On November 2, TechCrunch TechCrunch Disrupt its annual meeting co-sponsored by the science and technology kicked off in Beijing. The meeting lasts two days, 2nd in the morning schedule, from Alphabet Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt (Eric Schmidt), founder and CEO of huaxing capital Bao Fan, Twitter greater commercial Director Alan Lan and others on China's dialogue on the topic of Internet innovation. Alphabet Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt (Eric Schmidt) the arrival of much concern.
As the Assembly's first appearance of the guest, Eric Schmidt and TechCrunch said in a video program executive producer Sarah Lane of a dialogue on China's economic development is very shocked and shaken, and hope that Google will provide services to China, and will continue to keep in touch with the Government.
Eric Schmidt praised for some Chinese-style innovation. He thought China invented can be extended to things outside of China, such as Xinjiang drone is very successful. And the micro-integration services, his analysis of this product not in other parts of the world were invented, mainly in banking and distribution industry maturity. "In the United States may not be as useful, but particularly significant in China. "
Following is a forum-dialogue summaries:
Sarah Lane: you almost come to China every year?
Eric Schmidt:20 years ago, I came to China for the first time, over the years I have witnessed China's economic development speed, very shocked and shaken.
Sarah Lane: you feel that over the past 20 years, technological transformation and innovation of China, what struck you the most?
Eric Schmidt:20 years ago we have a cooperation with Tsinghua University, China Internet has just started, China is also on the development of urbanization and mobility, mobile Internet has just begun. Can see that China is the largest mobile Internet users, a reference to user base is 1 billion customers. Because in every corner will have mobile Internet users in China as a whole. Began to have some approval or license problems, LTE is now ubiquitous.
Sarah Lane: can I ask what Google did some in China, such as on search: is there any progress? For the past 6 years, after all, you have no business here in China.
Eric Schmidt: Yes, Google left China at that time, but we still have 500 employees. In greater China, Hong Kong and Taiwan are our offices, we have servers in Hong Kong. In fact we hope to be able to provide services to China, we will continue to maintain communication with the Government. This is one of my purpose in coming here. Moschino rabbit
This meeting confirmed the spirit of innovation of China very well, they are the most passionate people in the world. We see the diversity of innovation, Silicon Valley, there are, of course, Israel and Boston, and then Beijing and Shanghai. I, like many others, believe that innovative spirit is really great here. At the beginning we know Beijing is only one ring, to ride a bike at that time, there are now so many rings, everyone drives, has undergone enormous changes. And the Chinese Government in a large number of inputs, including technology, life sciences, and so on, which is good for the whole country.
Sarah Lane: what changes do you think 5-10 will happen in the future?
Eric Schmidt:2007, 2008, before the iPhone listed, we said at the time most of the mobile phone or PDA, BlackBerry and so on, but after the iPhone launched, about 2 billion people use Smartphones, iOS-II got out some changes in the interface, there is a new wave of startups.
In China, people may not remember what they started with app, probably don't remember when I started using Twitter, after these Web based interface, will spread rapidly, and rapidly changing public life.
We know China drops, Uber, and express delivery services such as Amazon, are launching a number of new services, these services are changing very fast. Now, PayPal, services such as micro-payments, are all 10 years ago, we couldn't imagine.
Sarah Lane: How do you see the app in addition to social functions?
Eric Schmidt: invented in China can be extended to things outside of China, such as Xinjiang drone is very successful. And the micro-integration services, his analysis of this product not in other parts of the world were invented, mainly in banking and distribution industry maturity. In the United States may not be as useful, but particularly significant in China. So it is not going to be extended to places other than China, and I think some form of will.
Sarah Lane: I know you are a fan of drone. How do you think for UAV-based express delivery service. Soon after, if there is no control problems, soon will use a lot of drones to courier?
Eric Schmidt: the key is to only jams in the city where the sky over your head, Asia's massive population to cities and urban infrastructure to keep up, United States, Europe has such a complaint, in many large cities have this kind of problem. Therefore, we clearly see that this is a direction in the future, Auto Express logistics services to replace human services, such as drones.
From the industry as a whole, major advances both in machine learning, computer vision systems may be better than human vision, so things will be replaced by computers. Cars, for example, most of the time you will be on your vision, you have to look at the road, to avoid collisions, and these can all be automated, Google have this kind of project, eventually the UAV would complete automation, can do such a thing.
There are a lot of people think, lifetime, we can see this very powerful system of a helicopter to transport goods and people, I think it is possible to achieve. Driverless cars currently technically feasible and, of course, there are a lot of problems. I also sat driverless cars, very safe to drive and experience is very good, but not speeding. I don't know what your experience, I'm on the highway, at least, pay attention to my speed, I find often speeding, is there a button that tells you a little bit faster than the speed limit, they can tell you, this is what we will see.
Sarah Lane: where robots can develop?
Eric Schmidt: today, we are using Google translation, when using machine learning, is not a dictionary, but a deep learning, mathematical algorithms. Understanding its semantics, structure, apart, together, then translate it into different languages of expression. We did the demo, can be done in real time, your conversation with your phone, the phone can help you with your technical translation in real time, the next 5-10 is relatively easy to achieve, everyone will forget the language barrier. Problem is from this relatively direct translation to really understand how far I think of computer in pattern recognition is a strong, if this kind of human behavior is the budget, regular, not clever allusions, sarcasm, something it is easier to understand, easier to deconstruct. For instance a law making it look, sound a warning, but the lower, more complex may be a little difficult. Right now, our computers can write better papers, is to go before us today, some people think that 15-20 computer is able to achieve the level of human cognition, I think premature, there are other obstacles.
Our mission is to help people become smarter, because it saves a lot of information and data, such as Facebook, Twitter, and micro-letters, you can make people smarter, so we want the computer to be able to get better. From query to be able to give you advice, it will remind you that 2 years ago, you said that this sentence or wrong, would not say that, these are useful features. If such function of the air, you will want to use, that's a good thing.
Sarah Lane: totally dependent on technology that will allow us lazy, some things will not do.
Eric Schmidt: I grew up in Virginia, 13 years old has a job, remember to name the capital of every county, Virginia, I remembered. We ask why they are doing it now? I just on a Google map, it's not a waste of time? Because Computers can do better than us, it records those names will do better than us. This requirement for our higher education, more pressure. Traditional Chinese education is very good, for example, secret of China's success in the future is to let more people have access to education. More than 100 years ago, United States there was a revolutionary movement, to offer free high school education, that all Americans will benefit from free high school education. This is very important, because you can make a lot of people got a good education, we now require higher, not by rote is enough. We want you to better competition, provide value, to provide you with better service, you have to think, you have to get a good education. Computerization is in fact force us to get a better education, which is not a new thing. Twenty or thirty years ago, manufacturing robots, making a lot of people have lost their jobs, people who now work with robots, they pay much higher than the salary of the person being replaced by robots.
Sarah Lane: Please have a forecast after 10, 20 education industry what would it be like, will join today is very different?
Eric Schmidt: I think the world of the University, of the University will become more valuable, because you can let everyone come together to learn. Environment of globalization should be more valuable, various automated remote learning to learn in a different form, not in an isolated environment to learn. The last 20 years, what is our greatest accomplishment? Humanity's greatest achievements, was the most extensive achievements under 2 billion people from absolute poverty to the middle class, it is the success of globalization. Globalization has also brought a more secure environment for development, due to the development of mobile technologies, to let me predicts that I think the next 5-10 year 3 billion or 4 billion people through mobile technology that everyone is connected. 8 billion and 7 billion people so that everyone is connected, so you can have more entertainment technology or other living facilities to enjoy, this development is very fast. Sometimes we think we are leaping development, development opportunities in China than the United States has more.
Sarah Lane: do you think big companies like Google do lightweight development direction in the future?
Eric Schmidt: I think a huge economy or the company has to take into account the wide range of development, in fact, Google is not the only one in this regard. We have a lot of parent companies and subsidiaries, a very interesting organization, we have an independent company CEO during operation, there are some smaller holding companies to operate their own, I think from a financial point of view better, real benefit or advantage is that you have a very good leaders, they have the best expertise, they know how to respond to this market. This is also why we do some small cause of satellite companies, in Google under the framework of a better development, whether in transport, and intelligent technology, and so on.
Sarah Lane: last week, the Wall Street Journal mentioned on Android and JAVA and Chrome a corporate fit, you got any comments on this?
Eric Schmidt: for example, we extract an App later to pack it into the Android system, transfers from one platform to another platform now has become very convenient. Three platform itself was very successful, was not a stop and back a new, or elimination of an old to create a new, but more widely used platform application can make.
Android 1.4 billion users, if we secure more value you have to use Chrome. Browser speed is also very amazing, the use of the Internet for the safety of the Chrome browser is awesome, Android is very large, the market is very large, so I can't show a the pros and cons.
Sarah Lane:iPhone special success in China.
Eric Schmidt:iPhone is Apple's most successful product, I can't say which one is the future trend, Huawei, millet, as Apple's competitors, other companies have came from behind to catch up. Each company has a differentiated advantage, making competitive prices can come down. Company in terms of market share is higher than the iPhone.
