Chapter 545: Speech

The World Artificial Intelligence Conference was held as scheduled, bringing together high-tech enterprises, scientists and media workers from all over the world in the city of the future.

In the past, such a provincial capital would have been warmly welcomed by the people, but in this time of global economic turmoil, people all over the world are not only concerned and hopeful, but also have doubts about its hosting.

Hearing that Lu Yan, the founder of Hongxin Group, would attend, the media who heard the news were waiting at the conference venue of the Science and Technology Tower early.

The conference is about to begin, the venue is full, and the conference will be broadcast live on the news without delay around the world. The mainstream media in various countries have obtained the right to broadcast it.

"Next, I invite Mr. Lu Yan, the founder of Hongxin Group, to deliver a speech before the meeting!" After the host finished speaking, there was warm applause in the venue, and people's eyes focused on Lu Zixin.

Lu Zixin walked to the front of the stage and said: "I know that the World Artificial Intelligence Conference held today has mixed reviews for it. Some people believe that it is the provincial capital of scientific and technological development, while others believe that it, or all the high-tech it represents, is the main culprit of economic turmoil. ”

"I'm here to attend this conference today just to talk to you about my thoughts, that is, the issue that everyone is most concerned about, whether quantum information technology, robots or other high-tech technologies represented by artificial intelligence are good or bad for us, and are they really the culprits that cause unemployment and economic turmoil around the world?"

"Technological development will cause a large number of people to lose their jobs, causing economic turmoil and social unrest. This is not the first time that such a thing or worry has happened. Every new industrial revolution is accompanied by these problems. ”

"During the first industrial revolution, machines began to be widely used. The craftsmen who used to work safely found that the machines 'robbed' them of their jobs! Even the most primitive steam machines could not be replaced by human labor. Just like today, our smart technology and robotics have replaced traditional industrial manufacturing. ”

"At that time, people were also 'disgusted' and 'complaining' about the development of machines. Some people even feel that as long as there are no machines, they can continue to live such a stable life. So a British worker named Lourdes smashed two looms, and he was still regarded as the leader of anti-industrialization at the time. ”

In economics, this is how the Ludd fallacy comes from. This view is that the development of technology will reduce the demand for labor, leading to an increase in unemployment. Centuries later, even now, many people still hold this view. ”

In fact, technological development has liberated people from heavy labor. And when people have free time, they generate more needs. They want to listen to music, drink coffee, watch movies, play games...... More jobs are being created. ”

"There are a lot of people who think that technology is causing the wave of unemployment, and I disagree. Since the development of high-tech technologies such as artificial intelligence, it is true that some traditional industries have gradually disappeared, but new jobs and industries are also emerging. ”

"Ten years ago, could you imagine that there would be professions like AI trainers and AI maintainers, and there would be robots and technicians, and there would be careers like driverless controllers?"

Lu Zixin said, a reporter below raised his hand, Lu Zixin nodded to him, and said, "If you have any questions, please say it." ”

The reporter said: "Hello Mr. Lu, I am a reporter from the Economic Daily. The new occupations you mentioned are indeed emerging, but such occupations are too technically demanding, and we, ordinary people, are still at risk of losing our jobs. ”

"You're right. Lu Zixin nodded, "It is undeniable that the development of new technologies has replaced simple labor positions, and the requirements of new industries for vocational skills are increasing. Judging from the industrial structure of the past, this is the case with every industrial revolution. A period of discomfort is inevitable. ”

Nobel laureate economist Leontief said that the most essential difference between humans and machines is that they can take on new and more complex tasks. ”

"From the perspective of scientific and technological development, the impact of automation technology and artificial intelligence substitution on many current occupations is inevitable. But equally, the opportunities it has created for us are unprecedented. ”

"For example, the lawyer profession needs to learn a lot of knowledge and find a lot of information, and our time and energy are limited. At this time, the emergence of artificial intelligence assistants can filter the massive information for him. So that what used to take him a month, or even half a year, can be completed in one day!"

What does this mean? This shows that artificial intelligence and other high-tech technologies are essentially bringing about changes in tools. From bulky industrial robots to intelligent industrial robots, production efficiency is improving and process accuracy is improving. And it is we humans who control these robots. Designing robot programs, performing safety maintenance, making capacity adjustments, and more. ”

"You might think that I'm talking about high-end careers, and for most people, their level of knowledge and technology is still not up to that level. Lu Zixin paused for a while and said, "Yes, that's true. A new profession requires new knowledge, and what we have to do is to learn and adapt. ”

"When you take AI as an enemy, you will be defeated by it. After all, a person's wisdom is limited, and behind artificial intelligence, there is the crystallization of the wisdom of countless people. And when you use AI as a tool, then you become the leader of the new era!"

"Did AI really make some kind of work disappear? No, AI came along and just updated the tools. ”

"Medicine, Arts, Transportation, Education...... Regardless of the field, this latest tool is used. ”

"This change came so quickly that a lot of people panicked and didn't know how to adapt. This is not just a problem for everyone, but a problem for our business and society. Companies should know that if they apply this tool, if they let our professionals learn to use it. The society should encourage new occupations, create newer new occupations, and adjust the industrial system and economic structure as soon as possible. ”

"To put it simply, we have broken the old rice bowl, and we must also give people a new job, so that the majority of workers will not be eliminated by the times!"
