Full of old-style houses, Wuzhen in Zhejiang
province has long been a tourist attraction. But a few days ago, this ancient town
was unusually full of people. It hosted the third annual World Internet Conference,
held between Nov 16 and 18.
Tech firm bosses, academics and government officials
went there to share their understanding of the event's theme—"Innovation-driven (创新驱动的) Internet Development
for the Benefit of All – Building a Community of Common Future in Cyberspace (网络空间)".
When it comes to innovation, many tech firms
in China are looking at artificial intelligence.
Baidu's latest development is based on AI technology.
It's called Baidu Brain, an artificial intelligence project that aims to greatly
improve computing by copying the way the human brain operates. It can be used to
tell which diseases patients have. According to a test at Peking University International
Hospital, 80 percent of its technology's diagnosis (诊断) results agree with the opinions of doctors.
Another tech giant, Alibaba, is also trying
to make use of AI.
During the conference, Alibaba's Ant Financial company showed off its
"Smile to Pay" technology. Registered (注册的) users can complete transactions
(交易) by simply having their face scanned by a computer screen
at the cashier's (收银员的) desk, without having to put in a PIN number or open
an app, according to China Radio International.
The Chinese market for AI technology is huge.
But Zhang Yaqin, president of Baidu, told Xinhua, "AI cannot do everything, but it will
certainly free people from repetitive jobs. Our ultimate (最终的) goal is to let people
do more creative and interesting things. "
