Baidu's cloud-based universal AI chip Baidu Kunlun, developed by Baidu, is already in use on Baidu's own search engine, which is handling a large number of requests on searches every day, Baidu vice president Wu Tian said on October 14.
She said the chip brings the new semantic understanding technology of artificial intelligence to search to improve the effectiveness of search.
Wu Tian delivered a keynote speech at the Digital Economy Leaders Forum at the opening of the 2020 China International Infocomm Exhibition on Oct. 14.

In addition to its own business, Baidu is also opening up its AI capabilities to the outside world to support the various needs of enterprises when it comes to intelligence, such as in the energy industry, where safety production, intelligent dispatching, inspection, and intelligent customer service are all very important application scenarios, she said.
However, after the infrastructure has been provided for the enterprise, the talent is needed to make better use of this infrastructure.
She believes that in the process of the digital upgrade of enterprises, the most lacking is actually a composite talent, which understands both the boundaries of technology and business understanding.
Based on the infrastructure provided by Baidu, has also been committed to building a training system to be able to promote the training of talent in the whole society, said Wu Tian, adding that currently Baidu has trained more than 1 million AI talents, and in the future hope to train more.
