which clearly requires that by 2030, artificial intelligence should be [three steps], and encourage local governments to build artificial intelligence industrial clusters and innovation highlands.

As soon as the policy came out, Shanghai Hai's action was the fastest, responding at the speed of light, putting forward development goals, and introducing corresponding policies.

On the one hand, this is because the artificial intelligence industry is advancing by leaps and bounds, and on the other hand, it is also because in 2017, the Internet industry, which has been brilliant for more than ten years, tends to flatten out as a whole and begins to move towards stock.

From prosperity to decline, even Shanghai is facing the problem of industrial transformation.

"It's still too late in 2017, I have to think of a way to continue to use AI achievements to make some big news, and push the government to start paying attention to this aspect sooner." In this way, on the one hand, it is conducive to the competitiveness of the country in this regard, and on the other hand, there is much less resistance to starting a business.

Meng Fanqi has unconsciously made the real-time detection algorithm cooperate with the Yanjing local government.

And let the public security ministry and commission-level bigwigs pay attention to artificial intelligence technology.

However, this kind of image detection and analysis is somewhat similar to the original traditional image processing method, and Meng Fanqi is not sure whether a layman can distinguish the difference.

Moreover, this is far from enough for the country to formulate relevant AI industry development strategies a few years in advance.

"Real-time detection is already the first step, but this aspect alone is not enough. What I need is the kind that can sink to everyone, have a wide reach, and have a high level of popularity. It's best to keep up with this trend on mobile. ”

Meng Fanqi pondered this question while chatting with Baidu's staff.

During the conversation, they frequently talked about the market share of some mobile apps, and joked that Baidu was really an App's acquisition of the dark lamp.

No matter how popular the App is, as long as the whiteness is acquired, it will be cool in a few months or a year.

Don't talk about small apps, let's just say that 91 they are talking about at this time, which is also an invincible big deal.

This 91 is not a strange 91, but a 91 mobile assistant.

Just a month or two before Meng Fanqi first contacted Li Yanhong, Baidu bought 91 mobile phone assistant for a sky-high price of 1.9 billion US dollars.

However, within two or three years, with the progress of Apple's own platform, major mobile phone manufacturers have also launched their own platforms.

The 91 assistant was quickly cool, the 91 Apple assistant stopped updating in 17 years, and the Android channel was directly offline in 20 years.

But that's a later story, and now the 91 assistant that has just been acquired at a sky-high price is in full swing, with more than 10 billion cumulative app downloads.

On average, there are close to ten downloads per person.

"Maybe the first product I should make should be a popular app, not a paper or a technology." Meng Fanqi reflected on his ideological immaturity.

After returning from rebirth, in order to obtain initial capital, he spent most of the year immersed himself in writing code, doing experiments, and preparing papers.

This caused him to develop a bad thinking inertia.

Perhaps this method of paper + technology division can have some fame and status in the academic world, but it must really be known to everyone, and technology can enter the homes of ordinary people.

The final form is to make a product that everyone can use, like ChatGPT.

Meng Fanqi thought about it carefully, maybe an app that edited expressions and the age of the characters would be of great benefit to him at this point in time.
