Baidu launched a new AI voice assistant at the 2015 World Congress to provide users with secretarial search services, and intelligent software that can recommend various life services according to user needs
Baidu Dumi Division was established in February 2017, which is independently upgraded by the original Dumi team, and is fully responsible for the DuerOS product and technological innovation of Baidu's conversational artificial intelligence operating system, accelerating the implementation of products in the field of conversational artificial intelligence, and is an important part of Baidu's artificial intelligence strategy. In June of the same year, the Dumi Division set up a R&D team in Silicon Valley, USA, to reserve more abundant technology and resources, so that voice interaction can be better implemented in scene applications. Currently, Baidu currently has teams of about 1,000 people in China and the United States developing artificial intelligence technology.
As early as the 2015 Baidu World Conference, the original Dubi team created the user-loved artificial intelligence voice assistant Dubi App. Through the purely colloquial interaction mode, on the basis of semantic understanding, users can get simple, efficient and interesting needs to be satisfied by multi-round dialogue. After more than 1 year of polishing. At the CES exhibition in January 2017, the Dubi Division officially launched the first conversational artificial intelligence operating system - DuerOS.
DuerOS enables devices to communicate with humans. Devices equipped with DuerOS allow users to interact with each other in natural language to achieve more than 200 functions in 10 categories, such as device control, emotional communication, information query, link service, and schedule management. At the same time, with the help of the cloud brain, DuerOS can continue to learn and evolve and become more and more "smart". It can empower partners in different industries, and is widely used in a variety of scenarios and devices such as speakers, TVs, refrigerators, mobile phones, robots, vehicles, and wearables. At the same time, the Dumi Division has also created a new voice intelligent layering solution Turnkey Solution for B-end manufacturers to meet the needs of various types of manufacturers at different levels and help manufacturers complete intelligent transformation.
As an open operating system, DuerOS also releases an open platform to build a voice AI ecosystem and support the ability access of third-party developers. At present, it has reached strategic cooperation with many domestic and foreign enterprises. With the concept of an open and win-win cooperation ecosystem, DuerOS will connect more partners in the future, combining technologies, scenarios, and devices to create more possibilities.
In the future, Baidu's Dumi Division will continue to conduct in-depth exploration in the field of voice functions to reduce the cost of enterprise artificial intelligence transformation and improve enterprise efficiency. accelerate the integration of industrial innovation and AI to drive industrial upgrading; Create a smarter and more convenient life for users.
