Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 1517 Most people are not optimistic about Niu Xiaoqiang
The reporters continued to ask questions, and it took nearly two hours to disperse.

In the next hour, these reporters released the relevant news on their own media.

In order to win attention and attract the public's attention as much as possible, many reporters conceived news headlines with great eyeball effect, such as "MIT wants to compete with Stanford!" "," MIT sent people to challenge Stanford, vowing to defend their leadership in the field of intelligence! ", "MIT: Stand Ford aside!We are the world's number one in the field of intelligence! "This type of headline is frequently seen in the newspapers.

What's more, the nature of this challenge was even directly raised to a higher level. For example, a reporter from the Boston Post, she took the news headline like this: "The Ultimate Showdown between Humans and Computers!"Who is the most powerful existence on this planet? ".

The headline of the Boston University Journal reads "Human VS Computer, A Showdown Destined to Be Recorded in History!" "

The headline in the Massachusetts Morning Post reads: "A Crazy and Bold Decision: An MIT Student Will Challenge Artificial Intelligence!" "

With the concentrated reports of more than a dozen news media, the news about this challenge instantly detonated the entire Boston area. Many teachers and students thought that the news they got was false, because in their opinion, this challenge was too much. Ridiculous, MIT should not be able to do such a thing.These people think that manpower is limited after all, no matter how powerful a person is, how can he be an opponent of a computer?
Some people think that this decision of MIT is too reckless, and it is likely to seriously damage the reputation of MIT and make MIT a joke.

These are the opinions of people who know something about computers, and those who don't understand computers are even more exaggerated. They directly sentenced MIT's challenger to death, believing that this challenger had no hope of winning.

This is because the news media has always portrayed the computer as a high-tech product, and the image of the computer's cutting-edge technology is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.In the eyes of the general public, computers are invincible in certain fields, and only another computer can defeat a computer. As for humans, they don't even have to think about it.

For a while, the people, teachers and students in the Boston area were all pessimistic about MIT. Except for Watson and Big Robert who had a certain degree of confidence in Niu Xiaoqiang, no one else was optimistic about the result of this challenge.

Professor Watson soon received a call from the school board: "Watson, is the news reported in newspapers and televisions true? The School of Computer Science in our school has really sent someone to challenge the intelligent program written by Stanford University?"

Watson has long expected such a thing to happen, and he has long been mentally prepared to deal with it.He smiled slightly, and replied in a helpless tone: "Mr. Morton, I believe you should understand the style of the news media. They have always been afraid that the world will not be chaotic. Although our School of Computer Science did send people to talk to Stanford University Intelligent program duel, but this is just a purely academic exchange, not as exaggerated as reported by the news media."

Morton believed Watson's words. He sighed several times and said anxiously: "Why didn't you tell us in advance? Now that the news has spread, once the challenge fails, MIT's reputation will suffer unprecedentedly." Serious blow, how do you want me to explain to the teachers and students?"

Watson said sincerely: "I am really sorry for the current situation, but this is not my intention. In addition, we are not without any chance of winning. If we win, this will damage MIT's reputation." There are still opportunities to upgrade to a whole new level, so Mr. Morton please stay calm."

Morton complained angrily and funnyly: "Watson, although I am not a computer major, I still know something about computers. No matter how powerful the human brain is, how can it be a computer opponent? Don't take these things The words are here to comfort me, now please contact the student you sent out immediately, and ask him not to undertake this challenge."

Watson paused for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Morton, I'm not completely comforting you. The person we sent out to challenge this time is Niu Xiaoqiang. You should remember him, right? He is a genius among geniuses, because That's why I said that just now, other people have no chance of winning, but Niu Xiaoqiang still has a possibility."

Morton has heard of Niu Xiaoqiang's name for a long time. This international student from China has almost become a myth among the student community. Some students were not convinced by him and challenged Niu Xiaoqiang in public.As a result, Niu Xiaoqiang faced the entire class by himself, and defeated all the students in the class.

Since then, no student dared to question Niu Xiaoqiang's strength, and no student was dissatisfied with the privileges Niu Xiaoqiang had obtained in school.No way, people just have this strength.

Among the faculty and staff, Niu Xiaoqiang is also well received and has a high popularity.

Especially those very influential professors who participated in the genius assessment on him. According to their description, Niu Xiaoqiang is a rare genius. These professors all want Niu Xiaoqiang to join their discipline For this reason, he is even willing to give Niu Xiaoqiang more privileges.

Even though Niu Xiaoqiang declined their invitation politely, they did not have any dissatisfaction with Niu Xiaoqiang, because in their opinion, a talented student like Niu Xiaoqiang has the right to refuse them.

These people can serve as top professors in various disciplines at MIT, and their vision and knowledge are naturally unquestionable. Morton believes that they will never be mistaken collectively. Therefore, Niu Xiaoqiang's super personal ability is absolutely true and credible .

However, this also does not change Morton's point of view. He believes that computers cannot be defeated by human brains at all, especially when it comes to calculations, humans and computers are completely incomparable.

In consideration of protecting the school's reputation, Morton put forward his own request: "Even if Niu Xiaoqiang might win, the probability is extremely small. Watson, we can't take this risk. You should contact Niu Xiaoqiang immediately and ask him to terminate this challenge." Bar."

Watson already had a countermeasure, he nodded: "In this case, I will contact him right away, if I get in touch, let him cancel this challenge, if not, then I will take the fastest flight to California Stop him."
