But the human child doesn’t study to acknowledge a cat this fashion. The infants, they exit, see a cat or two, after which they know what a cat appears like. They do not want one million coaching samples, they solely want one or two. So that is very completely different. So they do not want large knowledge to study. Instead, small knowledge is adequate. So this is likely one of the large challenges that must be addressed for AI to achieve the subsequent degree. So one potential route is to maneuver from right this moment’s data-driven AI to future hybrid AI the place it integrates each the data-driven and knowledge-driven collectively. So that is my ideas about AI’s future.
Laurel: No, that is superb. It’s additionally actually fascinating to listen to about AI in manufacturing in manufacturing after which this concept of studying AI, and such as you mentioned, a child does not study what a cat is. And there’s clearly a lot in between every of these concepts. I believe significantly this idea is so advanced and once we take into consideration how AI is now altering and type of evolving into this factor, we’re now calling the economic metaverse, proper? Which is a mix of these digital and real-world capabilities. This is not science fiction anymore, that is truly taking place. So what are a few of these examples of prolonged actuality or XR that we’d see in these subsequent few years?
Yong: That’s appropriate, Laurel. Actually, I believe the fact is right here, and with that mentioned, the metaverse itself continues to be in its early stage of improvement. And completely different individuals have completely different definitions of what the metaverse is. From Lenovo’s perspective, the metaverse is a hybrid of bodily and digital worlds the place individuals and objects join and work together with one another. And the XR gadgets, together with AR, VR, MR are the important thing human machine interface of and the portal to, the metaverse, with the mixed and strengthened data from each phrases, the bodily and the digital. In the metaverse, we will present customers with extra immersive and interactive experiences and resolve business challenges with increased effectivity and decrease value. So let me present you an instance. So let’s take the electrical energy business, for instance. Historically, the inspection of energy station tools has been time-consuming and typically, as you’ll be able to think about, harmful. Besides, human staff could make errors inflicting energy outages and different accidents.
As such, these duties can incur excessive value for energy firms. But now with the brand new metaverse applied sciences, we’ve the chance to rework this business right into a safer and extra environment friendly business. The secret is to construct a metaverse that connects the digital and the bodily. And we truly thought of this quite a bit, and we concluded there are 3 ways to attain this. The 3 ways are bodily digital mapping, bodily digital superimposition, and bodily digital interactivity. Again, let me use the electrical energy business instance for example this. First, the bodily digital mapping signifies that we have to construct a digital model of the bodily energy station, which we discuss with because the “meta-space.” Actually, two months in the past we simply completed our Tech World [conference]. I’ve a reasonably detailed description about this meta-space. I most likely will not have time to go over that right this moment with you, however for these within the viewers who’ve curiosity, I’d refer them to the Lenovo Tech World 2022 that occurred in October.
They can have a extra detailed situation there. And then after this bodily digital mapping then comes the bodily digital superimposition, which implies we overlay the digital data onto actual objects by, for example, AR glasses. This truly will considerably increase the capabilities of human staff, permitting them to examine the standing and determine extra features quicker and carry out upkeep duties extra effectively. And thirdly, the human staff will not be in a position to cowl each nook of the facility station, particularly these hazardous areas that poses dangers to well being and life.
In that case, human staff can ship a bodily robotic to do the job of their place, they’ll plan a path for the robotic within the digital energy station. Then the robotic can transfer within the bodily energy station and carry out the inspection activity, together with recognizing tools readings, detecting irregular warmth and monitoring tools standing within the energy station. And the third approach, once more, we name it the bodily digital interactivity. So these are the 3 ways we expect that we join the digital and bodily world. And in fact, above, I used the facility station inspection for example for example the metaverse, however these applied sciences actually can create enormous alternatives throughout many different industries.
Laurel: You can actually think about that instance in healthcare simply being completely business altering, when you have been in a position to. Yeah, that is actually fairly astounding. And I believe it is a good distinction to essentially outline for folk what the economic metaverse may deliver us with this means, with the XR applied sciences, to do issues that have not been finished earlier than with that good mix between what’s digital after which that bodily world. So talking of that bodily world, how will adoption of applied sciences like these that we have been speaking about right this moment assist sustainability and enterprise social and governance or ESG objectives? And what are Lenovo’s personal sustainability objectives? Because as you talked about, these monumental factories creating numerous laptops, one out of each eight on the earth, that is fairly a problem for Lenovo as effectively.
Yong: Laurel, thanks for asking this query. I believe for any know-how innovation, we must be accountable too. And you simply talked about the large manufacturing facility LCFC, proper? Imagine if we will save 5% of electrical energy energy, that is going to save lots of loads of carbon emission. That can cut back loads of carbon emission. That’s undoubtedly one thing we’re very dedicated to and we’re very critically engaged on. So total, Lenovo is dedicated to attain a sustainable development by serving to decarbonize the worldwide financial system.
