Baidu DuerOS is now using intelligent voice interaction to change the interaction between people and TV. . In the future, television can not only interact, but also understand users. Not only can you understand what you say, but you can know what you want before you speak. That is, only the concept of video streaming exists. This is true intelligence.

All of you Skyworth's partners, all the media's guests, everyone!

We are very happy to announce the strategic cooperation between Baidu and Skyworth today. Today is also a special day because tomorrow is the 60th anniversary of the birth of China’s first television. When he and Huang chatted with each other, he also said that this year was the 30th anniversary of Skyworth. 30 years ago, Skyworth started as a remote controller for televisions, and finally made a world-leading television manufacturer. At that time, the remote control was an innovation for the television set, liberating people. In the past, even when it was cold, everyone had to get up from bed at night and go to the TV to use a variety of buttons to change channels and adjust the volume. Later, with the remote control, people could lie in bed. I'm using TV.

In the past 30 years, the changes in technology have been very, very fast. For our Internet practitioners, we have experienced the PC Internet era and the mobile Internet era. Today, we have entered the era of artificial intelligence. In these eras, in fact, for the television product, I feel that it is not particularly much involved. But I also think that TV screen is actually a very important screen. The PC screen is very familiar to everyone. The mobile screen may be the most important screen for everyone's content consumption today, but moving the screen is too small after all. When you return home to sit on the couch or in bed, it's more comfortable to look at the big screen. Does this screen end with a remote control? I don't think so. Because of the Internet, it can become a screen that can interact in both directions. The main TVs we see today should all have such capabilities, but it should be said that this is still a product of the previous era. The so-called "previous era" is that it is still an Internet era product.

Today, human society is entering a new era, the era of artificial intelligence. The era of artificial intelligence is not only interactive, but it also requires more understanding of users. Before you give instructions, it should know what you want. This is true intelligence. This intelligent starting point should be such an interactive system that our DuerOS is trying to build today. Today our remote control may have more and more buttons, but fewer and fewer people can figure out what each button is for.

How do you make it easier for users to communicate with the TV? We think it is enough for users to communicate in natural language. He said that he wanted to see what Taiwan was going to go to. What he wanted to see was what kind of drama he was going to open. Even we can let it try to understand the content of these plays. He said that to see the episode of counting money in the name of the people, you would find that episode for him to play; he said what the actress on the left was called You have to tell him what the actress is called; he said that the male actor on the right, TV should know that this sentence is asking what the actor on the right is called. All of these technologies for natural language understanding are rapidly becoming mature and available. This is where we are very excited.

At the same time, I also think that in the future, television should not only understand people, but also must understand what people want before people speak. Today we turn on the TV and let people tell it that I look at this, I see that, what I want; tomorrow should be after I turn on the TV and may not have spoken yet it knows what I want to see, it gives What I recommend is what I want to see. There will be no concept of "Taiwan" and interaction in the future. There is only a concept of "video streaming." Whatever you want, it's already there.

This TV screen will have very big room for innovation in the future. At this point, we have found that the two parties’ concepts are very consistent in our cooperation and exchanges with Skyworth. This is the basis for everyone’s cooperation. I also believe that although this cooperation is superficially a tactical cooperation, I believe that this is very much in line with the development strategies of the two companies. It is precisely because of this, I think this cooperation will promote Baidu, Skyworth to a better direction. More importantly, it will promote the use of television throughout China, and even the world, to use this piece of screen that is historical, yet very valuable and very promising, so that people can better obtain what they want to obtain. The things that make people's lives better, let us understand our consumers better.
