Conversational AI in the U.S. Market
North America, and the U.S., in particular, are leading in terms of adoption of enterprise intelligent virtual agents and conversational AI technology, in general. Multiple independent studies have shown that people in the U.S. are comfortable with interacting with a bot instead of a human, which explains the growing interest in interacting with a virtual agent for quick resolution of issues.
In addition, with the developments in conversational AI solutions, there is specific focus on how and when calls can be transferred to a human agent. The number of generic queries that can be answered by an intelligent conversation solution has increased, and includes resolving a problem, getting detailed answers, finding a human assistant, making a reservation or paying an invoice.
As conversational AI solutions learn to better discern user intent, clients are experimenting to implement them in additional use cases. Banking and financial institutes and enterprises are leading in terms of implementing conversational AI solutions, and users prefer to leverage such solutions for common issues. As the level of confidence in dealing with conversational AI solutions increases and vendors improve on their solutions, the market is expected to see a boom in the near future.
According to the report, Artificial Solutions has a highly attractive product and service offering and a very strong market and competitive position inside the Conversational AI market.

But what are the biggest obstacles for achieving productivity within Conversational AI?

https://www.artificial-solutions.com/blog/the-biggest-barriers-to-achieving-productivity-within-conversational-ai
November 15, 2021
According to Gartner, the main challenges in achieving successful Conversational AI implementations
https://www.gartner.com/en/documents/3995314
revolve around:
integrations, ongoing AI model training and language expansion, unrealistic expectations, and solution deployment.
Let’s break these down into categories and explore further.
1. Integrations with enterprise systems and data sources are one of the most common challenges that organizations face to achieve business value. The sophistication of solutions can vary significantly depending on the domain and the use case, and some factors add complexity to these solutions are frontend and backend integrations, omnichannel support, data analytics and BI integrations, among others.
Backend connectors are a clear way to support easy integration that save valuable time and resources. With this in mind, Gartner recently ranked Artificial Solutions as a Tech Innovator in CAI because their “enterprise conversational AI platform, Teneo, uses Teneo connectors to support easy integration with any back-office technology and enterprise applications, including SAP, Salesforce, support systems and RPA platforms, such as Blue Prism and UiPath.
Gartner
https://www.gartner.com/en/documents/4003274-emerging-technologies-top-business-value-patterns-in-advanced-virtual-assistant-adoption
highlights that “this is a practical innovation that will reduce time to value around conversational agent investments for organizations. “As of today, Teneo offers over 35 pre-built frontend and backend connectors. In addition to this, Teneo, with its Java-based platform and the integrated developers’ sandbox for advanced coding (the Integration Manager), has no restrictions whatsoever on external integrations.
2. Low scalability – organizations operating across multiple regions face a challenge in providing conversational experiences with new functionality, such as an added language. This means that you may need to start from scratch every time ongoing AI model training and language expansion is required.
Going from an interaction with simple questions and answers to complex and contextual goal-driven conversations requires additional training data and dialogue design, which?overlaps?and supersedes?the simple implementation.
Furthermore, as per Gartner, “in organizations operating across multiple geographies, handling multilingual queries can still be a difficult issue.” And this is precisely where Teneo excels, with proven, complex global multilingual rollouts around the world. Teneo’s Localization capabilities
https://documentation.artificial-solutions.com/latest/#/knowledge-base/solution/localization-setup
(which are explored in detail in this Webinar)
https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/17594/495696
allow enterprises to handle multilingual implementations easily. With Teneo it is possible to have an original implementation in one language (in any of the 86 languages currently supported by the platform)
https://developers.artificial-solutions.com/technology/languages
and be able to launch another solution in a different language, typically reusing about 80% of the original components, with no need to start from scratch.
In Gartner’s own words:
”Teneo Master/Local Multilingual implementations … enable rapid rollout and scaling of multilingual solutions, as well as efficiency of maintenance and consistent quality experience for users.”
3. It simply takes too long. “While a case can be made for each, we contend that implementation lags are probably the biggest contributor to the paradox,” Brynjolfsson, Rock and Syverson state in their aforementioned paper. Quick implementations for advanced VAs and CAI projects are a well-known issue. There’s not only selecting the right expertise, training internal employees and developers, but also dealing with architectural and deployment challenges. And yet, here we have Swisscom
https://vux.world/scaling-conversational-ai-with-roger-dill-swisscom-and-per-ottosson-artificial-solutions/
and Circle K
https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/17594/420958
overtly attesting to Teneo’s versatility, modularity and immense adaptability, supporting complex architectures, integrating with different backend systems and data sources, leveraging deep learning models for Natural Language Understanding purposes, helping customers through voice in several languages (can you imagine the challenges integrating with 5 different STT models and TTS languages?) and across different channels… All in record-time implementations for both enterprises. Simply put: “with Teneo, you can.”
The AI and productivity paradox may not be solved soon, but you can choose the right tools to help Conversational AI

bloom. Our main recommendation is: Be wise, choose wisely. The success of your CAI project starts with selecting the right platform. You find extremely valuable insights on how to do that in this blogpost

Teneo’s advanced hybrid linguistic approach and the large volume of languages and dialects supported (86), are key differentiators in the market.[/color]
Analysists from ISG said:
“Artificial Solutions’ hybrid approach to map linguistic and ML capabilities in the business context helps identify customer intent with high accuracy and is a key differentiator.”
Teneo focuses on applicability in enterprise context, not just by leveraging machine learning (ML) or linguistic approach alone, but rather by taking a hybrid approach that provides meaningful context for regular linguistic actions. Furthermore, the platform also enables enterprises to connect back-end processes, channels, and systems for meaningful interactions.
Nicolas Köllerstedt, CRO of Artificial Solutions, commented: “We feel honored to be recognized as leaders and industry innovators in this region; Germany is a key market for us, and we look forward to helping our customers create value and improve their productivity.”
Artificial Solutions has an open modular approach to cater for the different needs of developers. Earlier this year, Artificial Solutions announced the availability of Teneo within the Azure marketplace, which enables the Microsoft customer base to integrate conversational AI solutions within their enterprise. With LUIS^Teneo, a free SaaS-based development suite and bot engine using Microsoft LUIS, developers can rapidly build a prototype and then scale these solutions for high volumes, across multiple channels and languages.

Telehealth seems to be going strong with no signs of slowing down in the post-pandemic era. As telehealth companies develop programs to support online care, insurance companies like Humana have developed affordable healthcare plans for those seeking online healthcare. In addition to supporting telehealth, these companies are seeing an increase in the adoption of digital healthcare and cost savings associated with the same. Meanwhile, telehealth companies such as CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV: DOC) (OTCPK: DOCRF), Veeva Systems, Inc. (NYSE: VEEV), 1LifeHealthcare, Inc. (NASDAQ: ONEM), Teladoc Health (NYSE: TDOC), and Allscripts Healthcare Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: MDRX) are engaging in various initiatives to make digital healthcare available to more patients and tap into the market opportunities telehealth creates.
CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV: DOC) (OTC: DOCRF) has continued to expand its reach across North America and beyond via strategic acquisitions. On November 15, CloudMD announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire MindBeacon, one of North America's leading clinically-validated iCBT solutions. MindBeacon's platform provides a cost-effective, stigma-reducing avenue to deliver mental health therapy that will complement CloudMD's holistic, integrated solution. MindBeacon, which has established relationships across B2C and B2B distribution channels, has delivered very positive outcomes, with 82% of iCBT clients reporting self-improvement in mental health, and 67% reporting clinically significant improvement.
CloudMD's combined digital health platform is expected to be one of North America's leading fully-integrated health offerings, with a clinically-validated, broad continuum of care to address mild, moderate, acute and chronic mental and physical care.
"MindBeacon's mental health services and iCBT platform adds another important capability to our robust healthcare ecosystem and further positions us with a leading, clinically-validated mental health solution," said Dr. Essam Hamza, CEO of CloudMD.

By uniting traditionally siloed care, we are able to better leverage data to inform and provide improved patient outcomes.
Once the acquisition is closed, CloudMD expects to have an annualized revenue run rate of $185 million and gross margin of approximately 35%.
Earlier this month, CloudMD Software & Services Inc. announced a partnership with Apotex Latinoamerica to provide access to its database of educational resources across Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, and Nicaragua. Apotex, which has focused on improving the health and well-being of patients in Latin America for 25 years will provide CloudMD's flagship IMD platform with more than 5,600 medical topics and more than 110,000 resources in simple-to-use formats and multiple languages (Spanish is the core language) to educate healthcare professionals and patients about various health conditions.
Through the partnership with CloudMD, patients and healthcare providers will have access to peer-reviewed and trustworthy healthcare resources to support them through the healthcare journey.
The partnership between the two companies will rely on the integration into Apotex's physician web portal and integration into a public-facing web portal.
CloudMD also received US patent approval for its proprietary Real-Time Intervention platform (RTIP). The company's RTIP technology connects and integrates CloudMD's capabilities and supports all points of patient care through a single platform. The technology also allows data sharing across caregivers to provide a holistic approach to patient care.

November 13, 2021 19:31 Economic Observer
Economic Observer.com reporter Zou Yongqin Huawei's "Digital Intelligence Innovation" has made another new move.
On November 11th, the 2021 Huawei Technical Service Partner Conference was held at Huawei Sanyapo, Dongguan. At the conference that day, Huawei released the industrial park management system M+ Pro, the integrated service delivery platform ISDP+ and the digital robot WeAutomate 3.0,
https://www.huawei.com/cn/news/2021/11/huawei-gts-partnership-developer-platform
three new products and new functions of Huawei's global technology service digital intelligence platform, which attracted market attention.
At the same time, Huawei Global Technical Services (GTS) also shared with partners the evolution of its platform technology and product capabilities, and exchanged industry best practices and commercial results. During the period, Tang Qibing, president of Huawei's global technical service department, said that he hopes to complete the construction of the partner ecosystem in 3 to 5 years.
Empowering the digital transformation of thousands of industries.
At the conference, Tang Qibing, President of Huawei’s Global Technical Services Department, said that Huawei’s GTS is based on services, with digital intelligence as its core capabilities, and continues to develop and innovate. He emphasized,
“We build a digital intelligence platform based on cloud native, and continuously invest more than 1,500 R&D personnel every year to improve and upgrade platform capabilities. At present, the platform has integrated the latest technological capabilities such as multi-cloud adaptation, big data, intelligence, and low code. , And by sharing many cutting-edge technologies of Huawei’s Noah and Riemann Labs, it provides high efficiency, high performance and security capabilities for the products developed on the platform."
At the first technical service partner conference held in December last year, Tang Qibing proposed for the first time to open up platforms and capabilities to partners, relying on the cooperation system to help enable the digital transformation of the industry; Abundant practical experience, excellent platform and tool system, etc., all empower thousands of industries."
At this conference, Tang Qibing once again started from "enabling thousands of industries". He pointed out that thousands of industries are facing a very complex situation with many changing scenarios. With today’s business model and development model, Huawei cannot meet the needs of these industries; “So, since last year, our GTS has made up our minds. We must open up our capabilities. To whom? Open to our partnerships, open to our ecology. After all, Huawei GTS has its own unique advantages in the development of the ecology and the enabling of partners.”
Tang Qibing said that every success of Huawei's service is inseparable from the joint efforts of partners, and every investment of partners is to complement and empower Huawei GTS; "In fact, we and our partners complement each other. Huawei’s service system was established in 1995. In the past nearly 30 years, we have always adhered to this path.”
According to data, Huawei GTS was established in 1995, and its growth process can be divided into three stages:
- 1995-2016, relying on network technology service capabilities, serving more than 170 countries around the world, and more than 1,500 operator networks ;
- From 2017 to 2019, relying on the platform technology service capability (also known as Digital GTS), the digital platform serves global operators;
- from 2020 to now, it will shape the service capabilities of digital intelligence assets and build a "digital intelligence platform + Partner + Operation" system to create and operate scenario-based digital assets in the industry.
Tang Qibing emphasized that at this stage, Huawei GTS will be driven by digital transformation, continue to enrich products and assets, enable partners to succeed in business, and win together with partners in the digital transformation market of thousands of industries; The method cannot be done by ourselves alone, but by building the entire industrial system with our partners. Because we know that you are the one who understands thousands of households the most! This is how we want to take the road of partnership and the road of channels. The reason for taking the ecological road. Of course, we have the ambition and determination to make this industry bigger; but whether it can succeed depends on everyone's participation and active cooperation."
Tang Qibing pointed out that he hopes to make it successful in three to five years. "Everyone knows that in Huawei's ecosystem, there are Huawei Cloud and consumer cloud services. We hope to show everyone that our GTS is doing the ecological and digitalization of the software coverage industry. We are also very successful. Yes, and we will think about this problem from a system perspective. I believe that with our close cooperation in many ways, we will definitely be on the road of digital transformation in the country and in the future software-defined industries, and we will have our wonderful Figure, and complete the common development vision here . "
Following the launch of Huawei's digital intelligence platform and its 8 major orchestration capabilities last year, this year Huawei launched a new one-stop, low-threshold, high-performance data and intelligent service engine. At the same time, a low-code integrated development and operation system has been opened to partners. The system integrates Huawei's years of safe and reliable management capabilities to support industry partners to quickly improve R&D levels, create higher-quality enterprise-level products, and help customers achieve digital transformation.
Among them, the most representative ones are the three new products and new functions of Huawei's global technology service digital intelligence platform,
- including the industrial park management system M+ Pro,
- the integrated service delivery platform ISDP+
- and the digital robot WeAutomate 3.0 released at the conference that day. These three new products have also won unanimous praise from partners.
The core positioning of Huawei's industrial park management system M+ Pro is "Intelligent Connectivity + Intelligence", supporting the Internet of Everything with "Intelligent Connectivity" and helping enterprises to digitize their production with "Intelligence". For M+ Pro, Huawei GTS has obviously attached great importance to it.
Many companies have embraced the Huawei ecosystem.
In fact, M+ Pro has completed capacity building with industry partners in steel, port and other companies, and has been highly recognized by customers and industry partners.
At the forum after the meeting, Jiao Lianyu of ChinaSoft International stated that ChinaSoft International, as a strategic partner of Huawei, has launched a comprehensive cooperation with Huawei's digital intelligence platform Cloud in the field of 5GtoB, relying on ChinaSoft International's integrated service advantages in various industries and Huawei M+ Pro With its powerful and rich installation capabilities and low-code platform advantages, with Liugang project cooperation as an opportunity, it provides customers with a variety of applications in the automation and machine vision industries in the manufacturing field. Demonstration effect.
Liu Yan of Shenzhen Fujing Technology pointed out that Shenzhen Fujing Technology and Huawei have relied on the high-efficiency low-code platform of Huawei's digital intelligence platform in the construction of the intelligent financial sharing project of the Ansteel Group Financial Sharing Center to integrate the models and services in the traditional application development. , Interface, and interface development have realized low-code or even no-code, provided a wealth of WEB and mobile components, and used the digital intelligence platform RPA+AI technology to quickly tailor the financial intelligence reimbursement system and accounting file electronics for Angang’s customers The filing system effectively improves the efficiency of financial shared services, creates a new financial shared service model of human-computer collaboration, and supports Angang to better promote digital transformation.
In this regard, Tang Qibing said that in the digital transformation, the coexistence and win-win of partners and long-term benefits are the key elements for the success of the entire ecosystem. Huawei GTS adheres to its promise of "opening up capabilities and keeping boundaries" and fulfilling its promise of "reserving the simplicity to customers and partners, and leaving the complexity to itself", so that partners can gain greater benefits in the digital transformation of the big market.
In fact, looking back on the year of 2021 (as of November 11), the development of Huawei's digital intelligence platform and industry partners has shown a strong growth momentum. Among them, more than 200 solution partners and more than 32,000 developers have been newly developed. And newly developed more than 10 new platform capabilities and newly provided more than 2,000 new assets.
In the awards list of the 2021 Excellent Partner and Developer Competition at the conference that day, the reporter found that many well-known companies have emerged among them. What do they think of Huawei's GTS strategy of "building an ecosystem and a win-win future"?
In this regard, Wang Lintao of Futaihua Industrial (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. said at the forum after the meeting that the world is now in the midst of a new generation of industrial revolution. Among them, the international industry is Industry 4.0 (for example, the United Kingdom 2050, Japan promotes the industrial Internet). And we are made in China 2025 (manufacturing power, digital power, building network power, etc.).
Wang Lintao said that through generalization, it can be found that the new generation of industrial revolution is actually a deep integration of a new generation of information technology and industry; "This is a big opportunity for us to cooperate with Huawei. To borrow a word from Huawei, "Two companies (Referring to Huawei and Foxconn) are not just the world's top 500'; Huawei is a well-deserved leader in the field of information technology and has strong R&D capabilities; and Foxconn has more than 40 years of accumulated experience in the manufacturing industry and has an extremely large industrial application scenario. ; The strong cooperation between the two can realize the combination of software and the combination of reality and reality. Therefore, we hope that through cooperation with Huawei, the two sides can build a smart world with all things connected."

In 2021 , the AR/VR industry will take off again, with major giants betting that AR terminals will become mainstream in the future. Facebook founder Zuckerberg said that the development of the underlying AR technology is the top priority in building the next-generation computing platform. With the continuous iterative upgrade of AR terminals, the transformation and upgrading journey of the traditional Internet to the spatial Internet has already begun.
The highlight of VR is games, but AR is not that simple.
The AR terminal has always been regarded as the port product of the next-generation computing platform, and it may become the next mobile digital product that subverts mobile phones. Although there is still a long way to go in terms of hardware and ecological construction before AR glasses can completely replace mobile phones, the recent actions of major domestic and foreign manufacturers frequently indicate that the time has come.
It is understood that behind the AR terminal is a complex and complex content ecological use scene. The target is the ecological status quo under the iOS and Android systems. The technology behind the technology is more ecological construction and the creation of a new C-side business model. This is also Domestic and foreign companies such as Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, etc. have not yet determined the reason for the final AR consumer-level terminal form.
With big factories vacillating, the public's attention to the AR consumer-level field has been increasing year by year in recent years. From the movies "Top Player" and "Out of Control Player" to the popularity of the meta-universe concept in "Avalanche", it is not difficult to see that the time for consumer AR has come.
And AR/VR is the key to the meta-universe world. The hot topic of “meta-universe” has recently exploded, let us re-understand what is meta-universe, whether it is software applications or hardware manufacturers do not want to miss the meta-universe. tuyere.
"Meta universe" has become a hot new concept, not accidentally, but determined by a series of factors.
From the perspective of social factors, the coronavirus epidemic that began in 2020 has accelerated the speed of digital migration in human society and also accelerated the arrival of the "meta universe" era.
Terminal giants love AR.
Cook's love and determination for AR technology has been seen in the previous years.
In the past few years at least five years, he has repeatedly expressed the profound significance of AR technology on different occasions, but the outside world has not seen the presentation of very mature related technologies, and Apple is promoting the construction of AR developer platform year by year. .
He once said, "I think of AR as I think of the chip in the iPhone. It is not a product itself, but a core technology."
To this end, Apple has successively acquired companies involving core technologies such as sensors and displays. In 2017, Apple launched the ARKit development platform, but has not really shown related hardware products since then. At present, Apple has invested a research and development team of nearly 1,000 people to explore this new field. Both iPhone and iPad can use corresponding AR functions, and mature and complete AR/VR products are on the horizon. According to reports, supply chain sources claim that Apple's first AR headset has completed P2 (the second phase of prototype testing) and is expected to be mass-produced in the second quarter of 2022, and is expected to be launched in the second half of the same year.
Both OPPO and vivo have also invested heavily in AR glasses. During the previous MWC, both have shown related products. Vivo previously focused on office application scenarios; OPPO considered the use of AR glasses to replace giant movie screens, and launched an AR developer co-creation plan. Xiaomi recently launched its first smart glasses product concept, and its application scenarios include navigation, taking pictures, and real-time translation.
According to the Wisdom Bud global patent database, as of September 16, Huawei, OPPO, vivo, Xiaomi, and Apple's five mobile phone companies and their affiliates have all made patent arrangements in the AR field. Through further observation and analysis of the patents of various terminal giants, it can be seen that the current technical layout of the AR field among manufacturers has their own focus:
Huawei mainly focuses on communication technology, artificial intelligence, decoders, data transmission, etc.; OPPO mainly focuses on image processing, display screens, cameras, head-mounted devices, etc.; vivo mainly focuses on communication technology, wearable devices, cameras, display methods, etc. ; Xiaomi mainly focuses on communication technology, data transmission, display screens, message frames, etc.; Apple mainly focuses on displays, sensors, headsets, virtual objects, etc.
According to reports, WiMi Hologram (WIMI.US), a Nasdaq-listed company, has also been working on this AR track for many years. According to public information, WiMi Hologram was established in 2015 and has been committed to promoting the prosperity of 5G+AR ecological content. WiMi Hologram is currently the leading holographic enterprise in China. After six years of development, it has established a relatively complete holographic technology research and development system, holographic content production and storage system, and holographic commercialization system. Recently released a new AR head-mounted display (HMD)-"WiMi HoloAR Lens", which laid the foundation for entering the meta universe market.
On the whole, AR is also a member of the current “meta universe” concept, and it is expected that MR, which includes many converging technologies such as AR and VR, will become a trend.
Essence Securities believes that the disruptive revolution brought about by the first wave of computers will repeat itself in the VR/AR era. VR/AR will be the next generation of consumer-grade computer technology products after PC computers and smart phones, and its product form will be Follow a similar development route from PC computers (VR/AR head-mounted displays, referred to as head-mounted displays) to smart phones (smart VR/AR glasses).
According to statistics, more than 20 domestic AR/VR companies received financing in the first half of the year. IDC predicts that China's AR market will grow by 68% in the next five years. The global AR market is expected to reach 30.7 billion U.S. dollars by 2021 and close to 300 billion U.S. dollars by 2024.
According to Digitimes reports, an AR headset from Apple will be released as soon as the first quarter of next year. At that time, AR may usher in a blowout development on the C side.
A new technology cycle of Metaverse has begun, Are you ready?

2021-11-16 16:50 HKT
Recently, meta-universe-related topics have quickly broken the circle, and the market has attracted a lot of attention, and it has become a hot topic in the technology circle and capital circle. On October 29, 2021, Facebook announced that the company's name was changed to Meta, which further promoted meta-universe. Climax.
As a carrier of the integration of the virtual world and the real world, Metaverse contains huge opportunities for the transformation of social, content, games, office and other scenes.
So, what exactly is the metaverse? What is the current state of the metaverse? What will be the future development trend of the metaverse?
What is meta universe.
Metaverse is a broad term that first appeared in the science fiction novel "Avalanche" by American writer Neil Stephenson in 1992. The novel depicts a virtual digital world parallel to the real world-"Metaworld". People in the real world have a virtual clone in the "metaworld", and people compete with each other to improve their status by controlling this virtual clone.
In fact, at present, there is no recognized authoritative definition of the meta universe. Here, we quote the views of Professor Shenyang from the School of Journalism and Communication of Tsinghua University, “Metacosm is a new type of Internet application and social form that integrates multiple new technologies and integrates reality and reality. It provides immersive experience based on extended reality technology, and Digital twin technology generates a mirror image of the real world, builds an economic system through blockchain technology, closely integrates the virtual world and the real world in the economic system, social system, and identity system, and allows each user to produce and edit content."
In layman's terms, meta-universe refers to a shared virtual world environment that people can access through the Internet, and refers to a digital space that becomes more realistic through the use of virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR).
The development status of meta universe.
Global technology giants are deploying meta-universe related industries.
At present, the global technology giants are making frequent moves, and have successively deployed Metaverse related fields and industries from various directions, exploring development possibilities, and are expected to further promote the gradual development of the industry.

The meta universe has gradually penetrated, and virtual idols have become a trend.
With the great fire of the meta universe, companies building their own virtual idols and acting as brand spokespersons have become a trend that cannot be ignored. For example, in May of this year, the virtual spokesperson Zoe displayed by Nestlé Coffee in its promotional video; Watsons launched Qu Chenxi, Harbin Beer launched Harbin, L'Oreal launched M sister, Huaxizi virtual spokesperson of the same name Huaxizi and so on.
However, the most popular at the moment is the super-realistic digital person AYAYI.
AYAYI made its debut in Xiaohongshu. The first post was read by nearly 3 million, and its fans gained nearly 40,000 overnight. Only the first picture has received 110,000 likes and 14,000 favorites so far.
Driven by the concept of meta universe, virtual idols represented by Liu Yexi are becoming a new entrance to the entertainment track.
Recently, the virtual person Mei Setian released the first virtual person talk show "Med Talk" on the Tencent news platform; iQiyi virtual idol Xiao Molly played the dream version of Liu in the modern urban romantic drama "Dream of Lions" Xi Chan, Jiangsu Satellite TV has launched the "Original Animation Image Stage Competition Show" "2060"; Xiao Yang, the virtual host of the independent research and development of Hunan Radio and Television Laboratory, will join the host family of the upgraded "Happy Camp"...
Not only in the field of variety shows, in the context of the explosion of short and medium videos, virtual AI internet celebrities have also become the new favorites in the KOL field.
Recently, Juhuasuan 10 billion subsidies and six business divisions of Alibaba Group jointly launched the first two-dimensional virtual idol group IP-Juhuasuan 10 billion subsidies and price comparison Tian Tuan; Xiaohongshu launched the "Trend Digital Era" plan layout The virtual idol matrix has more than 20 virtual idols including Reddi, dimma, ALice, and Axi Angie. Station B is the largest virtual anchor platform in China. At present, it has 32,412 virtual anchors and idols, and more than 4,000 virtual anchors start broadcasting every month.
Whether it is variety shows, film and television dramas, brand marketing or live streaming, the application scenarios of virtual anchors are becoming more and more extensive.
Of course, at present, the scene applications of these virtual idols, super-realistic digital people, and virtual anchors are still in their infancy. Communication with consumers still relies on audio-visual media such as pictures and videos. Platforms such as Yin and Xiaohongshu watched them like celebrities.
However, once the meta universe comes, they can establish face-to-face, zero-distance social interactions with consumers, and interact with fans at any time. Its power is huge, and it may become the key to brand communication and user relationship establishment in the future. Therefore, brands and companies that want to deploy Metaverse should now consider creating their own virtual idols.
On the afternoon of November 10, the “Cross-boundary Integration in the Meta-Universe Era” summit forum was held on the tenth floor of Shanghai Fengyuzhu Building. The forum invited representatives from domestic Internet, technology, finance and other industries to attend. Focusing on current hot topics related to Metaverse, on-site guests brought wonderful sharing based on the perspective of different industries.
Jiao Juan, chief analyst of Essence Securities' media industry, started from the basic research ideas on the definition and characteristics of Metaverse, combined with the layout of 20 technology giants around the world, and combed the core concepts and research framework of Metaverse for the audience.
Disney will enter the meta universe.
Today, during the annual earnings conference call, Disney CEO Bob Chapek presented the idea of ??Metaverse to shareholders for the first time. He first pointed to Disney as a long-term record of early adoption of technology to enhance the entertainment experience, providing some examples, such as Steamboat Willie (one of the first cartoons produced with synchronized sound), its historical use of animatronics, and Pixar's role in its animations. Extensive technical work.
He continued: It can be said that our efforts today are just a prologue. We will be able to connect the physical world and the digital world more closely, allowing unbounded storytelling in our own Disney meta-universe. We are committed to creating unparalleled opportunities for consumers so that they can experience everything that Disney provides on our products and platforms, no matter where they are.
As more and more game companies raise this point, some people believe that games such as Roblox, Minecraft, and Second Life already exist as a primitive meta-universe. But this has not stopped companies like Microsoft and Meta from trying to control what this virtual future looks like. Considering the huge number of IPs owned by the company, Disney's own interest in Metaverse is not surprising.
It is not clear how Disney will eventually participate in the metaverse, but there is no doubt that its interest is both expected and may be very strong.
The organization strongly supports "Meta Universe".
Northeast Securities said that "Meta Universe" is expected to raise the ceiling of the game industry and push the valuation center upward. Game spending will account for 1.3% of per capita disposable income in 2020. The agency believes that the development and perfection of Metaverse is expected to make virtual consumption one of the mainstream consumption types, which will greatly promote the revenue ceiling of games and related industries, and promote the industry's valuation center to move upward in the long run. It is recommended that the follow-up focus mainly on the policy direction and version number situation. In addition to policy changes, it is recommended to focus on leading companies with R&D, operation and channel advantages under industry changes.
CITIC Securities believes that as the future digital survival of mankind, Metaverse will have a profound impact on society and bring great industry ultimate opportunities. In the process of gradual development, society will continue to see the emergence and integration of single-point innovations in all aspects, and continue to approach the ultimate meta-universe, which will continue to bring investment opportunities.
China Merchants Securities stated that the development of Meta Universe is still in its initial stage, and it is still dominated by giants.

How can AI and automation address the risk of inequalities and be used correctly?

November 9, 2021
Over the past 18 months, COVID-19 has drastically impacted the speed at which businesses have incorporated automation into their digital transformation strategies, however, the trend to automate had been already gathered significant pace before the onset of the pandemic. One of the most popular digital initiatives, within the scope of automation, is leveraging advanced Conversational AI (CAI)
https://www.artificial-solutions.com/conversational-ai
interfaces that allow enterprises to deliver personalized interactions while simultaneously combining the operational efficiency of end-to-end automation.
We know what this means – better access to services; the ability to engage with customers in a natural and human-like way, at any time and in the channel of their choice; and the opportunity to engage with Conversational AI and speech technologies that respond to human language with the high convenience that automation provides.
However, care must be taken to ensure that the experiences automation provides are delivered ethically and without bias. The potential for automation to drive inequality affects different areas of Artificial Intelligence (AI), including Conversational AI. CAI uses natural language to facilitate communication between humans and machines. CAI has a vast number of real-world applications, from intelligent assistants to voice-controlled homes, in-car experiences, and automated drive-thru systems.
Despite the recent advances in the space, the ability to communicate naturally (understand context, share a common ground with our interlocutors, ask for clarifications, exert common sense, etc.) is one that automated systems have not yet mastered: dialog systems are still not fully automated. Sure, new pre-trained transformer models like OpenAi’s GPT-3 may be able to power very natural small-talk conversations, but can they troubleshoot issues with your Internet connection in a fully automated fashion, end-to-end? And even if they could: would corporations entrust their brand reputation to pure AI-driven systems?
Who could have guessed that Tay, Microsoft’s unsupervised Twitter bot,
https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-35890188
would develop an extremely offensive personality after only 16 hours of exposure to real Tweets?
But that was 2016 – raising awareness about this problem, as well as developing plans and programs around inclusion in AI, are major touchpoints within the CAI life cycle today.
It is through dedicated programs and informed decisions that it is possible for our users to feel included. This is why, for example, Apple’s Siri no longer defaults to a female voice.
https://techcrunch.com/2021/03/31/apple-adds-two-siri-voices/?guccounter=1
In fact, Apple’s decision to give Siri users the option to choose their preferred gender at set-up time is a great example of an informed decision against preconceived stereotypes.
The renowned novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne once said: “Words (…) how potent for good and evil they become.” The truth is, as natural as language feels to all of us, because it is inherently human, it carries our biases too. And, unfortunately, this is also true for conversational and speech technologies.
Whether the bias originates in the data that is fed into the automated processes behind our conversational applications, or in the humans who created them (the designers, the developers and the project team in general), paying attention to these biases themselves, having a strategy around them, is the key to preventing their permeation into the products that we create.
As far as CAI development goes, humans are still instrumental. Designers, developers and copywriters all influence their systems’ voices. Because of this, it is crucial that creators get access to the tools and resources that will help them build their applications in an inclusive manner.
This can be done by allowing developers to take control over areas at high risk of inequality, which may surface in human-machine conversations, like the approval of training data, or leveraging resources for offensive language detection.
It is through actions like these that designers and developers can prevent systems from becoming biased, as well as create dedicated conversational strategies that will allow them to respond to racist remarks, violent comments or sexist implications that may be coming from users.
As a matter of fact, when it comes to CAI and speech technologies, purposedly curating the training and learning processes increases the chances that our conversational systems will become more inclusive and diverse. Unsupervised automation will be inevitably skewed by the patterns and trends seen in the data.
For instance, a voice interface may have trouble understanding a specific accent if this is underrepresented in the data that was used to train the voice recognizer. So, it is ultimately the data that needs to be representative of the diversity we expect to find among our end audience, our users. But it is also the developers’ ethical obligation to research their users’ characteristics and make amendments to the system based on their reactions to the product, something that is usually achieved through user testing (or human factors testing).
In this regard, research and human factors testing both lead the path towards inclusion. Biases are inherently invisible to those who bear them, so external, diverse and representative voices need to be present before, during and after the development process, so that we can ensure our systems will carry respect, diversity and inclusion forward.
In sum, let’s make sure our teams are informed, aware of biases in the data, in their designs, in their implementations; and trained to prevent them because it is ultimately this awareness that paves the road to true diversity, inclusion and equality in AI.
Here’s our commitment to making CIA and the wider industry more inclusive: Artificial Solutions implements Gavriella Schuster’s #BeCOME framework to expand work on inclusion and gender equality.

2021-11-09 23:42 HKT
According to foreign media VRScout, with the development of immersive technology, AR navigation based on interactive windshield and AR head-up display has become a hot topic in the automotive industry. Porsche has launched the AR HUD produced by WayRay, and Panasonic has developed With AI-driven AR HUD, traditional car manufacturers have entered the AR field, and now another car brand Cadillac has also joined the ranks of AR navigation.
It is reported that the new 2021 Cadillac Escalade is equipped with an AR navigation system, which realizes interference-free screen navigation through AR notifications.
David Schiavone, product manager of Cadillac Escalade, said: “AR navigation is a great feature. It operates based on real-time street view and guides the driver to steer through the AR HUD display navigation route. It is worth mentioning that when the vehicle is close to the navigation and steering target As time goes by, the blue navigation arrow will become bigger and bigger to keep reminding the driver to turn to driving."
Holographic AR + human-computer interaction is the future of smart cars.
As a kind of transportation, the core function of automobile is transportation. The emergence of autonomous driving and unmanned driving is undoubtedly the hottest Internet of vehicles at present.
Due to the joint promotion of national policies and technology, the era of intelligent driving is coming fast. In 2020, China's 11 ministries and commissions jointly issued the "Smart Vehicle Innovation Development Strategy", which has clearly pointed out that smart driving vehicles are the national strategic development direction, which includes:
(1) Smart cars have become the strategic direction of the development of the global automotive industry;
(2) The development of smart cars is of great strategic significance to China;
(3) China has a strategic advantage in the development of smart cars.
Among them, the smart driving car is particularly emphasized as a strategic choice for China to develop a powerful automobile nation.
The global automotive industry is experiencing major changes unseen in a century. Cutting-edge technologies such as autonomous driving, 5G, AI, chips, big data, and AR are increasingly integrated into traditional cars, bringing consumers unprecedented car experience and multi-scenario applications -The car is being overturned and redefined.
At the Shanghai International Auto Show not long ago, Huawei, as one of the leading domestic technology companies, once again attracted the attention of the entire industry, releasing new-generation intelligent components and solutions including 4D imaging radar, AR-HUD, and MDC810. In fact, Huawei is not only building a smart electric vehicle ecosystem, but also Nasdaq-listed companies such as Baidu (BIDU.US) and Wimi Hologram (WIMI.US) are also targeting the smart electric vehicle track. According to reports, Baidu Apollo ranks first in the smart electric vehicle market in 2020, and WiMi Hologram has successively developed "WiMi HoloAR HUD" and "WiMi HoloPulse LiDAR".
Public information shows that WIMI.US focuses on holographic cloud services, mainly focusing on automotive AR holographic HUD, 3D holographic pulse LiDAR, head-mounted light field holographic equipment, holographic semiconductor, holographic cloud software, holographic car navigation, etc. The field covers multiple links from holographic AR technology, 3D holographic pulse LiDAR technology, holographic vision semiconductor technology, holographic software development, holographic AR advertising technology, holographic AR entertainment technology, holographic ARSDK payment, and interactive holographic communication. It is a provider of comprehensive holographic cloud technology solutions.
According to the statistics of Zoath Automotive Research, the number of HUDs (mainly W-HUD) in January-November 2020 reached 522,000 units, an increase of 87.7% compared to 2019; among them, the installed capacity of high-end models in the range of 400,000 to 500,000 HUDs A substantial increase of nearly 23 times year-on-year.
In the context of automotive intelligence, traditional HUD solutions cannot meet the display needs of smart cockpits and ADAS functions, and AR-HUD with immersive experience will become the final solution.
AR-HUD combines virtual reality technology to superimpose relevant information on the real object at a natural distance. The overall image size is larger and the quality is higher. It can not only fully integrate the intelligent cockpit and navigation instructions, lane departure warning (LDW), and auto It adapts to ADAS-related functions such as cruise control (ACC) indicator lights, and can also provide drivers with an immersive experience, which is expected to become the final form of vehicle-mounted HUD in the future.
With the increase in penetration rate and product upgrades, we expect the domestic HUD market space to reach 29 billion yuan in 2025, with a compound growth rate of 92.1% in the next five years.
The development of AR and VR technology will have a profound impact on the entire automotive industry. 4 offline s stores can also use AR technology to introduce the brand to the masses in the most entertaining way; it can let consumers instantly feel the change of car color, and experience the car in the most cost-effective way under real scenes.
In the future, you can use AR technology, abandon heavy paper manuals, and view car-assisted driving information on the front windshield; in the future, you can also use VR technology to learn car driving. It can be said that VR technology is expected to revolutionize the traditional automotive industry and lead a new trend.
With the development of technology, AR-HUD will usher in a broader market. AR and VR technologies will have a profound and even disruptive impact on car driving learning, car purchase selection, car usage instructions, and car driving assistance displays.
This is a cool future, we are worth looking forward to!

When Bell made the first phone call to the world, he might not have imagined that communication would have such a profound impact on the future of mankind. For thousands of years, the field of communications has changed rapidly, and the human information society has also entered the accelerated path of development. The last time the wireless communication changed, it was the popularization of 4G technology. Entering the 4G era, smart phones have been integrated into all aspects of our work and life. With 4G as a technical support, smart phones have almost helped us manage life, travel by taxi, eat out, and shop online for clothes.
Today, the fifth-generation mobile communication technology, referred to as 5G, is a new-generation broadband mobile communication technology with high speed, low latency and large connection characteristics. It is a network infrastructure that realizes the interconnection of man, machine, and things. In June 2018, 3GPP released the first 5G standard (Release-15), which supports 5G independent networking and focuses on enhancing mobile broadband services. In June 2020, the Release-16 version of the standard was released, focusing on supporting low-latency and high-reliability services, and realizing support for 5G Internet of Vehicles, mobile Internet, industrial Internet, advertising and entertainment applications.
According to GSA statistics, as of mid-April 2021, 162 operators in 68 countries/regions worldwide have launched 5G services that comply with 3GPP standards. According to the data released by the three major operators in the quarter of 2021, the number of 5G users in China has exceeded 390 million, or has accounted for about 80% of the global market. But from the perspective of the number of connected users and penetration rate, South Korea is still the leading 5G market. In general, 5G global construction is accelerating, and the 5G technical environment is favorable.
With the rapid development of 5G, the VR/AR industry and online games will be the first to be applied.
As one of the most anticipated 5G application scenarios in the industry, VR/AR will usher in an "explosive period" in the future with the pace of 5G commercialization and ecological maturity. According to the forecast of professional institutions, China's virtual reality market will reach 430 billion yuan by 2023. It is not difficult to foresee that under the continuous empowerment of 5G, the integration of VR/AR applications with many fields and industries can redefine product attributes and bring better application experience. For the current VR/AR industry, the concept of pan-entertainment is brought to all parts of the world through the promotion of "5G+ landing applications" in the fields of e-sports, film and television, and automobiles.
In the field of e-sports, people have high hopes for VR immersive games. Relying on the full integration of 5G and VR technologies, the boundaries of space and time have been broken, creating a "borderless space" between online and offline, virtual and reality, so that players can better feel the blend of reality and virtuality. Traditional mobile games may be retained from unlocking levels, confrontational competitions, and progressive depth. The exploration of the dual modes of 5G+VR and mobile games creates new opportunities. Taking the VR parkour game "Gorilla Tag" as an example, it combines fun parkour sports with VR social interaction, and brings players a unique parkour experience. After this game landed on the App Lab platform, the number of its players continued to grow. The game has only been released for four and a half months, and the number of players has reached 675,000. In addition, after "Gorilla Tag" was released in App Lab in March, this game set a record of 5,500 simultaneous online players on Quest and Steam platforms.
It is worth mentioning that this VR parkour game has not yet been officially sold. For a multiplayer VR parkour game that has not been officially sold, the "arm-based" motion system gives players a unique multiplayer parkour experience. At the same time, the player will become a gorilla in the game. Defeat other players in the "Tag" or "Infection" chase. From the number of VR parkour game players, it can be seen that in the field of e-sports, online games and VR applications are expected to become important 5G landing scenarios. Compared with 4G, 5G has a higher network rate, lower latency, greater connection density, and the greater bandwidth and lower latency brought by 5G, which guarantees the experience required by gamers with their own graphics cards and game consoles. At the same time, under 5G network conditions, even on mobile terminals such as mobile phones, you can get a high-quality exquisite game experience.
The ultimate goal of e-sports games is to have a good sense of immersion to complete the interactive experience, which highly depends on the quality of technical content products. Under the situation of technological innovation, AR technology also has huge development potential in the field of e-sports. AR (augmented reality) technology is a technology that ingeniously integrates virtual information with the real world. It is widely used in multimedia, three-dimensional modeling, real-time tracking and registration, intelligent interaction, sensing and other technical means. Images, 3D models, music, video and other virtual information are simulated and applied to the real world. The two kinds of information complement each other, so as to realize the "enhancement" of the real world, which can effectively reflect and interact in the real world. The difference between VR and AR is that VR means virtual reality, which forms a completely virtual three-dimensional world in front of our eyes through computer software, VR glasses and other equipment. And AR is a virtual scene that is "processed" based on the real environment, and is generated by adding real information to the computer. It can be said to be an "enhanced" version of real world information.
At present, the explosion of AR applications is worth looking forward to. AR games are usually played on devices such as smartphones, tablets, and portable game systems. Augmented reality games usually superimpose a pre-created environment on the user's actual environment. More advanced AR games may actually build environments based on the user's surrounding environment. For example, when you open the game while moving on the street, you will find that the game character appears at the junction of the street. Environment creation is a time-consuming task in game production, and the demand for new scenes continues to increase, because once users have fully explored an environment, they want to move to a different environment. AR games expand the field of games and use the diversity of the real world environment to keep the game interesting.
Domestic AR games are also developing rapidly. In recent years, Netease and Tencent have successively launched AR game products, and the game scenes have demonstrated characteristic culture. "Onmyoji" mobile game has launched a new AR gameplay-Summoning of the World, the gameplay is to complete daily tasks to get a spell of the world. Players can use the mobile phone camera to scan the designated summoning array in the game, and virtual characters will appear in the real scene. And by placing the summoning array flat in front of the device camera, you can use the world spells to summon the shikigami.
WiMi Hologram 5G+AR live show is expected to detonate the VR/AR ecosystem.
Everyone is very concerned about the AR software research and development of industry giants Apple and Google. In fact, from a domestic perspective, one of the leading domestic holographic companies, WiMi Hologram uses its strong technical capabilities and infrastructure to provide excellent products and service. WiMi Hologram won the bid for China Mobile and the second phase of the holographic remote interaction of the media cloud platform, and redefines the communication method of China Mobile through "5G + Holographic Remote". In addition, WiMi holographic AR live broadcast technology has become a leading application in the 5G era, changing the way of interacting with mobile applications and other visual graphics experiences.
According to the data report, WiMi Hologram was established in 2015 and owns the Nasdaq stock code: WiMi. WiMi Hologram focuses on holographic cloud services, mainly focusing on automotive AR holographic HUD, 3D holographic pulse LiDAR, head-mounted light field holographic equipment, holographic semiconductor, holographic cloud software, holographic car navigation and other professional fields, covering from holographic car AR technology , 3D holographic pulse LiDAR technology, holographic vision semiconductor technology, holographic software development, holographic AR advertising technology, holographic AR entertainment technology, holographic ARSDK payment, interactive holographic communication and other holographic AR technologies. Quotient.

Relying on the foundation of mature visual design team, WiMi Hologram has deeply excavated the AR live broadcast technology and officially launched the AR game live broadcast business, enriching its business structure, aiming to provide more services to customers. The WiMi holographic AR+ game live broadcast system, in simple terms, is through AR holographic technology, allowing viewers to watch the real restoration of game characters or competitive scenes in reality with the naked eye. WiMi Hologram combines the holographic technology with the entertainment mode, and the player can become a role in the game and intervene in the game environment and plot. Players feel like they are members of the game and continue to interact with e-sports content. Holographic game live broadcast is a new way and development direction of e-sports display. Through holographic projection technology, players can not only see clear images, but also see three-dimensional and realistic images in all directions and multiple angles. The method fully mobilized the connotation and details of the live broadcast, and further stimulated the players' interest in the new game.
As the bandwidth conditions of 5G holographic communication networks change, the 5G holographic application market will usher in an explosion, and high-end applications such as holographic interactive entertainment, holographic conferences, and holographic conferences will gradually become popular. WiMi Hologram Cloud plans to use holographic AI face recognition technology and holographic AI face-changing technology as the core technology, and use multiple technologically innovative systems to support holographic cloud platform services and 5G communication holographic applications. WiMi holographic projection technology is definitely on the top of the list in the industry. The combination of major e-sports and the application of WiMi holographic AR technology will not only enhance the user's online gaming experience, but also attract more potential customers to the platform. So what do you think of this visual experience?

Meta Universe is the real future of the digital world. 2021 is a year when the concept of Meta Universe is popular all over the world. Technology giants continue to make arrangements to obtain tickets to Meta Universe.
What is the meta universe? This is a collection of virtual time and space, composed of a series of augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and the Internet (Internet). Currently, the supporting industry of Metaverse is AR/VR. Using this as an interface to enter a virtual world parallel to reality and give people an immersive experience is one of the main understandings of the concept at present. Therefore, because AR/VR is the key to the meta-universe world, the recent popularity of the “meta-universe” topic has made the AR/VR circle the most popular “fragrance”, which has become the entire capital, technology, and Internet. The “focus” of each industry.
According to Bloomberg Information, by 2024, the market size of Meta Universe will reach 800 billion US dollars. PricewaterhouseCoopers predicts that Meta Universe will reach US$1.5 trillion in 2030. The 1.0 era of the first stage of the meta universe is mainly for the To C market represented by social networking and entertainment. A number of technology companies have already deployed. For example, Facebook (FB.US) has just established a meta universe team, relying on the original social applications, Oculus VR hardware devices, Horizon and digital currency to create their own meta universe world. In addition, "Meta universe holographic AR first unit "WIMI.US" also established the "Meta Universe Division" in August to explore the meta universe world in a deeper level.
Although the era of the ultimate meta universe (meta universe 3.0) is still far away, the first stage of the meta universe (1.0 era) is currently in place. Some related technologies have already been implemented and some applications have begun to be commercialized. There will be more technology applications in the future. Going to maturity.
VR/AR is the entrance to the Metaverse virtual world. China Securities Investment believes in a recent research report that for the VR industry, IDC expects a compound growth rate of 41.4% in the next five years. VR/AR is expected to become a super category after mobile phones, with a broad industry space. The VR/AR market will be worth 17.25 billion U.S. dollars in 2020 and is expected to reach 184.66 billion U.S. dollars in 2026, with a compound annual growth rate of 48.7% from 2021 to 2026.
Facebook's Zuckerberg believes that about 10 million people need to use and purchase VR content on a platform to enable developers to continue to develop and profit; and once this threshold is exceeded, the content and ecosystem will achieve leapfrog development. . With the improvement of VR/AR hardware performance, rich content ecology, and attractive product sales prices, this year's shipments exceeding 10 million or a singularity will come. In the next few years, as technology giants, such as Apple, release VR/AR products, it will also drive the development of the entire industry and the popularization of hardware, opening the door to the meta universe.
With the development of hardware platform and technology, Metaverse will break through the initial social entertainment attribute boundary in the second stage to realize the true Internet including To B, such as Microsoft from hardware, game platform, cloud service, XR Hololens and Mesh- The XR content platform has completed a relatively complete layout; NVIDIA has created the Omniverse industrial meta-universe platform and has begun to cooperate with companies to help improve efficiency. 3D rendering and physics engine technologies also have technical reserves.
With the continuous expansion of the "Meta Universe", as the "Meta Universe Holographic AR Concept First", WIMI.US (WIMI.US) has already begun its exploration in the field of Meta Universe. In terms of meta-universe holographic applications, WiMi Hologram stores nearly 5,000 holographic IP rights content libraries. In terms of meta-universe holographic hardware, WiMi Hologram has launched a new augmented reality (AR) head-mounted display (HMD)-"WiMi HoloAR lens".
It is understood that WiMi Hologram is currently the world's leading holographic platform. After five years of development, it has established a relatively complete holographic technology research and development system, holographic content production and storage system, and holographic commercialization system. In addition to WiMi Hologram, not long ago, Facebook also announced that the relevant directors of Metaverse have been promoted to CTO to promote the development and upgrade of AR and VR hardware. In August of this year, Facebook released the collaborative office social platform Horizon Workrooms. And Cook has repeatedly "confessed" his love for AR technology. Not only that, Cook also believes that AR will be Apple's next "node", and Apple has invested a research and development team of nearly 1,000 people to explore this new field. This is enough to prove that AR has ushered in an inflection point in the consumer market, and another "war of the century" between major technology companies has begun.
Nowadays, "Meta Universe" technology highly relies on virtual reality and communication technologies such as AR, VR, 5G, cloud computing, but compared with the current level of AR and VR technology, "Meta Universe" is in terms of immersion, participation, and sustainability. The requirements are higher. Of course, the meta-universe world, which is difficult to distinguish from reality, may be far away from us, but with the continuous development of AR/VR, cloud computing, AI, and 5G technologies, the realization of the meta-universe concept is only a matter of time.
Meta Universe has once again set off a wave, the five major levels of the industry chain are sorted out, and the opportunity for WIMI holographic is here.

Since the beginning of this year, the slurred term Meta Universe has been out of circles frequently and has become the target of start-ups, technology giants and venture capital. Facebook's high-profile entry announcement has pushed the popularity of Metaverse to a new high. Many media even call 2021 the "first year of Metaverse."
On August 29, ByteDance plans to invest 9 billion yuan to acquire Pico VR, which is much higher than the previously estimated 5 billion yuan by the media.
The new goal of the tech giants.
In addition to ByteDance, other large companies have also deployed on the meta-universe track. Tencent is Roblox's Chinese strategic partner and holds 40% of Epic Games' shares. ByteDance has invested nearly 100 million yuan in the "Chinese version of Roblox" code Qiankun this year ; within five years, it has transformed into a "Meta Universe" company Facebook that is separated from the mobile Internet;
As the first part of the "meta universe" holographic AR concept, WiMi Hologram also opened the exploration in the field of meta universe. WiMi Hologram was listed on Nasdaq in 2020, stock code: WiMi, and recently established the Holographic Meta Universe Division. Its active layout lies in the research and development of the software and hardware of the underlying holographic technology, and further expands the application of holographic technology in the Meta Universe.
On Wall Street, it's not surprising that the underlying logic of stories being more important than products makes the meta-universe concept grow wild. Whether it is a foreign Metaverse or Tencent's True Internet, although the name is different, it describes a possible future-real life and online life will be deeply interactive and integrated. In terms of Unreal Engine technology, Tencent invested in Epic Games holding 48%, and Tencent held 12% of Snap on AR. For Tencent, perhaps it is not pursuing Metaverse or Quanzhen Internet, but the commonality of its business form points to this. A new concept that is more acceptable to the public. Therefore, Tencent is also happy to contribute to the meta-universe, even if it is only a default, regardless of whether its business will eventually be connected to form a meta-universe, the joint promotion of the entire industry or even multiple industries is beneficial to Tencent. Unlike Tencent's initiative to promote the meta universe, Bytedance is more like a chariot tied to the "meta universe". The investment code Qiankun is considered to be the layout of the "virtual world", and the acquisition of Pico is to build a bridge between meta-universe reality and virtuality.
Sorting out the five major levels of the "meta universe".
Although the meta-universe and brain-computer interconnection are still not mature enough at the technical level, the exploration of these concepts by human beings is endless. Between the fictitious and the real, science and technology have developed tangibly in certain fields. The journey of human exploration is the journey of realizing nothingness again and again.
According to the China Merchants Securities Research Report, the "meta universe" is a collection of virtual time and space, composed of a series of augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and the Internet (Internet). Generally speaking, the "meta universe" is a virtual world parallel to the real world and highly interoperable. With the continuous development of AR/VR, cloud computing, AI, 5G and other technologies and the listing of ROBLOX, the first stock of "Meta Universe", "Meta Universe" is turning from a concept into a reality.
West China Securities stated that Metaverse has six characteristics:
- continuity,
- real-time,
- compatibility,
- economic attributes,
- connectivity, and
- creativity.
The talents that meet these six characteristics are called meta-universes, especially economic attributes, connectability, and creativity. Currently, the operability of realizing them is low.
West China Securities pointed out that the meta-universe industry has a certain degree of forward-looking and is still in the early stage of development, and is optimistic about the vast future.
Sort out the five major levels of investment targets in A-shares and U.S. stocks:
1. Entry:
Goertek is expected to be the first to benefit from Yuan Cosmos' heavy volume, OEM of several high-end VR products worldwide (such as Facebook's Oculus Quest 2), 2020Q4's independent brand Pico's Chinese market share will reach 37.8%.
3. Cloud and infrastructure:
Sangfor, Ziguang, Alibaba, Tencent and other companies that provide cloud computing will be the first to benefit. In addition, cloud service companies such as Digital China will also benefit from the growth of cloud computing space brought about by the development of the metaverse industry. Alibaba Cloud IDST is committed to building core artificial intelligence technologies covering image and video, voice interaction, natural language understanding, decision-making, etc., and is committed to providing computing and data processing capabilities in the form of online public services. Enterprises, developers and government agencies provide the Internet of Things , New finance, energy, big game, big manufacturing and other fields.
4. GaaS:
Game design tool side. Tencent, NetEase and other big companies have self-developed game engines (NetEase's NeoX, Tencent's Quicksilver), and the technology is relatively mature, and the same will also prepare for the entry of the meta universe. In addition, Roblox, as a representative stock of Metaverse , has done a good job of avatars and IPs to create a sense of interaction between virtual and reality. These are the areas that will be focused on, and will also improve VR and possible AR technologies. Roblox conforms to all the attributes in the meta-universe, so it is easier to make this thing.
5. Platforms:
Tencent, Alibaba, Baidu, WiMi Hologram and other large company platforms, with traffic + algorithm advantages, are expected to build a convergent meta-universe platform. With the recent wave of Metaverse, WiMi Hologram has a leading holographic platform. After 6 years of development, WiMi Hologram has capabilities covering multiple links from computer vision production, service platform construction, to cloud software development and technical support. WIMI holographic computer vision AI synthesis, top-level visual AI production + professional visual presentation, promote the gradual evolution of the "meta universe" into a high-precision restoration of the "real world" in the virtual environment.
In short, Meta Universe has not only ignited people's imagination at the conceptual level, but with the preemptive deployment and promotion of Internet giants, Meta Universe will surely become a hot spot in the investment market for a period of time.

2021-10-29
With the rapid development of emerging technologies such as 5G, cloud computing, Internet of Things, and big data, the lighting industry leverages digital transformation to promote efficient management, business innovation, and enhance competitiveness. It has become a must for development.
As a leader in energy-saving lighting in China, a lighting appliance company in Zhejiang Province, in addition to using 5G, cloud computing, Internet of Things and other emerging technologies for product intelligent upgrades, also deployed SAP ERP and other systems through ChinaSoft International's one-stop cloud service in China Cloud Network On HUAWEI CLOUD, with the help of cloudization, enterprises can realize minimalist operation and maintenance, smart management and operation.
As the core business system of an enterprise, SAP ERP manages the core production and operation and financial data of the enterprise, with huge data volume, complex technical architecture, and high integration complexity with peripheral systems. Migrating from SAP ERP to the cloud has strict requirements on the professional capabilities of the technical team. In order to ensure the progress of the project, the lighting appliance company hopes that before and after the SAP ERP goes to the cloud, Chinasoft International China Cloud Network can have a dedicated person to provide technical support services: before going to the cloud, it can answer various product and service consulting questions in a timely and efficient manner; It can provide detailed guidance, assist in the configuration of products and services, and communicate with other vendors to solve configuration alignment problems; after going to the cloud, it can assist in improving the system protection system to ensure the safe and stable operation of the business...
Based on customers' comprehensive demands before, during and after the cloud coverage, Chinasoft International's online cloud service platform Huaxia Cloud has established an exclusive technical support group for it, equipped with professional qualification certifications and experienced technical service experts to satisfy customers around the clock Cloud resource allocation, changes, new additions and troubleshooting, etc., ensure the smooth progress of customer projects.
Before going to the cloud.
In order to make the service more "targeted", technical service experts carefully analyze the customer's business environment, sort out the system architecture, and understand the customer's detailed planning of resources and permissions on the cloud, so as to help them maximize the effectiveness of "cloudification".
On the cloud.
In response to the needs of customers who want to achieve independent management of personnel, resources, and finances according to the system architecture after going to the cloud, actively assist customers in creating enterprise projects, and assist customers in purchasing and configuring corresponding cloud server resources and cloud database RDS according to project classification, and at the same time helping to open a unified identity Authentication service (IAM), to facilitate customers to securely control access to Huawei Cloud services and resources.
In response to the needs of customers who wish to deploy "VPN + cloud dedicated line" dual insurance links on the cloud to ensure normal communication between the business system on the cloud and the local data center in the intranet, technical service experts actively assist customers in configuring VPN and cloud dedicated lines to use exclusive privacy Channel for communication.
However, there were some "obstacles" in this process: First, the VPN gateway often failed to communicate from time to time after the VPN gateway was connected. After careful searching, it was confirmed that the "crisis" was a problem with the peer policy configuration, and the VPN connection was restored immediately after adjustment. Unblocked.
Second, the cloud dedicated lines that customers accessed include Hangzhou, Shangrao, and Xiamen.

Thank you Uranium, you speak from my soul.
Investing means:
- Invest yourself
Those who invest themselves must carefully consider what they are investing in and whether actively or passively. When you invest actively, you decide what to invest in. You decide for yourself which company you want to buy shares from and where you want to sell shares. Active investors believe they can get a better return than the average market return. You are trying to beat ’the market through tactical investments, but that is not always possible because no one can predict the future with absolute reliability based on the past.
Some investors are therefore firmly convinced that passive investing brings more returns in the long term. Passive investments “follow” the market by investing in a large number of listed companies at the same time. In this way, the risks and opportunities are optimally distributed. This usually happens through so-called mutual funds. These replicate a stock market index, such as the Dow Jones or the DAX, and thus rely on the average market return.
- Speculation
Some shareholders try to make substantial returns over a short period of time. Here they buy and sell stocks over short periods of time. However, the word ‘invest’ does not fit here - something is called speculation and it is more like gambling.
- Invest for the long term
Investing, on the other hand, is spreading your money over stocks and bonds over a long period of time. You don't invest your money for a month or two, but for one to ten years, or even longer. The basic principle of investing is that the economy and the market grow over the long term. Even if you don't get a great return in the short term, the longer you invest your money, the greater your chance of a higher return.

Build an international smart city, let the city become a thinker.
Since entering the 21st century, China’s modernization process has been accelerating, and the degree of industrialization and urbanization has continued to increase. At the same time, driven by a new generation of information technology represented by 5G, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, big data, and the Internet of Things, the construction of smart cities Become an effective means to promote the modernization of China's urban governance capabilities.
In order to comply with the development requirements of the times and the country, based on 5G technology, ChinaSoft International proposes to "create advanced smart cities with efficient solutions", and relies on its own advanced IT architecture to coordinate the Internet of Things, big data, video, integrated communications, and time and space. Various technologies such as information services and artificial intelligence integrate operating data in various fields of the city to build an integrated, intelligent, and visual display platform.
ChinaSoft International regards buildings, blocks, communities, and parks as the foothold and important entry point for the construction of new smart cities in the 5G era. In the 5G+ smart city solution, ChinaSoft International proposes to integrate 5G capabilities to help the sinking of smart city capabilities, with the goal of promoting new smart cities, creating city and community-level digital shared services, and forming a new generation of "urban brains" Smart city command center.
Transform a leading company in digital intelligence, let the company become a runner.
The current development of the digital economy is not only about technological changes, but also about changes in production relations and business models. The demand model of enterprise customers is shifting from a single product model to an aggregated capability of "platform + application + service". After the transformation of traditional data centers to cloud-based data centers, the focus of enterprise users' needs has shifted from cloud platforms to cloud applications. Enterprises also hope to achieve cloudification and end-to-end business capabilities, and hope to improve management efficiency through comprehensive cloudification and maintain continuous business innovation and development.
Through in-depth research on China's traditional industrial scenes, ChinaSoft International has proposed a set of core solutions for the transformation of enterprises' digital intelligence-data cloudification, precision decision-making, and platform sharing.
The core of the solution is to use 5G high-frequency and secure transmission to achieve enterprise data intercommunication; use powerful cloud computing power to achieve accurate access to rapid enterprise decision-making; use big data to implement a customized data sharing and collaboration platform. At the same time, according to the different needs of enterprises, special changes are made to create exclusive customized solutions to fully realize digital management, smart operation and process business, thereby realizing the business cycle and helping enterprises to carry out "user-centric" digital transformation Service, truly empower and increase intelligence for the development of the industry!
Promote smart national government affairs and let the government become a leader.
How to make the government affairs system achieve an intelligent leap based on the traditional electronic system, improve the national governance system supported by science and technology, and truly benefit the people, is the original intention of ChinaSoft International and the government to create 5G+ smart government affairs. Based on this thinking and research, combined with the relevant national policies for the construction of the "Internet + government service" system, ChinaSoft International has launched a national integrated online government service solution.
Data cloud sharing, information resource sharing, and infrastructure co-construction and sharing are the core of the system, which solves a series of problems that people have encountered in the process of doing things because of the non-interoperability of data and the non-sharing of resources.
The establishment of ChinaSoft International's smart government affairs system uses cloud platform big data technology to build an integrated government service application platform to empower one network to handle government affairs that benefit the people, including medical security and public services.

To make government affairs open and digitized and convenient, to truly realize the harmonious government affairs model that exchanges opinions between the people and the government and enhances the ability of social governance.
Build intelligent public transportation, let the people be the beneficiaries.
As the most important part of a city, the traffic situation represents the development degree and level of a city. The construction of a smart transportation system has become an important part of the city's service and construction.
Based on this, Chinasoft International uses 5G as an access method, and adds emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, big data, blockchain, and the Internet of Things, providing applications that connect ports, railways, urban rail transit, highways, airports, etc. One-stop solution for scenarios.

Enabling the supply side with "platform + service" and reconstructing the new ecological pattern|Speech by Chen Yuhong, Chairman of ChinaSoft International at the 2021 Business Innovation Conference.

http://www.chinasofti.com/news/2304.htm
2021-10-27
Witnessing the power of business innovation and building a new digital ecological future, UFIDA 2021 Business Innovation Conference was successfully held recently. As a diamond-level partner of the UFIDA ecosystem, Chen Yuhong, Chairman and CEO of ChinaSoft International, was invited to give a keynote speech on "Enable the Supply Side with "Platform + Service" and Reconstruct the New Ecological Pattern".
After 30 years of development, China's software industry has grown to a trillion-dollar market, and leading companies have played an important guiding role. Among them, it can be divided into product companies and service companies. UFIDA is a typical product company with strong ability to quickly reach the market. For example, after the launch of YonBIP, it has gathered tens of thousands of large and medium-sized customers in a short period of time. ChinaSoft International is a typical service company with a high degree of customer concentration, mainly focusing on deep cultivation of large customers, with deep accumulation of lean soft engineering capabilities and leading industry knowledge accumulation.
The trillion-dollar market is open to hundreds of rivers. ChinaSoft International and UFIDA both have the ideal of achieving the goal of 100 billion yuan, and they also have the long-cherished wish for supply-side reform-leading the "product platform + professional services" of domestic software and digital intelligence applications to scale and achieve marginal utility Significant improvement, fully opening up the market space for China's digital transformation. The main bottleneck of the current market development is delivery. A large number of customized development rather than configuration shows that the product's understanding of industry customers, insights into production relationships, abstraction of common characteristics of applications, and configurable parameter design to adapt to individual needs are not strong enough. , This is the challenge we face together. How to achieve scale? The main approach is code reuse, which specifically includes two methods: "using code to reuse code" and "using people to reuse code". "Reuse code with code" means service productization, feed back personalized customized solutions to products, realize full functional abstraction and in-depth adaptation of products in multiple subdivisions, and achieve "national application"; "reuse code with people" means product Servicing, through experienced consultants and implementation teams, to promote low-cost and efficient rapid "configurable" delivery.
As explained by the cooperation between Chinasoft International and UFIDA, ChinaSoft International has established a service "enable" center for the UFIDA platform. The underlying core platform is the production relationship platform. The purpose is to break through the boundaries of capabilities, digest demand and precipitate the products and organizational capabilities that are transformed into a cooperative combination of both parties, using two large-scale methods-product service and service productization, on the platform Realize two handshake. In the past, UFIDA mainly implemented the original factory. These two handshakes were completed within UFIDA, which can effectively manage the key control points and risk points of implementation and delivery. However, in the future, the transition to an ecological cooperation model of "product platform + professional services" will require large-scale cooperation through a service collaboration platform. For example, UFIDA's integrated industry management products have reached a very wide range of markets and can be called national applications. They can first adapt to Chinasoft International's Digital-CSI digital transformation, open up the closed loop of backfeeding to form joint innovation, and then integrate digital transformation services to jointly expand to the goal. Industry markets and customers.
The demand for the digital transformation market is very large, and the response speed is very fast. It cannot be accomplished by a single company alone. It must be achieved through ecosystem support. Relying on the product servicization and service productization of the production relationship platform to promote the integration of various partners and roles in the ecosystem, to include professional services, ISVs and technology platform partners, and integrate the implementation of services, operation and maintenance after the product stage, and turn them into One, to promote the increase in the proportion of configuration, and the decrease in the proportion of customization. At present, this situation has begun to take shape.
The service productization of ChinaSoft International has yet to mature. In the past ten years, we have cooperated with important customers such as Huawei. Nearly 90,000 employees develop tens of millions of lines of code every year, which fully accumulates software engineering capabilities. We have also made many useful attempts and explorations in the field of customer-side custom development of enterprise applications. When the granularity of the project reaches a certain scale, a small closed loop is formed by recycling products. Now we will work with UFIDA to make this closed loop bigger, and to do a more extensive and in-depth docking of software engineering capabilities and product matrix, and to reach the final customer with one heart.
Today's market is still dominated by a large number of customized developments. This may be related to the pursuit of self-innovation and characteristic management by Chinese companies, and they are not willing to copy the mature and universal experience of the industry. In view of the characteristics of the domestic market, it is necessary to consider how to realize the scale of customized development capabilities, standardize and standardize the services of all parties in the ecosystem, and enable them to a higher level. 80% of ISVs in China have less than 50 people. Small and micro teams rely on unique industry resources and experience and ability accumulation, and they can also play a great value. They must also cooperate with large professional service companies through platforms. Large companies are willing to subdivide. The field market has extensive cooperation with professional small and micro teams or experts, which is also the logic of the industrial Internet business model and ecological cooperation platform of Chinasoft International Jiefang.
ChinaSoft International was established more than ten years later than UFIDA. It started with IT products at first and then turned to services. Since its establishment, it has maintained a compound annual growth rate of 30%. The development path of software service companies usually starts from "people + projects" and extends upward to the experience output of "tool set + methodology", such as software factories, and then provide services on the partner platform, which is where Chinasoft International is currently located. At this stage, this is an important traction for us to move towards 100 billion, and it is also the original intention of cooperating with product companies.
As a R&D service provider for companies such as Huawei, we have continued to become a strategic supplier and strategic partner from an ordinary supplier, and implement the FFW (for, from, with) strategy. ChinaSoft International looks forward to in-depth strategic cooperation along the same path with UFIDA, and together on a digital journey, enabling the supply side with "platform + service", reconstructing the new ecological pattern, and becoming a very valuable piece of the map of the great motherland. One of the brands!
At the meeting, Ms. Cao Yan, senior vice president of Chinasoft International and president of the Technology and Professional Services Group, signed a professional service strategic cooperation agreement with UFIDA on behalf of the company.
In the current era, the three waves of digitalization, localization, and globalization have created huge market space and industrial development opportunities. In this context, China's toB Internet or enterprise service industry also has the soil to grow into the world's leading providers and service providers. As the two leading companies in the domestic software industry, ChinaSoft International will work with UFIDA to deepen strategic cooperation and create a win-win model of "big platform + big service", stimulating business innovation, opening up a path for industrial scale development, and staying in the digital age. Tens of millions of Chinese companies provide the engine of change to help China's digital economy and digital society lead the world.

In the era of digital economy, digital transformation is an inevitable trend of enterprise development. In the process of advancing digital transformation, a new governance system is needed to support it. For an enterprise, IT is a kind of technology and resource, but also a kind of ability. If an enterprise wants to develop rapidly and sustainably, it must pay attention to the improvement of technology, resources and ability. Under the new governance model, the role of IT is more important and broad. It is no longer just to support and promote business development, but to become an important productivity of the enterprise and empower the transformation of various business departments of the enterprise.
After in-depth industry insight and analysis, ChinaSoft International and China Information and Communication Research Institute released the "New IT Governance Service System White Paper". This white paper is the integration of ChinaSoft International’s years of practical experience in IT governance services and products and strong delivery capabilities. The Institute’s authority and best practices in the formulation of industry standards provide guidance for the advancement of enterprises’ digital transformation. The new IT governance service system is value-oriented and based on the driving capabilities of digital transformation.
From the perspectives of multi-cloud architecture, digital drive, and business innovation, it carries out multi-cloud architecture governance, data governance, and application governance, and gradually builds systematic services to complete digital transformation. Landing, aggregation and business restructuring drive industrial innovation and development. Help companies embrace change, be brave to innovate, improve management, and optimize applications in the wave of digital transformation.
01|New IT architecture boosts digital transformation.
The new round of digital transformation has brought profound changes to the traditional IT architecture. Organizations of all kinds are gradually transforming basic IT resources into building on the cloud. To ensure the smooth operation of business applications on the cloud platform, the cloud platform must have a stable environment, unified architecture and management. Digital transformation requires the evolution and cooperation of the infrastructure layer. The underlying architecture must adapt to the needs of transformation. Cloud data centers are intelligent underlying infrastructures. Building a cloud environment and data center is an inevitable requirement for the digital transformation of enterprises. Diversified and different demands, IT architecture needs to conform to the requirements of the times and enterprise development, achieve unified management of heterogeneous environments, provide business services with the most economical operation and maintenance costs, and use advanced IT architecture to improve digital performance and efficiency, and promote enterprise digitization Transformation.
02|Data governance creates a solid foundation for digital transformation.
In the future, the management of enterprises will be based on connections, and the entire organization will develop in an open and ecological direction. In the layered value network, customers will be at the center of the value chain. In order to create more incremental value, the openness and sharing of data information is required. Data governance is the hub of corporate capabilities and the sharing of capabilities. It transforms the various data resources of the company into capabilities that are easy to use on the front-end, and provides a "user-centric" digital transformation service for the company. A large amount of data is generated from the business system, and the business system needs the results of data analysis. Data governance uses technology to link big data computing and storage capabilities, and business to connect data application scenario capabilities. After the data is standardized and processed according to the standard model, it needs to serve a variety of scenarios. At the same time, it also needs to provide a standard data service interface to connect the data with the application scenario.
03|The continuous evolution of IT governance across the value chain.
In the digital business transformation, the boundary between IT and business is blurred, and services centered on value results will become more common. The construction of the IT governance system needs to be highly integrated with the business to realize the value empowerment of IT governance. For example, the BizDevOps system, on the basis of DevOps, realizes the left shift of business, opens up the three major functional departments of R&D, operation and maintenance, and business, and redesigns the R&D operation link based on business value. Focusing on the realization of business value, we will carry out a series of end-to-end value management such as value design, value development, and value acquisition, and carry out practices in value management, platform tools, personnel culture, etc., to ensure the maximum value of digital application innovation.
New IT governance is a large-scale and complete industrial chain and service system. The continuous structural upgrade of the new IT governance industry chain will bring epoch-making significance to the development of the entire IT industry. The new IT governance service system needs to be constructed from the perspective of industrial ecological innovation. Innovation and integration will bring new market opportunities and investment value, drive innovation and development of the industry, and the new IT governance service system will usher in making key contributions to the industry In the golden period of China, we will accelerate the development of digital transformation.
