Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ:BIDU) has announced that Baidu Create 2018, the
company’s annual artificial intelligence (AI) developer conference,
will be held on July 4th and 5th at the China National Convention
Center in Beijing. It is anticipated that thousands of developers
and partners from around the world will join Baidu at the event to
discuss leading-edge AI technologies and the growth of Baidu’s open
AI ecosystem over the past year.
Building off the success of the inaugural Baidu

with a main forum and different sub-forums. Robin Li, Baidu
Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO; Ya-Qin Zhang, President of New
Business; Haifeng Wang, Senior Vice President and Head of AI Group,
and other Baidu senior executives will deliver keynote speeches
introducing the latest developments to the company’s key businesses
and technologies. At Create 2018, attendees can look forward to the
releases of the latest iterations of both Apollo, Baidu’s open
autonomous driving platform, and DuerOS, Baidu’s conversational AI
system, as well as the launch of Baidu’s Smart Mini Programs.
The Create 2018 sub-forums will cover a range of
topics, including Baidu Brain, Smart Mini Programs, Smart Living,
Smart Driving, Smart Cloud & IoT and Smart Finance.
Additionally, Baidu has organized over 20 interactive open courses
where attendees can engage with Baidu engineers who will be
providing deep dives into the company’s developments of
technologies and platforms like the PaddlePaddle open source deep
learning framework, face recognition, the latest iterations of
Apollo and DuerOS, safety practices in autonomous driving vehicles
and many more.
Last year, Baidu Create brought together more
than 6,500 participants to witness the announcement of the
company’s open AI ecosystem and a showcase of two of the company’s
open platforms - Apollo and DuerOS - and their roadmaps for the
future of intelligent driving and conversational AI. In just one
year after its inception, Apollo has gathered over 100 global
partners and obtained permits for road testing in places like
Beijing, Fujian, and Chongqing. DuerOS is now working with over 200
companies and brands, and has been integrated into more than 100
smart devices. With its open AI platforms, Baidu is empowering more
than 500,000 developers and partners across fields such as real
