Title: AI Empowered Innovation and Potential Development of New Industries

Abstract: In this talk we present AI Empowered Innovation and Potential Development of New Industries in Tienjin region.

Many of these people are semi-literate, and can only be reached using AI enabled spoken dialog solutions for interaction with the market. We will present two types of Intelligent Assistants, namely, Cognition Amplifiers that will enable us to do many daily tasks faster and with less effort and Guardian Angels that will provide us with superhuman capabilities, and examine how they might lead to opportunities to develop new industries.
