Artificial Intelligence, abbreviated as AI. it is a new technological science that researches and develops theories, methods, technologies, and application systems for modeling, extending, and expanding human intelligence. Artificial Intelligence is a branch of computer science that attempts to understand the essence of intelligence and produce a new intelligent machine that can respond in a manner similar to human intelligence.Research in this field includes robotics, language recognition, image recognition, natural language processing and expert systems. Since the birth of artificial intelligence, the theory and technology have become more and more mature, and the field of application has been expanding. It can be envisioned that the technology products brought by artificial intelligence in the future will be the "containers" of human intelligence. Artificial intelligence can simulate the information process of human consciousness and thinking. Artificial intelligence is not human intelligence, but can think like a person, may also exceed human intelligence.

Recently, Qualcomm announced a partnership with Shangtang Technology in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) around products in the field of mobile terminals and the Internet of Things (IoT). In other words, Qualcomm's Snapdragon chip in the top and high-end positioning of the product, will appear from the Shangtang algorithms, to further optimize the experience, to bring customers a more comprehensive and detailed use of enhancement. In fact, chip-level AI (Native) computing and the cloud are indispensable, and this year's A11 Bionic and Kirin 970 have all used it as a selling point. Of course, Qualcomm's layout is actually very early, such as the Zeroth neural processing engine on the Snapdragon 820, the Snapdragon 835's upgraded version of the engine (adding support for Google TensorFlow, etc.) and Hexagon DSP with Hexagon Vector Extension (HVX) features, which means that at the same time it is the CPU/GPU/DSP that does the heterogeneous computing.

Artificial Intelligence is becoming more and more popular, and according to relevant experts, by 2020 1/3 of all smartphones shipped will have AI capabilities, amounting to over 500 million units. We are all looking forward to the popularization of AI, and also look forward to some of the changes that this AI will bring to our lives.
