The fourth industrial revolution boosted by artificial intelligence: is smart manufacturing replaced or liberated?

On December 1st, the “2017 China Manufacturing Thousand People's Association” was held in Tianjin with the theme of “Promoting Advanced Manufacturing to Industrial Intelligence”. At the conference, Wang Mingfen, deputy dean of the Industry 4.0 Research Institute, gave a keynote speech on "AI2.0 Redefining Smart Manufacturing" and accepted the visit to the top network after the meeting.

Made in China 2025 and Industry 4.0

At present, our country has formulated and released the national strategy of “Made in China 2025”. What kind of connection exists between China Manufacturing 2025 and Industry 4.0? President Wang gave us an answer.

"Made in China 2025 is China's national strategy, and Industry 4.0 is Germany's national manufacturing strategy. It should be said that these two strategic plans led by the state are both competitive and cooperative. I think it is an international strategy for simultaneous development. concept."

Every industrial upgrade will produce a series of changes. In the wave of the fourth industrial revolution, what subversive technologies will emerge, how will people change their consumption and life? President Wang further explained this issue to us.

If it is subversive, it is definitely a universal technology, we call it GPT. At this stage, real industrialization has been going on for decades, and we are growing faster and faster. It is in the midst of a large-scale industrial production period. In this period, it will be a very difficult job to increase its production efficiency or significantly reduce its cost through a certain technology. However, the development of technology applications such as big data and artificial intelligence has become more and more widespread, and has been extended from manufacturing to consumption. I think that in the fourth industrial revolution, artificial intelligence is indispensable. Artificial intelligence applications may be more advanced in the consumer field as well as in the financial field, but with the artificial intelligence, digitization, and generalization of cloud computing technology in the manufacturing field. Sexual development can ultimately change the productivity of our entire society and create new technological subversives.

Industry 4.0 current technical difficulties

In the current process of moving to Industry 4.0, what kind of technical difficulties still exist, how will it be overcome in the future? Dean Wang gave us an in-depth analysis.

Industry 4.0 is a long-term, future strategy. When it launched Industry 4.0 in 2013, it did not feel that we could implement it now. Its vision is to achieve a social intelligent service. Technically, the main problem is the lack of technical applications that can be used in specific areas. Now we still have different technologies and knowledge systems in different industries in the industry, and they are not universal. There is a lack of a set of operational systems that allow the entire society to integrate from industrial production to final consumption. Germany also has a report, the world of intelligent services, which was mentioned at the time.

So far, Industry 4.0 has not been very mature, not only for technical reasons, but also for business models. The cost of adopting new technologies and the profits that can be created need to be considered comprehensively.

Smart manufacturing is to replace or liberate

What happens when artificial intelligence is popularized in the manufacturing industry as a general-purpose technology? Will artificial intelligence replace human work? In this regard, President Wang looked forward to the future development of artificial intelligence technology.

Artificial intelligence is mainly to enable data, and his development in the field of consumption is different from that in the industrial field. Because there are some physical devices in the industrial field that will generate some data, which is not just a virtual calculation like consumption data, it may require a mapping, a technology that maps this physical device. Then develop to the back, or will return to how to combine this data with the device, use it to improve efficiency. This can correspond to the equipment and correspond to the entire industry chain.

Regarding whether artificial intelligence will replace human beings, this issue should be an industry consensus so far, and society has a consensus. First of all, the current artificial intelligence technology is less likely to be smarter than humans. It may be more and more applications, operations, calculations, etc. in many aspects. It is more efficient than humans. But it is impossible to produce real intelligence, and it is unlikely to replace humans.

Whether the machine will replace people, there is consensus, no! Because whether it is Industrial 4.0, smart manufacturing, or digital manufacturing, it is still important to emphasize people, how technology makes people more efficient at work, and it does replace some people who have no advantage in doing it, and it is very repetitive and very Mechanical, very heavy work. It is a liberation of the labor force. Moreover, there is an increasing trend of aging in the world of labor. Our technologies will not cause people to have a crisis. It will produce new, better and more valuable while eliminating some of the job opportunities. More liberating technology.
