Podcast appearances and mentions of Lei Jun

Xiaomi Corp said on Monday that it will unveil its 3-nanometer XRing O1 chip for smartphones on Thursday, marking the company's revived ambitions to bolster its semiconductor prowess.小米公司周一宣布，将于周四发布其3纳米智能手机芯片XRing O1，这标志着该公司重振半导体实力的雄心。The new chip, a result of over four years of intensive research and development efforts, will position Xiaomi to compete directly with leading global chip designers, but it remains to be seen how the actual products will perform on handsets, experts said.这款新芯片是小米历经四年多潜心研发的成果，将使其能够与全球领先的芯片设计公司直接竞争，但专家表示，实际产品在手机上的表现如何仍有待观察。Lei Jun, CEO and chairman of Xiaomi, said via a post on Sina Weibo that the company's cumulative investment in the XRing O1 chips had exceeded 13.5 billion yuan ($1.9 billion) by the end of April.小米首席执行官兼董事长雷军在新浪微博上表示，截至4月底，公司在XRing O1芯片上的累计投资已超过135亿元人民币（约合19亿美元）。The investment is part of Xiaomi's broader ambition to invest 50 billion yuan into chip R&D from 2021 to 2031.这项投资是小米宏伟计划的一部分，该计划旨在从2021年到2031年在芯片研发上投入500亿元人民币。Xiaomi now has a 2,500-strong semiconductor R&D team driving innovation, enforcing its position among China's top three chip design firms in both R&D spending and team scale, Lei said.雷军表示，小米目前拥有一支2500人的半导体研发团队，致力于推动创新，巩固了其在研发支出和团队规模方面位居中国三大芯片设计公司之列。The company's top executive also emphasized the significance of the achievement.该公司高管也强调了这一成就的意义。"Reaching this milestone demanded unwavering commitment, courage and substantial technical and financial resources. The XRing O1 marks just the beginning of our journey to redefine high-end semiconductor capabilities in the global market."“达到这一里程碑需要坚定不移的承诺、勇气以及大量的技术和资金投入。XRing O1标志着我们在全球市场上重新定义高端半导体能力的征程的开始。”XRing O1 is Xiaomi's dramatic comeback in the high-stakes arena of advanced chip design after an 11-year journey marred by setbacks and reinvention. In 2014, Xiaomi launched its inaugural semiconductor project—code-named Surge—targeting mid-to-high-end mobile chips, Lei recalled.XRing O1是小米在经历了11年充满挫折和重塑的旅程后，在高风险的先进芯片设计领域强势回归的成果。雷军回忆说，2014年，小米启动了其首个半导体项目——代号为Surge——瞄准中高端移动芯片。In 2017, Xiaomi debuted its Surge S1 System-on-Chip (SoC) for smartphones, but commercial challenges forced a strategic retreat from large-scale chip development. After the setback, Xiaomi shifted focus to "small chips", releasing over a dozen specialized semiconductors for fast charging, imaging, battery management and 5G connectivity, while quietly honing R&D expertise.2017年，小米推出了用于智能手机的澎湃S1系统级芯片（SoC），但商业挑战迫使其从大规模芯片研发战略上撤退。遭遇挫折后，小米将重心转向“小芯片”，发布了十几款用于快速充电、成像、电池管理和5G连接等应用的专用半导体芯片，同时悄悄提升研发实力。Concurrent with its electric vehicle venture, Xiaomi secretly greenlit the XRing project in 2021 to reboot flagship SoC development, vowing to conquer cutting-edge process nodes.在推进电动汽车业务的同时，小米于2021年秘密批准了XRing项目，重启旗舰SoC研发，誓要征服尖端工艺节点。"We aim to develop chips with the most advanced chip manufacturing prowess, and first-tier performance and efficiency, aligning with Xiaomi's premium device strategy," Lei added.“我们的目标是开发拥有最先进芯片制造技术、一流性能和效率的芯片，与小米的高端设备战略保持一致。”雷军补充道。Xiang Ligang, director-general of the Zhongguancun Modern Information Consumer Application Industry Technology Alliance, a telecom industry association, said Xiaomi's attempts to make inroads into the competitive chip industry highlight its determination to differentiate its products from a crowd of rivals and to seek growth via innovation.中关村现代信息消费应用产业技术联盟理事长项立刚表示，小米试图进军竞争激烈的芯片行业，凸显了其致力于在众多竞争对手中脱颖而出，并通过创新寻求增长的决心。In the first quarter, Xiaomi was the third-largest smartphone vendor worldwide, only behind Samsung and Apple, in terms of smartphone shipments, according to market research firm TechInsights.据市场研究公司TechInsights称，今年第一季度，小米是全球第三大智能手机厂商，出货量仅次于三星和苹果。Xiaomi accounted for 14.1 percent of the global smartphone market, with about 42 million smartphones shipped out of factories to retailers worldwide from January to March, marking a 2.7 percent year-on-year growth, TechInsights said.TechInsights表示，小米占据了全球智能手机市场的14.1%，1-3月，全球约有4200万部智能手机从工厂发货到零售商，同比增长2.7%。Xiaomi is one of a growing number of Chinese companies that are devoting a large amount of resources to the semiconductor sector, as they increasingly realize the importance of chips in driving innovation, experts added.专家补充道，小米是越来越多向半导体领域投入大量资源的中国公司之一，因为他们越来越意识到芯片在推动创新方面的重要性。revive/riˈvaɪv/v.复兴；重新振作prowess/ˈpraʊəs/n.高超技艺；非凡能力milestone/ˈmaɪlstəʊn/n.重要阶段；里程碑flagship/ˈflæɡʃɪp/adj.旗舰的；最重要的

En el Radar Empresarial aparece una compañía que puede ser uno de los fabricantes automovilísticos de moda en 2025: Xiaomi. La compañía china no solo se dedica a la venta de móviles, también distribuye ordenadores, televisores, auriculares y desde el 2021 tomó la decisión de entrar en la industria automotriz. Lo que más ha llamado la atención al mercado es la rapidez con la que Xiaomi pudo lanzar su primer modelo Xiaomi SU7. En 2023 empezaron las pruebas y en abril de 2024 la compañía se encargó de los primeros pedidos masivos. Ahora, menos de un año después, ha entregado 29.000 unidades en marzo. Pero los objetivos que se pone la compañía son aún mayores: espera entregar 350.000 unidades este año. Clave para entender la rapidez que tienen los fabricantes chinos de vehículos es ver cuál es el apoyo que les brinda el gobierno. Entre 2009 y 2023, año en que Xiaomi empieza a entregar los primeros pedidos anticipados, el gigante asiático dio una ayuda de 215.000 millones de euros. Esto se traduce en una mayor presencia de coches chinos en Europa. En 2024, se vendieron cerca de 386.000 vehículos. Una cifra aún mejor de los 243.000 coches vendidos en 2023. La competencia es feroz dentro de China por eso ¿Es capaz Xiaomi de competir con otros fabricantes chinos? Aunque estos fabricantes tienen que enfrentarse a los aranceles de Estados Unidos. El 3 de abril entraron en vigor los gravámenes del 25% a todos los vehículos que se produzcan fuera del país norteamericano. ¿Cómo se enfrentarán a estas medidas? Una de las grandes características de los modelos Xiaomi es la innovación tecnológica que aplica en sus vehículos. Aunque esta innovación a veces sale mal. El SU7 sufrió un accidente en una carretera el pasado martes que dejó tres muertos. El fabricante de automóviles indicó que el coche estaba en modo de navegación automática antes del accidente. Xiaomi fue fundada por el ingeniero electrónico chino Lei Jun en 2010. Al principio fundó la empresa de software Kingsoft y poco después la compañía de móviles. Desde el principio, tanto Jun como su equipo de ingenieros buscaron ofrecer la tecnología más vanguardista con el mejor precio. Según datos de Canalys, en 2024, la compañía alcanzó una cuota de mercado del 13,8%, consolidándose como el tercer mayor fabricante de smartphones a nivel mundial.

Chinese authorities issued guidelines on Friday requiring labels on all artificial intelligence-generated content circulated online, aiming to combat the misuse of AI and the spread of false information.中国政府周五发布指导方针，要求在网上传播的所有人工智能生成的内容上标注标签，旨在打击滥用人工智能和传播虚假信息的行为。The regulations, jointly issued by the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security, and the National Radio and Television Administration, will take effect on Sept 1.该规定由中国网络空间管理局、工业和信息化部、公安部、国家广播电视总局联合发布，将于9月1日起施行。A spokesperson for the Cyberspace Administration said the move aims to "put an end to the misuse of AI generative technologies and the spread of false information."网络空间管理局发言人表示，此举旨在“杜绝人工智能生成技术的滥用和虚假信息的传播”。The guidelines stipulate that content generated or synthesized using AI technologies, including texts, images, audios, videos and virtual scenes, must be labeled both visibly and invisibly.该准则规定，利用人工智能技术生成或合成的内容，包括文本、图像、音频、视频和虚拟场景，都必须以显性和隐性方式进行标注。For content generated by deep synthesis technologies that might confuse or mislead the public, explicit labels must be placed in a reasonable position to ensure public awareness.对于深度合成技术生成的可能混淆或误导公众的内容，必须在合理的位置贴上明确标签，以确保公众知晓。Explicit labels are those applied within the generated content or user interface, presented in forms such as text, sound, or graphics that are clearly perceptible to users.显性标签是在生成的内容或用户界面中使用的标签，以用户可清晰感知的文字、声音或图形等形式呈现。Additionally, the guideline requires that implicit labels be added to the metadata of generated content files. These labels should include details about the content's attributes, the service provider's name or code, and content identification numbers.此外，该准则还要求在生成内容文件的元数据中添加隐含标签。这些标签应包括内容属性的详细信息、服务提供商的名称或代码以及内容识别码。Metadata files are descriptive information embedded in the file's header, recording details about the content's source, attributes and purpose.元数据文件是嵌入文件头的描述性信息，记录了有关内容来源、属性和目的的详细信息。Service providers that disseminate content online must verify that the metadata of the content files contain implicit AIGC labels, and that users have declared the content as AI-generated or synthesized. Prominent labels should also be added around the content to inform users.在线传播内容的服务提供商必须核实内容文件的元数据是否包含隐含的AIGC标签，以及用户是否已将内容声明为人工智能生成或合成的内容。还应在内容周围添加醒目的标签，以告知用户。AI generative technology has been used to create seemingly realistic content for publicity stunts or commercial gain. For instance, a news report claiming that one in every 20 individuals born in the 1980s had passed away caused a public uproar last month, only to be revealed as a rumor fabricated by AI.人工智能生成技术已被用于创建看似逼真的内容，以达到宣传噱头或商业利益的目的。例如，上个月一则新闻报道称，每20个上世纪80年代出生的人中就有一个已经去世，这引起了公众的轩然大波，后来才发现这是人工智能编造的谣言。AI generative technology has also been used to clone the voices and faces of many celebrities to produce deepfakes, which constitutes infringement and should be subject to legal accountability.人工智能生成技术还被用来克隆很多明星的声音和脸，制造深度假象，这已经构成侵权，应该受到法律的追究。Earlier this month, 14th National People's Congress deputy and Xiaomi Corp founder Lei Jun, and 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference member and actor Jin Dong, both proposed establishing laws and regulations for AI-generated content during the annual sessions of the 14th NPC and 14th CPPCC National Committee.本月初，十四届全国人大代表、小米公司创始人雷军和十四届全国政协委员、演员靳东在十四届全国人大和十四届全国政协的年度会议上，均建议建立人工智能生成内容的法律法规。"Some viewers who like my movies and TV shows have been deceived by deepfake videos that clone my face, which is a very malicious act. I hope relevant rules can be established and enhanced," said Jin Dong during a panel discussion during the two sessions.“一些喜欢我影视作品的观众被克隆我脸的深度伪造视频欺骗，这是一种非常恶意的行为。我希望能够建立和完善相关的规则。"靳东在两会期间的小组讨论中说道。Tu Lingbo, a professor at the Communication University of China, told China Daily in a previous interview that the influx of unlabeled content generated by AI could disrupt the internet ecosystem and pose challenges to internet governance.中国传媒大学教授涂凌波此前在接受《中国日报》采访时表示，人工智能产生的大量无标签内容的涌入，可能会扰乱互联网生态，给互联网治理带来挑战。"Relevant laws and regulations on AI-generated content should be established and improved," Tu said.涂凌波说："应建立健全人工智能生成内容的相关法律法规。”combatvt.与…战斗；反对vi.战斗；搏斗n.战斗；争论guidelinen. 指导方针,准则generativeadj.能生产的,有生产力的maliciousadj.恶意的,恶毒的

The fast-evolving artificial intelligence technology is expected to spearhead an industrial revolution and expedite the development of China's autonomous and intelligent connected vehicles, as AI is emerging as a critical strategic opportunity for the automotive industry, said national lawmakers, political advisers and experts. 快速演进的人工智能技术有望引领一场产业革命，并加速中国自动驾驶和智能网联汽车的发展。随着人工智能成为汽车行业的关键战略机遇，全国人大代表、政协委员及专家表示，中国需加快推动自动驾驶技术的大规模生产和商业化。 As China is accelerating steps to advance the mass production and commercialization of self-driving vehicles, more efforts should be made to improve the regulations and standards for autonomous driving, speed up the construction of intelligent transportation infrastructure, and expand the testing and application for autonomous vehicles in a wider range of scenarios, they added. 随着中国加速推进自动驾驶汽车的量产和商业化，专家建议进一步加强自动驾驶法规和标准建设，加快智能交通基础设施布局，并扩大自动驾驶在更广泛场景下的测试和应用。 Their comments follow this year's Government Work Report which stated that under the AI Plus initiative, China will support the extensive application of large-scale AI models and vigorously develop new-generation intelligent terminals and smart manufacturing equipment, including intelligent connected new energy vehicles. 这一观点呼应了今年《政府工作报告》中提出的“人工智能+”行动。报告指出，中国将支持大规模人工智能模型的应用推广，并大力发展新一代智能终端和智能制造装备，包括智能网联新能源汽车。 He Xiaopeng, chairman and CEO of Chinese electric vehicle maker Xpeng Motors, said a transformative AI era is approaching, and AI will accelerate the arrival of self-driving vehicles and even driverless vehicles. He emphasized that his company has continued to invest in AI and launched its self-developed AI-powered chips to enhance the intelligent driving capabilities of vehicles. 中国电动汽车制造商小鹏汽车董事长兼CEO何小鹏表示，人工智能变革时代即将到来，AI将加速自动驾驶甚至无人驾驶汽车的落地。他强调，小鹏汽车持续投入AI研发，并推出自研的人工智能芯片以提升车辆的智能驾驶能力。 The Xpeng CEO, who is also a deputy to the 14th National People's Congress, China's top legislature, said he believes that 2025 will mark a significant turning point in intelligent driving. With the continuous advancements and breakthroughs in core technologies such as algorithms, sensors and computing platforms, it is appropriate to bolster the mass production of Level 3 autonomous driving technology, he added. 何小鹏同时也是全国人大代表。他认为，2025年将是智能驾驶的重要转折点。随着算法、传感器和计算平台等核心技术的持续突破，推动三级（L3）自动驾驶技术量产是恰当时机。 Autonomous driving is categorized from Level 0 to Level 5. The higher the level, the more intelligent the technology and the lesser the involvement of humans. Level 3 refers to conditional automation, which allows vehicles to perform autonomous driving tasks under certain conditions. Such vehicles have "environmental detection" capabilities and can make some informed decisions, but are still subject to a human override. 自动驾驶技术分为0至5级，级别越高，技术智能化程度越高，人类参与度越低。三级自动驾驶属于“有条件自动化”，允许车辆在特定条件下自主完成驾驶任务。此类车辆具备“环境感知”能力，可做出部分决策，但仍需人类接管。 "Xpeng is planning to roll out its Level 3 capabilities in the second half of the year," He said, adding that by 2026, the company aims to explore Level 4 (high automation) capabilities, including fully driverless parking. Level 4 vehicles can intervene if there is a system failure and do not require human assistance in most circumstances. However, a manual override option is still available. “小鹏计划在今年下半年推出三级自动驾驶功能，”何小鹏表示，到2026年，公司计划探索四级（高度自动化）技术，包括完全无人泊车功能。四级车辆在系统故障时可主动干预，多数情况下无需人工辅助，但仍保留人工接管选项。 Feng Xingya, chairman of automobile manufacturer GAC Group, said, "The advancements in AI technology are becoming the core driving force bolstering the development of intelligent connected vehicles, and the application of AI will help reshape the automotive industry." AI is reshaping the intelligent experience of automobiles --- from intelligent driving to human-machine interaction --- and driving the transformation of automobiles toward "intelligent terminals", said Feng, who is also a national lawmaker. 广汽集团董事长冯兴亚表示：“人工智能技术进步正成为支撑智能网联汽车发展的核心动力，AI应用将重塑汽车产业。”冯兴亚同时也是全国人大代表。他指出，AI正在重塑汽车的智能化体验——从智能驾驶到人机交互——并推动汽车向‘智能终端'转型。 Looking ahead, GAC will promote the iteration of advanced intelligent driving and AI models, while speeding up the application of AI in fields such as automobile research and development, manufacturing and marketing, he added. While highlighting the significance of bolstering the commercialization of self-driving technology, Feng said that autonomous driving serves as the core technology of intelligent connected vehicles and a vital link in intelligent transportation. 冯兴亚透露，未来广汽将推动高阶智能驾驶和AI模型的迭代，同时加速AI在汽车研发、制造和营销等领域的应用。他还强调，自动驾驶是智能网联汽车的核心技术，也是智能交通的关键环节。 GAC is among the first carmakers to test Level 3 autonomous vehicles on public roads, and it plans to mass produce these vehicles this year. Feng suggested revising the Road Traffic Safety Law to clarify the liabilities concerning autonomous vehicles and accelerating the research and establishment of a specific law related to intelligent driving. 广汽是国内首批在公开道路测试三级自动驾驶车辆的车企，并计划今年实现量产。冯兴亚建议修订《道路交通安全法》，明确自动驾驶车辆的责任划分，并加快研究制定智能驾驶专门法律。 China has introduced a series of policies to promote the development and commercialization of autonomous vehicles in recent years. According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the country supports the commercial application of Level 3 and above autonomous driving systems. Over 50 cities nationwide have released autonomous driving pilot demonstration policies, and stepped up efforts to expand the application scenarios of self-driving technology. 近年来，中国已推出一系列政策推动自动驾驶技术发展和商业化。据工业和信息化部，中国支持三级及以上自动驾驶系统的商业化应用。目前全国已有超50个城市发布自动驾驶试点示范政策，并加紧拓展自动驾驶技术的应用场景。 Wang Xianjin, vice-president and chief engineer of the China Academy of Transportation Sciences, said the testing and operation of self-driving vehicles has accelerated significantly in China, laying a good foundation for the commercialization of autonomous driving, a tech frontier in which all major economies are scrambling to establish a beachhead. 中国交通科学院副院长兼总工程师王先进表示，中国自动驾驶车辆的测试和运营已显著加速，为自动驾驶商业化奠定了良好基础。这一技术领域正成为全球主要经济体竞相布局的前沿。 Wang, who is also a national political adviser, called for efforts to speed up formulation and revision of policies and regulations supporting the commercial application of self-driving technology, and continuously expand the scale of pilot operations of autonomous vehicles in more cities. 王先进同时也是全国政协委员。他呼吁加快制定和修订支持自动驾驶技术商业化应用的政策法规，并持续扩大更多城市自动驾驶试点运营规模。 Lei Jun, founder, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi Corp and a national lawmaker, proposed establishing a national testing and verification system for autonomous vehicles. He stressed the need to accelerate the commercial mass production of self-driving vehicles, with the goal of supporting their use on highways, expressways and urban roads by 2026. 全国人大代表、小米集团创始人雷军建议建立国家级自动驾驶测试认证体系，并强调需加快自动驾驶汽车商业化量产，目标到2026年支持其在高速公路、快速路和城市道路上的应用。spearheadn. 先锋,先头部队vt.当…的先锋,带头scenariosn. 情节；剧本；方案iterationn. 反复demonstrationn. 表明;证明;示范

Tech advancement can transform industries, foster new sectors, Xiaomi's Lei Jun saysTechnological advancement plays a critical role in transforming traditional industries and fostering emerging sectors, and Xiaomi Corp will continue to innovate so as to contribute to China's path to modernization, said Lei Jun, deputy to the 14th National People's Congress, China's top legislature.全国人大代表雷军表示，科技进步在传统行业转型、培育新兴领域过程中发挥着关键作用，小米集团将继续走科技创新的道路，为推进中国式现代化贡献自己的力量。Lei, CEO and chairman of Xiaomi Corp, said at the sidelines of the ongoing two sessions on Wednesday that "Over the past 15 years, Xiaomi has deeply understood that technological innovation is the cornerstone of progress."3月5日，小米集团董事长兼首席执行官雷军在两会会场表示：“过去15年来，小米深刻体会到，科技创新是进步的基石。”"Five years ago, we committed to investing heavily in core technologies, setting a goal to spend 100 billion yuan ($13.8 billion) on research and development. Today, we have exceeded that target, investing about 105 billion yuan."“5年前，我们就下决心加大核心技术投资力度，设定了1000亿元人民币（138亿美元）的研发投资目标。如今，我们已超额完成这一目标，投资总额约达1050亿元人民币。”Lei highlighted two major achievements underpinned by Xiaomi's innovation strategy. First, Xiaomi has maintained its position among the top three global smartphone manufacturers for 18 consecutive quarters. Additionally, its smart home internet of things platform, developed in collaboration with partners, now connects over 900 million devices, making it the largest consumer IoT platform globally.雷军强调了小米创新战略取得的两大成就。首先，小米已经连续18个季度稳居全球智能手机制造商前三名。此外，小米与合作伙伴共同开发的智能家居物联网平台现已连接9亿多台设备，成为全球最大的消费级物联网平台。"This reflects the growing global recognition of Chinese technology products and brands," Lei noted.雷军指出：“这表明全球用户越来越认可中国的技术产品和品牌。”Second, Xiaomi entered the new energy vehicle (NEV) sector four years ago, launching its first car in March 2024. Despite being a newcomer, Xiaomi delivered 135,000 vehicles within just nine months, earning strong consumer approval. Lei attributed this success to breakthroughs like the Xiaomi Super Motor V8S, the world's highest-performance mass-produced drive motor, entirely self-developed and manufactured by Xiaomi.其次，小米在4年前进入新能源汽车（NEV）领域，并于2024年3月发布了首款汽车。作为汽车产业的新人，小米在短短9个月内就交付了13.5万辆汽车，受到了广大用户的好评。雷军将这一成功归因于小米的突破性成果，如小米超级电机V8S，这款已量产的驱动电机完全由小米自主研发和生产，拥有全球最强大的性能。Lei also expressed gratitude to Beijing, calling it a "fertile ground" for Xiaomi's growth. He reaffirmed Xiaomi's commitment to innovation and high-end development, stating, "Manufacturing is the foundation of China's strength. As both a builder and beneficiary of this sector, Xiaomi will continue to innovate, integrate cutting-edge AI technologies into our products, and contribute to China's path to modernization while enhancing consumers' lives through technology."雷军还对北京表示感谢，称北京是小米成长的“沃土”。他重申小米对科技创新和高端发展的承诺，表示：“制造业是中国强国之基。小米作为这一领域的建设者和受益者，将继续坚持走科技创新的道路，将先进的人工智能技术应用于我们的产品，为推进中国式现代化贡献自己的力量，并通过科技提升消费者的生活品质。”beneficiaryn.受益人

China's continued support for the private sector, reiterated by President Xi Jinping, is expected to fuel further growth of tech and emerging industries, while promoting private enterprises to embrace another spring and play a bigger role in the country's economic transformation, company executives and economists said on Tuesday.2月18日，公司高管和经济学家表示，中国国家主席习近平重申要持续支持民营企业，这将进一步推动科技和新兴产业的发展，同时民营企业也将迎来又一个“春天”，在中国经济转型中发挥更大作用。Their comments came after Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, attended a symposium on private enterprises in Beijing and delivered an important speech on Monday.2月17日，中共中央总书记、国家主席、中央军委主席习近平在京出席民营企业座谈会并发表重要讲话。座谈会后，公司高管和经济学家发表了上述评论。In his speech, Xi emphasized the role of private enterprises in advancing China's broader goals in technological innovation, promoting rural vitalization and improving people's well-being.习近平在讲话中强调，民营企业在加快实现技术创新、乡村振兴、改善民生等国家远景目标方面发挥着重要作用。Xu Guanju, chairman of Transfar Group, a leading chemicals manufacturer, said in an interview with China Daily on Tuesday that while the breakthroughs made by Chinese artificial intelligence companies made them immensely proud and boosted their confidence in facing future challenges, the encouragement from China's top leadership was even more inspiring.2月18日，化工巨头传化集团董事长徐冠巨接受《中国日报》采访时表示，中国人工智能公司的突破让他们感到无比自豪，为他们更加信心满怀地应对未来挑战加了一把劲，而中国最高领导层的鼓励更让他们备受鼓舞。"It has greatly motivated us to work together to accelerate the development of new quality productive forces in the future, and embrace the AI era," said Xu, who attended the symposium on Monday.2月17日，徐冠巨在参加座谈会后说道：“这极大地激励了我们携手共进，加快发展新质生产力，积极拥抱AI时代。”The gathering saw a strong presence of companies from technology and emerging sectors, with notable names including Huawei's Ren Zhengfei, BYD's Wang Chuanfu, Will Semiconductor's Yu Renrong, Unitree Robotics' Wang Xingxing and Xiaomi's Lei Jun.此次座谈会汇聚了众多科技和新兴行业的公司代表，包括华为技术有限公司首席执行官任正非、比亚迪股份有限公司董事长王传福、上海韦尔半导体股份有限公司董事长虞仁荣、杭州宇树科技有限公司首席执行官王兴兴、小米科技有限责任公司董事长雷军等知名企业家。Zhang Jun, chief economist at China Galaxy Securities, noted that some of the private enterprises that attended the symposium are not big in terms of business scale or revenue, but have strong growth potential.中国银河证券首席经济学家章俊指出，参加座谈会的部分民营企业虽然没有庞大的业务规模或高收入，但具有强大的增长潜力。"It reaffirmed private enterprises' past breakthroughs in new quality productive forces, while highlighting the government's determination to cultivate future industries," Zhang said.章俊表示：“这既肯定了过去民企在新质生产力相关领域的技术突破，又凸显了政府对培育未来产业的决心。”Observers said the participation of private enterprises from both traditional and emerging sectors showed the continuous emphasis China's top leadership places on the role of the manufacturing industry in the Chinese economy.观察人士称，传统行业和新兴行业的民营企业均参加了此次座谈会，表明中国最高领导层持续重视制造业在中国经济中的作用。Liu Yonghao, founder of New Hope Group, a leading enterprise in agricultural industrialization, told China Daily on Tuesday that technology not only flourishes in high-end manufacturing and AI sectors, but also drives innovative growth in traditional sectors such as agriculture.2月18日，农业产业化龙头企业新希望集团创始人刘永好接受《中国日报》采访时表示，技术发展不仅在高端制造、人工智能等方面取得成绩，也推动了农业等传统行业的创新增长。"Inspired by the top leadership's remarks, our company will capitalize on favorable policies and make efforts to propel further growth amid complex challenges," said Liu, who also attended the symposium.参加本次座谈会的刘永好说：“最高领导层的讲话让我们备受启发，我们公司会利用国家的好政策，在复杂局面下继续努力拼搏，推动企业更好地发展。”Recalling that the previous such symposium on private enterprises, which was presided over by President Xi in 2018, was followed by a three-year bull run in China's A-share market, Zhang, from China Galaxy Securities, said that Monday's meeting will "help enhance the confidence of market entities, dispel concerns about uncertainty and play a decisive role in stabilizing the market".中国银河证券首席经济学家章俊回忆，上一次由习近平主席主持的同等规格民营企业座谈会在2018年，会后中国A股市场迎来了时长3年的牛市。他表示，2月17日的座谈会将“有助于提振市场主体的信心，打消对不确定性的疑虑，对于稳定市场起到一锤定音的效果”。Xu Hongcai, a renowned economist and deputy head of the financial and economic affairs committee of the National People's Congress, said that Xi's remarks "conveyed a clear signal that even with the changing and volatile economic and trade policies of some foreign countries, China remains focused on high-quality economic development as always".著名经济学家、全国人大财政经济委员会副主任委员许宏才表示，习近平的讲话“传递了一个明确信号，即在其他国家经贸政策风云变幻的情况下，中国一如既往集中精力于高质量经济发展”。At Monday's symposium, Xi said the government's basic principles and policies concerning the development of the private economy have been incorporated into the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics and will consistently be upheld and fulfilled. "They cannot and will not be changed," he said.2月17日，习近平在座谈会上表示，政府对民营经济发展的基本方针政策已经纳入中国特色社会主义制度体系，将一以贯之坚持和落实。他表示：“这些不能变，也不会变。”This was in line with Xi's remarks at the 2018 symposium, during which he said the country would unswervingly encourage, support and guide the development of the nonpublic sector and support private enterprises to develop toward a broader stage.这与习近平在2018年座谈会上的讲话相呼应，当时他表示，国家将毫不动摇地鼓励、支持、引导非公有制经济发展，支持民营企业走向更加广阔的舞台。The stance was reaffirmed at the 2022 Central Economic Work Conference, which emphasized that promoting the private sector's growth is a "long-term strategy", rather than a short-term measure.2022年召开的中央经济工作会议再次明确这一立场，强调促进民营经济发展是“长期战略”，而非短期措施。In 2023, during the two sessions, the annual meetings of China's top legislative and political advisory bodies, Xi emphasized that the Party encouraged private enterprises and entrepreneurs to let go of their concerns and burdens and boldly pursue their development.2023年两会（中国最高立法机关和中国政治协商机构年度会议）期间，习近平强调，党鼓励民营企业和民营企业家消除顾虑，放下包袱，大胆发展。Xu, the renowned economist, said: "These instances show that China's reform policies are continuous and stable. A stable policy and a good business environment will further enhance private enterprises' confidence, consistently attract more foreign investment and promote sustained economic growth."著名经济学家许宏才表示：“这些事例表明，中国的改革政策是连续的、稳定的。稳定的政策和良好的营商环境将进一步提升民营企业的信心，将一以贯之吸引更多外商投资，促进经济的持续增长。”As of the end of September last year, China had over 55 million registered private companies, accounting for 92.3 percent of all businesses. They contribute more than half of the country's tax revenue, over 60 percent of GDP and over 80 percent of urban employment.截至2024年9月底，中国登记在册民营企业数量超过5500万户，占全国企业总量的92.3%。民营经济贡献了全国50%以上的税收、60%以上的国内生产总值、80%以上的城镇劳动就业。In recent years, the role of the private sector has become increasingly pivotal in driving technological innovations.

President Xi Jinping has reiterated China's commitment to boosting the private sector through concrete efforts to implement supportive policies and measures.Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks on Monday in Beijing at a symposium on private enterprises. The gathering of high-profile participants came years after the previous such symposium was presided over by Xi in 2018.Among the attendees were Huawei's Ren Zhengfei, BYD's Wang Chuanfu, New Hope's Liu Yonghao, Will Semiconductor's Yu Renrong, Unitree Robotics' Wang Xingxing and Xiaomi's Lei Jun. The six business leaders put forward their opinions and advice on the development of the private sector.Speaking to a roomful of senior officials and private entrepreneurs, Xi said the government's basic principles and policies concerning the development of the private economy have been incorporated into the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics and will consistently be upheld and fulfilled."They cannot and will not be changed," he said, noting that obstacles should be removed in order to facilitate private enterprises' equal access to factors of production and market opportunities in accordance with the law.Xi said that as the world's second-largest economy further reforms and opens up, the enormous market with a population of over 1.4 billion will bring new opportunities for the greater development of private enterprises."On the new journey in the new era, the prospects for the development of the private economy are broad and promising. It is a prime time for private enterprises and entrepreneurs to give full play to their capabilities," he said.As of the end of September last year, China had over 55 million registered private companies, accounting for 92.3 percent of all businesses. They contribute more than half of the country's tax revenue, over 60 percent of GDP and over 80 percent of urban employment.Regarding the difficulties and challenges currently facing the private sector's development, Xi said that these have generally emerged during the process of reform and development and industrial transformation."They are partial rather than general, temporary rather than long-term, and surmountable rather than unsolvable," Xi said, stressing the need to stay focused on growth, maintain confidence in development and face up to the challenges with optimism.Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC in 2012, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council have rolled out a series of policies and measures to spur the growth of the private sector.China is also moving closer to its first basic legislation specifically focused on the development of the private sector, as the draft law was submitted to the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress for deliberation in December.During the symposium, Xi also called for continuous efforts to see that the competitive areas of infrastructure are open to market entities in a fair manner, to resolve the difficulties private enterprises face in accessing affordable financing, and to resolve overdue payments to private enterprises.The government will earnestly protect the legitimate rights and interests of private businesses and entrepreneurs in accordance with the law, Xi said.But he noted that China is a socialist country ruled by law, and no type of illegal activities by enterprises, despite their form of ownership, can avoid investigation and punishment.Xi also stressed the role of private enterprises in advancing China's broader goals in terms of technological innovation, promoting rural vitalization and improving people's well-being. He urged entrepreneurs to focus on high-quality development, invest in their main businesses, strengthen their capacities for innovation, and increase their core competitiveness.It is hoped that the vast number of private enterprises and entrepreneurs will take the lead in promoting common prosperity, thus making new and greater contributions to advancing Chinese modernization, he said.reiterate /riˈɪtəˌreɪt/(v.)—— 重申commitment /kəˈmɪtmənt/(n.)—— 承诺，坚定支持boost /buːst/(v.)—— 促进，推动implement /ˈɪmplɪˌmɛnt/(v.)—— 贯彻，实施supportive /səˈpɔːrtɪv/(adj.)—— 支持的，鼓励的

China's latest push to bolster the growth of its private economy is expected to shore up business confidence, stabilize market expectations and revitalize the growth of the world's second-largest economy amid challenges and external uncertainties, said experts and company executives.They noted that the country has sent a clear signal that it is dedicated to boosting the high-quality development of the private economy through rolling out targeted measures to deal with the difficulties and issues faced by private enterprises.Their comments came as President Xi Jinping attended a symposium on Monday on private enterprises in Beijing and delivered an important speech, after listening to representatives of private entrepreneurs.Zhou Maohua, an analyst at China Everbright Bank, said: "The private sector is a vital force in advancing Chinese modernization, and it plays an increasingly significant role in stabilizing economic growth, expanding employment and bolstering technological innovation."Zhou said that a series of supportive measures, which have been introduced to tackle prominent problems facing private enterprises and to improve the business environment, are crucial for boosting confidence and stabilizing the expectations of private enterprises and entrepreneurs, and this will further consolidate the economic recovery trend.He noted that the country's ongoing efforts to promote the healthy development of the private sector will be conducive to creating a more stable, transparent and predictable business environment, motivating private enterprises to beef up investment in research and development, and achieving technological breakthroughs, as well as further stimulating the vitality of the private economy, he added.Liu Dian, a researcher at Fudan University's China Institute, said President Xi's meeting with private entrepreneurs sent a strong signal to the outside world that China attaches great significance to the private economy and is committed to bolstering its high-quality development.He said it is advisable for the government to guide financial institutions to innovate financial products and services, enhance support for boosting technological innovations by private enterprises, encourage private companies' collaboration with universities and research institutions, and accelerate the legislative process for a law to promote development of the private economy.Looking ahead, he said that the country will likely introduce more supportive measures, including further optimizing the business environment, promoting innovative development and fostering fair competition. Specifically, Liu said he expects to see further moves to improve the fiscal, tax and financial policy systems and address the practical difficulties and issues facing private companies.Key driving forcePrivate companies, a key driving force behind China's economic ascent over the past decades, contribute more than 60 percent of gross domestic product, 70 percent of technological innovation and 80 percent of urban employment, official data show.Entrepreneurs hailed the raft of policy measures on boosting support for the private sector, and expressed strong confidence in its future growth.Qi Xiangdong, chairman of cybersecurity company Qi-Anxin Technology Group, who attended the symposium, said in an earlier interview with China Daily that private enterprises have played a significant role in promoting scientific and technological innovation, and fostering the development of new quality productive forces.Qi said they should strive to explore new business models and management methods and bolster the application of technologies, and he emphasized that his company will step up original and pioneering sci-tech innovation, and reinforce fundamental research in artificial intelligence to promote industrial upgrading.Lei Jun, founder, chairman and CEO of China's homegrown tech giant Xiaomi Corp, told China Daily in an earlier interview that the country's moves, such as supporting technological innovation in the private sector and accelerating digital transformation, have boosted the company's confidence and expectations, and it will continue to develop its main business and contribute to the development of the real economy.Wang Peng, an associate research fellow at the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, said that the private economy is playing a pivotal role in supporting China's overall economic development.Looking forward, Wang said a multipronged approach is needed to address issues faced by private companies, such as expanding financing channels for private enterprises and reducing financing costs, as well as intensifying efforts to further cut taxes and fees in order to lower operational costs.bolster /ˈboʊlstər/ (v.) 支持，增强revitalize /riˈvaɪtəlaɪz/ (v.) 振兴，使恢复生机pivotal /ˈpɪvətl/ (adj.) 关键的，核心的predictable /prɪˈdɪktəbl/ (adj.) 可预测的，可预见的consolidate /kənˈsɑːlɪdeɪt/ (v.) 巩固，加强legislative /ˈledʒɪsleɪtɪv/ (adj.) 立法的，法律制定的

We will inform you about the latest launch schedule as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding and support,"" said Xiaomi's statement, quoted by KompasTekno from the Weibo microblogging platform via gsmarena, Saturday (3/12/2022).

VOLVO'S RANGE ASSISTANT WILL TEACH YOU TO EKE OUT EV MILES "Volvo is trialling a beta version of its new Range Assistant app, designed to help drivers of its XC40 Recharge and forthcoming C40 Recharge squeeze out as many miles from a charge as possible. The app is coming to the electric SUV by way of an over-the-air update before the end of October, while its crossover sibling will have it pre-installed when production officially gets underway." according to topgear.com: "The Range Assistant promises drivers ‘a clear and accurate' range estimate based on real-time energy consumption, automatically adjusting the climate control to conserve juice when it's needed most. It also provides a breakdown on how energy is being used inside the car, and suggests ways drivers can adapt their driving style to be as efficient as possible.

Both companies last year set an ambitious target of 100 percent EVs by decade's end. Now they say the unprecedented EV tax credits, rebates and charging infrastructure funding that's included in the contentious $3.5 trillion reconciliation package could help flip their fleets." says eeNews.net: " As it stands, the measure includes an expansive clean energy tax bill that would increase EV credits. If passed, it could cut the price of some battery-powered cars by as much as a third — boosting EV competitiveness and, in some cases, making them cheaper than combustion-engine automobiles.  The high price of EVs and a dearth of charging options in urban areas are considered by both Uber and Lyft two of the primary obstacles." https://www.eenews.net/articles/uber-lyft-lobby-for-ev-reconciliation-provisions/ NEW QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM When buying a used electric car, how do you feel about servicing?

On parle régulièrement de la Chine dans ce podcast, notamment pour ses nombreuses sanctions contre les géants de la Tech. Il semblerait toutefois que le gouvernement ait changé son fusil d'épaule en intégrant pleinement les plus grosses entreprises locales dans son nouveau programme je cite de « prospérité commune », visant à réduire les inégalités à coup de milliards d'investissement.C'est donc le 17 août dernier que l'expression « prospérité commune » a été remise au goût du jour par le président chinois Xi Jinping. D'après le journal Le Monde, cette politique est basée sur les travaux de l'économiste, Li Yining qui en 1994 décrivait la philanthropie comme l'un des trois leviers de la redistribution. Une option qui a visiblement séduit le président chinois, expliquant je cite que « nous pouvons permettre à des gens de s'enrichir, puis les guider, afin qu'ils aident les autres à devenir riches ». L'empire du Milieu souffre en effet d'un problème de redistribution des revenus, étant donné que seul 1 % des Chinois détiennent plus de 30 % de la richesse nationale.Pour mener ce programme à bien, il faut de l'argent. Et l'argent, c'est auprès des géants de la Tech que le gouvernement l'a trouvé ! Ces derniers ce sont d'ailleurs montré étonnamment coopératifs ; Tencent et Alibaba promettant d'investir 13 milliards d'euros sur cinq ans, tout comme Zhang Yiming fondateur de ByteDance ou Lei Jun créateur Xiaomi qui ont également annoncé des dons issus de leur fortune personnelle. Pas de rancune visiblement contre leur gouvernement qui ces derniers mois n'a eu de cesse de les maltraiter sur la question des données personnelles des utilisateurs.Pour Alibaba et Tencent, cet effort de solidarité avec les plus démunis du pays est tout à fait normal. Le président d'Alibaba précise même que son entreprise est je cite « un bénéficiaire du fort progrès social et économique de la Chine au cours des 22 dernières années. Nous croyons fermement que si la société se porte bien et que l'économie se porte bien, alors Alibaba se portera bien ».Si tout semble aller pour le mieux dans le meilleur des mondes en Chine, difficile de ne pas y voir un beau coup de communication pour ces entreprises, ainsi qu'une instrumentalisation de la misère de la part du gouvernement. Car en quarante ans, le pays est devenu presque aussi inégalitaire que les Etats-Unis. Je vous le disais, aujourd'hui 1 % des Chinois les plus riches détiennent plus de 30 % de la richesse nationale, et la tendance ne devrait pas s'inverser puisque selon les prévisions de certains observateurs, le nombre de millionnaires devrait pratiquement doubler dans les cinq prochaines années. Difficile d'y voir une réduction des inégalités quand d'après le premier ministre lui-même, un tiers des chinois, soit plus de 600 millions de personnes vivent avec moins de 130 euros par mois, sans parler de la répression envers les ouighours. Si l'ascenseur social a fonctionné pour une minorité de Chinois, on peut constater que nombreux sont ceux qui n'ont pas eu la chance de monter à bord. L'ancien président Chinois Deng Xiaoping l'assumait en 1985, je cite, « il faut laisser certaines personnes s'enrichir d'abord pour que les autres puissent s'enrichir ensuite ».

According to European product boss Sjoerd Knipping, the Korean brand's second “EVx” car will be a large SUV targeting the US. But more importantly for us, it will be followed by a model developed for the European market – Knipping spoke of “balancing” the US and other territories. - e large SUV could be branded EV7 or EV8, and it will offer seven-seat capability similar to that of Hyundai's Ioniq 7 SUV confirmed for launch in 2024. It will be followed by a crossover potentially called EV4, sized as a rival for the Volvo C40 and Mercedes EQA.

When the winners are announced at next year's New York International Auto Show, there will be a new category just for battery-electric vehicles. - BEVs will be eligible to win the overall 2022 World Car of the Year award; the rules just require that a car be produced in volumes of at least 10,000 a year. The vehicle must also "be priced below the luxury-car level in their primary markets" and must be available in two major markets (China, Europe, India, Japan, Korea, Latin America, and the USA) in at least two continents, between January 1, 2021, and March 30, 2022. - Several BEVs are in contention for the top award, including the Audi Q4 e-tron and Q4 e-tron Sportback, BMW i4, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Kia EV6. - Jaguar's I-Pace won overall in 2019, and the Volkswagen ID.4 won overall in 2021; if the Porsche Taycan Turbo had been eligible in 2020, it would probably also have romped home to victory but for the fact that it was too expensive to qualify.

Well, there's some good news for those that are interested in modifying your classic: EV crate conversions. While this technology is still in its relative infancy, it does seem to be gaining some traction. Ford is teasing an electric crate powertrain solution that is slated for a debut at the upcoming SEMA show. - Chevrolet introduced a similar system back in 2018. That system has since evolved into the eCrate system, which Chevrolet said would be hitting the market sometime this year.

Ford Performance, though, is getting in on the action. Rather than having to source the electrification system independently, you'll be able to buy an Eluminator motor off the shelf. - Full details will be shared at SEMA 2021, the annual car mods show. What we do know, however, is that the Eluminator is targeted at restomods and project cars, and that it will be impressively compact. Only 570 mm – or shorter than 23 inches – in length, in fact.

As Jack Ma and other company leaders lay low, Lei Jun is becoming the most beloved tech figure in China.Read the article by Zeyi Yang: https://www.protocol.com/china/xiaomi-viral-speechNarrated by Kaiser Kuo. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Lei Jun, co-founder of Xiaomi Corp., donated $2.2 billion in Xiaomi stock to charity, joining other Chinese technology executives in philanthropy amid increased scrutiny on the industry. This follows the announcement that Xiaomi Corp. has surpassed Apple as the world's second largest smartphone manufacturer in the last quarter, thanks to an 83 percent increase in shipments, according to preliminary Canalys estimates. Sumsang is still the largest with 19% share, Xiaomi had 17% and Apple had 14%.

Tue. 6/8. Lei Jun: This is the last major business venture in my life!

Xiaomi Corp, a Chinese and the third largest smartphone manufacturer worldwide, reported a 55 percent increase in first-quarter revenue on Wednesday. Xiaomi has taken market share from former Chinese industry leader Huawei Technologies Co Ltd. Revenue increased to 76.88 billion yuan ($12 billion) in the fiscal quarter ended March 31, up from 49.70 billion yuan the previous year. CFO Alain Lam stated that the company's chip inventories remained "healthy," and that he did not expect a significant impact on business this year. Xiaomi also announced that it would formally begin manufacturing electric vehicles through a new division led by founder Lei Jun.

Wed. 7/4 Xiaomi founder Lei Jun says his company's first electric car will be an SUV or a sedan, priced between US$15,000 to US$45,000

Patrocinador: La nueva temporada del podcast de Banco Sabadell sigue manteniendo un gran nivel con entrevistas increíbles en los que aprenderéis un montón, con nuevos episodios cada semana. — Web, iVoox, Apple, Spotify. Espero que no me hayáis echado mucho de menos esta semana. La verdad es que han pasado un montón de cosas. Vamos a resumirlas y ponernos al día.  Xiaomi hace un megaevento de presentación. Los pekineses aparcaron el furgón en una presentación de casi cinco horas separados en dos días: Mi Band 6, varios móviles, nuevo proyector láser, un cargador rollo AirPower, y mucho más, incluyendo su primer plegable real: Mi Mix Fold.  Xiaomi también confirmó que venderán coches eléctricos. Crearán una nueva filial independiente y dirigida por el propio Lei Jun, fundador de Xiaomi, y que donde planean invertir 10.000 millones de dólares. Muy pronto para saber precio, modelos, quién los fabricará, posibilidad de Android Automotive, etc.  La Starship vuelve a explotar en pleno vuelo. El prototipo número 11 del nuevo modelo de astronave de SpaceX explotó a los cinco minutos de vuelo suborbital, dejando un rastro de escombros sobre su base de lanzamiento y las inmediaciones. No parece haber heridos.  Unos días antes, los restos de un Falcon 9 reentraron en la atmósfera días tras su lanzamiento, cayendo descontroladamente sobre el noroeste de Norteamérica en vez de en el Pacífico... dejando vídeos bastante espectaculares, y también sin heridos.  Algunos congresistas estadounidenses están preocupados o enfadados porque se permitan este tipo de pruebas sin mayores controles. Veremos si se aplican cambios, porque ya van tres explosiones.  Ingenuity se separa de su rover en Marte. El pequeño helicóptero se posó sobre el suelo marciano, y el Perseverance se ha alejado unos metros. Seguimos sin fecha concreta del primer vuelo controlado en otro planeta, pero debería ser en abril.  La WWDC de 2021 seguirá siendo virtual: el 7 de junio. La conferencia de desarrolladores de Apple nos mostrará los avances de la compañía en varios frentes: iOS 15, macOS 12 (¿o 11.1?), avances en Apple Silicon. Estaremos atentos a posibles anuncios de hardware también.  Engordan las dos principales suscripciones de software para móviles. En Android, Google Play Pass aumenta hasta los 800 títulos de aplicaciones y juegos que están disponibles para sus abonados, y Apple sube a 180 los juegos que están disponibles en Apple Arcade con un montón de clásicos y alguna novedad exclusiva como Fantasian.  Dimite por sorpresa el CEO de Waymo. La filial de conducción autónoma de Alphabet pierde a John Krafcik tras casi seis años al frente de la empresa. Los motivos se desconocen de momento. Quedan al frente como Co-CEOs Dmitri Dolgov y Tekedra Mawakana, previos directores tecnológico y de operaciones. Dos cracks muy bien considerados en la industria.  Waymo no ha seguido el ambicioso plan marcado hace 3-4 años con decenas de miles de coches autónomos, manteniendo apenas dos o tres islas urbanas de operaciones con unos 600-700 coches. Desde hace 7-10 años, estamos siempre "a dos años"...  Otro sistema de conducción autónoma "en dos años". Motional, la unión entre Hyundai y Aptiv anuncia que ofrecerán un servicio de taxis en múltiples ciudades de EE.UU. en 2023, expandiendo el programa que tienen en Las Vegas que ya ha realizado más de 100.000 carreras.  Apple te pedirá que elijas la voz de Siri en tu iPhone. A partir del próximo iOS 14.5 durante la puesta en marcha de un iPhone o iPad, Apple te pedirá si eliges una voz más femenina o masculina para Siri, en vez de elegir la femenina por defecto.  En Reino Unido la voz por defecto de Siri desde hace tiempo es la masculina, curiosamente.  Los humanos tenemos diferente percepción entre voces femeninas y masculinas incluso para las virtuales, pero curiosamente, consideramos las voces femeninas como más "humanas" y "realistas" que las masculinas.  Dedos mecánicos con reconocimiento de voz escribiendo en una máquina de escribir. Un invento algo ciberpunquiano que usa el reconocimiento de voz de Windows y que envía el texto a una pequeña Arduino que maneja la mecánica de los dedos para escribir, incluyendo el salto de línea.  Microsoft ha desactivado Cortana en iPhone y Android. Las aplicaciones dejaron de funcionar el 31 de marzo tal y como anunciaron hace meses. Si alguno las tenía instaladas, ya no harán mucho.  Microsoft añade su navegador Edge a algunas Xbox. Dentro del programa de pruebas, algunos usuarios pueden probar la versión completa del navegador, que añade una potencia extra a las nuevas consolas de Microsoft, que pueden ejecutar juegos y aplicaciones online, como Stadia, Discord, Slack, etc. Más PCs que nunca.

It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   KIA EV6 BOASTS 577 HP, 20 MINUTE CHARGING "The EV6 isn't Kia's first electric car, but it is the first to be built on the Hyundai Group's Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), alongside the new Ioniq 5. The EV6 will be offered with either rear- or all-wheel drive and with the choice of two battery capacities." asys Roadshow: "At the top of the lineup is the performance-oriented EV6 GT, which comes standard with the larger 77.4-kilowatt-hour Long Range battery and dual-motor electric all-wheel drive. Combined thrust is estimated at 577 horsepower and 546 pound-feet of torque. Mat the accelerator and the EV6 GT will sprint to 62 mph in just 3.5 seconds and onward to a top speed of 162 mph. Exclusive to the EV6 GT is an electronic limited-slip differential that improves traction and handling. Keep the battery above a 35% state of charge and the EV6 should also be able to tow up to 3,527 pounds. The entry-level EV6 and GT-Line come standard with a 58-kWh Standard Range battery, stepping two-wheel-drive power down to 168 hp and AWD to 232 hp. Kia estimates that, at best, a single-motor EV6 with the Long Range battery should cruise for up to 317 miles per charge "   "Kia claims that all models, regardless of which battery is optioned, will be capable of charging from 10 to 80 per cent in just 18 minutes when using the 800V ultra-fast charger. And, if the EV6 is specified with the 77.4 kWh battery pack and 2WD, owners will be able to add 100 kilometres of range to the EV in less than four and a half minutes, which Kia says is around the same amount of time it takes to refuel a conventional ICE-powered vehicle." according to WhichCar: "The charging system of the EV6 is also said to move the game on, utilising an Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) that is capable of discharging the car batteries’ power to external devices through a vehicle-to-load (V2L) function.  This V2L function can supply up to 3.6 kW to devices such as a TV or air-conditioning unit, effectively acting as a generator. Kia claims that thanks to the EV6’s long wheelbase, which measures 2,900mm, and the flat-floor design that the EV’s architecture allows for, the result is an interior size similar to a medium to large size SUV. Dual 12-inch curved digital displays blend into one seamless strip across the car’s interior fascia, with one taking the place of a conventional dashboard and the other acting as a touchscreen interface for the infotainment system. "   I didn't see it reported online but when I went to reserve one, the GT version is October 2022!

Xiaomi will inject an additional $10bn in the next 10 years into its EV business. Other details of the potential plant were undisclosed."   https://www.argusmedia.com/en/news/2200752-chinese-tech-firm-xiaomi-to-develop-electric-vehicles?backToResults=true   AUTO INDUSTRY URGES BIDEN TO BACK ‘COMPREHENSIVE’ EV PLAN The requests, made in a six-page letter dated March 29, come as Biden is set to unveil on Wednesday a $3 trillion or more infrastructure proposal that could include significant support for manufacturing and charging electric vehicles (EVs). The letter from the UAW and two major auto industry trade groups noted there are currently only 1.5 million EVs out of 278 million registered passenger U.S. vehicles.   https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/30/auto-industry-urges-biden-to-back-comprehensive-ev-plan-.html   RIVIAN’S AMAZING NEW WARRANTY Amazon-backed electric SUV maker Rivian is quietly making a name for itself as one of the most exciting newcomers to the electric vehicle market. Not only are its cars looking great, it’s also offering after-sales service that sets a new standard for the industry." reports The NExt Web: "Over the past week, sleuths over on Rivian forums spotted updates to the EV startup’s vehicle warranties, and it has well and truly thrown down the gauntlet to all other manufacturers with its five-year, 60,000-mile comprehensive warranty. According to the company’s website, the comprehensive warranty covers, “The cost of all parts and labor necessary for any defective materials are covered for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first.”"   https://thenextweb.com/shift/2021/03/30/rivians-amazing-new-warranty-should-be-the-standard-for-all-ev-brands/   THE LF-Z CONCEPT SHOWS JUST HOW FAR LEXUS HAS TO GO IN EVS "Toyota is finally following the rest of its peers into making all-electric vehicles, and that now includes its luxury brand, Lexus. On Tuesday, the Japanese marque revealed the LF-Z Electrified concept car, which is all about charting the company’s course into an electric future." says The Verge: "The company said Tuesday it will introduce 20 new vehicles by 2025 and that just 10 of those will be all-electric, hybrid, or run on hydrogen.  The company has played a very conservative hand here at the beginning of what is, by its own admission, a massive transformation in the industry. And while there are certain advantages to that strategy — like not spending dozens of billions of dollars — the LZ-F is a good reminder of some of the disadvantages, too."   https://www.theverge.com/2021/3/30/22357789/lexus-lf-z-electrified-concept-car-ev-toyota-electric   TESLA AND TOYOTA TO REVISIT OLD PARTNERSHIP "A recent report from an esteemed South Korean publication has suggested that Tesla and Toyota are poised to revisit an old partnership to develop an all-new electric vehicle. The partnership has reportedly been under review since last year." according to Teslarati: " the upcoming partnership between Tesla and Toyota would likely result in the development of a small electric SUV. Toyota is reportedly providing the vehicle platform in the partnership, while Tesla will supply some of the EV’s electronic control platform and software."   https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-toyota-ev-partnership-report/   MERCEDES-BENZ EQS ACHIEVES 4 MI/KWH WITH 0.20 DRAG COEFFICIENT "That’s comparable to the 4.5 mi/kWh Lucid promises the Air will achieve. Tesla and EPA state the Model S Long Range can achieve 402 miles with its 100 kWh battery pack. That translates into a 4.02 mi/kWh energy efficiency if you run your car past the 0 percent warning and until it stops, according to Tesla engineers." says InsideEVs: "The EQS beats that: with more than 435 miles of range – probably according to WLTP standards – for its 108 kWh battery pack, it reaches 4.03 mi/kWh. It’s close to what Tesla offers, but it means more than just that in Mercedes-Benz's case."   https://insideevs.com/news/497543/mercedes-benz-eqs-4-mi-kwh/   FORMULA E UNVEILS ELECTRIC MINI SAFETY CAR FOR SELECT RACES "Formula E will use a modified all-electric Mini as its safety car this season ahead of its parent company BMW quitting the series.This move for the remainder of the 2021 season comes as Mini owner BMW will exit Formula E at the end of the campaign having “essentially exhausted the opportunities" to develop its technologies within the championship." says Motor1: "The Mini Electric Pacesetter has received styling tweaks, including a rear wing and flared wheel arches, that resemble the third iteration of the internal combustion-engined Mini Cooper JCW GP road car.  It is 130kg lighter than the regular Mini Electric but runs the same 182bhp output to accelerate to 62mph in 6.7 seconds, six tenths quicker than the standard car.  "   https://uk.motor1.com/news/497663/mini-safety-car-2021-bmw/   QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM What incentive would make the most difference to you buying an EV?   It would mean a lot if you could take 2mins to leave a quick review on whichever platform you download the podcast.   And  if you have an Amazon Echo, download our Alexa Skill, search for EV News Daily and add it as a flash briefing.   Come and say hi on Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter just search EV News Daily, have a wonderful day, I’ll catch you tomorrow and remember…there’s no such thing as a self-charging hybrid.     PHIL ROBERTS / ELECTRIC FUTURE (PREMIUM PARTNER) BRAD CROSBY (PREMIUM PARTNER) PORSCHE OF THE VILLAGE CINCINNATI (PREMIUM PARTNER) AUDI CINCINNATI EAST (PREMIUM PARTNER) VOLVO CARS CINCINNATI EAST (PREMIUM PARTNER) NATIONALCARCHARGING.COM and ALOHACHARGE.COM  (PREMIUM PARTNER) DEREK REILLY FROM THE EV REVIEW IRELAND YOUTUBE CHANNEL (PREMIUM PARTNER) RICHARD AT RSEV.CO.UK – FOR BUYING AND SELLING EVS IN THE UK (PREMIUM PARTNER) eMOBILITY NORWAY HTTPS://WWW.EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM/  (PREMIUM PARTNER)     DAVID AND LISA ALLEN (PARTNER) GARETH HAMER (PARTNER) BOB BOOTHBY FROM MILLBROOK COTTAGES – 5* GOLD SELF CATERING COTTAGES (PARTNER) DARIN MCLESKEY FROM DENOVO REAL ESTATE (PARTNER) JUKKA KUKONEN FROM WWW.SHIFT2ELECTRIC.COM RAJEEV NARAYAN (PARTNER) IAIN SEAR (PARTNER)   ADRIAN BOND (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALAN SHEDD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALEX BANAHENE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALEXANDER FRANK @ https://www.youtube.com/c/alexsuniverse42 ANDERS HOVE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ANDREA JEFFERSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ANDREW GREEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ANDY NANCARROW AND LILIAN KASS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ASEER KHALID (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BÅRD FJUKSTAD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BLUNDERBUSS JONES (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER BRIAN THOMPSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BRUCE BOHANNAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHARLES HALL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHRIS HOPKINS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHRISTOPHER BARTH (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) COLIN HENNESSY AND CAMBSEV (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CRAIG ROGERS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAMIEN DAVIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID FINCH (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID MOORE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID PARTINGTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID PRESCOTT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DC EV (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DON MCALLISTER / SCREENCASTSONLINE.COM (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ED CORTREEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ERIC HANSEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ERU KYEYUNE-NYOMBI (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) FREDRIK ROVIK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GENE RUBIN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) HEDLEY WRIGHT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) HEINRICH LIESNER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN GRIFFITHS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN (WATTIE) WATKINS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JACK OAKLEY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JAMES STORR (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JAVIER CARMELO DÍAZ PÉREZ (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JIM MORRIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JOHN SCHROEDER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JON AKA BEARDY MCBEARDFACE FROM KENT EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JON MANCHAK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JUAN GONZALEZ (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KEVIN MEYERSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LAURENCE D ALLEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LEE BROWN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LUKE CULLEY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARCEL WARD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARTY YOUNG  (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MIA OPPELSTRUP (PARTNER) MIKE WINTER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NATHAN GORE-BROWN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NATHANIEL FREEDMAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NEIL E ROBERTS FROM SUSSEX EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) OHAD ASTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PAUL STEPHENSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETE GLASS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETE GORTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETER & DEE ROBERTS FROM OXON EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PHIL MOUCHET (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PHILIP TRAUTMAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RAYMOND ROWLEDGE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RENE KEEMIK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RENÉ SCHNEIDER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROB FROM THE RSTHINKS EV CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROBERT GRACE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RUPERT MITCHELL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) SEIKI PAYNE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) STEPHEN PENN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) STEVE JOHN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) THOMAS J.

Una nueva sesión de METADATA ha llegado. El podcast de tecnología de RPP y NIUSGEEK toca un tema que no deberíamos descuidar en cuarentena: el Big Data. ¿Qué puede aprender un algoritmo sobre nuestros hábitos en casa? Mucho. Hablamos con Raul Goycoolea de Xertica, y nos dio un poco de miedo escucharlo. Hablamos de los diez años de Xiaomi y las mejores historias de Lei Jun, CEO y fundador de la firma. Todo esto y más en esta nueva edición de METADATA.

Pocos quieren un móvil sin cargador: menos del 6% de los primeros pedidos del Xiaomi Mi 11 han sido de la versión "ecológica" La ingeniosa solución de Xiaomi para sortear la polémica del cargador fue ofrecer una versión del Mi 11 con el cargador incluido, al mismo precio. El argumento principal es la protección del medioambiente. La decisión estaba en manos de los usuarios: o bien apostar por la versión verde o bien por la versión con cargador. Y los números de los primeros pedidos lo dejan bastante claro: la gran mayoría ha optado por la versión que sí viene con cargador, como ha sido habitual hasta la fecha. Según ha publicado Lei Jun, fundador y CEO de Xiaomi, la versión Eco del Xiaomi Mi 11 ha vendido unas 20.000 unidades del total de 350.000 unidades del Mi 11, mostrando que solo una pequeña porción de los usuarios han apostado por la versión sin cargador. Qualcomm Snapdragon 480: el procesador de gama de entrada que quiere cumplir la promesa de 5G para todos los precios El Snapdragon 480 es el primer chipset de la serie 400 con 5G. La conectividad 5G no es la única novedad de este Snapdragon 480. Se añade compatibilidad para antenas WiFi duales y Bluetooth 5.1, con funciones extra como: las tecnologías aptX Adaptative, TrueWireless y soporte para frecuencia dual GNSS, que promete una mejor precisión en la ubicación. Se trata de tecnologías que hemos visto en chipsets de la gama media, pero que a partir de este año también estarán incluidos en la familia más básica de la compañía. El Snapdragon 480 promete el doble de rendimiento en CPU que el actual Snapdragon 460. Ahora Tenemos una configuración de ocho núcleos, opuesto a cuatro.

O PQS desta semana, edição 0042, que teve transmissão ao vivo pelo Instagram, apresenta os seguintes destaques: No auge da curva da Covid-19, Ministério da Saúde tem segunda demissão desde a pandemia. "A vida é feita de escolhas. E eu hoje escolhi sair", afirmou o agora ex-ministro Nelson Teich Onde passa um boi passa uma boiada. Junho pode ser sem isolamento. Pelo menos é o que quer o presidente e seus apoiadores Em meio a uma investigação de suposta interferência política na Polícia Federal, o presidente Jair Bolsonaro decidiu forçar a saída de Nelson Teich do Ministério da Saúde para tentar acabar com o isolamento social em junho. Ataque a jornalistas vira caso de polícia em Belo Horizonte Infelizmente está ficando na moda a agressão contra a classe jornalística. Só pra ficar nos últimos dias: teve repórter agredido em manifestação pró ditadura em Brasília, teve presidente da república agredindo verbalmente e moralmente os jornalistas e nessa semana a capital dos mineiros teve um registro lamentável. Na avenida Alfredo Balena, ao lado do hospital das Clínicas da UFMG, foram encontradas pichações com frases de ódio e agressão: “jornalista bom é jornalista morto” e “colabore com a limpeza do Brasil, mate um jornalista". Vale a pena ver de novo? Todo dia um 7x1 diferente. Em época de poucas produções, devido a quarentena, TVs esportivas e outras abertas, como a Band e a Globo, estão reprisando jogos memoráveis. E O PQS discute: você gostaria de ver o 7 x 1 novamente ? Batalha entre o popular Xiaomi e a consolidada Apple ganha ingrediente especial essa semana Fãs da marca chinesa não gostaram muito de descobrir que o CEO da Xiaomi, Lei Jun, está usando um iPhone. Isso mesmo! É que o executivo fez uma postagem na rede social Weibo, rede de muito sucesso na china, e acabou sendo "dedurado" pela própria plataforma. O programa tem apresentação de Fabiano Frade e Ailton do Vale. E conta ainda com os comentários do mundo esportivo com Hemerson Morais, colunista de sempre do podcast.

Lei Jun, máximo dirigente de Xiaomi, la ha liado por culpa de Weibo. Lo analizamos.

Hace unos días tuvimos la oportunidad de entrevistar a Lei Jun. Puede que no te suene este nombre, pero es el CEO de una de las empresas tecnológicas más potentes del mundo. Jun está al frente de Xiaomi, una compañía a la que conocemos por ajustar al máximo la relación calidad precio en su gama de smartphones. El mercado de la telefonía está evolucionando a pasos agigantados, y muchos nos preguntamos si esta compañía podrá seguir manteniendo esta política de precios o veremos un acercamiento a lo que conocemos como "gama alta" en un futuro próximo. Para ayudarnos a entender la cantidad de ramificaciones que tiene esta empresa y cuál es su momento actual nos acompañan dos editores de Xataka, Antonio Ortiz y Javier Lacort.

Welcome to the 84th installment of the Caixin-Sinica Business Brief, a weekly podcast that brings you the most important business stories of the week from China's top source for business and financial news. Produced by Kaiser Kuo of our Sinica Podcast, it features a business news roundup, plus conversations with Caixin reporters and editors. This week: We discuss new data that shows China's economic growth stabilized in the first quarter of 2019, as market confidence recovered on the back of policy support and progress in Sino-U.S. trade war negotiations. We analyze a recent report that says China's stimulus measures may increase corporate debt and reverse progress made in deleveraging the economy. We hear that despite a stimulus cooling, China is still considering new subsidies to encourage household purchases of home appliances as part of a policy package designed to expand domestic consumption. We report that China's pension system is expected to run dry well before that generation retires in 2035. We note that more details have emerged in the new civil lawsuit brought against Chinese billionaire Richard Liu by the woman who accused him of rape last year. We learn that Lei Jun 雷军, the CEO of phone and home-electronics maker Xiaomi, may have received compensation worth over 330 times of that handed to Tencent's head last year.

Alvin's career to date has been an epic adventure, a journey that's taken him across epicenters of technology and the world's three largest internet markets: China, India, and the US. As a Stanford undergrad, he started ThinkBulbs, which developed 2 leading iOS photo apps and amassed over a million users before being acquired by Megatasty Labs. After college, Alvin spent time as EIR at StartX, before joining Flipboard to lead their China entry efforts. That in turn opened his eyes to the torrid growth of China's tech sector, eventually leading to a role as Chief of Staff for Hugo Barra, the legendary Google exec who had been hired by Lei Jun to run Xiaomi Global. Today, Alvin heads up Xiaomi Global's sales operations, and plays a critical role in developing Xiaomi's India business. On our podcast, Alvin talks us through his personal journey, reflecting first on his foundational experiences in Silicon Valley before taking on the Wild Wild West of China's tech sector in the early 2010s. With Alvin, we then conduct a deeper dive on Xiaomi's India strategy. How did Xiaomi grow so quickly in India, reaching #2 market share, with its best selling 'Redmi' shipping over 1m units in just 30 days? What are similarities and differences between China and India? How does Xiaomi approach localization, not only in terms of product but also on its org structure and management approach. Ultimately, what are the keys to success in this market and how will Xiaomi fend off competitors that invariably follow it into an attractive new market? Lastly, Alvin shares his experience on why it's the right time to come out to China (and India), the need for a bridge type leaders between markets, and how to leverage a global perspective to one's advantage.

To say that Meng Xing, V.P. and entrepreneur-in-residence at Chinese venture firm Shunwei Capital, has been busy would be a gross understatement. Over the past ten years, the 31-year-old venture capitalist and entrepreneur has founded two artificial intelligence (AI) start-ups, selling one, an image recognition AI company, to Amazon and the other to a listed Chinese company. In between, he worked as an investment banker at J.P. Morgan Hong Kong and casino giant Caesars Entertainment, on top of getting an MBA from the Sloan School of Management at MIT. In March 2016, Meng joined Shunwei, a US$2 billion venture firm co-established by Chinese billionaire entrepreneur and Xiaomi Inc's founder Lei Jun. He has so far screened over 200 Chinese AI start-ups and led efforts to invest in nine AI companies during the past year. While Meng's first success was in image recognition, he believes that a stand-alone image recognition type of business popping up in China will face increasing challenges going forward. In order to survive and thrive, Chinese AI companies must focus on a niche vertical industry and create niche products, he says. Rather than simply creating AI technology, they want a company that is applying artificial intelligence for a specific purpose. The industries most likely to create the next great tech companies are financial technology, healthcare, surveillance, agriculture and autonomous driving, in his view. Meng spoke to China Money Network's Nina Xiang on the sidelines of the Montgomery Summit on March 9 in Santa Monica, California. You can listen to our conversation above or read a Q&A below.

You can also subscribe to China Money Podcast's Youtube channel or Youku channel. Q: Can you give a brief introduction of Shunwei Capital? A: Shunwei was founded in 2011 by Lei Jun and Tuck Lye Koh, together we manage around US$2 billion in assets across three U.S. dollar funds and two RMB funds. Since 2011, we have invested in 200 companies across a lot of sectors including Internet of things devices, financial technology, agriculture, new real estates, and coming-of-age technologies. I personally focus on technology-driven companies, more specifically, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, visual reality and 3D structure, for early-stage funding rounds like series A and series B. Q: You had an interesting career before joining Shunwei. Tell us more about that? A: I started my career as an investment banker at J.P. Morgan Hong Kong in 2007 covering the telecom, media and technology (TMT) sector. Then I started a few companies, but the one that really took off was Orbeus in 2012 when I was getting my MBA at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It was a company based in Boston and we were doing image recognition and object recognition. It was later sold to Amazon in 2015. Then, I joined Caesars Entertainment, an international casino company, and was responsible for their Asian online gaming sector for two years. After Caesars, I founded Cogtu, a start-up that leverages image recognition to build a native advertising network. The company was sold to a listed Chinese Internet company as well. And I joined Shunwei last year. Q: At Shunwei, you invest in AI start-ups. How many companies have you reviewed and what's your overview of these start-ups? A: Probably over 200 companies so far in the broadly defined artificial intelligence field, and we invested in about nine companies last year. When we are screening companies, first we want to know who are the founders. The good ones, or the ones that venture capitalists are chasing, are companies founded by research scientists from top research universities or research department from Google, Facebook and so forth. The problem is that those researchers have a lot of experience publishing ac...

In addition, it suggests that the major form factor redesign that’s been reported on may turn out to be less drastic than some are imagining — although changes will include features like a rear-mounted Touch ID sensor. According to the report, which is accompanied by renders showing the design, the iPhone Edition won’t feature a Touch ID sensor embedded beneath the display, but rather a fingerprint scanner on the rear of the device. It also won’t come with the glass back plate, but will instead stick to having a metal back plate as the result of glass’ tendency to shatter when dropped   Does Apple trademark filing mean PowerBook is coming back? http://www.cultofmac.com/473989/apple-trademark-filing-mean-powerbook-coming-back/ A couple of news outlets are flipping their lid over the news that Apple has filed a new worldwide trademark for the word “PowerBook,” the name of Apple’s pre-MacBook laptop series, which ran from 1991 until 2006. In fact, a lot of Apple’s trademarks are about stopping its assets falling into other company’s hands — as happened when rival watchmaker Swatch decided to trademark Steve Jobs’ iconic “One more thing” catchphrase, shortly after Apple began competing with it in the watch business.   Swiss watchmaker hits back at Apple by trademarking ‘One more thing’ http://www.cultofmac.com/385873/swiss-watchmaker-hits-back-at-apple-by-trademarking-one-more-thing/ This isn’t the first time Apple has had people try to pilfer its well-known “One more thing” phrase. At the launch of Apple ripoff artist Xiaomi’ Mi 4 smartphone, CEO Lei Jun “borrowed” Apple’s tagline while also wearing a black top and blue jeans. The trademark was registered in Germany in May, but was granted in 2015. It was originally a quotation by Jobs of Peter Falk’s Columbo character “Stay hungry, stay foolish” - Whole Earth Catalog, a magazine Steve Jobs loved.   20th Anniversary Mac https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twentieth_Anniversary_Macintosh one of the first Macs to be designed by Jony Ive, and it paved the way for the vertical design of computer that forms today's iMacIt looked like a movie prop.  The beautiful machine every 90s CEO would covet. April 1, 1996 marked 20 years since the day that Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne came together to form Apple Computer, and they decided to release the 20th Anniversary Mac to celebrate this momentous occasion. It featured a a TV/FM tuner, an S-Video input card, and a custom-made Bose sound system including two "Jewel” speakers, and a subwoofer built into the externally located power supply "base unit”. Upon unveiling, the TAM was predicted to cost US$9,000, which would include a direct-to-door concierge delivery service. At release the price was reduced to $7,499.  Problem was, it similar performance as the PowerMac 6500, a machine costing just $2,999. In the middle of its sales' lifespan Apple dropped the price further to around US$3,500, and finally upon discontinuation in March 1998 the price was set to US$1,995. Customers who paid full price for the TAM, and then complained to Apple when the price was so drastically cut, were offered a free high-end Powerbook as compensation.     TimeBand It's hard to imagine, but there was actually a time when the Apple freely shared its concepts with the world. In 1991, under the leadership of John Scully, Apple shared a bunch of design concepts with a Japanese magazine called Axis.   One of the strange products included in the spread was a wearable wrist computer called TimeBand.

Eva Xiao from Technode joined us in a two parter episodes on one of China’s top unicorns: Xiaomi. We traced the history of the company starting from the founders of the company, most notably Lei Jun and Bin Lin, and how they managed to bring in top talent such as Hugo Barra into the company. The post Episode 129: Xiaomi – Team, History & Products with Eva Xiao appeared first on Analyse Asia.

0:00 Starting from the last issue of Wired Magazine. The cover features Lei Jun, the CEO of Xiaomi, and the title of that issue says “It’s time to copy China”. Xiaomi’s success is because of its business model and marketing strategy. 13:00 The Internet got lost somewhere, and we didn’t record part of our conversation. So we started talking about other things related to the Chinese market. The new batch of companies from YC 2016 Spring some similar business models from China. Bo says cities in China might be the model of future cities, because they have the most and best resources.30:00 Given the fact that China is so different and unique in so many ways, it seems impossible to copy the O2O business models from China. Bo argues that if the trend is that more people are moving to the cities, big cities like NYC, SF will learn something from the Chinese companies in how they serve large population.41:00 I mentioned Indonesia couple times, and Bo spots that, so we start to talk about emerging market as big opportunities for Chinese companies.

非常感谢热心听众“沉默基因”对本文稿的贡献！ H: AlphaGo's win over one of the world's best Go players has got us wondering about which direction artificial intelligence is heading. Will robots beat humans in areas beyond playing an ancient chess game, or have they already done so? IT industry heavy weights, Jack Ma, Lei Jun and Mark Zuckerberg, have offered their views on the prospects of artificial intelligence at the China Development Forum in Beijing just a couple of days ago. So guys, where are we at right now in terms of artificial intelligence development?N: well, in terms of the story you just mentioned, we’re talking about the computer program AlphaGo which plays the game Go, and it played the game at best five seriesagainst the grandmaster, Lee Sedol, from South Korean, who is one the greatest or the best I think player of the game in the world. And the machine won 4-1 in the final match (HY: It was one victory!) for the human side, isn’t it, so the AlphaGo program has the capacity of learning for itself and learning new strategies as the game goes on, so even if you the game by beating, it can learn how you play, learn you know, your moves, the way you think as a player (HY: oh, Nik!) I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m just repeating the facts.H: You’re very words has set, you know, chills upmyspine, Liu Yan, how do you feel about the situation?L: Ok, this is really quite scary, I have to say, because as Nik mentioned, the victory was actually 4-1, but because it was 3 out of 5, best of 5, so as long as you win 3, then you already nailthe final victory. And as it turned out, AlphaGo, 1-3 in the row, so some people was speculating that, you know,AlphaGo actually, through one game in there, just make humans look better, and because he happened to lose the forth one, you know, the one after 3 in the row, I do also believe that it was possible, he kind of just through that away. And now that, you already have one on the score board, and the final one, and I can play my real, according to my real abilityagain. H: You’ve scared me a second time, as the way you referred to Mr. robotAlphaGo, you use “he”, as if it’s a real person!L: I know, but you know, somethings you just can’t deny, as far as AI is concerned. AI defeated human a long time ago, when it came to chess. And apparently, a lot of people are saying Go is likely the last safe place, because Go is so much more complicated, and needs much more human factors, human thinking, but now, the last place, is also… (HY: The laststraw ofthe world chess play. )it also gone, so, it should be very scary. It should be worried.H: Yes, and I think Nik, you make a really good point, that because the robot can learn, it can learn! Oh my gosh! So can we say that we don’t necessarily know that where the robots are going to arrive at, since it’slike a person that can learn things, and there is sort of cognitive activity going on, and is it fair to say as this way.N: I think, not quite. I think (HY: good, good), it can learn, but you know it developesstrategies when it does something wrong and it can learn how not to do that thing wrong again, the next time, but it doesn’t mean it can apply that acknowledge to anything outside the realms of the games necessarily. (HY: thank you, Nik, Thank you very much.) I also think although Go is a big advancement from chess, and it’s much more complicated game for humans as well as machine to learn how to play, other games where there is a kind of hidden aspect, like poker for example, it’s gonna be another kind of milestone, ifthe artificial intelligence learns how to do that, because in Go although it is very complicated, you know all the pieces are out on the table though, both side can see them, so it can learn those kind of strategies where if there was more hidden element, where you have to read another person, the opposite player, maybeisn’t quite there yet.L: That’s really a good point, because if you don’t see everything on the table, then you have to rely on watching someone’s facial expressions for example, and trying to figure out what he or she is exactly thinking, and since this was not involved at this stage, it’s relatively easy for the machine to beat the people, because the machine doesn’t have to do all that. And also, I know we have been painting a very scary picture as for, but if you don’t want to be scared, you can just think this way, cause at the end of the day, AlphaGo is still just a computer program, and who design that program? Humans. So computer programs cannot do something that human… if you don’t put it in the program. Then they certainly cannot do that. So as long as you don’t put it in the program for them to be so awesome, so intelligent, the program won’t be so awesome, so intelligent.H: You make a really good point, and also, if we have a directfirmanswer that we can control the robots in the way they so called think and develop, that they’re always in the control of the hands of humans, then I wouldn’t be so scared, but the reason why people like myself who don’t know much about technology, it is very happy to sleep in mycavewithout any advanced technology at my hand, I’m happy to live like that alright, we’re scared because we don’t know where this is going. Guys, what did the tycoons say?And where is this going?N: Mark Zuckerberg from facebook said he predicted there will be more big advances for artificial intelligence in just next decade. So we not quite finished yet in terms of the development. He said the artificial intelligence will understand senses, such as vision and hearing, and grasp language better than human beings over the next 5 to 10 years. And he highlighted the company Oculus VR, saying that it’sgoing to start producing its product virtual reality products and it could generate $110 billion by 2025, so it is a big business as well as artificial intelligence.L: And of course, Lei Jun, who is the founder of Xiaomi, also seems very optimistic. And he said, he expects AI to be able to beat a human champion at the current stage of development since it's a pretty complicated game, and he also said that now that we’re already see that AlphaGo beat human beings, you can expect that it will attract more capital and talent to the AI sector, so obviously, it will be more developed even in the future.N: One for you Heyang, Jack Mar says, there is no need for humans to fear the machines, he says, the machines will be stronger and smarter than human beings, but they will never be wiser, because wisdom, soul and heart are things that only human beings possess, isn’t that beautiful.H: That is beautiful, but you know, the cynic in me says‘Mr. Jack Madoesn’t sound like you know, that much about AI,’ sorry to say this, but because he is saying, OK, wisdom, fine, soul, fine, heart, fine, these aregreat concepts, but if the robot, it’s so clever, and if you can’t control it, this is all presumptions alright, then with the means nothing, if it can surpass you in other ways, and can terminateyou, that is notgonna happen everybody, I’m not going tosend scares or spread that.L: But I do think your worry is kind of valued, I don’t know if you guys have seen the film “her” from a couple of years ago. Scarlett Johansson (HY: oh, she is so hot. Oh, excuse me, I’m going to the wrong direction.) with her computer program, but a guy, played by Joaquin Phoenix, is totally to be able to be attracted just to a computer program, because she has possessed all those qualities, she has heart, she has soul, and she has intelligence, wisdom, so it is possible. And also last year, there was a film called “Ex Machina”, I don’t know if you have seen that, that one is even scarier, because in that one, robots actually were so clever and so manipulative, they eventually killed humans.H: And like so many other Hollywood films, they played with insecurity and anxiety in this area, because we don’t know what’s gonna to happen in the future, and if we are being colonized by robots, that kind of thing.Here on wechat, our listener Lin Yingdong, says I want a robot companion, I mean, girl, why? I’dbe scared, and like Japanese people are known for this, they’ve got a whole bunch of…like robot pet dogs, robot companions, and how could like human emotion be placed in that regard, I mean, I don’t know what is going on here.N: Now, it is a definitely area that you can easily see why people are scared or hate. I think, the more we have this conversation, the more I’m falling into that campas well I think. It is interesting that someone said that they would like a robot companion, I mean, what kind of companionship, someone sit in your house, and like to talk to, can it to talk back?L: This might be off the topic, but you know what this reminds me, it totally reminds me of the “大白”character from the Big Hero 6, (HY: the Baymax) yeah, the Baymax from the Big Hero 6, maybe she was thinking about the robot companion like that. That would be adorable, I would want one like that as well.H: Alright, I’m happy to be your friend, Liu Yan, (Nik: a human being.) Yeah, your blood and fresh, a real person.L: That would be the best, however, a robot could be very cuddly, which not necessarily, you know, human beings can do.H: What? Cuddlier than human beings? LY, What’s going on?L: I’m thinking about Baymax in particular.H: Baymax is cute. But yes, I think the ultimateworry for people is whether this technology can be controlled by people, and I mean, scientists out there that must be the bottom line that I think is really needed here. And just quickilybefore we go on to the next topic guys, a lot of people are saying that so many jobs are just gonna be takenover by robots, and I think a couple of months ago on this show, we talked about that even some of the news stories but news stories, alright, only reporting news without much of human touch, those kind of stories have been written by robot journalists. (Nik: we’re still safe now.) Are we? Are we? So what are the jobs that you think are gonna disappear the landscape from the job market for humans, and how can we deal the situation.L: I think if a job requires a lot of data or to be processed or a great deal of routine to be repeated, then this job probably will be tookoverby robots, because it’s relatively easy. However, if this is a job requires a lot of creative input, for example, if you are an artist, I don’t think that would be easily replaceable by any robots any time soon. So it’s really depends on the quality or the specific requirement of the job.N: Anything, any kind of job where you perform repetitive kind of continuousaction throughout the day doesn’t change that much, I think something robots probably do better in a lot of cases, cause they’re soquick and efficient and also you don’t have to pay them.H: So, yeah, you don’t need to pay for them, but you need to charge the battery probably, keep them connect to the electronic sockets and those kind of things. And yeah, our wechat listener Jessy has something pretty smart to say regarding this topic. She says about the list of jobs that will easily be replaced in the future by the robots has gone viral on wechat right now, and like accountants, security guards, cleaning jobs, and delivering jobs, these things might have no place for humans in the future, but what distinguishes us from robots is that we, as human beings are able to feel stuff, we are not emotionless. So she holds this slightly positive view that is, you know, there is still place for humans as long as humans are in the control position, but it’s going to be hard to defend that position if the technology is that advanced, and I think this is one of those high grounds we have to guard as humans...
