Artificial intelligence , English abbreviation for AI. Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science. It attempts to understand the essence of intelligence and produces a new intelligent machine that responds to human intelligence, including robots, language recognition, and image recognition.Natural language processing and expert system.
According to VentureScanner, global investment in artificial intelligence in 2014 was $1 billion, up nearly 50 percent year on year. Global artificial intelligence companies have received nearly $1.2 billion in investment in 2015, a figure that has exceeded the total investment of 17years or the past 20 years. In 2014, 40 transactions were completed in the field of venture capital, with a total amount of up to $0.3 billion. The global market for artificial intelligence is expected to be over 100 billion in 2020. In the next 10 years or more, artificial intelligence will be the breakthrough point for many smart industrial technologies and application development.
Since childhood, Gao Qingzhong was a member of the straight A student, who was a member of the Fujian math team, from junior high school to high school to win the whole city champion, the whole province, and the first prize in the whole country. The overall grade is also the first, and he went from junior high school to high school, high school to the university, to the famous Nankai university math pilot class (Chen province class) to study.
After graduation, he went to Shanghai Jiao Tong University to study computer master, specializing in the direction of artificial intelligent natural language processing, at that time the artificial intelligence industry in the low period. He joined Huawei in 1999, and it was more than 18 years. Early from the communication and it technology, has been responsible for the innovation incubation center of Huawei, long-term strategic planning and strategic cooperation, in artificial intelligence, the area of the chain of deep thinking, To help a multi-blockchain project to success.
With the deep understanding of the blockchain, Gao found that the area of blockchain lacked artificial intelligence, and his professional instinct told him that the combination of the two must be able to collide with different sparks. With this idea, he began to communicate with many related experts, to explore the possibility of a combination of these, and he himself is responsible for the innovation incubation center, very passionate on the open source community and of technological innovation process is to understand, so he decided to do an artificial intelligence blockchain of the open source community. In may, after nearly half a year of team and technical preparation, the intelligent matrix open source community project was officially released.
Now the Atmatrix team has more than 10 people, most of which are senior technical experts in the field of artificial intelligence and blockchain the AI field, there is the chief architect Liu Jun, the chief architect in the field of intelligence and artificial intelligence. In the field of blockchain, there is Qian Xiaodong who is good at graphene technology and EVM intelligent contract technology development; Bit of a few core developers, Wang Xiaoyin, and so on. In addition, they also invited a number of high-school MBA, overseas doctors to join, as well as Lu Jin's senior technical experts, and to get many academicians and professor experts as consultant guidance, technical background solid.
The name of the intelligent matrix is derived from its English name Atmatrix, which is the meaning of AI Technology, indicating that they want to be the following IT (information age), DT(date age). After the data era, the next generation of technology in the world (artificial intelligence age), Matrix is the film "matrix" in the matrix of the, can also be translated into the matrix. It is a world of self-operation, self-organization, and the future of artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence helps the blockchain to achieve the third generation upgrade
What about the combination of blockchain and artificial intelligence?
Gao found that not only artificial intelligence could solve the problem of blockchain, but the blockchain could also solve problems in the artificial intelligence industry.
First of all, the problem of blockchain itself, this technology is born to now, there is no artificial intelligence ability. The first section of the chain is Bitcoin, although the innovative creation of a distributed financial system, but the script language is simple, can only do simple transfer、pay; The second generation blockchain is Ethereum, which is designed to solve the function of expanding blockchain by extending the script and virtual machine, such as writing a smart contract. The development of the DApp to the centralized application and so on. But it is very weak in the chain, the ability of operation, storage ability, and network ability, can not run the semantic understanding of artificial intelligence, machine learning and multi-layer neural network.
So, how to use artificial intelligence in the field of blockchain has become a bottleneck in the current blockchain technology. What the smart matrix is doing is to solve this problem.
“No one has done this so far, first of all, because it's really a technical bone, it's hard to eat, and there are some impetuous and bubbles in the industry, and many people choose to do it easily. It is easy to circle the money, not to touch the head of the technology. We are all Chen people, we do not go to the trend, our vision is very simple, let the blockchain use artificial intelligence.”
As the saying goes, it takes one bite to eat one and one step at a time. So their first step, first of all, is to let the Ethereum use artificial intelligence. They hope to achieve this plan through solving the problem of AI service in the intelligent contract. At present, the intelligent in the intelligent contract in the Ethereum network is not really “smart”, but the intelligent matrix can make the intelligent contract and the blockchain system become the real.
First of all, they will develop a DApp, which consists of a series of intelligent contracts, including the main contract, the agency contract, the governance contract, and the contracts. User information management contract. When an intelligent contract can be used by AI, it will give the smart contract and help the intelligent contract to achieve Dapp's artificial intelligence management.
The specific realization way through DBot, DBot is a new concept term introduced by the intelligent matrix. It is used to express the user definition program for all things and communication between Ethereum and AI services, and they will provide the development specification of the Dbot program. Users will be able to develop DBot programs based on these specifications and release them to the DBot platform. The DBot platform consists of a series of DBot servers and runs together. The relay server will be managed by a lot of DBot accounts registered on the Atmaxtrix DApp. These accounts will be selected by the governance mechanism defined by the contract, and only through the authorization of these accounts, the DBot server can communicate with Atmatrix.
Atmatrix can also solve the problem of mutual call between each other, which is now separated from each other, Atmatrix provides a decentralized, unlicensed, everyone-accessible AI network through Dapp to resolve cooperation between AI participants Problem, Atmatrix has become a network of AI ecology and the economic infrastructure with the ability of intelligent contract.
“Our chain and any other chain can be docked, as long as the other side needs artificial intelligence. Each chain set up a certain Dbot, consensus mechanism, can be compatible, chain into a large net. Together together to transform the traditional world.”
The innovation of these technologies has made a big step in solving the problem of blockchains: making the blockchain use artificial intelligence. At present, the DApp prototype of the DApp has been developed.
The decentralized mode of blockchain helps the artificial intelligence industry to improve production efficiency.
To move the eye to the artificial intelligence industry, Gao also found that the AI technology is advanced, but its development mode is relatively backward. “Is similar to self-sufficient small-scale peasant economic model” needs to produce the things he needs, the function of his own research and development, “needs its own food, do not buy other people's food. I can't buy it, either.”
Once the major enterprises decide to start the layout of artificial intelligence, it is necessary to start to re-invent the wheel of, all to walk the path of others, no one is willing to share. The talent of AI is less and more expensive, and the efficiency of the industry is very low. They think these phenomena can be broken down into three questions:
A. By what? Sharing in Al domain is essentially the sharing of algorithms and data models. What if you take it all after sharing? Therefore, the security of data and algorithms should be ensured when sharing. It's like Coca Cola has developed a formula to sell customers a bottle of money, but you can't sell the bottle and give it to you.
B. How to share? The sharing party needs the benefit, it needs a certain pricing system, because there is high cost input, so it is impossible to share without compensation.
C. How do you use it after sharing? The big companies are independent, the GUI is closed research and development, have their own standards, the things other companies can't use directly. There is a problem of standardization and compatibility.
Using blockchain can solve these problems:
A. The problem of paid sharing: it is essentially the issue of valuation, which can be priced and traded through the built-in "market" of the scrip system;
B. Standardization problem: using AIaas (AI as a service), the AI as a service API to call, the enterprise itself to determine the standard. What interface is used on what interface is used;
C. Sharing security issues: using API to do, data, code will not leak, and the blockchain itself can be used to register and encrypt data.
In this way, the blockchain will be able to manage the artificial intelligence world, “and our project has made the original non-cooperative, closed, isolated, non-market, non-market industry. The future can become market, share, collaboration”.
Seek the most suitable underlying architecture and organizational architecture.
The underlying architecture of the intelligent matrix is designed to adapt to their development direction.
What they do now is based on the existing talent, determine what problems each step can solve, the first step is to solve the problem of artificial intelligence in the Ethereum, with the successful case of Ethereum. By the way, you can do the same with other chains; The next step is to set up an independent public chain platform (DBot blockchain platform), with the initial idea being graphene Build EVM on 2.0 basis.
Now their consensus mechanism chain, both within and outside the chain within the chain of ordinary nodes can be completely free access, but the consensus node will use DPOS mechanism, to overcome the performance of the mechanism of POS shareholders too scattered cases is not high. Select a certain number of shareholders' agents through the board mechanism to determine the trend of the network.
In the chain, there is a consensus mechanism for AI Contribution (or Proofof Work of AI).It means that in accordance with the contribution of AI (or AI work), the greater the value of contribution (or workload) proves that the greater the value of AI's contribution, the greater the value. It's like a paper that has been quoted more often, and the greater the value of the article. If the AI contribution is high, the higher the income, and the proceeds can be used to buy other people's AI contributions (work).
“This means that we only need to plant the food that we are good at, and other dishes can be bought, so that the whole AI world can be long, specializing in all walks of life, in many directions.”
And this is also a system that is very full of new power. As long as we start to find a few to join, there will be a lot of companies in the back, otherwise the company will be left behind, the company will still be in a closed door, The mode of being alone, the group of companies that will be Co-working with each other is widening the gap.
“Our strategic idea is to unite all the people who can unite, whether other people are in the alliance chain, the business chain or what other chain, anyway I am open source, can be connected with me. It's a completely open mind.”
When Dbot is developed, Gao hopes that the future can have the opportunity to achieve consensus algorithm module, the module pluggable contract, compatible with the EOS, and support the homomorphic encryption, and other functions, to satisfy the needs of different chain docking. “Hopefully we can carry the burden of the third generation of blockchain.”
Gao also has its own planning for community development.
On the whole, they will support the AI innovation of various industries, first of all, they will invite the AI development department of the big company to join, bring in the professional demand and supply; The second step towards small AI demand, they may not have the money to recruit AI experts, but can join the platform to develop good AI technology through the API for some industry characteristics, companies to customize. In this way, there will be a large number of companies in all walks of life, and then to do all kinds of innovation, the establishment of a prosperous ecological.
This year, Gao hopes that the community will grow fast, and in a year is prepared to bring artificial intelligence to Ethereum; After 18 months will establish a business chain, pull the whole ai industry to share cooperation.
