Opening a new chapter of my work in AI

開啟我在人工智能領域的新篇章

Dear Friends,

親愛的朋友們：

I will be resigning from Baidu, where I have been leading the company's AI Group. Baidu’s AI is incredibly strong, and the team is stacked up and down with talent; I am confident AI at Baidu will continue to flourish. After Baidu, I am excited to continue working toward the AI transformation of our society and the use of AI to make life better for everyone.

我即將辭去在百度的工作，告別我一直帶領的人工智能團隊。百度的人工智能實力強大玄妈，團隊內上上下下都有非常優(yōu)秀的人才然痊，所以鸯檬，我堅信百度的人工智能將會一如既往蓬勃發(fā)展舵稠。離開百度之后深员，我也很高興將繼續(xù)致力于人工智能事業(yè)区匠，通過人工智能改變社會干像，使人們的生活更加美好。

Artificial Intelligence at Baidu

百度的人工智能

I joined Baidu in 2014 to work on AI. Since then, Baidu's AI group has grown to roughly 1,300 people, which includes the 300-person Baidu Research. Our AI software is used every day by hundreds of millions of people. We have had tremendous revenue and product impact, through the many dozens of AI projects that support our existing businesses in search, advertising, maps, take-out delivery, voice search, security, consumer finance and many more.

我在2014年加入百度驰弄，負責人工智能工作麻汰。到現(xiàn)在，百度的人工智能團隊已經(jīng)增長到近1300人戚篙，其中包括300名百度研究院成員五鲫。上億的用戶每天都在使用我們的人工智能軟件。我們通過許許多多人工智能產(chǎn)品項目支持我們的搜索岔擂、廣告位喂、地圖、外賣乱灵、語音搜索塑崖、安全、消費金融等等現(xiàn)有業(yè)務痛倚，提升產(chǎn)品弃舒，拉動收入。

We have also used AI to develop new lines of business. My team birthed one new business unit per year each of the last two years: autonomous driving and the DuerOS Conversational Computing platform. We are also incubating additional promising technologies, such as face-recognition (used in turnstiles that open automatically when an authorized person approaches), Melody (an AI-powered conversational bot for healthcare) and several more. As the principal architect of Baidu’s AI strategy, I am proud to have led the incredible rise of AI within the company.

我們也運用人工智能開拓新業(yè)務状原。我的團隊在過去的兩年中聋呢，每年都孵化出一項新業(yè)務：一項是無人駕駛，另一項是DuerOS語音交互計算平臺颠区。我們也正在孵化一些非常有前景的技術削锰，比如人臉識別（當已注冊用戶走近應用人臉識別技術的閘門時，閘門會自動開啟）毕莱，美樂醫(yī)（醫(yī)療領域的人工智能對話交互機器人）等等器贩。作為百度人工智能戰(zhàn)略的首席架構師，我很自豪能夠引領公司在人工智能方面飛速發(fā)展和崛起朋截。

Baidu is now one of the few companies with world-class expertise in every major AI area: speech, NLP, computer vision, machine learning, knowledge graph. It’s been an honor to lead the AI Group and work with Baidu’s remarkable team, from the executive leadership to the brilliant engineers, scientists, product managers and others.

百度是目前為數(shù)不多的在人工智能各個重要領域都擁有世界級專業(yè)水準的公司蛹稍，這些領域包括語音、自然語言處理部服、計算機視覺唆姐、機器學習、知識圖譜等諸多方面廓八。能夠帶領百度人工智能團隊奉芦，能夠跟百度卓越的管理者赵抢、非凡的工程師、科學家声功、產(chǎn)品經(jīng)理等等百度優(yōu)秀的團隊共事烦却，我深感榮幸。

Robin Li was the first large company CEO to clearly see the value of deep learning, and remains globally one of the best AI CEOs. COO Lu Qi is a seasoned business executive with significant experience in AI; with his leadership, AI at Baidu will flourish.

李彥宏是第一位高瞻遠矚先巴，清晰看到深度學習技術巨大價值的大公司CEO其爵，也是全球人工智能領域最優(yōu)秀的CEO之一。首席運營官陸奇是位資深的企業(yè)管理者伸蚯，同時在人工智能領域擁有豐富的經(jīng)驗醋闭，在他的領導下，百度的人工智能將繼續(xù)開花結果朝卒。

Wang Haifeng, the new head of the AI Group, is a fantastic researcher and technology leader; his leadership firmly positions the team for future greatness. Lin Yuanqing, our newly appointed head of Baidu Research, is a brilliant technology and business leader, who is creating both great AI technologies and great business results. Under their capable leadership, and that of other AI stars at Baidu such as Adam Coates, Jing Kun, Li Ping, Xu Wei, and Zhu Kaihua, AI at Baidu will continue to thrive, and I will be cheering their progress.

AI技術平臺體系新任總負責人王海峰是一位出色的研究學者和技術領袖。在他的有力領導下乐埠，百度的AI團隊定會有更好的未來發(fā)展抗斤。我們的新任百度研究院院長林元慶，是位出色的技術和業(yè)務帶頭人丈咐，將會提升百度人工智能技術瑞眼，創(chuàng)造更多業(yè)務成果。在他們的有力領導下棵逊，在Adam Coates伤疙、景鯤、李平辆影、徐偉徒像、以及朱凱華等人工智能頂尖人才的努力下，百度的人工智能將繼續(xù)開拓前行蛙讥，我也會為此而歡欣喝彩锯蛀。

I've also been privileged to learn from both the U.S. and Chinese AI communities?—?both of which are powerhouses. The U.S. is very good at inventing new technology ideas. China is very good at inventing and quickly shipping AI products. I’m happy also to have had an opportunity to contribute to the rise of AI in both China and the U.S.

我很榮幸能夠從兩大人工智能強國，中國次慢、美國的人工智能界都學習過旁涤。美國擅長創(chuàng)造新的技術和理念，而中國擅于將人工智能技術用于開發(fā)出好的產(chǎn)品迫像。我很高興自己能夠有機會既為中國也為美國的人工智能發(fā)展崛起作出努力和貢獻劈愚。

AI is the new electricity

人工智能是新電能

Just as electricity transformed many industries roughly 100 years ago, AI will also now change nearly every major industry?—?healthcare, transportation, entertainment, manufacturing?—?enriching the lives of countless people. I am more excited than ever about where AI can take us.

正如百年前電能改變了很多行業(yè)一樣，人工智能也正在改變著醫(yī)療闻妓、交通菌羽、娛樂、制造業(yè)等主要行業(yè)由缆，豐富充實著無數(shù)人的生活算凿。對于人工智能將帶領我們前往何方份蝴，我比以往都要興奮和期待。

As the founding lead of the Google Brain project, and more recently through my role at Baidu, I have played a role in the transformation of two leading technology companies into “AI companies.” But AI’s potential is far bigger than its impact on technology companies.

作為谷歌大腦計劃的創(chuàng)始人氓轰，以及百度人工智能的負責人婚夫，我在這兩家頂尖的技術公司向“人工智能公司”轉型中都發(fā)揮了作用。但是人工智能的潛力遠遠超越了對科技公司的影響署鸡。

I will continue my work to shepherd in this important societal change. In addition to transforming large companies to use AI, there are also rich opportunities for entrepreneurship as well as further AI research. I want all of us to have self-driving cars; conversational computers that we can talk to naturally; and healthcare robots that understand what ails us.

我將繼續(xù)致力于用人工智能引領這場重大的社會變革案糙。除了推動大公司使用人工智能，也還有很多創(chuàng)業(yè)靴庆，以及更深入進行人工智能研究的機會时捌。我希望我們每個人都擁有自動駕駛汽車，每個人都擁有可以自如進行語音對話交互的計算機炉抒，每個人都擁有可以診斷我們病痛的醫(yī)療機器人奢讨。

The industrial revolution freed humanity from much repetitive physical drudgery; I now want AI to free humanity from repetitive mental drudgery, such as driving in traffic. This work cannot be done by any single company?—?it will be done by the global AI community of researchers and engineers.

工業(yè)革命將人類從重復性體力勞動中解放出來；現(xiàn)在我希望人工智能可以將人類從重復性腦力勞動焰薄，比如忙亂的交通駕駛中拿诸，解放出來。這項工作不是任何一家公司可以獨立完成的塞茅，這是全世界的人工智能研究者和工程師的共同課題亩码。

My Machine Learning MOOC on Coursera helped many people enter AI. In addition to working on AI myself, I will also explore new ways to support all of you in the global AI community, so that we can all work together to bring this AI-powered society to fruition.

我在Coursera上的機器學習MOOC課程曾幫助很多人進入人工智能這個領域。除了致力于人工智能本身之外野瘦，我也將探索新的方式來幫助全球人工智能的愛好者描沟，讓我們一起用人工智能賦能整個社會，取得更多成果鞭光。

I am more optimistic than ever about the fantastic future we will build with AI. Lets keep working hard to get AI to help everyone!

我們將利用人工智能創(chuàng)造美好未來吏廉，對此我從未如此樂觀。讓我們一起為推動人工智能惰许，幫助每一個人而努力迟蜜！
