Digital Leadership Training Series:
The Power Duo of AI & Big Data

WHAT IS THE POWER DUO OF AI & BIG DATA?  

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is only possible with big data, because we need a tremendous amount of data to “teach” or “train” AI systems. As its name suggests, AI has a form of intelligence of its own. It figures out which rules to follow based on the data that we feed them.

An AI application doesn’t just do what it’s been programmed to do. AI can go further than that. It responds to changing information and makes adjustment based on what it learns as it goes along. AI differs from supercomputers and other systems with powerful computing capabilities in one important way. AI systems are capable of not just computing, but actual learning — machine learning. The more data you give these machine learning networks and the more computational capability you give them, the better the result becomes because the results of previous machine-learning exercises can be fed back into the algorithms.

What is a platform?  

What do these top companies like Alibaba, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, Netflix, Tencent and Ctrip have in common? Apart from being the world’s highest valuated businesses, they are the world’s most influential platforms.

Defining platforms

By operating as open ecosystems, companies match suppliers of products, services, or content to consumers, and gain enormous value and market share.  These companies, known as multilateral platforms, act as intermediaries, connecting service providers and users to serve users of different needs.

2015年是全球创新者丰收的一年。我们已经目睹了阿里巴巴(Alibaba)在2015年11月11日创造的奇迹和亚马逊(Amazon)在2015年7月的市值已超过沃尔玛(Wal-Mart)。社交,移动,大数据分析和云计算(SMAC)的创新在全球驱动了很多颠覆性的商业模式,如Uber,Airbnb及Facebook等。在过去的几年里,我们目睹了不少新的商业模式打败了传统产业的领导者。此外,在硅谷,北京,深圳和新加坡的初创公司,正在不断发展及运用SMAC创造颠覆性的商业模式。下一个倒下的强人会是谁?这些惊人的颠覆性商业模式对中国企业的领导者、IT专业人士及创业者的启发是什么?其实,中国是有潜力成为亚太区科技创业公司的中心,能进一步吸引更多跨国投资者和全世界的精英来中国发展,而更重要的是运用科技改革中国传统企业的商业模式。在此次研讨会上,湛家扬博士将会与参与者分享不同的创新商业模式及中国可以借鉴学习的地方。
