In a recent interview, Lei Jun revealed that if he had not decided to build a car in 2021, he would probably be working on AI now.Lei Jun then added that at least we are talking about AI. "In fact, we are also working on AI. We are not necessarily slower than our peers. We may talk more about AI."
He also said that Xiaomi launched AllinAI in 2016, and he dedicated three to four thousand people to do related work, but he only talked about it less.
"Because I study software, I took a bunch of AI courses more than 30 years ago, so I should have a certain understanding of the general knowledge of AI. It's just that in the past two years, my energy has been on cars and a little less on AI," Lei Jun said.
Xiaomi also announced a few days ago that Xiao Ai's large model Xiao Ai application is being fully upgraded, covering core categories such as mobile phones, tablets, TVs, speakers, cars, etc., and supporting functions such as AI picture editing and outside-car wake-up defense.
Big model Xiaoai will also play different advantages on different devices. For example, the mobile phone version focuses on AI picture editing, document question and answer, and intelligent film production; the car version focuses on travel assistant, intelligent navigation, music recommendation, car question and answer, and outside-car wake-up defense.
