On March 9, CCTV's "Dialogue" New Year's Talk programBaiduFounder, Chairman and CEORobin LiSaid that there will be no "programmer"There will be no such profession, because as long as you can speak, anyone can have the ability of a programmer. "In the future, there will be only two programming languages, one is called English and the other is called Chinese." said Robin Li.
Speaking of the "100-model war", Robin Li believes that this is a huge waste of social resources. People should not "roll" big models, but "roll" applications, because only applications can truly create value directly. At the same time, he emphasized that the real value of big models can only be reflected when applications used by hundreds of millions of users are created.
Regarding how the big model will change human life or production in the next two years, Robin Li believes that "the Internet has changed many aspects of our lives. However, this wave of AI changes will be more thorough and profound. Basically, there will be no such profession as programmers in the future. As long as everyone can speak, and may not even need to write, they will have the abilities that programmers have today. In the future, there will only be two programming languages: English and Chinese. These are also the two most advanced languages in the world in terms of AI technology. It is still very exciting."
Li Yanhong also said that in the field of artificial intelligence, young people have less muscle memory. They can put aside various ideological constraints of the past and do things that their predecessors have not done.
