What can Baidu's smart city bring to our lives?

What can artificial intelligence be used for? This question may be meaningless, because there are so many application scenarios of artificial intelligence, involving our lives, work, study and so on. In 2019, artificial intelligence was also written into my country's government report for the third time, which shows that artificial intelligence has penetrated into our daily lives.

Among the application scenarios of artificial intelligence, the largest and most complex one is the deployment of smart cities.

As the largest search engine in China, Baidu will naturally not miss the opportunities brought by artificial intelligence. At the Baidu City Conference held in Suzhou, Sun Wei, general manager of Baidu's Smart City Development Department, unveiled to us the strategic layout of Baidu's AI city.

AI helps urban construction

Baidu's AI city "ACE Plan" has drawn a blueprint for the future smart city. Baidu's AI technology and capabilities help build smart communities, smart medical care, smart transportation, smart parks and other urban construction for urban management, and provide new solutions for urban construction. At the same time, through the online "city business card", it can also provide public opinion management for the city and promote the city's image.

In addition, at this city conference, Baidu and the Wujiang District Government reached a cooperation agreement. The two parties will jointly use AI to empower urban governance and promote the intelligent upgrading of industries, and comprehensively promote the implementation and application of artificial intelligence in Wujiang. The cooperation between the two parties focuses on building the Wujiang Artificial Intelligence Demonstration Center, building an AI city empowerment center, and promoting the agglomeration of the artificial intelligence industry. The cooperation content will be fully developed around intelligent transportation and intelligent travel, and intelligent comprehensive urban governance.

AI empowers enterprise marketing

Enterprises are an important component of cities. Sun Wei mentioned that AI is not only changing people's living habits, but also empowering enterprises, providing a new channel for their future marketing. Baidu's AI capabilities can help enterprises understand the true intentions of users, and achieve accurate reach of "thousands of people with thousands of faces" and "thousands of people with thousands of states" through big data analysis. At the same time, Baidu Juping has laid out the offline digital advertising field, and can use the "online + offline" integrated marketing full link to effectively reach target users many times, thereby empowering enterprises and achieving a marketing effect of "product and effect integration".

However, the reporter from Yifei.com would like to mention the issue of privacy. When Baidu promoted the concept of "precision marketing", it did not mention the issue of privacy. Imagine that when you accidentally searched for an item on your mobile phone, some screens around you started playing advertisements for the corresponding item, which would disgust many users. Technological progress has indeed brought convenience to people, but while bringing convenience to people, it should also obtain the consent of users. Maybe domestic users are not so sensitive to the concept of privacy, but in foreign countries, this problem is particularly fatal.

AI helps industry upgrade

Baidu Brain is the core of Baidu AI. Sun Wei introduced that Baidu Brain is now open to enterprises and developers. It has integrated 171 technical capabilities and can be quickly integrated within 24 hours. Baidu also empowers partners from multiple dimensions such as ecology, technology, and data, solving many pain points of traditional manual models. Baidu's voice technology, visual technology, natural language processing, and knowledge graphs also help businesses solve problems, transform business data into business value, and make industrial services more efficient.
