Hammer of Technology

"I personally hope to serve all enterprises in the world, but there are requirements to access our platform, such as access to laboratories and industrial standard platforms, first of all, you need to accept the standards set by the platform, and at the same time, you need to provide services for free. The platform provides laboratory or industrial data required by various platforms it owns. We will announce the specific management plan and rules of the platform to the whole society after the official launch of the platform construction project in the future. At the same time, we also take this opportunity to welcome the support of this project Anyone who is interested can join us."

"Okay, okay, please be quiet, everyone, especially the gentlemen in the front row, please be quiet, please maintain your demeanor, thank you, I have a few last words to announce, after I finish speaking, everyone will find another time Are you communicating well?"

Yes, when Ning Wei announced the preparation of the three major smart platforms, the representatives of a large number of high-tech companies who were invited couldn’t sit still, and many of them even raised their hands high and wanted to ask questions. Of course Ning Wei didn't get used to these guys, and directly opened his mouth to suppress the sound waves that had just rolled up.

"Thank you everyone. The last thing I want to say is that in the next year, I will personally invest one billion yuan to establish the March Artificial Intelligence Foundation, and simultaneously set up the March Intelligence Award. The scientist with the most contribution in the field of intelligence has mathematics awards, physics awards, and computer awards, and the annual individual prize is 300 million yuan."

"At the same time, the Foundation is simultaneously preparing and launching the journal "March Artificial Intelligence Development". The first editor-in-chief is tentatively scheduled to be the deity of March, and we will start collecting relevant papers from all over the world in three months at the latest. We will announce the relevant information to the world after the publication.”

"In particular, please note that at the beginning of the publication, all the first authors of high-quality papers included in this journal will have the option to join us. In other words, if scholars in related fields want to join the largest and representative journal in human history With the preparation, research and development, and operation management of the artificial intelligence platform with the highest level of human technology at present, and the close contact with the strongest artificial intelligence in human history, then choosing to deliver a professional and high-quality paper to it will be the most Simple and cost-effective option.”

"Okay, today's exhibition is over, thank you for participating. Because the time of this exhibition is relatively short, I did not prepare Chinese food and small gifts for all guests, and I would like to apologize to everyone again."

After finishing speaking, Ning Wei turned around quickly and walked towards the backstage.The elevator on the stage also started simultaneously, and the display cabinet with the laptop began to slowly fall down.

Countless reporters in the audience were stunned this time.This is the end?

Really, whether there are small gifts, whether to arrange lunch, these are not very important, but to invite them warmly, there must be a question and answer session, right?Can't it be said that you left so silently after breaking so much news at the exhibition?

Of course, these reporters never knew that it was Tian Yanzhen's decision not to arrange a question session.There is no other reason, he is afraid!He is too clear about the virtues of his own students now.If you don't make a sound, you can make a hole in the sky barrel, and let these reporters who watch the excitement and don't think it's a big deal ask random questions, it will definitely make the public opinion as lively as sparks hitting the earth.

In case Ningwei made several controversial remarks at today's exhibition, he was afraid that the brand of Yanbei University would not be able to withstand the ensuing storm of public opinion.After all, the research center is a place for academics, and the storm of public opinion is too strong, whether it is good or bad, it is not conducive to everyone's research.After all, the most taboo thing in scientific research is impetuousness.

Not to mention that Tian Yan is really lucky at this time. Look at this guy, Ning Wei, who founded the March Artificial Intelligence Foundation and wanted to start a self-published journal. He has never discussed with him at all. This mentor?Wouldn't he support such a thing?

Of course, I still sigh more, as expected, it is better to have money, and you can use one billion in your own name to set up a foundation casually...

However, unexpectedly, Academician Yao beside him suddenly said, "That old Tian, ​​just now you said that your invitation to be the first director of the Future Artificial Intelligence Research Institute is still valid?"

"Of course it works!"

"Then it's settled, but I have to look at Huaqing. It's not easy to ignore the class. Is it okay to work part-time? I don't need salary."

"Haha, look at what you said, it's settled like this, I will send you a letter of appointment when my report is approved later."

"Fine!"

After a few words from the bosses, the scene inside the auditorium was finally out of control.

Yes, Ning Wei got away without saying hello on the rostrum, and everyone in the special reporter area was stunned, and then quickly reacted.

I can't go the day after tomorrow. The security personnel have already surrounded all the passages leading to the backstage after the exhibition. Fortunately, there are still many important people at the scene today.

So a bigwig in the front row who was about to leave was surrounded by enthusiastic reporters...

"Mr. Lu, what do you think of today's exhibition? Will the release in March have an impact on Apple's future products? Do you think Apple will consider joining the artificial intelligence platform cooperation led by Yanbei University in the future?"

"Sorry, I have no comment." The boss said with a serious face.

"Mr. Yan, Huawei has cooperated with Dr. Ning on the level of turbulent flow algorithms. What is your opinion on today's artificial intelligence display?"

"Obviously this is a very successful exhibition, and I think we can carry out more in-depth cooperation in this field. Of course, President Ning also said at the exhibition how to cooperate specifically. We still need to wait for the specific management system and rules to be officially announced. I only found out later." Yan Ming said with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Chen, may I ask that Google also has in-depth research on artificial intelligence. In your opinion, compared with Google's current research results in March, for example, AlphaGo is stronger or weaker?"

"This belongs to different levels of technology and cannot be compared together. Thank you, please let me..."

"Academician Yao, as a pioneer in the field of computer and artificial intelligence in China, how do you evaluate today's exhibition?"

"Oh, very strong. As Ning Wei said, he and his team have achieved the most perfect artificial intelligence under the current basic hardware conditions. I think this self-evaluation is very appropriate."

"Director Tian, ​​how do you comment on the fact that the team led by your student used artificial intelligence to publish a paper and won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics? Did you know about this before?"

"Oh, I know, Ning Wei already said at the exhibition that it was just for the Turing test. As for the evaluation, it is obviously a very successful Turing test, and the effect is obvious to all. I personally think that as long as it is for promoting Scientific progress that can benefit all mankind, any attempt that does not violate public order and good morals and is innocuous can be allowed. If science wants to develop, it should not be too rigid in some rules and regulations. Moreover, the Turing test cannot let the testee know that these are not ?"

"Then do you think that since the reason for winning the award in March is to lay the foundation for artificial intelligence, and now it has been proved that the paper in March is the research result of Ning Weiji's team, should the winner of the Wolf Prize in Mathematics this year be awarded to the creation in March? What would you rather do?"

"Hehe... This question is interesting, I really haven't thought about it. But you can't ask me this question. First of all, I am not a member of the Wolf Mathematics Prize judging committee, and even if I can participate in the judging, it is me in Ningwei." In the case of students, it also needs to be avoided. So you should ask the members of the Wolf Foundation or the Wolf Mathematics Prize Review Committee how they think about this issue, but it doesn’t matter whether they will award the prize To Ning Wei, I can actually understand."

"Then what do you think of the three basic artificial intelligence platforms that Ningwei is about to build? Will Yanbei International Mathematical Research Center participate in it?"

"Isn't the platform still under construction? Of course, participation will definitely be involved. As for the degree of participation, we will make a decision after the meeting. In addition, I would like to take this opportunity to tell you that our research center is also preparing to establish its own The Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, which will rely on Yanbei University's own advantages in artificial intelligence and combine with Ning Wei's research, will prepare for the improvement of artificial intelligence technology in the world as soon as possible. At the same time, it will also take the lead in other scientific research I believe that after the establishment of our Institute of Artificial Intelligence, it will enhance the competitiveness of all science and engineering departments of Yanbei University in the world."

"By the way, in Ning Wei's words, this will be the center of the world's artificial intelligence field in the future. Of course, we also welcome other competitive institutions to take this center position away at any time. Competition is welcome!"

Tian Yanzhen said confidently.

244 Who will win this prize?

The exhibition in the Centennial Auditorium of Huaxia Yanbei University is over, but its impact like an earthquake has just reached the other side of the ocean.What's even more frightening is that the impact is as shocking as an earthquake.

When the industry stirs shit, a newspaper in a certain country called The Sun published a newsletter on its official website in the middle of the night in a terrifying font, "The future is at hand! Princess Snow Country's bitter lover releases human-like wisdom!"

Don't think that only the title is scary, but the content is even more exciting.The general meaning is that after the love affair between the young scientist Ning Wei and Princess Snow Country was exposed, the Nordic snow royal family was dissatisfied with Ning Wei's humble background and decisively cut off the relationship between the two.After Ning Wei endured the pain of losing his beloved and returned to China, he worked hard and developed artificial intelligence software. Although it is the image of a cat, it has human consciousness. Later, Ning Wei will also materialize the human-like consciousness. According to gossip, Ning Wei’s next The next step will be to establish an intelligent platform, improve the overall industrial level of human beings, create simulated robots, and merge consciousness with simulated robots to create real humanoid robots.

Really, don't underestimate this article, because its logic is extremely meticulous.For example, why is March the image of a cat?Because Ning Wei originally hoped to create this artificial intelligence image into the appearance of Princess Isabel, but because he was afraid of arousing protests and pressure from the Nordic snow royal family, he could only use it as a cat metaphor. With the high-end ps, when the photos of San Yue and Princess Isabel are put together, there is really such a resemblance.

As for Ning Wei’s announcement that he has a girlfriend in China, the Sun newspaper also gave a very reasonable explanation. Under the pressure of the Nordic snow royal family, Ning Wei had to make such a statement in order to let him return to China. As for his girlfriend in China, it is nothing more than a It's just a shield!The article continues to describe to its readers the sad and beautiful story of the poor boy in love with the noble princess, which is really inspiring!

At the end of the article, the finishing touch is given. The artificial intelligence created by Ningwei will change the future.For countless men, there is no need to worry about not finding the third-page girl with the hot figure in the Sun newspaper.Because after the promotion of this technology, humanoid robots will be launched in the future, and robots of various shapes can be produced according to the preferences of the readers. In short, whatever the readers like, they can be made!

Never underestimate The Sun any more than you should never expect integrity from the paper.Although he is often called a tabloid in the newspaper industry of this world, he has an influence that does not match his status as a tabloid, because many people in this world believe in the reports of the Sun newspaper.

Of course, the one who suffered the most after this story came out was probably the Nordic Snow King family again.In fact, in a modern society where the influence of the European royal family is decreasing day by day, to have a very influential son-in-law who is a scientist, and at the same time, when this son-in-law is a billionaire, everyone still welcomes it deep down, but it is obvious that this kind of mentality It must not be admitted, otherwise what is the dignity of the royal family?So the dirty water in this basin can only be drained silently.Unless your head is showing off, you will go to the Sun to trouble you.

But when the Sun newspaper started, other media finally ignored the ban.After all, Huaxia Yanda's exhibition is full of news from the beginning to the end, and there are too many points to dig!Who is really suppressing the report, and if others report it, do you still have influence?

After the shit-stirring stick took the lead, the BBC immediately followed up and published a series of newsletters on its official website and official Twitter.Of course, as a self-proclaimed formal media, the BBC will not follow the example of the Sun Newspaper and run the story series.

"The world's largest Turing test was completed in China, and the scientist Ning Wei is leading the direction of artificial intelligence!"

"The winner of this year's Wolf Prize in Mathematics is actually March of Artificial Intelligence. It is doubtful whether the Wolf Foundation will change the winner."

"The intelligence of the big data platform is about to start, and the ability of artificial intelligence data integration is amazing!"

After that, as long as you open Twitter, Facebook, ins and other social software, there will be overwhelming reports and discussions about this exhibition.After half a year of silence, Ningwei's name resounded in every corner of the western land.This time, Ningwei's name was directly tied to artificial intelligence.

"The world-famous Professor Sanyue is actually an artificial intelligence developed by scientist Ning Wei. The level of intelligence is amazing!"

"The future development of artificial intelligence will depend on the faces of Chinese people!"

"Scientist Ning Wei: Level 5 autonomous driving will no longer be science fiction, and the artificial intelligence big data platform will solve countless technological pain points at this stage."

"The embarrassment of the world's top prize! The Wolf Foundation is in a dilemma!"

"The biggest joke of this century, the collective embarrassment of the academic community, many of the world's top experts in the fields of mathematics and computer science have been played by Chinese scientists!"

Really, if this period of time happens to fall asleep, ordinary people who just wake up and see various news feeds on their mobile phones are likely to fall into deep self-doubt. Is this sleeping into the future?Why do you wake up and see these news like the world has become strange? What happened?Skynet rebelled, artificial intelligence is going to rule the earth?

For those scientists who had in-depth communication with March and editors of many mathematics journals, the feeling at this time can only be described as the feeling of a dog.The group used for communication has already been fried.

"I just want to ask how the data of 103 manuscripts reviewed in 567 days came from? Didn't you all say that you would reject the March review?"

"I also have the same doubts. Anyway, I only sent [-] articles to March during this period!"

"Hehe, have you published seventeen articles? Our editorial office has only published fifteen articles in total."

"Let's talk about something else. You really never doubted that Professor March is actually a program?"

"Doubt? Why do you doubt? Everyone is not on the same page at all. If everyone had reported the number of papers they submitted to March for review earlier, it would have aroused suspicion long ago! Even God can't do an average of 5.5 papers per day for review! "

"We talked about it and thought that March might be a mathematics team, but its reply was too professional and the wording was too difficult to distinguish. It was really hard to believe that it was just artificial intelligence."

"So Johnny, how many paper reviews has your editorial office sent it?"

"Is it meaningful to bring up the past? Now the problem is that March's identity has been exposed, will it still review our papers in the future?"

"..."

……

New York, inside a mansion on the Gold Coast.Sackler Berg was looking at the latest news printed out, and his heart was full of doubts.

So are the scientists he pays big bucks a bunch of pigs?They study mathematics and artificial intelligence, and the results are not satisfactory, but they still haven't been able to tell that the professor March they support is just a program running on a machine?

Yes, Sackler Berg still vaguely remembers the name March.After the technology stock market was closed on Black Friday, those people mentioned this name in front of him. It is said that he is a Chinese scientist who has just emerged. He is better than Ningwei and yearns for their world. He agreed to give the March more credit.

The result now is that March is the artificial intelligence developed by Ningwei?Or world-leading artificial intelligence?Although it is impossible for public opinion to know the details of that meeting, the old man still felt his face being trampled on the ground and rubbed back and forth.

Face is still a trivial matter, what is even more frightening is the current influence of this restless young scientist!We must know that under the circumstances that the media has been banned, this restless guy can still affect Tesla's valuation by relying on the so-called science popularization on China's social platforms for two consecutive weeks. However, if he continues to talk nonsense, who can guarantee that it will not cause turmoil in the stock market?

What is even more frightening is that, as Ning Wei said, the most cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology of this century is already in the hands of his team.And this has always been the part of their technology companies insisting on the layout, representing the future development direction of technology.In other words, it is impossible for even him to strip Ningwei of his influence on the technology circle. On the contrary, if he wants to maintain the competitiveness of those high-tech companies in the US stock market, he may have to promote cooperation between the two parties.

But thinking of Ningwei's attitude all the time has given Sackler Berg a headache. He hates this kind of young man who doesn't love money and can't control his mouth.What's even more pity is that this young man has not appeared in his sight now, otherwise he would have made this hateful young man disappear from this world without hesitation, but now he has nothing to do.

A deep sense of powerlessness made the old man fall into silence, and he picked up the phone after a long time.

"Professor Aiken, it's me, haven't I slept yet? Well, there's no need to apologize. When something bad happens, the first thing we need to do is not to hold someone accountable. That's meaningless. What we need is Solve problems. Martin once said that we must accept disappointment because it is finite, but never lose hope because it is infinite."

"Actually, I feel very sorry, this kind of regret is very deep, maybe we made a wrong choice, yes, very wrong. You are a great mathematician, and you know more about academic things than I do. So please tell me , Can we return the honor that should belong to that young man to him, maybe in this case we can get a chance to cooperate.”

"Yes, that's right, I hope he can attend the award ceremony of the Wolf Award, and maybe I can also go to Israel to have a good chat with him. So tell me, this award can be changed, right? Hasn't this problem happened in history? Haha, of course I know it hasn't happened in history, but history has changed now. Well, I just need you to suggest this, and I will send an email to Lord Shechtman, Of course, you can also tell him this is what I mean on my behalf! I just hope that you can express my kindness to that venerable young scientist in academia instead of me."

"Of course, I trust you, Professor Aiken, so be it. I sincerely hope that I can make the trip this time."

After finishing speaking, the old man hung up the phone, stood up, came to the floor-to-ceiling windows, looked at the colorful world rendered by the lights outside the window, began to rub the ring on his finger, and fell into deep thought.

……

In Yiguo, as soon as Dan Shechtman woke up at six o'clock in the morning, his mobile phone sent out a series of reminders. He turned on the mobile phone and checked it. Sure enough, there were several calls when the do-not-disturb function was turned on last night.

He didn't reply to these calls right away, because soon he learned the whole story from the message he received on his mobile phone.

Professor March is not Yu Xingwei but an artificial intelligence?

This news quickly woke up the sleepy brain...

What international joke? !The Wolf Foundation announced on its official website that it will reward a program?

After calming down, the chairman of the foundation didn't bother to wash up, but went into the study first, carefully watched the exhibition held in the early morning of yesterday on the Internet, and then felt that the whole person was not very well.

Is he crazy or is the world crazy?

Artificial intelligence has evolved to be able to review manuscripts, to communicate with scholars without hindrance, and to hide from the judges of many awards?

At this moment, Dan Shechtman had the same idea as Sackler Berg in his mind. Are these judges invited by the foundation a bunch of pigs?Really, as the chairman of the foundation, he doesn't care who wins the prize, as long as it's not a cat that can only meow "Xiao Miao", anyone can.

Just at this time, the phone in his hand rang.

"...What? Changed to Ningwei? As far as I know, there has never been such a temporary change in the history of any international academic awards. I have a better idea, you know? Maybe we You can directly cancel this year's mathematics award!"

"Is this what Mr. Sackler meant? Well, I will seriously consider this suggestion, of course it needs a majority vote in the council! Of course, I will convene the council as soon as possible, so be it. Goodbye! "

Then the phone was hung up heavily!

……

Huaxia, Yanbei University.

Although Ning Wei said at the exhibition that no lunch was arranged for many guests after today's meeting, the real heavyweights still have something to eat.

In fact, many bigwigs didn't plan to leave after the meeting, but stayed in the university in the name of visiting the Yanbei International Mathematical Research Center. As the host, Tian Yanzhen had no choice but to entertain them.

Fortunately, Yanbei University is already a place for business banquets, so during lunch, all the bigwigs were taken to the big box of Yanbei Boya International Hotel.For this banquet, Ning Wei actually refused from the bottom of his heart. Compared with eating with these big guys, it is obviously more interesting to eat with his own women.Who wants to chat with a bunch of old men about messy things when there is beauty to eat.

However, he couldn't refuse after all, and was pushed into the car by Lu Dongyi, and sat next to Mr. Yan.

"Haha, Mr. Ning, congratulations! By the way, if the Wolf Mathematics Prize is really going to be awarded to March, who do you plan to receive the prize?" Sitting in the car, Yan Ming was in a good mood and joked.

"No one needs to go, March can go, if they dare to let go of authority, March can be a guest at any time." Ning Wei shrugged and replied naturally.

------------

245 You are not the target members of the platform!

Yan Ming experienced what kind of feeling was buzzing in his head.When negotiating on the turbulence algorithm, he felt that this young man had a calm and calm temperament, and now this temperament has intensified.

It is difficult for a person to understand another person, just like it is difficult for Yan Ming to understand why the young man in front of him can just announce a bunch of news that can shake the world, and still put it aside and joke with him lightly, Just like a normal person.

In fact, he really wanted to talk about how the two parties could deepen the cooperation, but the Boya International Hotel is really too close to the research center, less than one kilometer away, which is just a couple of jokes away.

As a restaurant in a five-star hotel, the interior decoration of Yanchun Garden is still remarkable.At least from Ning Wei's point of view, the decoration and the environment are already very good.

This time, more than ten cars came together, a total of more than 20 people. Tian Yanzhen just called to reserve two private rooms, then sat down, ordered food, and ate.

There was nothing to talk about during the whole dinner. Ning Wei refused to drink, and started to eat naturally after the food was served. For the bosses of companies such as Apple, Google, IBM, Penguin Group, etc. on the table, this is also a novelty experience.

No greetings, no opportunity to speak, if you want to say something, you can probably only talk to the mentor next to Ning Wei, if you want to talk to Ning Wei about something serious, at least there is no chance at the dinner, because he really just came to eat of.However, Lao Tian is still a master of Tai Chi, and all kinds of massage skills are directly full.

Seeing this situation, Yan Ming felt relieved.In fact, this is also quite good, it is still the same as Ning Wei, and it has not changed a little bit.Thinking back to the time when the contract was about to be signed, Academician Lu repeatedly invited Ning Wei to have a meal and celebrate, but was directly rejected by the young man.

From this point of view, Lao Tian's face is still relatively large.Of course, it wasn't completely useless for the bigwigs at the dinner, at least they knew that Ning Wei was probably a real foodie, and this information was actually very important.After all, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that the young scientist who was swaying freely at the exhibition just now really only knew how to eat at the dinner.
