Digital Kingdom

#407-Chapter 407

The D1 product, which makes blind people see the light again, went on sale in the United States on August 25.

Although it is very low-key and not much publicity, thanks to the recent influence of the Digital Group, it has attracted a lot of Google.

Obtaining Fda's approval is equivalent to opening the entire EU market, and the Digital Group naturally chooses to sell simultaneously in the two places.

Relying on the channels of Magic Mirror, D1 is spreading across North America and Europe.

After curiosity, it is naturally word-of-mouth, digital production, must be a boutique.

Because of the D1's ultra-high definition, it detonated the entire market within three days of its launch.

Although the price is as high as eight thousand dollars, it can't resist people's enthusiasm.

All kinds of praises such as "greatness", "unbelievable", "gift from God", etc., are overwhelming and overwhelming.

Ten thousand D1s were announced in less than a week.

The U.S. Department of Defense has also added hundreds of millions of dollars in orders, hoping to use D1 to help American soldiers who have lost their sight due to the war.

Compared with other technologies that help blind people improve their lives, such as retinal transplantation and optic nerve transplantation, the cost of US$100,000 plus surgery costs of US$40,000 to US$50,000 (equivalent to RMB 700,000) makes most people discouraged.

In contrast, D1 has the highest cost performance and the lowest risk.

Even if it is not as bright as the traditional meaning, it is still a shocking existence.

Although the tongue chip technology is not unfamiliar in the United States, the effect has not been ideal for a long time, and sometimes it needs voice prompts and other functions to assist.

Compared with similar products, D1 helps blind people live independently and even entertain to the greatest extent, which is almost a revolutionary breakthrough.

"Time Magazine" believes that the birth of D1 is a qualitative change for the tongue chip. It uses simple electronic devices to change the lives of blind people.

D1 consists of two parts, glasses and tongue chip.

The visual information is captured by the camera on the front of the glasses, and the visual information is processed and transformed to generate a chip that conducts current to the tongue. The chip stimulates the tongue, and the stimulus information is transmitted to the brain for processing, enters the visual area, and finally forms visual perception.

The technology is not too advanced, but productization is difficult. One is the size of the chip, but the processing and transformation of data.

Especially for the latter, the stimulus information is transmitted to the brain through the tongue, and the powerful data processing ability is inseparable to form an ultra-high-quality image.

This is precisely the strength of the digital group.

Front-end capture, back-end delivery.

Although D1 is only a medical product, it has won a high reputation for digital companies.

A company with a sense of social responsibility is usually enthusiastic about public welfare, paying attention to disadvantaged groups and not pursuing profit.

The launch of D1 also implies this.

A great company is on the rise, there are media comments.

Although Magic Mirror 2.0 is more sci-fi, more entertaining, with a wider audience and greater impact, the potential impact of D1 far exceeds that of Magic Mirror.

Many conservative media in the United States have been glaring at the digital conglomerate, and they can’t understand it everywhere.

However, the listing of D1 has completely changed these. Although it will not change its direction, and tout D1, it has not been aggressive.

The series of actions of the Digital Group completely ignited some domestic and foreign media.

Countless people fell into the carnival and continued to advocate.

For example, the Digital Group is most likely to surpass Apple and become the first trillion-dollar company in human history.

Whether it is software or hardware, digital companies have no obvious shortcomings.

In terms of software, it opens the era of artificial intelligence with one hand, almost reaching the limit in the digital field.

From the hardware point of view, the success of D1 and Magic Mirror also gave people an insight into the productization capabilities of digital companies.

Taken together, the numbers can complete Apple's 40-year journey in five years and achieve greatness.

Some people boast about the company, others boast about Zhao Ziming.

Although great achievements do not happen overnight, outstanding leadership can greatly accelerate this process.

Zhao Ziming is one of the best, a world-class operator, and the leader of future business.

The bragging is so explicit that I can't help but feel embarrassed when I see it.

As the saying goes, the uncoordinated virtue is always a taboo in life.

The honor that Digital Group has received far exceeds its strength.

No matter how much Xiaozhi brags, it is only a weak intelligence. To put it into use, a lot of training is required.

Some people say that it is the key to the era of science fiction, but there are other plans.

According to Zhao Ziming's information, some foreign Internet giants and school laboratories have developed artificial intelligence, although they are not as comprehensive as Xiaozhi, but their unilateral performance is not behind.

The Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford and Google’s DeepMind cooperated, and the artificial intelligence lip-reading they trained reached an accuracy of 46.8%.

Don't simply think that the accuracy of 46.8 is very low.

The conditions of the experiment are: video content is varied, not completely facing the camera, incoherent background and topics, the accuracy rate of ordinary people is 12.4%.

The image recognition intelligence developed by Professor Li Feifei of Stanford University and the neural machine translation launched by Google are among the best.

Xiaozhi is just one step ahead, and is far from an overwhelming advantage. There is still a long way to go.

Not to mention, the hardware equipment is completely dependent on foreign countries, and the gap is unimaginable.

Five Internet giants, including Google, have been sitting on the sidelines since they issued their joint opinions, and have not had too much contact with the digital group.

Zhao Ziming judged that several companies will have greater moves in the future and did not pin their hopes on the relevant algorithms announced by the Digital Group.

Decades of technological accumulation, the center of modern civilization, and the great advantages of the Western world have made chasers desperate.

As for whether to disclose the algorithm, Zhao Ziming made up his mind very early.

There is no need to think about it free of charge, technology can be interchanged, and exchanges can be made.

As a mature entrepreneur, you don’t evade when you need a positive answer, and you know how to detour when you need to be ambiguous.

At this time, you can't be prestigious or stubborn.

Domineering side leaks claim that the algorithm is not disclosed.

First of all, it is morally unreasonable. The five giants have always disclosed their algorithms, but you keep them secret.

Most people don't think about how much you use the other party's results, and it is easy to form a bad impression.

Secondly, all companies that are interested in going abroad know how to assess the situation and do not hurt the national feelings of the locals.

When the Magic Mirror is sold in India, it often puts Sino-Indian friendship in the first place and minimizes the national color. Even so, it is treated unfairly.

Therefore, it is understandable that Zhao Ziming avoided discussing the issue of artificial intelligence algorithm disclosure.

Furthermore, the national strategy has been involved, and how to develop the next step, Zhao Ziming alone does not count.

Which fields, which companies, and how to develop, must be considered from the overall perspective.

The person who knows the current affairs is Junjie. Since the official family is so sincere, Zhao Ziming also knows what to do and what not to do.
