After the dinner, Zhang Wei bid farewell to the other business executives one by one, and then left the private restaurant with Ning Wei and Zhao Rui.

Those business executives who still drive Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Maserati and other luxury cars watched Zhang Wei drive the domineering bulletproof flying car into the sky, and then looked at their own luxury car that could only be driven on the ground. It is inevitable that a touch of envy will emerge. Compared with flying cars, traditional cars are really inconvenient and impossible to put on the table. However, they quickly looked forward to it again, because Zhang Wei agreed to their car purchase request at the dinner party.

At this time, Zhang Wei was checking over a dozen missed calls on his mobile phone, including those from his parents, friends such as Qin Xiaobu, employees of Future Technology Company, and Mayor Zhu.

Once back in the hotel's presidential suite, he started returning calls, all of which, as expected, were to congratulate him.

It wasn't until more than half an hour later that he returned all the calls. Although his mouth was a little dry, he was still in a good mood, with a smile on his face all the time.

After answering the phone call, Zhang Wei went to the bathroom to take a shower, then turned on the computer, and began to search for news about Three Science and Technology Conferences and New York Cyber ​​Terrorist Attack.

These two are hot topics, occupying almost all the news pages.

Zhang Wei first browsed the news reports related to the Three Science and Technology Conferences.

News Network made a five-minute report on the Three Science and Technology Meetings, gave an in-depth interpretation of the speech of the No. 1 head, and also highlighted future technology companies, and gave Zhang Wei a five-second long Long shot close-up.

In addition, the governor of Yunhai Province, where Zhongyun City is located, and the mayor of Zhongyun City also expressed to the media that they must thoroughly implement the spirit of the Three Meetings on Science and Technology and strive to build a world power in science and technology. At the same time, both the provincial governor and the mayor have stated that they will vigorously support technological innovation-oriented enterprises such as Future Technology Corporation.

Zhang Wei was not surprised by the governor's and mayor's speeches. He knew very well that domestic politics is responsible to the top. Since the top has made it clear that it will focus on supporting future technology companies, the people below will definitely act according to the top. Do.

Generally speaking, this is a very good thing for him and the future technology company. He believes that after the Three Technology Meetings, no one in China will dare to take action against him and the future technology company. He will There is a long period of time to develop with peace of mind.

Then, Zhang Wei continued to browse news reports related to the New York Cyber ​​Terrorist Attack.

It has been almost a day since this incident happened. It can be seen from news reports that New York City has recovered from this disaster. The financial system and transportation system have been operating normally, and government agencies and enterprises have also started working normally. It is that glamorous international metropolis.

However, the impact of this incident continues to ferment.

In particular, many computer experts have published articles claiming that artificial intelligence was involved in this cyber terrorist attack, which directly aroused a great discussion on artificial intelligence technology all over the world.

The most popular video was titled Artificial Intelligence: Hand of God or Pandora's Box?

After Zhang Wei clicked on this video, he found that it was a clip of Google founder and CEO Larry Page being interviewed by News Corporation TV.

After the interview began, the host said, Only 14 hours ago, New York City suffered an unprecedented hacker attack, and all electronic devices connected to the Internet were completely paralyzed, causing direct economic losses to our country of more than 150 billion U.S. dollars, and indirect economic losses exceeding $600 billion, this is a painful disaster for us.

According to analysis by computer experts, the hacker used artificial intelligence to invade and control hundreds of networked supercomputers and millions of personal computers around the world before launching a cyber attack on New York City.

This also caused us to think,

Should humans develop artificial intelligence technology? Is artificial intelligence the hand of God or Pandora's box for humans?

Now, we are honored to invite Google founder and CEO Larry Page to participate in this in-depth dialogue.

Let me first invite Mr. Larry Page to introduce artificial intelligence to us.

Larry Page said, The term artificial intelligence was proposed in 1956. After more than 60 years of development, artificial intelligence has made great progress and has large-scale applications in both industrial and civilian fields. , is closely related to our lives. Generally speaking, the purpose of artificial intelligence is to enable computers, machines, to think like humans and to serve humans better.”

The host then asked, Can you tell us about the current state of artificial intelligence?

Larry Page said, In 1997, the supercomputer Deep Blue developed by IBM defeated the current chess champion Gary Kasparov, announcing the advent of artificial intelligence to mankind. After that, the development of artificial intelligence was extremely rapid. So far, many companies have made breakthroughs in artificial intelligence technology, such as our company's AlphaGo, Apple's Siri, Microsoft's Cortana, and IBM's Watson.

Before the hacker who launched a cyber attack on New York appeared, I always thought that IBM's Watson was the best artificial intelligence, but after the appearance of this mysterious hacker, I was surprised that the real artificial intelligence had been born. Now, this artificial intelligence is almost a 'god' on the Internet, and no one can compete with it. It is a pity that this hacker used artificial intelligence technology in the wrong place. He should use artificial intelligence to serve mankind, not to destroy it.

In addition, Google's artificial intelligence technology has also made a major breakthrough, and we are confident that we will launch a new artificial intelligence product within a year.

The host continued to ask, The cyber terrorist attack in New York has shown us the destructive power of artificial intelligence and the possible harm to human beings. Do you still think we should continue to develop artificial intelligence technology?

Larry Page said, In fact, many human beings have reflected on artificial intelligence in many film and television literary works. Whether it is a pessimistic doomsday theory, such as Terminator, or the idea that humans and robots can finally reach a certain balance. The symbiosis theory, such as Mechanical Enemy and Super Chappie, has become the consensus of almost all prophets that machine life will eventually gain consciousness and survive independently of humans.

Under the influence of these film and television literature works, many people believe that artificial intelligence will eventually destroy human beings, so they have a passive resistance attitude towards artificial intelligence.

However, in my opinion, any technology is a double-edged sword, and so is artificial intelligence. It can bring us great benefits as well as negative effects. But it is always just a tool, and it is the human beings who use the tool that can determine the fate of mankind.

As for whether artificial intelligence should continue to be developed, my personal opinion is that artificial intelligence is the general trend, and no one can stop the development of technology, and I believe that artificial intelligence will always be subject to human beings.

The host continued to ask, From a technical point of view, is it possible for artificial intelligence to form self-awareness?
