He believes that the emergence of large models will bring fundamental changes to mankind. The Internet has achieved equal access to information, and artificial intelligence will help achieve equality in cognition and knowledge. Li Xiang also elaborated on the three development stages of artificial intelligence: "enhanced capabilities", "my assistant" and "silicon-based family", and elaborated on the future naming issue of Li Auto and the company's vision.
Li Xiang also elaborated on the three development stages of artificial intelligence. The first stage is "enhanced capabilities". In this stage, artificial intelligence mainly plays an auxiliary role, and the decision-making power is still in the hands of the user, such as L3 autonomous driving technology. The second stage is "my assistant". In this stage, artificial intelligence can complete tasks independently and be responsible for the results, such as L4 autonomous driving technology. The third stage, the ultimate stage, is "silicon-based family". In this stage, artificial intelligence does not need instructions and task assignments, and will become a member of the family, even an important organizer of the family. It will understand the user better than the user. yourself and your family and friends.
