"Mr. Chen Mo, do you think it's a bit too early to talk about the future city?" Standing up and asking questions is a Western elite, who looks like the management of a certain company.

After Chen Mo's speech, the people in the audience below began to be uncalm. For many people, the smart city described by Chen Mo is still a long way off.

"Not early, to give you a concept of time, in the next five years, if there are no accidents, Binhai City will be built into the prototype of a smart city."

Chen Mo shook his head in denial and spoke.

"The unified platform of artificial intelligence has emerged, and our company's 'artificial intelligence +' platform is to create an intelligent core. City brain, artificial intelligence + transportation, artificial intelligence + buildings, artificial intelligence + electrical appliances, artificial intelligence + office, artificial intelligence + life, etc., these are no longer movies.

Our company headquarters, as well as staff dormitories, have realized the concept of 'artificial intelligence +', which is being promoted to Binhai City and even the entire city of China.

According to our statistics, after the launch of the smart transportation project in Binhai City, the average waiting time of citizens at the traffic light on the sidewalk has dropped by 15 seconds compared with the past, which is a terrifying number in a city of millions of people.

The traffic congestion rate in Binhai City has dropped by more than 70% compared with the same period in previous years. Even during peak commuting hours, there are no massive traffic jams. Urban road infrastructure is best utilized by the analysis of big data and artificial intelligence. Next, as long as driverless transportation is popularized, the basic prototype of smart cities will be formed, and this day will not be too far away. ”

Chen Mo's words caused a commotion below.

Looking at the raised hands of everyone, Chen Mo nodded to stand up again.

"Mr. Chen Mo, we all know that Gates, Musk and other bigwigs and many experts are worried that artificial intelligence will bring a crisis to mankind. Why are you so sure that AI will not pose a crisis to humanity? Build smart cities without worrying that artificial intelligence will control and destroy humans? ”

"Why am I more sure than they are? Because I'm more professional than them. Let's be crazy, the current artificial intelligence of the marching ant company is the most advanced, and I am the person who knows artificial intelligence best. ”

Chen Mo replied, this question was not the first time he had heard it.

"Artificial intelligence is causing a crisis for humanity? There is a possibility, but the probability is a pitiful smile. There are countless things that will destroy humanity, such as a special mutated infectious disease, a large meteorite hitting the earth, a nuclear war, a sudden change in the climate of the earth itself, radiation from the universe, or the sudden appearance of a three-body alien, etc.

There is a probability that artificial intelligence will destroy humanity, but according to statistical calculations, this probability is about the same as tomorrow is the end of the world. You have to be clear that it is impossible for mankind to hand over nuclear warheads to the control of artificial intelligence, and science fiction movies are all lies.

Whether it will bring a crisis to humanity or not is up to human beings. Strictly speaking, AI is just a tool created by humans, a tool that makes humans powerful.

In the barbaric era, the ancestors created tools to defeat nature and survive and evolve, and created swords and guns to fight and slaughter, did swords and guns destroy human beings? No, these tools just make humans stronger. What destroys humanity is humanity's own desires and madness, and has nothing to do with tools, even if they are advanced tools.

The first time human beings are to find the cause and repair the damaged tool, and it is impossible to let it go out of control freely. Will humans scrap all cars because they occasionally lose control and kill people? Impossible.

The kind of artificial intelligence in the movie is completely out of control, creating robots to kill humans, and the probability is about the same as all nuclear bombs suddenly exploding together.

Future universe development, interstellar exploration, and artificial intelligence are the best tools. If human beings want to be stronger, they can't detect the infinite starry sky with their weak bodies and limited strength. Artificial intelligence is an inevitable megatrend. It's more practical to worry that AI will destroy humanity than to worry about whether AI will take your place tomorrow. ”

There was a round of applause below. Chen Mo's metaphors are just right, irrefutable, and very convincing.

Soon, another figure stood up, and after taking the microphone, the person who stood up spoke.

"Mr. Chen Mo, as far as I know, you are the first to win the Nobel Prize in Physics. Why do you have so few Nobel Prizes in natural sciences in your country? Does this mean that your country's education is very backward? Technology is backward? The one who spoke, with a mocking taunt in his voice.

Jumping to this question suddenly, Chen Mo was slightly stunned, and did not take the other party's mocking tone to heart at all.

"Actually, this is also the question I want to ask, dare to ask everyone here, why does our country win so few Nobel Prizes? Are we lagging behind in education? Is our country technologically underdeveloped? ”

Chen Mo shook his head directly.

"If China's education is lagging behind, then why has China's scientific and technological achievements and economic achievements been among the best in the world in just over 40 years of opening up? Or even some tech areas that are taking the lead? Is this an achievement that can be achieved by backward education? Those who say that China's education is backward do not understand China, but are just frogs at the bottom of the well. ”

Chen Mo's words were transmitted throughout the venue through simultaneous translation. Hearing the sarcasm in the answer, the person who stood up to ask the question turned red, and felt that the eyes around him were all sneering, as if they were looking at the clown.

Ignoring his reaction, Chen Mo continued to speak.

"As for why China has won fewer Nobel Prizes? Have you thought about why? ”

Chen Mo paused, and everyone on the field fell silent, thinking about Chen Mo's words and thinking about the reason.

"First of all, the big tree of science and technology of natural science, with education and economics as the backbone, and all achievements are branches and branches, as well as leaves and flowers. The Nobel Prize is just a better and sweeter fruit inadvertently lent out from the science and technology tree. Will you deny all the fruits of this tree because of the few good fruits you have? ”

As soon as Chen Mo's voice fell, many people on the field nodded and applauded.

The Nobel Prize is only one of the many scientific achievements, and it does not represent the whole story. They recognize the Nobel Prize, but they also know that the Nobel Prize does not represent the overall level of a country.

Sweden, Switzerland and other countries have won more Nobel Prizes in natural sciences than Russia, let alone China. But does this mean that these countries are more advanced in science and technology than these two countries? It's simply impossible.

And some of the things in the Nobel Prize, Chen Mo is not easy to break.

In the 40 years after the October Revolution in Russia, and during the more than 10 years when the United States and the Soviet Union were vying for hegemony, the Soviet Union's Nobel Prize in natural sciences was all blank. Especially during the Cold War, the Soviet Union's scientific and technological strength once surpassed that of the United States, and a steady stream of new technologies were discovered, but none of the Nobel Prizes were awarded, and the United States won many awards during the same period.

These are very clear pieces of evidence.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia's relations with all parties improved, and it won awards in a blowout, and these manifestations were even more obvious.

It is said that science and technology have no borders, but scientists have nationality, and it is impossible to achieve technology without borders.

There are no Chinese scientists on the Nobel Prize committee, so why are there few Chinese natural science awards? If you don't talk about technology, you don't even have a person to recommend and speak for, how can you win an award? The West's prejudice against China is not a day or two.

In the eyes of many, the Nobel Prize is not fair, but a politically influenced award.

Chen Mo will not say these offensive remarks publicly on this kind of stage, just keep them in his heart.

"The second reason is that the research and development of modern cutting-edge technology is no longer the era of individual heroes in the past. The Nobel Prize can only be shared by a limited number of two or three people. As far as I know, the R&D in the field of top technology in China is mainly based on the team. A top team can have as few as five or six people or as many as hundreds.

The credit for the team's research and development results is attributed to two or three people, which is not realistic.

Taking insulin as an example, when Huaxia synthesized insulin, Huaxia did not apply for the Nobel Prize because the number of R&D team exceeded the upper limit of the Nobel Prize. It is unacceptable to attribute the results of the collective to a few.

Nowadays, one or two people have developed advanced technologies that lead the world's science and technology, and very few of them, especially in the context of our emphasis on teamwork in Huaxia. I am an exception, and I can't use my personal situation to measure the background of our mainstream in China, let alone deny the education system in China because there are few Nobel Prizes, which is very ignorant. ”

There is another reason, Chen Mo did not say.

The top technology in China, unless there are some irrelevant basic theories and other core technologies, are not allowed to be written as papers for publication, because of the fear of technology leakage.

The matter of paper leakage technology is not new.

Most of the top teams in China are R&D teams in the official system, and they will not publish the top technical papers in order to win a Nobel Prize.

At this moment, everyone was silent, and many scholars nodded in agreement.

Because they all know that the Nobel Prize does not represent the highest technological level in the world, but only relatively advanced and practical technology.

The world's top technical fields, such as nuclear fusion, quantum technology, artificial intelligence, satellites, lasers, etc., are all developed by teamwork. And those world's most advanced technological achievements rarely appear on the stage of the Nobel Prize.

Even the epoch-making theory of relativity did not win the Nobel Prize that year. Stephen Hawking is known as a generation of giants, but until he left, there was not a single Nobel Prize.
