However, the development of events deviated far from Wang Yinan's imagination, and as time went by, the storm not only showed no signs of stopping, but spread rapidly from abroad to China.

After all, this is not quite the same as the controversy caused by the cloning of Dolly the sheep back then, the cloning of animals itself does not bring any ethical and moral controversy, as long as the cloning technology is not applied to people, then there are no taboos.

The fear is more that the mad scientists are starting to clone people.

But this storm is completely different, and humans have an instinctive fear of the unknown, and this paper fundamentally deepens this fear, because it proves that artificial intelligence based on neural networks is inherently incapable of being described by axiomatic logic and formal systems.

Coupled with the media fueling the flames, irresponsible experts, and sensational statements made by people who seem to understand what they don't understand, the fear of ordinary people is further amplified.

The opposition to artificial intelligence has developed into a movement that has swept the entire blue star, and people have begun to miss axioms and logic, although before that, it is estimated that few people could really understand what axiomatic logic is.

It turns out that artificial intelligence is not the worst, the worst is artificial intelligence that cannot be understood and described.

The storm has grown to such an extent that the entire scientific community has been divided into two factions, one of which believes that it is indeed necessary to control the use of neural networks and strictly regulate the scope of their applications, which, of course, is not feasible for even a dime as anyone with a discerning eye.

The other faction, like Wang Yinan, doesn't think it's a big deal, and it's not the first time that human beings have recognized their own limitations.

More scientists have not indicated their attitude, they are still cautiously watching and thinking.

Even in China, the arguments against artificial intelligence have begun to have a big market, especially some enthusiastic public welfare people, who regard the opposition to artificial intelligence as something similar to the fight for animal rights, as their sacred mission, so all kinds of bizarre arguments emerge in an endless stream on the neck.

Until this afternoon, Wang Yinan had just finished a lecture on new semiconductor refrigeration materials at Imperial Capital University, focusing on how to use semiconductor refrigeration materials for multi-layer cooling to obtain a stable dry ice temperature in the temperature zone, after answering a few students' questions, a fanatical Greenpeace member rushed to Wang Yinan, this beauty from Europa painted all her hair green, took off her blouse, and wrote a huge "No AI" on her chest, Then he caught Wang Yinan and began to spray wildly in the language of a small European country.

Of course, the brave lady was soon invited to tea by the authorities. However, Wang Yinan knows that as long as this kind of thing has a beginning, there must be no shortage of followers, and involuntarily, Wang Yinan was pushed to the forefront again, and he obviously can't stay out of it.

In the afternoon of the same day, Imperial Capital University issued a public notice that Wang Yinan would hold a small press conference the next afternoon to express his views on the paper and answer questions from reporters.

Half a year ago, it was here that Wang Yinan and Li Wenjing published their latest theories on superconductivity, which aroused the attention of the entire Blue Star, and today, half a year later, it has once again become the focus of attention of the entire Blue Star.

"First of all, I want to make it clear once again that the author of this article is not me", Wang Yinan said straight to the point.

"As you can see, the author of this paper is Mr. Grothendieck, with whom I had the pleasure of spending some time in Europa in the summer, and to compile his manuscript and some of the ideas that followed the communication and exchange into a final paper",

"In the process of writing this paper, we also received great help from Professor Li Wenjing, Mr. Qiu and Professor Tao," said Wang Yinan.

"Although Mr. Grothendieck had left the world of mathematics and did not wish to disturb himself, since he had given me full authority to deal with the results, I decided to put the paper together and publish it after a long thought".

"Because I feel that our civilization has enough wisdom and courage to face the truth."

Wang Yinan first briefly introduced the causes and consequences of the publication of the paper, the host of this reception was President Lin of Imperial Capital University, although he continued to appear in the media, which greatly enhanced the popularity of Imperial Capital University, but every time there was such a big battle, so that he also had a full understanding of Wang Yinan's ability to make things bigger.

After Wang Yinan finished speaking, President Lin knocked on the microphone and said directly to the crowded conference hall, "Now please ask questions."

Immediately, reporters from various news agencies of Blue Star shouted loudly like crazy and raised their hands, "Professor Wang, I have a question!" "Can you please answer my question first", "Excuse me... ”，

President Lin waited for a long time until his voice was a little quieter, and then he picked up the microphone and said, "Don't ask questions first, please raise your hands first, and the people I ordered will ask questions, otherwise the meeting will not go on", he motioned to the staff to wait under the stage with a portable microphone.

Almost all the reporters raised their hands, and Principal Lin then ordered a female reporter who looked quite kind, presumably the female reporter would ask a gentler question.

He was wrong, "I'm Jessica from BNN", as soon as these words came out, Principal Lin knew that it was going to be bad,

"Professor Wang, we all know that Mr. Grothendieck has been in seclusion for many years, and no one can find him, and, if I am not mistaken, Mr. Grothendieck is nearly ninety years old, so, Professor Wang, is this article really the work of Grothendieck, or..." ，

The reporter came up and asked a very sharp question, but Wang Yinan welcomes such a question, it is topical, and it can also divert the public's attention, "Well, I will give BNN more opportunities in the future, it's very interesting", Wang Yinan thought,

"First of all, I would like to say that some people's genius has nothing to do with age, and I can assure you that this is the idea of Mr. Grothendieck", said Wang Yinan.

"Of course, he gave me carte blanche to deal with these thoughts, so it is my intention to publish them, and I hope you will not go to great lengths to find out the whereabouts of the gentleman."

"Next", seeing that the first question was in danger, Principal Lin hurriedly picked the next one.

This time, President Lin chose a Chinese reporter, "I am a reporter from the imperial capital, some people say that this paper shows that machines are smarter than people, may I ask Professor Wang, is this the case?" It should be said that this question is what many people want to ask, and the audience immediately quieted a lot.

"In a sense, that's the case", Wang Yinan's answer caused an uproar in the audience,

"To be precise, this paper reveals the limitations of human knowledge based on language, axiomatic logic, and formal systems, and I will give you an example of Go to make you understand",

"As we all know, machines have far surpassed humans in the field of Go, and the significance of this paper is that it proves that what happens in the field of Go is not an isolated case," said Wang Yinan.

"Human beings learn Go by establishing a formal system, through a variety of chess tricks, chess theories, including formulas, value judgments and a series of logical means to establish their own Go wisdom",

"However, this paper proves that the neural network itself formed by AlphaGo Zero's self-training is closer to the truth of Go, and the Go wisdom that humans have built up through their own mathematical and logical weapons is destined to fail to reach the level of AlphaGo Zero."

Wang Yinan smiled, "Actually, what's the fuss about, when AlphaGo defeated Lee Sedol, we should all know that machines are indeed smarter than people."

Principal Lin thinks that Wang Yinan is very powerful, it seems that he was a little too worried before, so he randomly selected a reporter,

"I'm XXX from Penguin News, Greenpeace believes that artificial intelligence will lead humanity to disaster, what does Professor Wang think?" ，

"It can only be human beings themselves who bring mankind to disaster, I have nothing to say", Wang Yinan will not be stupid to answer this kind of trap question,

The reporter was obviously not so easy to dismiss, "Don't you think it's too dangerous for artificial intelligence that can't be described by axiomatic logic and formal systems, or artificial intelligence that can't be understood by humans?" ”，

This should be the pain point that has caused public panic at present, the media and the so-called self-media people are also making a big fuss about this point, Wang Yinan took a deep breath, and there was silence in the conference room,

"I think we humans are a little too self-righteous," Mr. Wang said, and there was a buzz in the conference room.

"I would like to ask this reporter, how many years has the universe been formed?" ，

This question is obviously beyond the scope of XXX's ability, and someone in the audience helped him answer, "About 13 billion years",

Wang Yinan nodded, "What about the age of the solar system and the age of the earth?" ”，

"All formed around 4.6 billion years", after all, it is the Imperial Capital University, and there is still no shortage of scholars.

"Thirty-five billion years ago, microorganisms appeared, 200 million years ago, mammals appeared, four million years ago, ape-man began to appear, and then 100,000 years ago, in the real sense, human beings with language appeared," Wang Yinan continued.

"Then almost 5,000 years ago, mankind began to have writing, and civilization began to accelerate since it had a method of inheritance",

"And it wasn't until Descartes said I think, therefore I am, that we learned to think mathematically and logically",

"As for the formal system, there is also a complete axiomatic logical theory, and it is a matter of less than a hundred years",

"What humanity needs more is humility",

"In fact, we are just the works of nature, in the long course of billions of years, or even tens of billions of years, things have been running in an orderly manner according to their own laws and logic, only in the last less than a hundred years, we can try to understand nature, is it that in the long years before, nature did not exist, it was destroyed?" ，

"All we have to do is abandon the narrow concept of intelligence, and who says that only axiomatic logic and formal systems are intelligent?" ，

"Our human brain is inherently composed of neural networks, and intuition and inspiration are inherently part of human intelligence",

"As for where AI will take civilization that humans can't understand," Wang Yinan said.

"Relatively speaking, I think that the danger of madness and paranoia in human beings is far greater than that of a more single-target neural network."

"For such concerns, I have one question",

"Tell me, when will human reason, or so-called universal values, political correctness, really determine the direction of human civilization?"
