However the human child doesn’t be taught to acknowledge a cat this manner. The infants, they exit, see a cat or two, after which they know what a cat seems like. They do not want 1,000,000 coaching samples, they solely want one or two. In order that’s very totally different. So they do not want huge knowledge to be taught. As an alternative, small knowledge is enough. So this is among the huge challenges that must be addressed for AI to achieve the following degree. So one doable route is to maneuver from in the present day’s data-driven AI to future hybrid AI the place it integrates each the data-driven and knowledge-driven collectively. In order that’s my ideas about AI’s future.
Laurel: No, that is wonderful. It is also actually attention-grabbing to listen to about AI in manufacturing in manufacturing after which this concept of studying AI, and such as you stated, a child would not be taught what a cat is. And there is clearly a lot in between every of these concepts. I believe notably this idea is so complicated and once we take into consideration how AI is now altering and sort of evolving into this factor, we’re now calling the commercial metaverse, proper? Which is a mix of these digital and real-world capabilities. This is not science fiction anymore, that is truly occurring. So what are a few of these examples of prolonged actuality or XR that we’d see in these subsequent few years?
Yong: That is appropriate, Laurel. Truly, I believe the truth is right here, and with that stated, the metaverse itself remains to be in its early stage of growth. And totally different individuals have totally 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. Within the metaverse, we are able to present customers with extra immersive and interactive experiences and resolve trade challenges with larger effectivity and decrease value. So let me present you an instance. So let’s take the electrical energy trade, for instance. Traditionally, the inspection of energy station gear has been time-consuming and generally, as you possibly can think about, harmful. Apart from, human staff could make errors inflicting energy outages and different accidents.
As such, these duties can incur excessive value for energy corporations. However now with the brand new metaverse applied sciences, we now have the likelihood to rework this trade right into a safer and extra environment friendly trade. The hot button is to construct a metaverse that connects the digital and the bodily. And we truly considered this rather a lot, and we concluded there are 3 ways to attain this. The 3 ways are bodily digital mapping, bodily digital superimposition, and bodily digital interactivity. Once more, let me use the electrical energy trade instance as an instance this. First, the bodily digital mapping signifies that we have to construct a digital model of the bodily energy station, which we confer with because the “meta-space.” Truly, two months in the past we simply completed our Tech World [conference]. I’ve a reasonably detailed description about this meta-space. I in all probability will not have time to go over that in the present day 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 will have a extra detailed situation there. After which 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 are usually not in a position to cowl each nook of the ability 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 will 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 gear readings, detecting irregular warmth and monitoring gear 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 predict that we join the digital and bodily world. And naturally, above, I used the ability station inspection for instance as an instance the metaverse, however these applied sciences actually can create big alternatives throughout many different industries.
Laurel: You possibly can actually think about that instance in healthcare simply being completely trade altering, for those who 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 commercial metaverse may convey us with this capability, with the XR applied sciences, to do issues that have not been performed 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 in the present day assist sustainability and enterprise social and governance or ESG targets? And what are Lenovo’s personal sustainability targets? As a result of as you talked about, these huge factories creating a lot of laptops, one out of each eight on the planet, that is fairly a problem for Lenovo as properly.
Yong: Laurel, thanks for asking this query. I believe for any know-how innovation, we ought to be accountable too. And also you simply talked about the large manufacturing unit LCFC, proper? Think about if we are able to save 5% of electrical energy energy, that is going to save lots of numerous carbon emission. That may scale back numerous carbon emission. That is undoubtedly one thing we’re very dedicated to and we’re very critically engaged on. So total, Lenovo is dedicated to attain a sustainable progress by serving to decarbonize the worldwide financial system.
