Abstract

With the popularization of the mobile internet and the Internet of Things, as well as the rise of artificial intelligence, voice conversations based interaction and auditory perception based artificial intelligence have become convenient and important. From Apple's Siri to Microsoft's Cortana, from Amazon's Echo to Google's Google Home, and from the Big Model to the Metaverse, a series of auditory centered artificial intelligence technologies have begun to enter millions of households, and speech dialogue and auditory technology have begun to change our lives in many ways. This talk will introduce the current auditory artificial intelligence technology and its development status, and provide an introduction on the industrial application of related technologies.
