Rebirth: Dominate The World, Starting From The School Network

Chapter 207 Li Yanhong Wants To Enter The Field Of Artificial Intelligence

Li Yanhong glanced at the directors present.

He continued: "Since the launch of Future Technology on Jisou Search in December last year, it has received a large amount of traffic support with the help of the 123 Navigation website."

"In half a year, Jisou Search has surpassed Yahu Search and Guge Search, becoming the second largest domestic search engine after our Qiandu, occupying 29.5% of the market share."

"Looking back at Qiandu, our market share has dropped from 45% at its peak to 30.3% today, a full 15% drop."

"And most of this 15% market share has been snatched away by Jisou Search."

"Nowadays, our number one position has become precarious. It won't be long before we may be replaced by Jisou Search.

Although this made Li Yanhong feel helpless, it was true.

"The decline of the goose factory sounded the alarm for me."

"A single pillar business is too dangerous for a company. If you are not careful, you may be eaten up by your opponents."

"This is not alarmist, Goose Factory is a lesson for us."

"Under the siege of Jisou Search, our market share of Qiandu has been continuously eroded."

"They have the powerful tool of 123 navigation website, which accounts for more than 70% of the traffic entrance of offline Internet cafes. It will be difficult for us to fight back Jisou's attack."

"Jisou is now like a frog boiled in warm water, eating away at our market share bit by bit. By the time we react, I'm afraid it will be our demise."

“But fortunately, the decline of Goose Factory has reminded us and sounded the alarm.

"We have to find a way to prevent this from happening."

All board members present nodded.

No one expected that the goose factory would suddenly decline rapidly.

The reason is inseparable from future technology.

Of course, the goose factory itself is the biggest reason.

If Goose Factory had not secretly intercepted users' private data, they would not have been caught and beaten to death with a stick.

But in any case, Gouchang was beaten to death with a stick because Gouchang's pillar business was too single, and there were too many competitors in the market, and their strength was no weaker than Goguang.

The combination of various factors eventually led to the rapid decline of the goose factory.

If future technology does not enter the search engine field, there is no need to be afraid of Qiandu.

But unfortunately, future technology has entered and is developing rapidly, second only to Qiandu.

This made Qiandu feel a little uneasy and very anxious.

Because Jisou's products are better than theirs, user experience is the first priority, and users will vote with their feet.

Thousand degrees is not irreplaceable.

Just like QQ, there are too many opponents that can be replaced.

"Here, let me share my thoughts."

"First, we need to find new pillar businesses."

“In this way, even if we are suppressed by Jisou in the future, we don’t have to worry about Qiandu being suppressed to death all at once.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"As for new pillar businesses, I found two."

"One is the game."

"The domestic game industry is still in its initial development stage, represented by Wangyi, Sohu, and Santa Clara University. After entering 2000, it became the main force in domestic online games."

"Wangyi's "Westward Journey" and "Legend" represented by Shengda Company have achieved unprecedented success in the domestic game market."

"This is enough to show that the prospects of the domestic game market are very huge."

“Taking advantage of the fact that the domestic game industry is only in its initial development stage, we should immediately enter a pit to lay out our plans.

"The second is the field of artificial intelligence."

"In my opinion, AI will be the mainstream in ten or twenty years, and we at Qiandu must also make an early layout."

As soon as the words fell, the directors present began to shout.

They can still understand it when they enter the gaming field.

But when it comes to entering the field of artificial intelligence, isn’t this a big step?

Artificial intelligence is not a new emerging discipline today, but it appeared as early as the 1950s.

So far, artificial intelligence has gone through five stages.

The first stage: the rise and neglect of artificial intelligence in the 1950s

After the concept of artificial intelligence was first proposed, a number of remarkable results have appeared one after another, such as machine theorem proof, checkers program, general problem solving program, LISP table processing language, etc.

However, due to the limited reasoning ability of the digestion method and the failure of machine translation, artificial intelligence has reached a low point.

The characteristics of this stage are: emphasis on problem-solving methods and ignoring the importance of knowledge.

The second stage: from the late 1960s to the 1970s, the emergence of expert systems brought a new upsurge in artificial intelligence research.

The research and development of expert systems such as DENDRAL chemical mass spectrometry analysis system, MYCIN disease diagnosis and treatment system, PROSPECTIOR prospecting system, and HearsayII speech understanding system have led artificial intelligence to practical use.

Moreover, the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence was established in 1969.

The third stage: In the 1980s, with the development of the fifth generation of computers, artificial intelligence developed greatly.

The island nation started the "Fifth Generation Computer Development Plan" in 1982, namely the "Knowledge Information Processing Computer System KIPS", with the purpose of making logical reasoning as fast as numerical calculations.

Although this plan ultimately failed, its development formed a wave of research on artificial intelligence.

The fourth stage: In the late 1980s, neural networks developed rapidly

In 1987, the United States held the first international conference on neural networks, announcing the birth of this new discipline.

Since then, various countries have gradually increased their investment in neural networks, and neural networks have developed rapidly.

The fifth stage: In the 1990s, a new research climax appeared in artificial intelligence

Due to the technological development of network technology, especially the international Internet, artificial intelligence has begun to shift from the research of single intelligent subjects to the research of distributed artificial intelligence based on the network environment.

Not only research on distributed problem solving based on the same goal, but also multi-objective problem solving on multiple intelligent agents, making artificial intelligence more practical.

In addition, due to the proposal of the Hopfield multi-layer neural network model, the research and application of artificial neural networks has flourished.

The Deep Blue computer developed by IBM even defeated the human world chess champion, demonstrating the superiority of artificial intelligence.

but.

Although artificial intelligence has gone through five stages, many research results have been produced.

But it is still in the early stages of development.

Moreover, the research of artificial intelligence requires a large amount of manpower and material resources, and the funds consumed are tens of billions of dollars.

Li Yanhong said that he wants to enter the field of artificial intelligence. Not to mention whether he has the strength, funding alone is a big problem. .
