Technology company, I will become the light of China!

Xu Shanshan took out the documents from her briefcase and placed them in front of Chen Xing. After putting on the translator and making full preparations, the latter adjusted the height of the offline microphone and blew lightly on the microphone twice to remind all the national representatives present.

Don't underestimate this detail; it's standard etiquette for large meetings.

The first is to check the equipment.

The second is to remind the whole audience.

If you speak directly, it will give people a sense of abruptness and urgency.

No matter whether it is a large meeting or a small meeting, the person who speaks first will definitely make some noise to get everyone's attention before getting into the topic.

Although everyone's eyes are fixed on the Dragon Country representative seating area, etiquette must not be forgotten, as details determine success or failure.

"Dear representatives from all countries, I am Chen Xing. I am honored to represent Dragon Country to attend this year's Davos Forum. I sincerely thank you for coming all the way to Dragon Country's Magic City."

"Clap clap-"

The voice just fell.

The audience applauded as expected.

Behind the warm applause, the representatives of small countries were extremely nervous and their eyes were always observing the attitudes of the representatives of the UK, the US and France.

Only after they saw the representatives from Britain, the United States and France applauding did they dare to applaud.

This also caused the applause to grow from weak to strong, and lasted much longer than three seconds, reaching five seconds.

Chen Xing, who was sitting in the Dragon Country representative seat, naturally saw this scene. He was also very clear that although the Dragon Country was now extremely powerful, the old powerful country had not lost its dominance.

Countries like Britain and France, although they once became the younger brothers of the United States, they are still the "big brothers" in some African countries. Even the United States does not have as much influence as them.

to be honest.

I'm just afraid of being beaten.

As the applause grew stronger and then weaker, Chen Xing waited for half a second, glanced at the documents on the table, and then continued, "The theme of this Davos Forum is 'Win-win Cooperation in the Age of Intelligence.'"

When the theme of the conference was announced, translators from various countries translated the ten words "win-win cooperation in the intelligent era" into their local languages, and the representatives also hurriedly wrote down the theme.

They had actually anticipated the topic of the intelligent era.

Because Longguo's Ai technology is so powerful, both computing power and electricity are far ahead of the world.

A big part of the reason why the United States gave in is that it was afraid of the weapons breakthrough brought by AI.

You know, in the military field, such as fighter jets and warships, once unmanned automatic combat is achieved, it will become very scary.

Because there are no human constraints, all that is needed is unlimited production so that they can be continuously deployed on the battlefield. Theoretically speaking, unlimited resources are equivalent to "unlimited troops."

Just imagine, if 1 Dragon-20s were carrying out bombing and ground-clearing missions at the same time, which country could withstand this baptism?
Don't think it's unrealistic. No matter how expensive a fighter jet is, it can be produced again if there are materials. There will definitely be huge stockpiles among major countries. But it's different for pilots. One less death is one less.

In times of war, pilots are worth far more than the aircraft themselves.

This is because modern fighter jets are all supersonic fighter jets, and when flying at supersonic speeds, the pilots need to withstand overload pressure.

According to official information, professionally trained pilots are able to perform missions in a continuous overload environment of up to 4G, but this can only ensure that no serious physiological reactions will occur.

The 4G here is not the network, but the acceleration of gravity, which is equivalent to the pilot being able to withstand four times the gravity of his own body.

What does quadruple gravity mean?
Suppose you are a thin person weighing 100 pounds, and the earth suddenly exerts 400 pounds of gravity on you. Not to mention whether you will be crushed, the worst thing is that the heart will not be able to pump blood to the brain, and the blood circulation will be completely disrupted.

In mild cases, it may cause fainting.

In severe cases, brain death may occur.

This goes without saying for ordinary people. Even professional pilots will experience various physiological reactions in their bodies when overloaded. For example, blood will flow from the head to the legs due to pressure, resulting in a decrease in blood volume in the brain, an increase in carbon dioxide concentration, and "blackouts" due to ischemia and hypoxia in the visual organs.

It is precisely because of the limitations of the pilots' physical fitness that supersonic fighters have been unable to break through higher Mach speeds.

The highest "normal" flight Mach recorded so far is Mach 3.5 of the Mirage IV bomber, with the pilot experiencing an overload of about 5G.

As for fighter jets that can reach Mach 4 or above, no country has publicly released records of pilot overload gravity.

Once unmanned automatic fighter jets are realized, not to mention Mach 4 and Mach 5, even Mach 10 may be possible, because designers no longer need to consider whether the pilot can withstand the overload pressure, they just need to increase the speed to the maximum.

It is precisely because of uncertainty that the United States is willing to give up its throne.

After all, when facing an opponent that may be several times stronger than yourself, it is wise to give in. The essence of politicians from all countries is that they only want benefits, not the destruction of the world.

When the global audience heard that the theme of the "2017 Davos Forum" was the field of intelligence, comments immediately flew.

"It is indeed an intelligent economy. Dragon Country's achievements in AI are unmatched by any other country. If they want to redistribute the interests of various countries, they will definitely start from themselves."

"I went to Longguo two months ago. Their driverless car technology is already very mature. You can hardly see any manned taxis on the streets."

"And their flying cars. When I stood under the Oriental Pearl Tower, I felt like I had entered the future!"

"No one drives taxis anymore? Do they have so many jobs to offer? I heard that there are hundreds of millions of taxi drivers in Longguo, and to be precise, that also includes online ride-hailing drivers."

"They have good welfare. Didn't Goldman Sachs predict that Dragon's GDP growth rate will reach an astonishing 30% this year? They can use part of it to subsidize the unemployed, just like developed countries."

"A developed country with a population of 14 billion, is this the Oriental Dragon?"

Audiences around the world were discussing the event and sharing their insights in live broadcasts on various platforms.

……

Chen Xing gave representatives from various countries enough time to prepare for this topic.

About two minutes later, he coughed twice and entered the keynote speech: "When it comes to cooperation in the intelligent era, we have to mention why we should pursue intelligence."

“What is intelligence?”

“It’s essentially labor replacement.”

Chen Xing asked and answered his own questions in a sonorous and powerful voice, which made all the national representatives start to take note of the key points.

"In 1765, James Hargreaves, a textile worker in the Kingdom of Britain, developed the spinning jenny, which could spin multiple yarns at a time, greatly improving the spinning efficiency and marking the beginning of the Industrial Revolution."

“What is its underlying logic?”

“Improve labor efficiency.”

"Let's go back a little further in time, for example, tens of thousands of years ago, when it was still the tribal period. Our ancestors went from eating raw meat and drinking blood to learning to use various tools, which in itself improved labor efficiency."

"I believe many people have watched the movie Man vs. Wild. If you can choose a tool, the knife is definitely the first choice. Its essence is the product of our human pursuit of labor efficiency."

After taking a breath, Chen Xing continued, "It is not difficult to see that even our ancestors ten thousand years ago, or you and me in modern society, are actually pursuing labor efficiency."

"It is precisely because of the pursuit of efficiency that we have technological products such as cars, mobile phones, the Internet, and space satellites." At this point, Chen Xing suddenly emphasized his tone, as if introducing a heavyweight figure, and said: "In order to further improve labor efficiency, I think we need to embrace the intelligent field and develop the intelligent field economy."

"Of course."

"I have also prepared three reasons for development."

“First, artificial intelligence can replace most human work, double productivity, and increase the country’s GDP income level.”

"Second, the smart economy is still in its early stages of development. It is a brand new economic growth point that is well worth exploring."

“Third, the field of intelligence has the potential to achieve wealth freedom for all mankind and put our energy into space, because we no longer need people to serve people, but robots will take over.”

The three points raised made representatives from various countries ponder.

The third point in particular made many national representatives treat it with caution. They actually heard that Chen Xing had another meaning.

People do not serve people, but robots do. This implies the class inequality that has been formed in human society for tens of thousands of years.

Force, money, and power divide people into different classes. The so-called "ninth class of people" have no choice but to serve the "third and sixth class of people" for money, power, or fear of force, and are given a nice name called an employment relationship.

In Chen Xing's view, the development of the intelligent field can not only improve labor productivity, but also promote equality for all.

"I have a question." Someone raised his hand while staring at Chen Xing.

All of a sudden.

All eyes were on him.

The person who spoke was none other than the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Renato Marotta.

Chen Xing also knew this person and had dealt with him several times. He smiled calmly and said without any stage fright: "It's okay to speak frankly."

"From what you said just now, Longxing Group, or Longguo, is going to develop in the field of highly intelligent robots?"

"Yes."

Chen Xing did not deny it.

"Then how do you ensure that highly intelligent robots won't get out of control?" Renato Marotta asked a soul-searching question.

You should know that many science fiction blockbusters have an enduring theme, which is the awakening of machines, and then enslaving humans in turn, such as "The Matrix", "Terminator", "Transcendence", etc.

If we want to deeply develop the field of intelligence, we must ensure that it is safe.

Chen Xing smiled, and was obviously prepared. He responded: "This question is actually very easy to answer. That is to look at ourselves."

"Myself?"

Renato Marotta was puzzled.

All the national representatives present frowned secretly, not knowing what Chen Xing was talking about. Or perhaps, what Chen Xing described was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people and had to be chewed carefully before they could understand it.

Not only the national representatives, but also the global audience were a little confused.

"What does Chen Xing want to express? Why does this problem involve ourselves? Shouldn't we set restrictions on robots?"

"I don't quite understand. It's a bit too profound."

"I would have thought that President Chen would say that Longxing Group would encrypt layer by layer and write into the lowest level code structure that it is not allowed to resist humans."

"There is a drawback to writing "no resistance to humans" into the lowest-level code structure. If a human instructs a robot to kill someone, should it resist or not?"

"Indeed, Chen Xing must have written the prohibition of harming humans into the underlying code structure. If two underlying instructions conflict, which one will the robot listen to?!!"

"Hearing what you said, it feels like Chen Xing is going to destroy the human world!"

We can't blame the audience for thinking about safety issues. After all, humans are carbon-based creatures, and robots are silicon-based. Even someone as strong as Tyson would have to admit defeat when encountering a robot of the same tonnage.

Why do you say you will give in?
You just need to gather your strength and then punch the steel door hard and you will know.

When everyone was confused, Chen Xing asked a soul-searching question.

"If I remember correctly, the developers of the Gatling machine gun originally wanted to use it to reduce casualties, but it was widely used in wars and claimed countless lives."

"There is also the development of nuclear energy, which was originally intended to solve humanity's energy crisis, but it led to the creation of weapons of mass destruction such as the atomic bomb."

“Will highly intelligent robots harm humans?”

"I don't think so!"

"If that day really comes, it must be caused by human factors, and it will never be the so-called robots that secretly tamper with the underlying code!"

Chen Xing's voice gradually grew stronger, and every word he said struck directly at the heart.

Whether it is Prince William, Davic, Renato Marotta, or Hideki Uehara, they all have to think about a question, that is, how much have the technological products they developed deviated from their original intentions?

"It's not the technology that's wrong, it's the human heart!"

Chen Xing added the final touch.

In an instant.

Applause continued to arrive.

"Clap clap-"

Representatives from various countries looked at Chen Xing with a little more admiration. This angle can indeed be used to criticize some science fiction movies.

It is also some science fiction movies that have caused many people to develop a fear of robots, thinking that once they are further developed, they will inevitably be anti-human and will definitely enslave humans.

But only those who have studied artificial intelligence know how powerful the limitations of the underlying code are. It is similar to the human genetic lock. For millions of years, humans have not been able to break through the limitations of the genetic lock.

Even today, humans have mastered the "Gene Scissors Technology", but are still unable to break through the limitations of genes. Those who are destined to die will still die, and there is still a gap in intelligence levels.

While Xiao Gang and Xu Shanshan were applauding, they also glanced sideways at Chen Xing who was sitting in the middle. Sometimes they really had to admire this man for his way of speaking.

They really have no way to refute the statement that "it's not the technology that's wrong, it's the human heart."

Because the original intention of developing technological products is indeed to serve humanity, but they have been modified by those with ulterior motives.

As the audience applauded, Chen Xing suddenly changed the subject and interrupted everyone:
"Although technology is not guilty, it also has joint responsibility. In order to prevent this type of thing from happening, Longxing Group will embed a self-destruction program into the robot's highest authority program. As long as someone has evil intentions, the robot will be automatically destroyed immediately!"

"Also, if anyone tries to crack it, I can give you four words."

"You can try it!"
