In the interview, Dai Wenyuan reviewed his beginnings and achievements at Baidu. In 2009, Dai Wenyuan joined Baidu as the technical director of Honeycomb Strategy, which is one of Baidu's most important strategies. During my four years working at Baidu,He was not only responsible for building the earliest and largest commercial machine learning system and business-driven system in China, but also promoted one of the earliest artificial intelligence practices in the Internet field.

When talking about how Baidu discovered and valued Dai Wenyuan's talents, Dai Wenyuan explained that he joined Baidu not because the company had a ready-made AI department, but because he was discovered by Baidu as a promising student and gave him the freedom to choose a department and job. He chose the advertising department,Because he realizes that AI technology will require significant investment in the future, and he will need to work in a department where value can be directly measured.

In the early days of Baidu, Dai Wenyuan had very limited resources. He recalled that his team had only one or two people at the time, using the worst performing machines that the other teams no longer needed. They often need to use other teams' idle machines late at night to run tasks because their own machines are too slow.This painstaking entrepreneurial spirit and extreme use of resources ultimately helped them develop the first version of the AI system and achieve great success.

In Baidu's three years,Dai Wenyuan was not only quickly promoted to a senior scientist, reaching the T10 level that many people would never reach in their lives, but also received Baidu's highest award — a prize of 1 million US dollarsThis is not only an affirmation of his personal talent, but also a recognition of the value of AI technology.

However, Dai Wenyuan admits that he wants more than commercial success. By 2012, Dai Wenyuan felt that his goal in Baidu was —Using AI to create value for the industry, already implemented.

So heHe chose to leave when Baidu was at his best because he wanted to achieve greater goals.He hopes that AI technology can create value not only for one company, but for society as a whole. This vision prompted him to leave Baidu to seek a broader stage.

Baidu's work has not only had a profound impact within the company, but has also attracted widespread attention in the Internet industry as a whole.His practice proved the application potential of AI technology in the commercial field and provided valuable experience and enlightenment for latecomers.
