Chapter 235: IBM's "Conspiracy"
None of the reporters expected that the Borderless AI Artificial Intelligence Lab would not only develop artificial intelligence software, but also challenge Garry Kasparov, the world champion of chess.
The audience was in an uproar!
The reporters were so excited that they frantically took pictures of Yu Chengtian.
"It's big news, and the whole world will make a splash!!"
"For the first time in human history, the strongest brain has faced off against artificial intelligence, which is really exciting!!"
"Wujiang Group is going to be on fire again, this is too awesome!!"
"The eyes of the world will be on this challenge of humans and artificial intelligence!!"
“……”
At this time, reporters loudly launched interviews with Yu Chengtian.
"Mr. Yu, do you have any confidence in the 'Suiren' artificial intelligence challenge Garry Kasparov?"
"Mr. Yu, will the development of artificial intelligence by Wujiang Group eventually become the villain 'Skynet' in the movie "Terminator", which will pose a threat to mankind?"
"Mr. Yu, what do you think of the 'Three Laws of Robots'?"
“……”
The reporters asked relentlessly.
Yu Chengtian smiled and only picked two or three questions to answer.
"The Suiren's artificial intelligence is very powerful, storing the chess scores of all chess masters since ancient and modern times, and after a long period of intelligent learning and simulated battles, today's Suiren's can completely defeat the world's top chess professional masters, so I am full of confidence in the Suiren's artificial intelligence to challenge the world champion Garry Kasparov!!"
"As for whether artificial intelligence will become the villain of the movie "Terminator" "Skynet", I don't think so, at least for now, artificial intelligence is just a program software in the final analysis, it has no consciousness of its own, but just executes commands according to the instructions of the program!"
"Alright, that's the end of today's press conference, goodbye everyone!!"
Yu Chengtian waved his hand at everyone, and quickly walked off the stage.
The reporters also wanted to know more, but they knew that Cheng Tian walked too fast and soon disappeared in the eyes of everyone.
Everyone is a little sorry, but the news just announced at the press conference is enough to cause a sensation in the world.
Reporters hurried back to the company to write articles, striving to release the news as soon as possible.
The Borderless Portal published news directly on the homepage of the website just after the press conference.
The headline reads: "Shocking!! For the first time in history, AI AI challenged the world's most powerful brain, chess world champion Garry Kasparov!! ”
And there are also IE browser pop-up ads.
Promote the news almost all over the web.
Good guys, as soon as I saw the title, countless netizens were attracted to it.
When I read the text, I felt that there was one word, Wujiang Group was awesome!
Then there was a lot of anticipation.
"Wujiang Group is amazing, even artificial intelligence software has been developed, and one day if it develops a T800 robot similar to Arnold Schwarzenegger in "The Terminator", I will not be the slightest surprised!"
", beg the Borderless Group not to develop artificial intelligence, otherwise sooner or later, it will suffer from it. When artificial intelligence has its own intelligence, it will definitely not be willing to be controlled by humans and eventually develop into Skynet!! ”
"Chess world champion Garry Kasparov is definitely not the opponent of artificial intelligence, the computing power of the human brain is only how much, how can it be compared with the computing power of the computer, this challenge, there is a high probability that the artificial intelligence Suiren will win!"
"I also think that the AI of the Borderless Group has a better chance of winning. Obviously, since Wujiang Group dares to take on the challenge, it fully shows that Wujiang Group is very sure and confident. Otherwise, if AI loses, wouldn't it be a shame for the Borderless Group? ”
"Upstairs makes sense! Wujiang Group never fights uncertain battles! ”
“……”
Of course, there are many people who feel that artificial intelligence cannot win against Garry Kasparov, the world champion of chess.
Garry Kasparov almost represents the strongest brain in the field of chess, and artificial intelligence is just emerging, it may be powerful in the future, but it may not be very powerful now!
IBM Inc. in the United States.
At this time, the company's executives were a little confused and remorseful.
IBM's Deep Blue computer was successfully developed, and it happened that there was also a plan to challenge the chess world champion Garry Kasparov, but it was preempted by the Borderless Group.
Now the limelight has been taken up by the Borderless Group.
The world is talking about Borderless Group's artificial intelligence 'Suiren' challenging chess world champion Garry Kasparov.
The CEO of IBM looked at the other executives with a straight face, and then asked, "Our IBM plan collided with the plan of the Borderless Group, what should we do now?" ”
Everyone pondered, and then a vice president spoke: "Our IBM company has obviously lost its first-mover advantage, and if we still implement the original plan, then we will be ridiculed by the media for being a good follower." ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod.
The vice president continued: "Actually, the reason why we advertised Deep Blue Computer to challenge Garry Kasparov was just to prove the power of IBM computers. Right now, since the Borderless Group has preemptively announced the challenge to Garry Kasparov, then we will announce the challenge to the Borderless Group's artificial intelligence! ”
"If the Flint AI defeats Garry Kasparov, and our Deep Blue defeats the Flim, it will prove the power of our IBM computers!!"
"If the Flint AI loses to Garry Kasparov, and our Deep Blue defeats the Flim, then people will be curious and look forward to whether IBM Deep Blue Computer can beat Gary Kasparov and attract the attention of the world!!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but echo it.
IBM's late strike can also attract the attention of the world and build momentum and fame for IBM.
The CEO of IBM was overjoyed and decided: "Okay, just follow this plan!" ”
The vice president smiled: "I don't think we need to rush to announce this plan, but wait until the day before the AI of the Borderless Group is about to challenge Garry Kasparov to announce the news, so as to catch the other party off guard!" ”
"Good !!"
……
……
At this time, Garry Kasparov received a call from the Borderless AI Artificial Intelligence Lab and launched an invitation to challenge, and he couldn't help but be surprised and considered whether to accept the invitation.
To be honest, he was quite surprised, but he was still very interested in this peak showdown between artificial intelligence and himself.
He also wondered if the artificial intelligence developed by the Borderless Group could overcome him.
Garry Kasparov then logged on to the borderless portal, saw the news on the homepage that artificial intelligence challenged him, and then read the comments of netizens.
Obviously, everyone is looking forward to this matchup.
If I don't fight, I'm afraid I will disappoint countless netizens.
It didn't take long for Garry Kasparov to receive calls from his friends asking him about competing against artificial intelligence.
Everyone also encouraged him to agree to the competition, believing that he had a good chance of winning.
Besides, there is not much loss if you lose, but if you don't even have the courage to fight, you will definitely be scolded by many people.
Garry Kasparov also had this in mind.
Therefore, near the evening, he called back to the Borderless AI Artificial Intelligence Lab, saying that he agreed to compete with artificial intelligence.
The two sides agreed to compete at noon on May 1, 1994, and there are still about 10 days of preparation time before now.
……
It was 8 o'clock that night.
The Borderless portal has been updated with a news release announcing that Garry Kasparov has agreed to compete with artificial intelligence, and the two sides have agreed to compete at 12 noon on May 1, 1994.
In Macau, Las Vegas, Monaco, Lisbon, the capital of Portugal and other places, gambling bigwigs have opened handicaps, wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to make a big profit, and even directly gambling openly on the Internet.
For a while, many netizens bet one after another.
One day later, the total bets worldwide exceeded $1.5 billion!
The casino tycoons were stunned that the AI challenge for the world championship was a carnival in the betting world, so they couldn't help but invest money to increase publicity and frantically advertise the betting platform online.
The bookmakers, actuaries, and actuaries of the betting platform carefully calculate the markets and odds, and combine them with fraud, and no matter how you place your bets, the site will ultimately make a profit.
In the following days, more and more people participated in betting, and the popularity was no less than that of gambling.
By the day before the tournament, the total bet exceeded $23.9 billion, which shows how many people around the world are involved in gambling.
Zhao Ye didn't expect that this showdown between artificial intelligence and the strongest human brain would become a national entertainment and gambling activity.
"Haha, I bought 100 yuan and bet on the artificial intelligence of the Wujiang Group."
"I bought Garry Kasparov to win, I watched Garry Kasparov's game, super tough, unbeatable, a legendary grandmaster in chess, how could an artificial intelligence be his opponent!!"
“……”
In the BBS forum, netizens are talking more and more about the artificial intelligence vs. chess world champion, and the heat is super high!
Major TV stations around the world have sent people to contact Wujiang Group, wanting to broadcast this "war of the century!!
According to their analysis, this war of the century may be watched by at least hundreds of millions of people.
In fact, in Chinese mainland, the people are very excited, the whole country is proud, everyone is looking forward to this big war, people are ready, tomorrow at 12 o'clock in front of the TV, watch this unprecedented man-machine war!
The domestic government also attaches great importance to this war of the century, which reflects China's top scientific and technological level and is an opportunity for China to make a name for itself in front of the world!
Abroad, many people who study in Europe and the United States but are unwilling to return to China are extremely awkward.
Some people are even a little twisted in their hearts, unwilling to see the AI of the Borderless Group defeat Garry Kasparov, which can prove that their choice to stay in Europe and the United States is correct.
On the betting platform, they went on a betting spree and bought Gary Kasparov to win.
……
Just when the eyes of the world are on the match between Garry Kasparov and the AI of the Borderless Group.
IBM suddenly held a grand press conference at this time!
Reporters from major media are very surprised, IBM is holding a press conference at this time, what else can be hot?
The reporters secretly shook their heads and expressed their incomprehension.
However, I never thought that IBM would actually amplify its ......
"The hottest thing at the moment, and the thing that has attracted the attention of the whole people, is naturally the duel between the artificial intelligence flint of the Borderless Group and the world chess champion Garry Kasparov. In fact, IBM has a similar plan, and the Deep Blue computer we developed originally wanted to challenge Gary Kasparov, but unfortunately let the Borderless Group take the lead......"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.
Without waiting for the reporters to speak, IBM's spokesman smiled and said: "The duel between artificial intelligence and the strongest human brain, you will see it tomorrow, so, I don't know if you are interested in watching the artificial intelligence of the Wujiang Group against the artificial intelligence of IBM?!" ”
After speaking, the reporters' eyes lit up instantly!
It's not just interested, it's just too interested!!
The press conference erupted in fierce applause for a while!
Melon-eating reporters like to see things like this.
……
Wujiang Group was the first to learn of the news of IBM's press conference.
Zhao Ye was stunned for a long time, is this IBM company looking for death?
Can the dark blue computer be compared to the Suiren?
The Deep Blue computer is nothing more than a supercomputer with an artificial intelligence software that can play chess.
And what about the 'Suiren Clan'?
The body is a Pangu supercomputer, not to mention that the Pangu supercomputer is stronger than the IBM Deep Blue computer, the most important point is that there is a huge data center behind the 'Suiren' to provide computing power for it.
The IBM Deep Blue computer is completely incomparable.
Zhao Ye thinks that the battle between the 'Suiren Clan' and the Deep Blue Computer is almost no suspense, and it is just a matter of abusing vegetables.
IBM is self-confident and has been the overlord of computers for so many years, and is confident that in the field of supercomputers, Wujiang Group is not IBM's opponent.
But apparently hit the muzzle of the gun.
"Aojun, you notify Fu Xiaoyue and immediately hold a press conference to announce that our 'Suiren Clan' of Wujiang Group accepts the challenge of IBM's Deep Blue Computer!" Zhao Ye looked at Li Aojun and said.
"Okay."
Li Aojun nodded, picked up his mobile phone, and immediately contacted Fu Xiaoyue.
……
But it is said that with IBM's declaration of war, there is a lot of excitement on the Internet.
Wujiang Group announced its response to the war as soon as possible, which made the whole network boil!!
At this moment, everyone is discussing who is more powerful between the 'Suiren Clan' of Wujiang Group and IBM Deep Blue Computer.
Everyone has their own opinions, but they are all full of expectations for this AI vs. AI match.
The major media outlets were even more excited, and it was a global media carnival, with newspaper sales soaring and TV news ratings skyrocketing.
For bookmakers, it's even more of a surprise.
You can make a lot of money again!
New handicaps have been opened, and bettors are in an endless stream.
……
The next morning, the global media gathered at the headquarters of Shanghai Wujiang Group, and the battle between Wujiang Group's artificial intelligence 'Suiren' and chess world champion Garry Kasparov kicked off.
