Chapter 593: Artificial Intelligence Alliance

……

Speaking of this, Wang Zheng closed his mouth. In fact, there was more to the Prime Minister's exchange with him that day. For example, the impact of the 'Taoyuan artificial intelligence operating system' on military weapons, etc., which involves national security. Therefore, Wang Zheng signed a confidentiality agreement when he left Zhongnanhai, and many things could not be put on the table.

Of course, all of you here are smart people who know what to ask and what not to ask.

After Wang Zheng finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, and Ma Yun spoke again: "Brother Wang, everyone here is an acquaintance. Brother Tuoda asked, how far has the 'artificial intelligence' of the 'Shennong Academy of Sciences' been developed? Is it really like what you said in your speech, it can be put into large-scale application in three years at most?"

Facing everyone's concerned eyes, after a little thought, Wang Zheng shook his head slightly and nodded at the same time.

"In fact, laptops with the first generation of the 'Taoyuan Operating System' have already started to be produced in small quantities!"

"What?"

Everyone was shocked, what about the 'three years' that they said they would have? Isn't this that they don't even have time to react? How can they compete with Shennong Technology in artificial intelligence in the future?

“… In fact, we developed the hardware needed to run the first generation of the 'Taoyuan AI Operating System' on a laptop. However, the wafer fab and packaging fab required for large-scale production are still in the construction stage, and it is expected that it will take about two years to complete at the earliest, and then actually put them into the market. That's why when I gave a speech, I would only say that it would be within three years!" After a pause, Wang Zheng continued with a smile, "At present, the computers produced in small batches are mainly used by the scientific researchers of our Shennong Academy of Sciences and the senior management of major companies. If you want, I can give you one. ”

"Yes, of course. I've wanted to get a feel for real 'artificial intelligence' for a long time. Ren Zhengfei said with a smile.

At this time, everyone also calmed down from this unexpected news, at least on the surface, as for the heart, maybe it was inside.

"Brother, you are really ahead of all of us this time!" Ma Yun couldn't help but sigh.

Next to him, Lei Jun and the others also nodded in agreement.

"I just got lucky... That's right, Brother Rei. I know you guys Xiaomi do a great job of hardware. And we at Shennong Technology do not intend to involve too much content on the hardware of the consumer electronics industry. So, I think our two companies can cooperate with each other, we provide the operating system and the core CPU, and you do the assembly and sales of the whole machine, how about it?"

Artificial intelligence is a huge piece of fat, so huge that neither the state nor the enterprise allows it to be completely in the hands of a private company. So, before AI systems can really begin to roll out on a large scale, Wang Zheng must enlist a group of powerful allies to counter possible state administrative interference. Therefore, it has become an inevitable choice to keep the core and give up a part of the future profits.

"Of course it's fine!"

A smile suddenly appeared on Lei Jun's face. He has always been worried that Wang Zheng and his Shennong Technology will use their powerful software and dominant position in core hardware to enter the consumer electronics market, and then compete with Xiaomi. Now, it seems, he can breathe a sigh of relief.

"Wang Zheng, we at Huawei also want to cooperate with you, and we are also making hardware!" Ren Zhengfei hurriedly said. In the past few days, he has been running to Wang Zheng every day, just because he doesn't want Huawei to fall behind in this artificial intelligence revolution.

"And we're Lenovo too! We're the best at making computers!"

Taking advantage of Ma Yun's relationship, Liu Chuanzhi, who became friends with Wang Zheng, hurriedly said.

They are all made of hardware, and 'artificial intelligence' is related to the future success or failure of their respective enterprises, and no one will be sloppy.

"Huawei, Xiaomi and Lenovo are the top software and hardware giants in China, and we at Shennong Technology will treat them equally. Wang Zheng hurriedly said.

Although his Shennong Technology occupies the commanding heights in scientific and technological research and development, Huawei and other three companies have a strong force behind them, and with the help of their brands and channels, it is more conducive to the rapid development of Shennong Technology.

"I think that in the future, everyone's competition will be more in the application software based on the 'Taoyuan operating system', as well as the competition in products and services!" Ma Yun said with a smile.

Here, he and Ma Huateng can be said to be the most relaxed. Whether it's Ali or Tencent, their core lies in service. Whether it's e-commerce or social networking, AI won't shake their dominance in the industry anytime soon. But there should be the necessary vigilance. After all, enterprises that can't keep up with the times will eventually be eliminated.

"It seems that in the future, we at Baidu will only be able to do research and development in application software in terms of artificial intelligence!" Li Yanhong smiled bitterly. These days, Baidu's share price has fallen sharply because of the loss of its leading role in artificial intelligence. The position of the three giants of BTA has begun to give way to the rapidly rising 'Shennong Technology'!

"I think we can form a coalition in terms of 'artificial intelligence'. After all, the old C language and computer algorithms are now outdated. We need a new standard that everyone can abide by and progress together!" Ma Hua Teng proposed.

"That's exactly what I'm trying to say. In terms of 'artificial intelligence', now that we are ahead of the rest of the world, we should fix this advantage as soon as possible. Lei Jun also agreed.

"It depends on what Wang Zheng means!"

With Ren Zhengfei's words, everyone's eyes once again focused on the young man sitting among everyone.

And Wang Zheng, who realized that he was being watched, nodded without hesitation. The 'H' language, as well as the new algorithms of artificial intelligence, are all materials he got from the Shennong system, and he didn't spend too much research funds and energy, so he didn't feel very distressed to take them out now.

"I've been thinking about it for the past few days. Even when I met with the Prime Minister, I had specific exchanges. I think that in addition to standards, we should also co-establish a university. He focuses on teaching and research in 'Artificial Intelligence', 'Internet of Things', 'Biotechnology', 'New Energy' and 'New Materials'. Combining the strengths of each of our companies, we have truly established a world-class research university that provides our companies with high-level talent in scientific research. ”

After everyone looked at each other, everyone nodded at the same time. This requirement was much simpler than what they had in mind.

"I agree!"

"No problem!"

……

On March 18, 2016, when the world was arguing over Wang Zheng's speech, as well as the announced 'artificial intelligence' and 'life medicine'. Shennong Technology, Huawei, Lenovo, Alibaba, Tencent, Xiaomi, Baidu, seven of China's top technology companies, announced the establishment of the 'Chinese Artificial Intelligence Alliance' in Beijing to jointly promote a new generation of artificial intelligence standards based on Shennong Technology's research and innovation.

Immediately following the establishment of this alliance, the seven major companies jointly announced that they will jointly build a new university to cultivate software and hardware talents with 'artificial intelligence' R&D and programming capabilities.

This time, the national response was also exceptionally swift, and in just three days, the Ministry of Education approved the establishment of the new university. At the same time, the 'Artificial Intelligence Alliance' gave a positive evaluation to promote the new standards of artificial intelligence.

A week later, the construction of a university named 'Shennong Academy' began in Wang Zheng's hometown, Liuba County, Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province. At the same time, 100 kilometers away in Hanzhong City, a science and technology park under construction on the edge of the Han River has become the headquarters of the 'Chinese Artificial Intelligence Alliance'.

The reason why they will abandon Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and second-tier developed cities along the coast, and put a university closely related to science and technology in a poor ravine. Even the headquarters of the 'Artificial Intelligence Alliance' is located in a fourth-tier city in a technology desert. Of course, it's because of Wang Zheng's strong advocate.

It's not that he has any prejudice against big cities. Rather, he has always believed that science and engineering universities should remain focused on teaching. The glitz and gloria of big cities has led too many immature and weak-willed students astray. Too much time is wasted on things that are not related to schooling, and the result is the tragedy of being unemployed after graduation.

Moreover, the teaching of artificial intelligence is mainly the responsibility of the scientific researchers of the 'Shennong Academy of Sciences'. The Shennong Academy of Sciences is located in Liuba County, and the university should also be located here. Of course, Wang Zheng still has a little selfishness.

Before your father retires, try to get him some political achievements. Let him be able to realize his ideals to the greatest extent on the road of politics.

Compared with Wang Zhengding's selfishness and stubbornness in the selection of school sites. The establishment of the 'Chinese Artificial Intelligence Alliance' is a major event that truly affects the world.

Scientific and technological research and development has always been a major indicator of a country's comprehensive strength. At a time when China's economy is developing rapidly, China's science and technology are also making rapid progress, which naturally arouses the attention and controversy of the world.

Although China's scientific and technological progress is only a breakthrough in a single aspect, it is far from being able to surpass the United States, as the world leader. However, this rapid momentum of climbing the technology tree, as well as the trend of rapid rise, has aroused more and more international attention and sensation. Especially the attention of the American tech community, and of course strong concerns.

In addition, as the U.S. economy has not been able to achieve satisfactory economic development, this concern has also spread to the economy. Coupled with the scandal of exposing each other's secrets in the political circles before the US election, more and more enlightened people in the United States have begun to criticize the US government. There are also more and more people who advocate that the United States and the world should learn something from China's rapid development.
