Lu Qi: Baidu will change strategy and culture to create AI platform

April 29, Baidu artificial intelligence operating system DuerOS and Xiaoyu at home held a new product launch, Baidu Group President and Chief Operating Officer, Baidu Directors and Vice Chairman of the Board Lu Qi arrived at the scene and delivered a speech on the Baidu artificial intelligence strategy Explained.

Lu Qi stated that Baidu's overall artificial intelligence ecological layout is based on Baidu's brain. Baidu's brain is a set of core capabilities and core algorithms that incorporate various core competencies such as voice recognition, image recognition, video recognition, natural language processing, big data, and user portraits. Assembled together, empower entrepreneurs and innovators in the same industry.

Lu Qi also introduced that DuerOS is an important layout of Baidu's AI strategy and empowers participants through APIs and SDKs. DuerOS needs to find the scene in the early stage to build the platform. Therefore, the smart home is a very important and wide scene. In addition, DuerOS will also make overall layouts in more scenes such as cars.

The reporter learned that in promoting the DuerOS family scene, Xiao Yu was at home as an important cooperation case.

DuerOS is an artificial intelligence operating system developed by Baidu Duplex. In January of this year, the secret team released the artificial intelligence operating system DueerOS at CES in the US, and announced that it had reached a strategic cooperation with Xiaoyu at home. Xiaoyu launched a video intercom at home. The installer will carry this operating system.

On February 16th this year, the President of Baidu Group and COO Luqi issued a notice, announcing that they will upgrade the original secretarial team to the Department of Secret Service from now on and report directly to it, in order to speed up the layout of artificial intelligence and its productization and marketization. . After upgrading to the Department of Mystery, the scene of DueerOS is accelerating. In March alone, Baidu announced a number of cooperations with DuerOS.

In January, CES reached a strategic partnership. Yesterday, Baidu DuerOS and Xiao Yu jointly held a new product conference at home. The new video calling robot Baidu DuerOS launched a “fish”.

In yesterday’s speech, Lu Qi also elaborated on Baidu’s future development strategy. He said that for Baidu, based on AI from now to the future, it will gradually become a platform, not just a search engine company. It is a strategic and cultural change.

"In the overall layout of this artificial intelligence, the most important thing is the landing of the scene, the ultimate user experience, the right business model, and promote rapid iteration."

The following is a record of Lu Qi's speech:

Everyone knows that artificial intelligence is a very new wave of energy in the next era. The depth and breadth of the impact on society are unprecedented. This is a great opportunity.

From Baidu's perspective, our overall artificial intelligence ecological layout is based on Baidu's brain. Baidu's brain is a set of core capabilities and core algorithms. It includes speech recognition, image recognition, video recognition, natural language processing, big data, and user portraits. The core competencies are assembled together to empower entrepreneurs and innovators in the same industry.

We have Baidu's smart cloud. We call ABC Cloud - AI, Big Data, and Cloud. We connect Baidu's brain and Baidu's smart cloud to provide innovation. Based on such a setup, we also set up the brains of different industries for the industry, such as the financial brain with financial industry, as well as the brains of various industries such as autonomous driving brains and education, which are provided through our smart cloud. Give industry and other innovations.

The more important one is our DuerOS. In the age of artificial intelligence, the improvement of human-computer interaction is an overall improvement. Due to the advancement of artificial intelligence technology, we can for the first time ever allow natural language to become an all-round human-computer interaction interface. DuerOS is based on such an idea, to enhance the overall user experience platform.

iOS or Android is designed for finger and touch, and it has a very wide impact on the world. However, DuerOS will break through China and bring greater impact on the world's industries. Because DuerOS is ubiquitous, it can interact with anyone on any device, in any scenario, in any environment, and in any environment.

Based on this, our DuerOS is a brand-new, open platform, through the API, SDK, for each participant to empower and innovate together. The win-win situation of both parties is the focus of our strategy, because the age of artificial intelligence is an era of empowerment, (needs us) output capabilities, and win-win cooperation (with partners). And DuerOS needs to find a wide range of scenes to establish this platform in the early days. Smart home is a very important and very wide scene. Outside of the family scene, DuerOS will also make overall layouts in more scenes such as cars.

It can be said that we look at the entire computer industry. Microsoft is a great company, but his scene is in the office. Once you leave the office, this (use scenario) doesn't exist. But the family is different. The time we spend in the family means the enormous value of this scene. DuerOS thinks that the family is a very important point for us to empower the whole society and the entire industry.

This time, with the small fish at home, strategically speaking, "win-win" is what we attach great importance to. I must emphasize the concept of "win-win". For Baidu, Baidu is based on AI. Moving from now to the future, Baidu will gradually become a platform, not just a search engine company. This is a strategic and cultural change. The platform must be empowered and the platform must take partner success as our success. Therefore, the success of the small fish at home is our success. We work together and win-win to advance the entire industry. This is the overall layout of our entire Baidu artificial intelligence.

In conclusion, in the overall layout of this artificial intelligence, the most important thing is to place the scene, to maximize the user experience, to find the right business model, and to promote rapid iteration. Today's product launch event is a new milestone in a large sense. We worked closely with DuerOS at home through the small fish to make the family a huge scene and let AI fall. We work together, we quickly iterate together, we will certainly succeed together, thank you!
