人工知能の第一人者であるワシントン大学教授のペドロ・ドミンゴス氏によると現在ではAI開発で世界最先端を走っているのはGoogleだと述べています。Googleは検索エンジンとして始まった会社ですが、機械学習の質を向上させ、ユーザー一人一人が検索する文字の文脈を理解するようになってきています。Googleのエンジニアは、ゆくゆくは気がつかないほど自然に「検索」といった手続き無しで、デバイスの方から私達に必要な情報を教えてくれるようになるかもしれない、と語っています。最高のAI技術と莫大なデータをを有するGoogleがGoogle Home の売り上げを発売以降、徐々に伸ばして来ています。
PCならWindows vs Apple、携帯ならiOS vs Android、そして各企業の狙いは「スマホの次」のプラットフォームを独占すること。ハードウェアのコモディティ化が起こる局面においても、OSプロバイダーは最大限の利益を得る事ができます。莫大なデータを収集しつつ、顧客との長期的な関係も望めます。
どの企業がこのOS戦争を制するのでしょうか?
Sharing viral videos online has become a beloved pastime. Therefore, we have rolled out a series of viral videos with our client, The Wiseman’s Dining. Soft selling the product benefits in a funny way has successfully got people to click “like” and share it across all social media platforms.
Vala! Here is our Z generation interview the third volume! This time I interviewed Ryan 2nd year at Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He is the same age as me! (the birthday also changes only 4 days!) So then let’s begin!
Young people in Hong Kong also care about privacy!
Like other Hongkongers, Ryan uses also whats app as the main way of reaching people. WhatsApp appeared together when smartphone appeared, so every generation of Hongkongers use it as a must-APP. If LINE first appeared, it would have been LINE that is mainly used in Hong Kong. SNS is the first-come-first-served market.
Also, Ryan seems to be interacting with friends not only with WhatsApp but also with an application called “Telegram”. “Telegram” is an APP that is not familiar to Japanese people. I also heard for the first time this time.
Ryan said, “Telegram has the good part that WhatsApp does not have. Telegram is one of the messaging APP that has two major differences from Whatsapp. The first one is to be able to use the APP without having to tell the phone number. I will use telegram when I do not want to share my personal information with. The second benefit is not displayed online status. Since WhatsApp shows the online status, sometimes it courses problems like “Why are not you replying to me even though you are online?”
Well, yes, the human relationship is difficult …
Facebook is for socializing, getting information. Instagram is for peeping peer’s private life. YouTube is like the alternative TV. But the recent posting on these social media has become a hassle …
It seems that Ryan mainly uses Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube to collect information. After all, it was Facebook that I felt it is very different from how Japanese people use Facebook. Ryan seems to be checking recent trends and new products from corporates. It seems to be playing a role like Twitter in Japan.
In the past, I often posted pictures and posts I took, but the current timeline seems to be full of advertisements. I also told him that it is quite the same as the situation of Twitter in Japan. It is troublesome to post everyone recently, regardless of the social platforms.
Instagram is used for checking friends’ photos and lives. It sounds that there relatively more people update Instagram than other social platforms.
He also uses YouTube to watch ACG. ACG is the initial letter of animation, comic, game of Japan. Japan’s subculture is also very popular in Hong Kong. Also, he is checking “Apple Daily” dealing with the news.
* His favourite YouTuber! “Hajime-Shyacho” is very popular YouTuber in Japan. It is surprising that young Hongkonger is watching his channel too!
So this is it for this interview. Personally, I am really curious where he could get the doggy hoodie! Although, I will be so shy to wear it in Japan. (That is too stand out!)
