Chapter 65: Artificial Intelligence Is Pandora's Box?

At the end of the dinner, Zhang Wei and other business CEOs said goodbye one by one, and then left this private restaurant with Ning Wei and Zhao Rui. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The CEOs of those companies who still drive luxury cars such as Rollslas, Bentley, and Maserati watched Zhang Wei drive a domineering bulletproof flying car into the sky, and then looked at their luxury cars that could only be driven on the ground, and a touch of envy inevitably appeared in their eyes. However, they soon looked forward to it again, because Zhang Wei agreed to their request to buy a car at the dinner.

At this time, Zhang Wei was checking more than a dozen missed calls on his mobile phone, including his parents, Qin Xiaobu and other friends, employees of Future Technology Company, and Mayor Zhu.

Once back in the hotel's presidential suite, he began to call back, and as expected, these people called to congratulate him.

It wasn't until more than half an hour later that he finished all the calls, and although his mouth was a little dry, he was still in a good mood and kept smiling on his face.

After returning the call, Zhang Wei went to the bath~ room to take a shower, then turned on the computer and began to search for news about the "Three Sessions of Science and Technology" and "New York Cyber Terrorist Attack".

Both of these are hot topics and dominate almost all news pages.

Zhang Wei first browsed the news reports related to the "three sessions of science and technology".

"News Network" carried out a five-minute report on the "Three Sessions of Science and Technology", gave an in-depth interpretation of the speech of the No. 1 leader, and also focused on future technology companies, and gave Zhang Wei a five-second long-shot close-up.

In addition, the governor of Yunhai Province and the mayor of Zhongyun City, where Zhongyun City is located, also told the media that it is necessary to thoroughly implement the spirit of the "Three Sessions of Science and Technology" and strive to build a world science and technology power. At the same time, both the governor and the mayor have pledged to vigorously support technological innovation enterprises like Future Technology.

Zhang Wei was not surprised by the speeches of the governor and mayor, he knew very well that domestic politics were responsible for the top, and since the boss had made it clear that he would focus on supporting future technology companies, the people below would definitely do what the boss meant.

Overall, this is a very good thing for him and the future technology company, he believes that after this "science and technology three sessions", no one in China should dare to rashly do something to him and the future technology company, and he will have a long period of time to develop with peace of mind.

Zhang Wei then continued to browse through news reports related to the "New York cyber terrorist attack".

It's been almost a day since this incident, and it can be seen from the news reports that New York City has recovered from the disaster, the financial system, the transportation system has been functioning normally, government agencies and businesses have been working normally, and New York is still the glamorous cosmopolitan city.

However, the impact of this incident continues to ferment.

In particular, many computer experts have published articles claiming that artificial intelligence was involved in this cyber terrorist attack, which directly caused a great discussion of artificial intelligence technology around the world.

And one of the most popular videos was titled "Artificial Intelligence: Hand of God or Pandora's Box?"

Zhang Wei clicked on the video and found that it was a clip from Google founder and CEO Larry Page in an interview with News Corp. TV.

At the beginning of the interview, the moderator said, "Just 14 hours ago, New York City was hit by an unprecedented hacker attack, all connected electronic devices were disabled, and the direct economic losses to our country exceeded $150 billion and the indirect economic losses exceeded $600 billion, which was a painful disaster for us.

According to computer experts, the hacker used artificial intelligence to hack into and take control of hundreds of networked supercomputers and millions of personal computers around the world before launching a cyberattack on New York City.

This also leads us to think, should human beings develop artificial intelligence technology, and is artificial intelligence the hand of God or Pandora's box for human beings?

Now, we're honored to have Larry Page, Founder and CEO of Google, join us for this in-depth conversation.

Let's start with Mr. Larry Page to introduce us to artificial intelligence. ”

"The term artificial intelligence was coined in 1956, and after more than 60 years of development, artificial intelligence has come a long way, with large-scale applications in both industrial and civilian fields, which are closely related to our lives. In general, the purpose of artificial intelligence is to make computers think like humans and better serve humans. In the future, artificial intelligence will become more and more important to human beings, and eventually become an indispensable necessity for human beings, and it will be difficult for human beings to leave artificial intelligence. ”

The moderator then asked, "Can you tell us a little bit about the current state of artificial intelligence?"

"In 1997, IBM's supercomputer Deep Blue defeated Garykasparov, the chess champion of the time, and announced the advent of artificial intelligence. Since then, the development of artificial intelligence has been extremely rapid, and until now, many companies have made breakthroughs in artificial intelligence technology, such as our company's Alphago, Apple's Siri, Microsoft's Cortana, and IBM's Watson.

Before the advent of this hacker who launched a cyberattack on New York, I always thought that IBM's Watson was the best AI, but after the emergence of this mysterious hacker, I was shocked that real AI had been born. Now, this artificial intelligence is almost a 'god' on the Internet, and no one can compete with it. It's a shame that the hacker used AI technology in the wrong place, and he should use AI to serve humanity, not wreak havoc.

In addition, we at Google have already made a major breakthrough in AI technology, and we are confident that we will launch a new AI product within a year. ”

The moderator continued, "The cyber terrorist attacks in New York have shown us the destructive power of artificial intelligence and the harm it can cause to human beings, do you still think we should continue to develop artificial intelligence technology?"

Larry Page said, "In fact, in many film and television literary works, there have been a lot of human reflections on artificial intelligence. Whether it is a pessimistic apocalyptic theory, such as "The Terminator", or a symbiosis theory that humans and robots can eventually reach some kind of balance, such as "Enemy of the Machine" and "Super Chapai", it has become the consensus of almost all "prophets" that machine life will eventually awaken consciousness and survive independently of humans.

Under the influence of these films, television and literary works, many people believe that artificial intelligence will eventually destroy human beings, so they have a passive attitude towards artificial intelligence.

However, in my opinion, any technology is a double-edged sword, and the same is true for artificial intelligence. It can bring us great benefits as well as negative effects. But it is always just a tool, and it is the human beings themselves who use the tools that can decide the fate of mankind.

As for whether we should continue to develop artificial intelligence, my personal view is that artificial intelligence is the trend of the times, and no one can stop the development of technology, and I believe that artificial intelligence will always be controlled by human beings. ”

The moderator went on to ask, "Do you analyze from a technical point of view, is it possible for AI to form self-awareness?"
