By carrying "AI (Artificial Intelligence) Adaptive Patrol Technology", the UAV is equipped with "brain" to truly realize "independent decision-making" patrol; Through robots, the Internet of Things, scheduling algorithms and other precise control over the movement of the charging gun to the designated parking space, assist the owner to quickly charge, and achieve the goal from "finding a car pile" to "finding a car pile"; When the engineering vehicle is speeding or turning at the intersection, the AI system will timely sense and automatically slow down, so as to reduce the probability of traffic accidents

At present, driven by technology, demand, policy and other factors, Nanjing AI is integrating into thousands of industries, implementing the "just needed scenario", promoting transformation and upgrading, and becoming an important engine for the development of new quality productivity.

Equip machines with "brains" to accelerate the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry

On February 29, in the assembly workshop of the provincial intelligent manufacturing demonstration workshop of Nanjing Chang'an Automobile, AGV (unmanned handling robot) material trolleys shuttled back and forth on the line to deliver materials to each process section. Not long ago, the workshop was rated as "National 5G Factory". With AI enabled, the company produced nearly 100000 complete vehicles last year, with an output value of more than 10 billion yuan, becoming the first enterprise in Lishui with an output value of more than 10 billion yuan.

In Nanjing, traditional industries are becoming the main battlefield of artificial intelligence. From the widely used visual inspection to the burgeoning intelligent manufacturing, AI has found its own stage to show its strength.

In the process of automobile production, if the defects such as pits, pockmarks, hidden cracks and dirt on the surface of parts are not detected in time, the assembled automobile will be unqualified. Now, with AI, Nanjing Yunchuang big data's "WitIndustry cutting-edge industrial intelligence platform" can solve the problem of surface defect detection of automobile body, stamping parts, wheel hubs, engine pistons, stamping dies, lithium batteries and other surface defects in less than 50 seconds per piece, and detect the color difference and defects of color coated aluminum plates, And industrial robot collaborative work optimization.

In the west, the distribution network UAV adaptive patrol technology, which was developed with the participation of Zhongke Fangcun Zhiwei (Nanjing) Technology Co., Ltd., comprehensively applies a variety of lightweight artificial intelligence algorithms to equip the UAV with a "brain", enabling the UAV to achieve "automatic driving" for distribution network lines through visual navigation, It enables UAVs to carry out independent inspection of power distribution lines on vast land and ensure the safe and reliable operation of power distribution network lines.

With AI as the enabling tool, traditional industries are accelerating to complete intelligent transformation and digital transformation.

Video generation makes ancient poetry "live", and AI is integrated into thousands of industries

The application of AI in commercial marketing, cultural creativity and other fields also deserves attention.

On February 28, Lu Yi, the general manager of the product design center of Made in China, was demonstrating the "new skills" of "AI foreign trade assistant" in Nanjing local enterprise Focus Technology.

Input "dusty construction site, hot sun", and the big model will give a picture of the product application scene of "an excavator is operating on the construction site in the sun" in a few seconds; Enter the product keywords, provide a basic video material, and the system will process it, and the English video of product introduction will be generated. An English digital person anchor will introduce the product online... At the beginning of February, the China Manufacturing Network under Focus Technology announced that the AI foreign trade assistant AI Michael created for Chinese foreign trade enterprises will update and iterate again, and launch video generation, intelligent layout The three functions of industry intelligence, through in-depth integration of AI technology, greatly improve the working efficiency of foreign traders and make the "grass planting" of cross-border e-commerce easier.

When users input keywords or descriptions, AI Michael will also generate a high-quality copy for them, making the video content richer and more attractive. Users can select the appropriate "digital human narrator" from nearly 20 kinds of virtual human images, introduce the product in pure English with subtitles, and finally generate the product video for users to reuse in multiple scenarios.

More and more Nanjing enterprises realize that AI video generation will be the next outlet for AI applications. Cloud Bat Intelligence, an enterprise in Nanjing Economic Development Zone, has shifted the focus of research and development of digital people from "intelligent customer service" at the audio end to the video end. In August 2023, the digital human video will be officially launched, and has been updated to version 2.0 iteratively.

"Stones pierce the air, waves dash the shore, and thousands of piles of snow..." In a Chinese class at Nanjing Lixing Primary School, with the appearance of this poem, the video played on the screen shows that the stones stand on the wall, towering into the clouds, and the waves rolled up gradually surge up, like thousands of heavy snow waves. The AI aesthetic education software "aura regeneration" under Nanjing Toshi Technology enables ancient poetry to "walk" out of books and become video that can be seen, heard and "live" in traditional culture, and the millennium poetry will glow with new brilliance under the blessing of new technology.

In Nanjing Silicon Based Intelligence, AI is trying to speed up the distance from script to play. At present, the company is developing digital entertainment. The customer sends a script and can shoot a play on the same day through AI.

Implement the "rigid demand scenario" and produce "industrial results"

In Nanjing, batches of AI technology application scenarios emerge in endlessly. Massive application scenarios have become a high-quality "experimental field" for the development of artificial intelligence in Nanjing, where a large number of new technologies, new applications and new breakthroughs are "growing".

In the list of "Top 20 cities with comprehensive strength in China's artificial intelligence industry" released by Enterprise Check, Nanjing has entered the top ten; 12 students from Nanjing University were listed as the world's most influential AI scholars in 2022; Nanjing Jinling Middle School Experimental Primary School was selected into the list of artificial intelligence education bases for primary and secondary schools by the Ministry of Education

Nanjing has frequently been listed on the AI industry related lists, which is inseparable from its "first hand" in the AI industry to grasp the trend and fight the "initiative".

"The development level of the artificial intelligence industry in Nanjing ranks first in the country." Pu Songtao, deputy director of the Institute of Informatization and Software Industry of CCID Research Institute, said that artificial intelligence has become the industry with the broadest prospect and fiercest competition. The vigorous development of the artificial intelligence industry in Nanjing is by no means overnight.

In recent years, the Nanjing Municipal Government has issued a number of plans and measures, and has taken the new generation of AI as one of the six new industrial tracks in the future in the construction of a strong industrial city. The "First Session of the Spring Festival" held not long ago also proposed to break through the AI industry, seize the new wave of big models, build an algorithm city, strengthen enabling applications, and build a high standard AI innovation application pilot area.

Policy guidance and industrial takeoff. The Yangtze River Delta Center of the International Association of Artificial Intelligence Industries has taken root and sprouted. China (Nanjing) Smart Valley and China (Nanjing) Software Park have begun to take shape. Nanjing Kunpeng Shengteng Artificial Intelligence Computing Center and Turing Artificial Intelligence Research Institute have flourished. A group of outstanding local AI enterprises represented by Yijiahe, Xiaoshi Technology and Aston are accelerating their growth.

Industry experts generally believe that artificial intelligence research and development has high threshold and great difficulty. Only by truly integrating into thousands of industries, solving the "just need" of industrial development, and allowing the industry to reap value from AI, can sustainable development be achieved.

"The application scenario is a breakthrough in the industrialization of innovative technology." Zhang Xiaodong, president of Jiangsu Agile Innovation Economic Management Research Institute, said that artificial intelligence is an interdisciplinary discipline with high professional threshold. Achieving commercial profitability requires a long incubation period as well as cross industry collaboration. Thanks to the development and construction of application scenarios, Nanjing's AI industry has formed a full coverage pattern of "basic support layer, technical product layer and application demonstration layer", which has crossed the critical point of "chicken laying eggs, egg laying chicken" development and stood on the wind.
