Just when Zhou Shi was working hard for the development of Yahoo in the United States, the domestic Internet market also changed greatly, and Alibaba Cloud and Shanda Cloud were launched one after another. Cloud computing, a term that has been said many times by Zhou Shi, has finally been widely mentioned in China. Of course, this is not the most impactful, the domestic Internet real-name system, including the future telecommunications real-name system, is the most far-reaching action in China, which means that all our activities on the Internet may be supervised by the state's violent agencies, and this does not bring security to us ordinary people, and telecom fraud will become more and more serious in the next few years. The purpose of the real-name system has never been to protect the interests of ordinary people, but to maintain the stability of social rule.

Zhou Shi also received a phone call, saying that he won this year's CCTV China Economic Person of the Year and hoped that he would participate. I asked about the list of winners this year, and I didn't know much, Feng Xing of Guoke, Dadongzi of Jingdong was selected, and Liu Chuanzhi won the Lifetime Achievement Award. Zhou Shi did not choose to return to China in the end, and let Lei Jun accept the award instead of him. At the end of the year, there were more media organizations to award him, and he really didn't have time. In the selection of Time Magazine's Person of the Year, he became the Person of the Year along with "Demonstrator". Once again, it was on the cover of Time Magazine's American edition. He also has to cooperate with the reporters of Time Magazine to take pictures, and in the face of such an honor, Zhou Shi will certainly not remain cold. You must know that the emergence of this result has a lot of public relations expenses for him.

"As a Chinese from China, it can be said that you can achieve such an achievement in the United States, which can be said to be a very big miracle, what do you think of your success?" asked a reporter from Time magazine.

"Thank you for this era, thank you for maintaining friendly relations between China and the United States, in fact, I don't know how I succeeded, everything is like a dream, I ignored the surrounding scenery in my dream and kept moving forward, and then I had the current result!" Zhou Shi, Zuckerberg instead of Zhou Shi became Time Magazine's Person of the Year last year, which is obviously discriminatory, and the younger Zhou Shi should be more representative of the post-80s. Of course, at that time, he was only Yelp, and he had a great disadvantage in corporate influence. Although wealth is not the only selection criterion for Time Magazine, Zhou Shi's unconventional wealth accumulation should be an exception. This year, with the acquisition of Yahoo, he promoted the development of artificial intelligence, plus money and connections, Time can no longer ignore the world's richest man in the post-80s, the youngest richest Chinese.

reviewed Zhou Shi's past achievements and talked about his transformation of Yahoo.

"Now there is a strange phenomenon, that is, everyone is optimistic about the development of Yahoo, but the reasons for being optimistic are different, can you elaborate on the future of Yahoo?"

"The only thing I know for sure is that Yahoo will be a technology-driven company in the future, improving people's lives through technological advancements. From the current point of view, Yahoo is mainly divided into two brands, one is my previous yelp, which is mainly responsible for local life services, it can also be said to be O2O, the key is to open up the connection between the Internet and offline physical stores. We aim at people's basic needs, food, clothing, shelter and transportation. Creating value by providing better services to merchants and consumers is a huge market that has only just begun, and there are still many difficulties to overcome in front of us. Yahoo brand will be a typical Internet technology brand, I hope Yahoo will be one of the representatives of big data and artificial intelligence in the future, the development of the Internet has generated a lot of data, and it is also constantly generating new data, which is valuable, and how to use these values needs to rely on big data and artificial intelligence analysis. Yahoo is now starting to do this, and we are constantly iterating to improve our products through the analysis of big data. At the same time, the development of artificial intelligence can also help improve the accuracy of Yahoo's search. In the long run, AI is at the core of everything we do, but this does not mean that we will use AI extensively, and we are cautious about its use. "Zhou Shi

"Are you worried that the development of artificial intelligence will cause devastating damage to human society in the future?"

"You should be talking about what happened after the emergence of artificial intelligence life, and now that artificial intelligence has not appeared, it is still a question whether artificial intelligence life can be born. But we've done a bit of precaution by having an ethics review team in our core team where they can veto some of the code and designs that involve unethical practices, and if Yahoo Brain is successful, we're going to set up an ethics review committee to invite people outside the company who don't have a stake in us to conduct more rigorous scrutiny. Our approach is to prevent the possibility of that terrible phenomenon at its source. Of course, as we learn more about AI, there may be more ways to do it. We use artificial intelligence cautiously because we are worried that it will invisibly affect human beings and form biases!"

Although Zhou Shi's statement is not perfect, at least it is very sincere, Yahoo is not the only one who is researching artificial intelligence, unless the whole world does not study it, it will face similar problems, this is not the responsibility of one person or one company, this is the responsibility of the whole society. Of course, the reporter doesn't have much to say, so he can't let Zhou Shi not develop artificial intelligence. However, since Zhou Shi and Yahoo have become the nominal pioneers, they will also take on more responsibilities in the future, and it is even more troublesome for Toutiao and Douyin to make people prejudiced penguin addiction appear in Europe and the United States, when there is not only moral potential, but also may be punished by law. Artificial intelligence is a double-edged sword, hurting others and hurting himself, and Zhou Shi has to prevent it.

"We noticed that you rarely make charitable donations and rarely pay taxes even in the United States, and we want to know why you made such a choice?" The reporter asked a question about hidden traps, obviously he had already done public relations, but he was still so unfriendly, and the reporter's statement could easily hurt Zhou Shi.

"First of all, all my actions are legal, otherwise someone from the IRS would have come to me a long time ago, and you ask me why I don't pay more taxes, do I still need to ask this question? There should be very few people in the world who want to pay more taxes, right? As for charity, this is a very complicated issue for me. As far as I know, most charitable funds in the United States are not pure, and the industry does not function as a charitable fund in terms of size. I very much doubt how effective the existing philanthropic model is, and how many people use charity to avoid taxes and hide their wealth. "Zhou Shi

"There are many well-known charitable foundations in the United States, such as Bill Gai," the reporter said

"I don't deny that there are people who are genuinely charitable, but they don't play a good role. ”

"Do you think there is a better way to do charity than a charitable fund, or do you not want to do charity?"

"Do you think it's fair that the world's wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few? Is this good or bad for our entire society?" Zhou Shi asked rhetorically

"Of course it's not a good thing. "Journalists

"yes, I think so too!" Zhou Shi
