The era of artificial intelligence has arrived, and AI chips are becoming more and more popular and sought after as the main computing power engine. In the upcoming 2018, especially after the ZTE crisis, a wave of core-building around AI chips swept through China. This is the best time. Earlier this year, ReportLinker predicted that the global AI chip market will reach $10.8 billion by 2023, with a compound annual growth rate of 53.6%. In China, the AI chip carries the expectation of overtaking in the corner of the integrated circuit industry and is supported and supported by the government from the top down. On July 8, 2017, the State Council issued the 'New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan', proposing the development of intelligent computing chips and systems, focusing on breakthrough energy-efficient, reconfigurable brain computing chips. On December 14, 2017, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the 'Three-Year Action Plan for Promoting the Development of a New Generation of Artificial Intelligence Industry', stating that by 2020, the neural network chip will be mass-produced and scaled up in key areas. This is also a worrying era. This year, the AI chip and the Warring States era accelerated. After Google and Apple, global technology giants such as Facebook, Alibaba, Huawei, and Amazon have successively released AI chip products or strategies and formed confrontation with global semiconductor giants such as NVIDIA, Intel, and Qualcomm. The battle for ecology has finally begun. It can be foreseen that in the future, whoever masters ecology in the field of artificial intelligence will grasp the initiative; and the terminal side AI chip market will begin to permeate the smoke. Pragmatic entrepreneurs hurry to race against time or choose to shed blood, or speed up product launches, or look around for scenes that can start. Under the national heat of the core, 'PPT core' has also occurred from time to time.

AI chip summit will return to Shanghai

In March In 2019, will the ecological dispute between the giants trigger a change in the pattern of the integrated circuit industry? How to make architectural innovation breakthroughs in AI chip design? How does the AI chip scale down on different end-side scenes? Intelligent Industry Media and Innovative Service Platform Zhi will be hosting the GTIC 2019 Global AI at the Jumeirah Himalaya Hotel in Shanghai during the AWE2019 (China Home Appliance&Electronics Expo) on March 15, 2019. Chip Innovation Summit (hereinafter referred to as GTIC 2019 AI Chip Summit).This summit will be the first industry summit focusing on AI chip architecture innovation and application in 2019. It is also the first China AI chip summit successfully held on March 9, 2018 - GTIC 2018 global AI chip innovation After the summit, the second AI chip summit hosted by ZhiDX. As the first AI chip summit in 2019, the GTIC 2019 AI chip summit will be based on the theme of “A new pattern of AI core eco-industry”, designing four major themes, inviting from academia, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, semiconductors, mobile phones, Well-known scholars, algorithms, technology bulls, entrepreneurs, corporate executives and investors in the security and home industries gave wonderful speeches and discussions. The conference will last for one day and it is expected that more than 1,000 people will be present at the event.

GTIC 2019 AI Chip Summit Partially invited guests

Four major themes are 'the AI chip is coming to the era of the giants in the Warring States era,' the 'AI mobile phone era opens up the industry chain to promote new opportunities', 'Security AI chips landing speed in the industry, how to break through the battle' and 'AIOT industry outbreak soon The AI chip accelerates the new track.''The AI chip is coming to the Warring States era. The battle for the giant ecology is one of the themes'. This section will focus on the ecological battle between the emerging AI chip giant and the world's established semiconductor giants around artificial intelligence chips. We will invite executives from semiconductor giants and emerging AI chip giants to give presentations on how the giants are building up their architecture and their artificial intelligence chip strategy. We hope that through this section of the explanation and collision, we can more clearly see the technical trends and development direction of AI chips in 2019.“The AI mobile phone era opens up the industry chain to promote new opportunities” is the second part of the theme section. It will focus on the technological innovation opportunities and application development dividends brought by Huawei and Apple-led mobile phone AI chips to the mobile terminal industry chain. In November this year, Samsung officially released the first SoC chip Exynos 9820 with NPU. Samsung Exynos 9820 is expected to be mass-produced by the end of 2018, and it may be equipped as soon as possible on the Samsung Galaxy S10 mobile phone released at the end of February 2019. This means that the world's three major mobile phone giants Samsung Apple Huawei's mobile phone AI chips have all been in place, almost only waiting for the release of Qualcomm's new version of the Opteron chip, the mobile phone AI chip war will be fully erupted in 2019. We will invite core players in the AI mobile phone industry chain to participate in this section

GTIC 2019 AI Chip Summit Theme Section'Security AI chip landing speed to accelerate the industry in the melee' is the third section of the theme.

As the largest field of artificial intelligence wave, security is also a battleground for this wave of AI chip companies. However, the security chip overlord Heis in this year's strong entry is undoubtedly forced to speed up the AI chip start-ups on the scale, how to break through becomes a big problem. We will invite traditional security companies and AI chip emerging startups to participate in this section to give speeches and exchanges.'AIOT is outbreaking, and the AI chip is accelerating the new track' is the fourth of its kind. The large-scale increase of smart speakers in 2018 led to the accelerated rise of AI voice-specific chips. Some organizations estimate that global smart speaker shipments will reach 62.25 million units in 2018, and it is expected to exceed 90 million units in 2019. Xiao Ai has become the central nerve in Xiaomi's “AIoT” strategy. In the latest organizational restructuring, Alibaba has assigned the artificial intelligence laboratory led by Shallow Snow to the group's innovative business group and reported directly to CEO Yong Zhang. Also in the year of 2018, Yun Zhisheng, go out to ask questions, Rokid, and Spirit have released AI voice chip products, or released a streamline plan. In addition, building a low-power AI chip based on RISC-V is also a new solution. It is foreseeable that the AI chip will accelerate the golden circuit of AIOT in 2019. We will invite relevant chip companies and AioT giants to participate in this section.
