Observation: Many enterprises have twists and turns on the road to the science and technology innovation board. Intermediaries need to be the first "gatekeepers" This week, the stock trading of the science and technology innovation board entered the fourth week. 28 science and technology innovation board enterprises have appeared in the market and operated steadily. The pace of the company's listing has gradually entered normalization. However, several companies are happy and some are worried. As of August 13, five companies have voluntarily withdrawn their listing applications and bid farewell to the Science and Technology Innovation Board. Behind the enterprises applying for the Science and Technology Innovation Board, the dynamics of intermediaries are also concerned. Previously, the first illegal operation of a sponsor on the Science and Technology Innovation Board pushed the sponsor CICC into the public opinion. The registration system of the Science and Technology Innovation Board handed over the realization of the authenticity of information disclosure to the issuer, but it was not without review or verification. Under the registration system, the responsibilities of intermediary agencies such as recommendation agencies need to be further strengthened, and the "gatekeepers" of the science and technology innovation board need to be done well. Many enterprises have experienced ups and downs on the road to listing, and the speed up of the Science and Technology Innovation Board has made many enterprises "aspire to it". However, some application enterprises and intermediaries are slightly "impetuous", and the road to listing can be described as ups and downs. On April 13, the "Securities Market Red Weekly" published the article "Traffic Control Technology Rushes to the Science and Technology Innovation Board with" Diseases ", and Many Financial Data Are Inadequate in Authenticity", which analyzed in detail the possible false problems in information such as traffic control technology business data and management analysis. On May 21, Wan Jiuqing, the sponsor representative of the listing of Traffic Control Technology Co., Ltd., and Mo Peng illegally changed the prospectus, reviewed the inquiry letter and other documents related to the registration application, which were both issued fines by the CSRC and the Shanghai Stock Exchange, which just corroborated the previous article of Red Weekly's query on the application materials of Traffic Control Technology. The sponsor of Traffic Control Technology was "first punished" by the Science and Technology Innovation Board, IPO was once on the verge of death. In the end, Traffic Control Technology passed three rounds of review and inquiry, and met the requirements on whether the issuer met the issuance, listing conditions and credit rating requirements. On July 8, Papaya withdrew its application for listing, and the review status was updated to "terminated". Following suit, Hejian Chip, Nuokonda Medical Technology, Haitian Raytheon and Bestar voluntarily withdrew materials to terminate IPO application review on July 23, July 24, July 26 and August 7, respectively. In fact, some enterprises that voluntarily withdrew their orders were questioned by the media and the public as early as they applied for the Science and Technology Innovation Board. In April this year, the Daily Economic News published several reports questioning the information disclosure and business model of Papaya Mobile. The prospectus of Papaya Mobile's science and technology innovation board lacks the disclosure of key information such as risk tips and business changes, and whether it conforms to the positioning of the science and technology innovation board is also questioned. On the one hand, it is a big data company, and on the other hand, it is the revenue supported by advertising agencies. The core business model of this enterprise is puzzling. Among the first nine science and technology innovation board enterprises accepted, Hejian Chip is the only one that has suffered losses for three consecutive years. Its ability to make money in the industry has attracted investors' attention. According to the statistics of China Semiconductor Association, Hejian Chip ranked eighth in the sales list of China's top ten semiconductor manufacturing enterprises in 2017, with a market share of only 2.32%. Taking the financial report of SMIC International, which ranked second, as an example, its R&D expenditure in 2016-2018 was 2.208 billion yuan, 2.791 billion yuan and 1.788 billion yuan respectively. During the same period, the R&D expenditure of Hejian chips was 188 million yuan, 290 million yuan and 386 million yuan respectively, which showed a rising trend year by year, but was far lower than that of SMIC International. In the highly competitive semiconductor industry, Hejian Chip still has insufficient market share and R&D investment, and is unable to establish its own market security barriers. "There are not so many listed companies on the Science and Technology Innovation Board, and they do not need to queue up like the main board. Therefore, the key to the listing of enterprises is whether they meet the requirements of the Science and Technology Innovation Board." Professor Han Fuling, the director of the Department of Applied Finance of the School of Finance of the Central University of Finance and Economics and the director of the Institute of Financial Securities, said, "The cancellation of the application for the Science and Technology Innovation Board does not have the same time limit as the main board. Therefore, for the company itself, it would be better to wait until the conditions are more complete and the time is more mature to apply for listing on the Science and Technology Innovation Board." In addition to these enterprises that voluntarily withdrew their orders, there are also some enterprises that are on the way to listing on the Science and Technology Innovation Board that have been questioned. In March this year, an article on a financial website titled "Wuhan Keqian Financial Data Doubts: 28 Times Difference from Key Customer Data" questioned the mismatch between Tebao's biological procurement and cash expenditure, and the inventory data was quite different. As for the part questioned by the media, Tebao Biology replied one by one and issued an audit report on the difference between the original financial statements and the declared financial statements. At present, Tebao Biology suspended the audit due to the need to supplement and update the financial report. Today, with the rapid development of the bio pharmaceutical industry, investors will wait and see whether this innovative bio pharmaceutical enterprise can stand out and succeed among many declaration enterprises. The voice of questioning from the media and the market can urge issuers and intermediaries to strictly comply with laws and regulations and make information disclosure, which to some extent has a positive impact on the openness and transparency of the issuance review of the Science and Technology Innovation Board. The registration system is not behind the withdrawal of enterprises from IPO without review or verification, but multiple rounds of inquiry centered on information disclosure of the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The inquiry focuses on the core technology and its advancement of relevant enterprises, horizontal competition and related party transactions that may affect the issuer's ability to operate independently and continuously, the standardization of basic work of financial accounting and the effectiveness of internal control, as well as the adequacy, consistency and comprehensibility of relevant information disclosure to ensure the fairness and quality of the sci-tech innovation version. The original intention of the Science and Technology Innovation Edition is to serve "the scientific and technological innovation enterprises that adhere to the international scientific and technological frontier, face the main economic battlefield, and face the major national needs, mainly serve the national strategy, break through key core technologies, and have high market recognition", enhance China's core technological innovation capability, and pilot registration system can reduce financing costs, Solve the problem of high investment and long cycle in technological R&D of innovative enterprises. On July 30, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting, pointing out that the Science and Technology Innovation Board should adhere to its positioning, implement the registration system with information disclosure as the core, and improve the quality of listed companies. As early as March this year, the Shanghai Stock Exchange has stressed that the registration system is not a non audit or non audit system, nor is it just a formal audit system. In case of non-compliance, the right of veto will be exercised according to law and regulations. If major violations are found, the on-site inspection shall be started when necessary. "The IPO of the Science and Technology Innovation Board is indeed efficient and fast, but it does not mean that it does not have corresponding detailed, specific and executable rules, nor does it mean that its standards are low and the restrictions are relaxed. In other words, if an enterprise wants to get away with the heat of the science and technology innovation board and has problems with its own enterprise's standardization, sustainable operation ability, science and technology innovation positioning, both its own judgment and the sponsor may think that it cannot pass the IPO. " Fu Lichun, director of Northeast Securities Research, believes that "enterprises actively terminate the review is also to leave a way out for themselves." Exchange inquiry is not the first hurdle for IPO. In the process of applying for listing on the Science and Technology Innovation Board, the intermediary is actually the first gatekeeper of the listing. Intermediaries have great responsibilities. "One of the biggest differences between the Science and Technology Innovation Board and the Main Board, the Small and Medium Board, and the GEM is the registration system. Under the approval system, the CSRC and the IEC actually perform the responsibility of review, which is equivalent to endorsing enterprises that apply for listing. Under the registration system, the responsibility for the audit of listed companies is largely controlled by intermediaries. Compared with the approval system, the responsibilities of intermediaries have been greatly strengthened. " Professor Han Fuling said, "Compared with the main board, the registration system of the science and technology innovation board has no higher requirements for profitability, but there are requirements for the growth and technological content of enterprises. Investors bear relatively large risks, and intermediaries are needed to check the company's financial status, growth, authenticity, reliability, etc." Yang Delong, chief economist of Qianhai Open Source Fund, pointed out that, "At present, in a strict regulatory environment, the supervision of the IPO of the Science and Technology Innovation Board should be more strict, and the recommendation agencies, accounting firms and law firms should do their best. The termination of the IPO of an enterprise shows that it does not meet the requirements and conditions for listing in some aspects, so it is very important to check the source." The recommendation agencies have a particularly important responsibility in intermediaries. The Review Rules of Shanghai Stock Exchange for the Issuance and Listing of Science and Technology Innovation Board Shares introduced the responsibilities of the sponsor in detail, including that the sponsor should strictly abide by the business rules formulated according to law and the requirements of industry self-discipline norms, strictly implement the internal control system, and comprehensively verify the application documents for the issuance and listing, To make professional judgment on whether the issuer conforms to the positioning of the Science and Technology Innovation Board, and whether the enterprise conforms to the scope of relevant industries, whether it relies on core technology to carry out production and operation, whether it has strong growth, etc., to prudently make a recommendation decision, and to give special opinions on whether it conforms to the positioning of the Science and Technology Innovation Board. These were summarized as "six don'ts" by the sponsor training course sponsored by the China Securities Association and the Shanghai Stock Exchange in March this year: do not simply refer to the industry list to recommend enterprises; Do not simply recommend enterprises against the listing conditions; Don't hold the attitude of breaking through barriers; Don't lower standards to recommend enterprises; Don't pursue the number of sponsors; Don't lower the quality of the recommendation. The accounting firm bears the responsibility of the financial gatekeeper. Wang Legang, partner of Zhongxi Certified Public Accountants, said in an interview with China Accounting Journal that if the audit or evaluation of the accounting law firm is not strictly controlled and the information disclosure is wrong, it will directly affect the interests of investors. Therefore, accounting firms should strictly abide by the financial standards for listing, scrupulously perform their duties, audit and evaluate with due diligence, and ensure the authenticity and accuracy of information disclosure. Law firms should strictly control the red line of laws and regulations, ensure that all acts of intermediaries and issuers are legal and compliant, act as "supervisors", make a fair judgment on whether there are legal risks, and improve the compliance level of information disclosure. Fu Lichun said that both accounting firms and law firms should change their roles from the original channel role to a professional market institution, shouldering the more important responsibility of checking.

Punish the Internet audio industry and completely stamp out the problem content Recently, the State Cyberspace Office, together with relevant departments, has been among the first batch of people to communicate with each other in accordance with laws and regulations Soul、 26 illegal audio platforms, such as YuPlay and Yishuo FM, which spread historical nihilism and obscene pornographic content, respectively adopted ladder penalties such as interview, off the shelf, and shutdown of services to comprehensively and intensively renovate the audio industry. Internet problem audio content has become a commonplace issue, and all sectors of society, including the media, have paid close attention to it. Last year, the song "Christmas Eve" sung by PGone, a member of the "Red Flower Club", was criticized by the Communist Youth League Central Committee, Xinhua News Agency, China Women's Daily and other official microblogs for "abetting teenagers to take drugs and insulting women" because the lyrics contained bad information. When commenting on the PGone lyrics scandal, People's Daily pointed out: "Encouraging young people to express their youth enthusiasm is the meaning of 'freestyle', but the promotion of evil customs and violence is not among them." On June 14 and 20 this year, the People's Network Venture Capital Channel published "Pornographic and violent songs have been repeatedly banned, what should be the" crime "of the Internet music platform?" The two articles "Netease Cloud Music and Xiami Music" Dirt "Is Hard to Sweep Away, Expecting Real Results from Market Regulation" reveal that, There are vulgar songs in QQ Music, Kugou Music, Kuwo Music, Xiami Music and Netease Cloud Music. These music platforms belong to Tencent, Alibaba, Netease and other Internet giants. In fact, in recent years, the regulatory authorities have conducted too many rounds of governance on problem music. For example, in the second half of 2018, a number of music websites were called, and 4664 online music products were suspected of violating the rules. However, unfortunately, some music platforms showed the attitude of going their own way and perfunctory. The supervision came, followed the problem songs off the shelves, and after strict control, "Fanxin" started again. The music platform has the obligation to review the content. When they launch the problematic music, are they really unaware of it? No! It is obvious that they knowingly committed crimes, such as Sharon Van Etten's "Magic Chords" MV on Netease Cloud Music, where several men and women floated naked on the water, even labeled "exclusive". Netizens said jokingly, "This is not watching MV, but watching AV". "The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit." However, in any case, the moral bottom line and the legal red line cannot be lost. Once the boundary is crossed, the reputation and wealth of the enterprise will be destroyed, and the adverse impact on the society will be incalculable. It is worth noting that the relevant person in charge of the National Office of Cyberspace Affairs said that the National Office of Cyberspace Affairs will work with relevant departments to address both the symptoms and root causes, manage and build simultaneously, and promote the standardized development of audio platform enterprises while carrying out centralized renovation. The comprehensive management of the audio industry has brought about a prosperous market and a better user experience. Purifying the music market is also inseparable from the platform's self-management. Alibaba, Tencent, NetEase and other giants have all grown from small companies step by step, and formed their own Internet empires through capital expansion. For the problems reflected by the society, we should learn from them and make three reflections. The bigger the platform is, the greater the responsibility is. Remember that "the dike of thousands of miles will collapse in the ant nest", otherwise it will be too late to repent. We expect that, with the high attention paid by the relevant departments of the state to this issue and the heavy efforts made to remedy it, enterprises, associations, the government and other sectors of society can act in concert, focus on the end, work for a long time, thoroughly stamp out the resurgence of the content of the problem, and make the Internet music platform an incremental factor to enrich China's advanced culture.

Netease Cloud Music and Xiami Music "Dirt" Is Hard to Sweep, Expecting Market Supervision to Be Real and Effective On June 14, 2019, the article "Pornographic and Violent Songs Are Repeatedly Prohibited, What" Crime "should be committed on the Internet Music Platform" published by the People's Daily Online Venture Capital Channel disclosed that many songs on Netease Cloud Music, Xiami Music and QQ Music Platform contain violence, pornography, and instigation of crime. In 2015, the Ministry of Culture centrally investigated 120 songs with illegal content, some of which were still not taken off the shelves. From the problems reflected in the report, the fundamental reason for the unclear relationship between the music platform and the problem music is the interests, which shows the lack of respect and attention to supervision. Faced with the perfunctory responsibility and inaction of some music platforms, it is suggested that the regulatory authorities should act decisively, severely punish the typical, cut off the interest chain, and create a clear sky for the online music market. The judgment and supervision of problematic music is not groundless. The Provisional Regulations on the Administration of Internet Culture has long defined ten detailed standards for violations. In recent years, relevant regulatory authorities have conducted too many rounds of governance on problem music. For example, in the second half of last year, a number of music websites were named, and 4664 online music products were suspected of violating the rules. According to the 2018 music APP ranking released by Internet Weekly and eNet Research Institute, the top five major music platforms in China are QQ Music, Kugou Music, Kuwo Music, Netease Cloud Music and Xiami Music. These music platforms belong to Alibaba, Tencent and Netease Internet giants. With the support of Internet giants and capital, the music platform has grown rapidly, but at the level of content management, the existence of pornographic and violent songs has been criticized. The music platform knows that the pressure of supervision is great, but it still goes its own way, which must have its deep-seated behavioral logic. In the production and dissemination chain of problem music, various music websites are the entrance of traffic, holding absolute distribution and dissemination rights, which is the most important link to control negative impacts. Content harmful to public morality such as obscenity, violence, and instigation of crime has emerged. In the final analysis, there are not only factors of insufficient investment at the level of music website gatekeeper and review, but also short-term thinking of "fly meat". The music platform allows grey production to exist, which is basically because vulgar content can bring a certain amount of traffic. For example, the Honghua Club, which was taken off the shelves because of illegal songs, has a large number of fans. The rotten meat is also meat, so it is hard to avoid heartache to gouge it out. The short-sighted platform inevitably has its own small nine points: one day later than other platforms, you can harvest an additional day of traffic; The whip is to hit everyone. Even though his posture is ugly, he will not hurt his muscles and bones. It is particularly worth mentioning that after the report of People's Daily Online was published, due to the pressure of supervision, many named songs have been removed from the music platform, but only to this extent. Netease Cloud Music, Xiami Music and other platforms can still search for pornographic and violent songs. For example, on Netease Cloud Music, Daniel Bedingfield's "Secret Fear" MV, men and women are naked in the video, Sharon Van Etten's "Magic Chords" MV shows several men and women floating naked on the water. On Xiami Music, the cover picture of Peaches' song "Jonny" is similar to the male genital. The management mode of squeezing toothpaste on the music platform is nothing more than a "benefit" word. These music platforms know that in the face of the rapid development of Internet technology and market, there is a lag in regulatory laws and regulations and the depth of supervision. By muddling along, "when a monk strikes a clock every day", the platform will get real gold and silver. With this mentality and the judgment of the supervision form, some music platforms and vulgar music creators have objectively reached a pattern of highly bound interests around user traffic, and the platform is more like "releasing water to raise fish". Vulgar music has brought popularity to the platform, and the platform has brought market for vulgar music. This mutual feeding Internet ecology has actually helped to increase the confidence of creators to create in violation of regulations. For them, the production of pornographic and violent music content seems to have been secretly supported by the platform. The question is whether the person in charge of the music platform has ever thought that when you are standing under the spotlight and making an impassioned speech, there may be countless depressed mothers standing behind your computers and mobile phones. When you get round after round of the latest financing, the whole society may have to pay a high governance cost for this. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility; The larger the platform is, the more responsible it is. The bottom line is insurmountable, and the sunny network atmosphere must be defended. In the current music market, almost all products with the highest share have BAT. As a giant Internet company, they should shoulder the responsibility of guarding the network atmosphere and safeguarding the growth environment of young people. For the bad phenomenon that the illegal content has not been banned repeatedly, they must exert all their efforts from the concept introduction, corporate governance and other aspects, and never let "cancer cells" grow and multiply. Music platform practitioners should understand that wealth is a derivative of value. If they ignore social responsibility, play smart, and be careful, they will be passively and selectively managed under regulatory and external pressure. Such irresponsible attitude will be abandoned by the market and users sooner or later. To eliminate vulgar content, the supervision agency has great potential. Faced with new situations and old persistent diseases, it is recommended that the supervision agency upgrade the supervision method and establish a blacklist system for musicians and songs; Perfect the user reporting channel; Strengthen the law enforcement on illegal platforms, take effective punitive measures such as offline software, investigating legal responsibilities of all stakeholders, and force the platform to perform its duties in accordance with the law for invalid interviews or repeated fines.

In 2019, artificial intelligence moves to the B end AI technology has been developing for more than 60 years, and has shown an explosive development trend in recent years, with capital and practitioners flooding in. Yuval Herali, the author of A Brief History of Human Beings, even made a bold prediction that in the next century, powerful technologies such as artificial intelligence will change our body, brain and consciousness, so we may be the last generation of human beings. However, in the view of some practitioners, AI is still in the stage of birth to bubble, and it seems to be a consensus in the industry that it has been really implemented in the industry and started large-scale application in the past few years. General artificial intelligence has not yet seen the dawn. In 1950, Alan McPherson Turing published Computer and Intelligence, 30% of which was his prediction of machine thinking ability. He believed that in 2000, humans should create artificial intelligence that can deceive 30% of adults in five minutes of question and answer. At present, we are far behind this prediction. Turing also designed a "imitation game", that is, Turing test: a remote human tester can judge whether it is a human or a computer according to the responses of two entities to various questions he raised within a specified period of time. In fact, so far, no AI has passed this test. In this test, AI needs to have the ability to think like human beings, which is the core element of what we call general AI. In the past decades, AI has experienced several waves and winters. In 2016, AlphaGo won the match with the world Go champion, and the public's enthusiasm for AI was rekindled. Today, AI is still in a hot outbreak stage. So, what is the current situation of AI development? In recent years, the progress of artificial intelligence is mainly concentrated in the field of specialized artificial intelligence. A large number of relatively mature products such as industrial robots and autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles have emerged. Zhang Qin, former vice chairman of the China Association for Science and Technology, mentioned in the interview that at present, "special" AI is the first choice for AI landing. However, special AI also has great limitations. Due to the single task and clear requirements, it is difficult to draw inferences from one instance and understand. Although general artificial intelligence has been discussed and mentioned, the real general artificial intelligence has not yet appeared. "The general artificial intelligence model depends on the understanding of the working mechanism of the biological brain, but this understanding has not yet seen the dawn," said Zhang Qin. General AI still has a long way to go. Long Mengzhu, a CMO of Sibchi, put forward that "under different conditions, different AI intelligent hardware may have different understanding logic for the same sentence, so voice interaction cannot fully reach the level of general AI in a short time." In order to win the AI era, the business experience of AI enterprises, from BAT to unicorn, They are developing towards the B-end market. It is easy to see from the investment in artificial intelligence in 2018, BAT and other industry giants have made a layout in the field of artificial intelligence, especially ToB. Some even said that, AI itself is a toB business, which is sold to businesses rather than users. On this track, artificial intelligence competes with thousands of sails, providing strong technical support, AI technology is also developing in this process. It is up to the developers to determine how AI will restructure various industries. Take the medical industry as an example, AI imaging and AI assisted diagnosis technology are constantly expanding the application scenarios of AI medicine, helping doctors improve work efficiency and promote precision medicine. Tencent said that in the future, relying on AI auxiliary diagnosis engine and smart hospital ecology, the application scenarios of medical AI will be more abundant. Before diagnosis, through AI guidance AI triage and pre diagnosis will improve the accuracy and efficiency of pre diagnosis information collection. At the same time, new application scenarios such as AI follow-up after diagnosis will also promote intelligent communication between doctors and patients outside the consulting room. Tian Feng, president of Alibaba Cloud Research Institute, believes that in the field of toB, there is still a large amount of AI application space to be explored in different industries, such as the subdivided vertical fields of agriculture and industry. For example, in the field of planting, by setting sensors between each fruit tree, the weather, growth and soil conditions can be identified in real time, and the identified data can be used for precise planting and weeding of each apple tree. In order to let car travelers enjoy the convenience brought by technology more quickly, traditional cars are also constantly undergoing transformation and iteration. Yan Wei, the person in charge of Shangtang Technology's car business, said that with the development of smart car cabins, users have been able to realize information exchange between the car system cloud platform mobile APP, fatigue detection, distraction detection, window control through gestures, vision tracking, passenger attribute analysis, etc., which has greatly improved driving safety and the intelligent level of people car interaction. As dawn approaches, the TO B field still faces challenges. With the help of AI, the financial, medical, automotive and other industries have shown an explosive trend in the past year. The market opportunity has arrived, and the next step is to find a breakthrough in various industries. The C end market is not easy to do, The B-end market is also tough. While welcoming the opportunities of the times, AI is also facing some problems. AI is not an independent technology, but a technology group. Tian Feng pointed out that the advantages of AI in different industries have preconditions, such as whether the industry has enough data accumulation, or whether the industry has enough problems to solve based on technical intelligence, and whether the business value is large enough, which is determined by many comprehensive factors. At the same time, he believes that the current software and hardware conditions of AI also have room for optimization. "Operating efficiency and algorithm training speed are key points. The faster an algorithm is trained, the faster algorithm optimization and iteration will be. The current edge intelligence, in fact, is to burn the algorithm into the chip and directly operate on the edge, such as training on the cloud and application on the edge." In recent years, with the support of new energy, shared travel and other social trends, The combination of artificial intelligence and automobile industry has also burst out unlimited development space. Yan Wei said that in the process of upgrading from traditional cars to intelligent cars, technological innovation also faces huge challenges and revolutions. For traditional car manufacturers, they want to keep up with the tide of industrial intelligent transformation, but also are limited by the lack of Internet and related technology reserves. Therefore, combining the mature technology and mass production experience of B-end manufacturers with AI technology of leading AI enterprises can achieve a smoother and more stable product landing. Through repeated iterations of technology, AI has made real breakthroughs and innovations. Turning to the next development direction of the industry, Li Xiafeng, general manager of Cloud Security Industry Department, said that the next stage is from "perception" to "cognition". In the "cognitive" stage, AI can transform passivity into initiative, which is a leap from post-processing to ex ante defense.

How do start-ups catch AI intelligent talents? Since the concept of "artificial intelligence" was proposed at the Dartmouth Conference in 1956, more than 60 years of technological development has attracted the attention of many professionals. Especially in recent years, AI has shown a hot trend in many countries and regions around the world. Google, Facebook, IBM, BAT, iFLYTEK and other powerful technology companies at home and abroad actively promote the landing of AI business applications, and some start-ups have sprung up. But at the same time, AI based intelligent talents have also become the focus of the industry. According to the Report on the Development of China's Artificial Intelligence released by Tsinghua University last June, China ranks first in the world in terms of the total number of papers and the number of highly cited papers. China has become the country with the largest distribution of AI patents in the world; In terms of financial investment, China's investment and financing in the field of artificial intelligence accounted for 60% of the world, becoming the world's most "gold sucking" country. However, in terms of top AI talents, China has a relatively low proportion (ranking in the order of the United States, Britain, Germany, France, Italy and China). Especially outside the AI application layer, The importance of relevant talents at AI basic resource level and technical architecture level has been paid close attention by the industry. For start-ups, when dealing with the market competition brought by technology giants, how to grasp and cultivate AI talents at the level of basic resources and technology architecture is particularly critical. Technical talents should be placed first in entrepreneurship "By 2025, AI will be everywhere. Every company should have AI, but the first thing to solve is to provide enough talents. " When the chairman and CEO of Innovation Works talked about the four cycles of AI development experience to media including People's Network Venture Capital Channel not long ago, he said that the first cycle was AI technology R&D around 2012, the second cycle was AI+industry development around 2017, and the third cycle was entering the stage of "AI+traditional companies" around 2020, Around 2025, it will be the fourth cycle of AI everywhere. Coincidentally, during the entrepreneurial practice, Huajie Amy CTO Wang Xing and the team realized that the core problem of realizing MR was not hardware products, but core algorithms and talents in the process of project research and development. He recently told the People's Daily Online VC Channel that the reason why AI core algorithms and related talents are placed first in enterprises is actually "forced to do nothing". In 2010, when Huajie Amy, which focuses on the R&D and manufacturing of AR somatosensory computer interaction and artificial intelligence, was just founded, Li Li, the chairman of the board, saw Microsoft's Kinect and thought that it might be the core of the next generation of consumer electronics - both the human-computer interaction technology it shows, and the experience in the operation process. However, it was not easy to actually implement Kinect technology later, but rather very complex. " Wang recalled that "this actually involves the core algorithm technology, and the algorithm and software added value contained in the hardware products are far more than the entities carried by the products." Wang told People's Network Venture Capital Channel that in the process of founding Huajie Amy, he deeply realized the importance of algorithms and technology, so they began to focus on depth measurement The layout of skeleton tracking and intelligent SLAM talents has continued until now. Strengthen education and training, and gradually move towards the high-end In March 2019, the relevant approval document of the Ministry of Education showed that this year, a total of 35 colleges and universities across the country won the first batch of "artificial intelligence" new professional construction qualifications. The cultivation of AI related talents has further entered the stage of basic education. Tuo Hua, the founder of Luoshi Robot, said that the control system of Luoshi Robot was independently developed by the team, which mainly relied on the gathering of a large number of control algorithm talents. But Tuo Hua also said frankly that, There is still a large gap for AI and other core technical talents in intelligent manufacturing, especially in the field of robot application. "With the realization of independent research and development of the control system, Luoshi Robot can do more secondary development at the software level in the face of many special needs. Because of this, the market puts forward more demands for Luoshi Robot, which also gives rise to a large number of talents' thirst for Luoshi Robot." For this reason, in addition to increasing recruitment efforts, It also adopted its own way of cultivating talents, that is, setting up Luoshi College to cultivate "internal and external" technical talents. Internally, Luoshi College teaches the operating system of robot products to the technical personnel of technical sales and integrated projects that provide overall production solutions for customers. External training is to train customers according to their usage habits and characteristics of their own robot products, so as to improve their practical application technology. On the other hand, the shortage of core algorithm talents is the low cost of intelligent technical talents at the same level. Li Houmin, who founded UNIZ Technology, a 3D printer manufacturer in the United States, and set up an internal independent R&D technology team in Beijing. In his opinion, the lower cost of employment in China than in the United States and other regions is one of the advantages of many AI and other intelligent manufacturing enterprises in China, However, he felt that the domestic capital market was not enthusiastic enough to invest in domestic 3D printing enterprises. "Around 2013 and 2014, 3D printing start-ups have sprung up like mushrooms, but there are not many enterprises with solid original ability and core competitiveness in technology. Most of them use foreign technology to make 3D printers, and few of them have survived to the present." Li Houmin said that technical talents such as artificial intelligence should be the core "assets" of start-ups, It is also the main competitiveness to attract investment in the current capital winter. As an investor focusing on the AI field, Xiao Ran, a partner of Deloitte Capital, also confessed to the People's Daily Venture Channel that in the process of exploring AI related entrepreneurial projects, he found that the current situation of domestic AI enterprises was at the basic stage of development. In his view, the extreme layout of start-ups at the software level and algorithm level is actually an opportunity for enterprises to overtake at corners, and is also the "foundation" for enterprises to sell their final chips and other products to the outside world. However, for start-ups, it is difficult to make a breakthrough at the level of general software to compete with technology giants in application products. However, if core algorithms are used as a breakthrough, it is still possible to catch up with giants through the accumulation of original technologies in this area.
