Almost 90 percent of Chinese optimistic about AI application: survey
89.4 percent of respondents are
optimistic about the application of AI technology in the next five years. It is
the conclusion of a survey jointly launched by China Youth Daily and Megvii, a Beijing-based facial recognition
technology company.
The survey covers 2,006 people, 3.5
percent of whom work in the AI industry
The world’s first synthetic AI
anchorwoman took to the screen during the ongoing annual sessions of China’s
top political advisory body and top legislature, adding a new scenario for the
application of AI technology.
Among all surveyed respondents, people
are most familiar with automated driving, intelligent robots and smart home
devices when it comes to AI, accounting for 53.7, 53.4, 44.8 percent
respectively.
On top of these areas, smart medical
treatment, intelligent devices and AI education are also familiar application
scenarios. Like tap water, electricity and other basic facilities, artificial
intelligence is predicted to become commonplace in the future.
In the survey, 49.3 percent of
respondents said the job role of waiter or waitress was most likely to be
replaced by AI, followed by secretary (42.3 percent) and security (40.2
percent).
On the contrary, the occupation of
journalist came in as the least replaceable in the survey.
Li Linzi, founder of Whalehouse
Technology, a Shenzhen-based automated warehouse solution provider, said that
AI technology had improved its warehouse space utilization by six times while
reducing manual labor by 70 percent.
Guo Weimin, a spokesperson at the second
session of the 13th Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC),
said at a recent press conference that the CPPCC would further boost the
integration of AI with the real economy, as well as lift the overall
development of AI to a new level.
