In March of this year, Google AlphaGO defeated Li Shishi's nine paragraphs and once again pulled artificial intelligence (AI) into people's eyes. For the future development of artificial intelligence, Klaus Schwab, in his book The Fourth Industrial Revolution, believes that its future tipping point will be the first artificial intelligence machine to join the company's board of directors, and that 30% of corporate audits will be Artificial intelligence is completed, at least 45% of respondents believe that the tipping point will come before 2025.
Klaus Schwab believes that artificial intelligence will replace many tasks that are currently required to be completed manually in the future. The report pointed out that if Moore's Law can continue to maintain the pace of development over the past 30 years, then by 2025, the CPU in the computer will have the same information processing capabilities as the human brain. And capital is also involving this technological revolution from all sides.
Billion Blue Ocean
According to Tractica's forecast data, global artificial intelligence revenue is expected to reach 644.7 million U.S. dollars in 2016, and will increase to 36.8 billion U.S. dollars by 2025.
According to iResearch's forecasted data, the market size of artificial intelligence in China in 2015 was approximately RMB 1.2 billion, of which voice recognition and visual recognition accounted for approximately 60% and 12.5% ​​respectively, and other accounts for approximately 27.5%. It is expected that by 2020, the Chinese AI market will reach RMB 9.1 billion.

From the perspective of the industry chain, the current artificial intelligence industry chain can be simply divided into three levels, namely, the underlying base layer, the middle layer technology layer and the upper application layer.
The base layer includes hardware storage, computing resources, and data resources. GPU chips, cloud computing platforms, sensors, and data are all included in this layer. The technology layer includes algorithms, model platforms, perceptual intelligence algorithms, and cognitive intelligence algorithms. All are listed here; the application layer contains hardware products and software and services. The hardware includes drones, robots, and other intelligent hardware. The software and services include voice input method, virtual assistant, automatic driving, and intelligent security.
