On June 19 and 10, Tencent adjusted the company's rank system and optimized the professional rank system to 14 (4- 17). At the same time, the professional label between different ranks was removed and replaced by "professional rank+professional title".
17 is the highest professional rank of Tencent employees, and it is positioned as an "authoritative expert", while 16 and below are all "engineers": grades 4 and 5 are power engineers, grades 6-8 are engineers, grades 9-1/are senior engineers,/kloc-
According to Tencent, Zhang is from a small village in Taizhou, Zhejiang. He studied radio in Zhejiang University (now majoring in information and electronic engineering). My junior year began to contact computers, which were still large computers. He must make an appointment to use the computer. Without a keyboard, you have to turn instructions into punched cards first.
Later, Zhang went to France to study. After more than 30 years overseas, he became a world-famous artificial intelligence and robotics scientist, and officially joined Tencent on 20 18.
When asked about the promotion from 16 to 17, Zhang replied that promotion is an honor for me, but this honor is actually with the laboratory. So I still want to thank the students in the lab. Honor belongs to everyone. From another angle, we can also see Tencent's sense of identity and support for science and technology.
Their goal is to solve some big social problems in China, such as the aging society in China and intelligent manufacturing.
Zhang is going to be a real robot. He said: "The three core technologies of robots are mobility, dexterous operation and agent. At present, robots can't accomplish some tasks independently, efficiently and stably. When we overcome these technical difficulties, we can make the robot we really want. "
His vision of the future world is: with the development of artificial intelligence, AR, VR, digital twinning and other technologies, the future will be a world of virtual and real integration, a new world built between the real world (physical world) and the virtual world (digital world) through human beings, AI and robots.
"But in what form, I don't know. The cutting-edge research we do is to make some preparations for this new era. "
He also hopes to translate Tao Te Ching into English within one year. "I also learned the Tao Te Ching recently. When I was looking for an English translation, I found that their translation was different from my understanding, so I decided to translate the Tao Te Ching into English myself. "
