Huawei sees affordable, easy-to-use tech
Print Edition
ARTIFICIAL intelligence is set to become more accessible, affordable and easy to use within two or three years, and helping to redefine various industries, a senior Huawei executive said yesterday in Shanghai.
AI should be considered as a general purpose technology, just as “railway and cars are widely used by people today,” Zheng Yelai, president of Huawei’s Cloud BU (business unit), said during the World Artificial Intelligence Conference forum.
Cloud services and understanding of various industries can offer customers “accessible, affordable and easy-to-use” AI technologies, according to Huawei.
Huawei has explored AI applications in transport, education and logistics. With improved efficiency offered by AI, working methods and even the whole eco-system will be redefined within two or three years, especially labor-intensive industries, Zheng added.
Huawei, which upgraded its cloud division to a BU in 2017, saw a 7-fold jump in cloud business revenue year on year with over 6,000 cloud partners in the first half of the year.
The revenue in the domestic public cloud service market hit US$4 billion in 2017, according to researcher IDC.
By 2020, Huawei will take 29 percent of China’s cloud market, compared with Alibaba’s 40 percent and Tencent’s 27 percent, said Deutsche Bank in a report.
Huawei’s new AI strategy and solutions will be revealed at the 2018 Huawei Connect Conference, which will be held next month in Shanghai, according to Zheng.
