"Brain," Baidu
The deep learning AI system Baidu Brain uses three core functions of AI algorithms, super computing power, and big data to simulate the human brain.
It is the nerve center of Baidu's autonomous car, facial and voice recognition, and robots that can compose and read poems or comment on a live football match, said Zhang Yaqin, president of Baidu.
"What we see now is just the tip of an enormous AI iceberg," Zhang said. "In the next 20 years or so, there will be many opportunities."
