BEIJING, Jan. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Baidu Research, a
leading AI research lab initiated by Baidu, provides its forecast
of top 10 tech trends for 2022. This is the third consecutive year
Baidu Research has released its outlook on tech trends on the
frontier of innovation.
The top 10 tech trends shared by Baidu Research span a wide
range of topics including: Large-scale Pre-training Model,
AI for Science, AI-powered Computational Biology,
Privacy Computing, Integration of Quantum Hardware and
Software, Autonomous Driving, Deep Space
Exploration, Human-machine Symbiosis, Green AI, and
Inclusive AI.
"Artificial intelligence has become a key driving force of
innovation and development, due to its rapidly evolving core
technologies, stronger cross-domain connectivity, and the expanding
collection of core industry applications. In this time of
uncertainty, it is our hope that AI will illuminate the road of
innovation and propel the ship of development,"
said Haifeng Wang, CTO of Baidu and Head of Baidu
Research.
The top 10 tech trends center on three key pillars: AI core
technologies, interdisciplinary & cross-domain research, and
industrial & social values.
AI core technologies are making continuous breakthroughs, with
more proven cases in integrated innovation. In interdisciplinary
and cross-domain research, AI constitutes a shared variable for
scientific research and technological development. AI is also
accelerating the development of relevant industries such as
autonomous driving, robotics, aerospace and healthcare. It has also
played a key role in driving progress towards goals such as carbon
emissions reduction and social inclusion.
This is the third consecutive year Baidu Research shares its
yearly tech trend forecast. Previously, its forecast on trends like
Digital and Virtual Humans and Digital Transportation have become a
reality.
Here are Baidu Research's Top 10 Tech Trends for 2022. The full
report is available here: https://research.baidu.com/Blog/index-view?id=166.
#1 Large-scale Pre-training Model: The large-scale
pre-training model reflects a trend of knowledge enhancement,
unified cross-modal modeling, and multi-learning, reducing
dependence on labeled data and accelerating real-world
applications.
#2 AI for Science: AI for Science has emerged as a
new area of research with the potential to change the paradigm of
scientific research.
#3 AI-Powered Computational Biology: Computational
biology based on AI technology continues to develop rapidly,
achieving breakthroughs in multiple foundational research and
application scenarios.
#4 Privacy Computing: Privacy computing has attracted
growing attention. It will provide fuller utilization of data and
create an infrastructure that builds stronger user confidence.
#5 Integration of Quantum Hardware and Software: The
integration of hardware and software in quantum computing is being
more widely implemented, as real-life demand accelerates the
merging and innovation in between quantum computing and other
industries.
#6 Autonomous Driving: Autonomous driving
technology is entering a new driverless stage, as multiple
"Robocar" models connect technology with application scenarios.
#7 Deep Space Exploration: AI and aerospace
technology are unlocking new possibilities for the intelligent
exploration of deep space.
#8 Human-machine Symbiosis: Social distancing
restrictions have added impetus to human-machine symbiosis. The
combination of virtual and real intelligent interaction will soon
become a part of work and life.
#9 Green AI: AI development increasingly
takes into account green and low-carbon, helping to achieve carbon
peaking and carbon neutrality goals.
#10 Inclusive AI: AI will become more
inclusive, with an emphasis on value creation allowing more
attention to be focused on the needs of SMEs and minority
groups.
