Shangtang to C: the only way for AI technology to mature?

2022-08-12

On August 9, Shangtang technology released its first household consumption level artificial intelligence product - "yuanradish senserobot". It is reported that "yuanradish" is an AI chess robot product, which currently mainly supports Chinese chess playing, including AI learning chess, residual game challenge, chess strength breakthrough, peak challenge and other modes. In terms of price, the pro version of "Yuan Radish" is priced at 2499 yuan, and the standard version is priced at 1999 yuan. After the product was released, there were some doubts on social media. Some people think that there are a lot of free chess software on the market at present, which can also provide man-machine combat. Why do consumers buy Shangtang, which costs nearly 2000 yuan. However, from the perspective of Shangtang technology, the AI ability behind "yuanradish" is on the one hand, and more importantly, it allows people to jump out of the electronic screen and experience the real feeling of "playing chess". Shen Hui, President of Shangtang science and Technology Innovation Engineering Institute, said that after nine versions of product iterations, yuanradish still retains the form of a mechanical arm, hoping that it can have a "hand" like a real chess player. As for the market prospect, Shen Hui said in an interview with the reporter that in addition to online channels, yuanradish also attaches great importance to offline. In the future, it will cooperate with several large domestic agents to let this product go to hundreds of stores. "Yuanradish is a product with strong experience. For such a product, we should put it offline and let potential users try it. Only in this way can we deeply feel the value of this product.". However, in the view of many people in the industry, the more important significance of yuanradish is that it is the first consumer grade product launched by Shangtang technology, which also means that Shangtang, which has been deeply engaged in to B business in the past, has made adjustments in its business strategy. Therefore, what is the thinking behind Shangtang's to C products is also a question of more concern to the outside world. From to B to to to C, according to the financial report, the revenue of Shangtang technology in 2021 is 4.7 billion yuan, of which the revenue from smart city business accounts for 45.6%, and the revenue from smart business accounts for 41.7%. These two businesses together contribute 87.3% of Shangtang's revenue. The remaining two businesses are smart life and smart cars, accounting for 8.8% and 3.9% respectively. At present, the four major business segments are all to B business, so it is not too much to say that Shangtang is a to B company. Of course, among these businesses, Shangtang's smart life business is very close to the consumer market. It is reported that the main service objects of Shangtang smart life business are consumer oriented enterprises, such as mobile phone manufacturers, mobile applications and mobile game developers. By the end of 2021, a total of 1.5 billion mobile phones equipped with the AI SDK of Shangtang technology had been shipped. Therefore, some mobile phone functions used by many consumers, such as face brushing and unlocking, night view enhancement, smart photo album and other AI functions, actually come from Shangtang. After the release of "yuanradish", Shen Hui told the reporter that the definition of Shangtang technology should not be to B company, but an AI technology company. "Any new technology is not so mature, but relatively mature, and then very mature. When a technology is not so mature
