Chapter 351 Out of Control Public Opinion
"Shocked! Meowstar Technology's products are out of control, and the computer angel turns into a murderer!"
"A certain up host broadcasts the entire process of angel killing online!"
"Yesterday, a technician angel in a club killed three people in a row, and finally fell to the ground due to a malfunction before stopping the killing!"
"The bull market is about to end! The stock price of the Meow Galaxy Unicorn Company has dropped sharply, and the mid-to-downstream industries of intelligent robots are the hardest hit areas!"
...
Because the cat star public relations department responded half a beat slow and did not intervene in time to deal with the dissemination of media information, news of computer angel murder cases soon spread on the Internet.
Coupled with live online videos and circulating everywhere, the information about the angel murder case has attracted much attention from the world after leaking. Soon someone linked this club case with the murder of the rich second generation, which made the public opinion in the whole society one-sided, and everyone doubted the safety of Meow Star Technology.
In particular, people are extremely worried about the safety of intelligent robots. Many people believe that with the increase in the number of intelligent robots around the world, the possibility of humans facing the rebellion of intelligent machines has increased a lot.
A self-proclaimed intelligent AI research expert said publicly: "Even if there is no artificial intelligence defense system like Skynet, intelligent robots must be prevented from developing self-awareness, especially when robots are subject to exploitation, torture and humiliation in the process of serving humans. In addition, virus infections and system bugs are present, it is very likely that they will suddenly awaken and hate their masters, and even regard all human beings as a threat!"
"We are on the eve of the "Metropolis" era. With the popularization of robots in human life, the problem of intelligent robots will be the main contradiction in human society in the future, and it will replace class contradictions and become racial contradictions!"
Under this plausible theory, everyone was shocked to find that there were more and more intelligent machines around them. They didn’t see so many angels and assistants in the past few years, but as living standards rise and people’s income continues to increase, smart robots, whose prices have not changed significantly, have tended to become home appliances.
According to relevant research reports, after the global number of intelligent robots exceeds one billion, the number of intelligent machines produced by Meow Star will continue to increase every year. It is estimated that in another five years, it will be the same as the global population, that is, one intelligent robot per capita.
Whether it is an angel or a little assistant, the number of intelligent robots will exceed that of humans in five years, and this trend will not be reversed in the future!
"If intelligent robots want to take over the earth at that time, it will be easy!" the expert intimidated.
Since experts have said this, ordinary people will think about this aspect, and some public-known Internet celebrities who deliberately attract attention have stirred up the entire social public opinion like boiling water, and it is still difficult to calm down.
Under the influence of this public opinion, the sales of smart robots of Miaoxing Group stagnated for the first time, and even showed negative growth in some periods.
Users called one after another, trying to learn about the security of intelligent robots from the Meow Star customer service. There were too many people calling in during peak hours, so that the customer service lines almost collapsed.
Not only do users who intend to purchase start hesitating, but even users who have already placed an order and paid for it have chosen to refund. If they are privately customized users, they might as well not even need the deposit.
As for users who are using intelligent robots, they spontaneously gather together to understand each other's news and information about angel murder cases, learn how to judge the signs of intelligent robots before they lose control, and prevent themselves from encountering similar things.
Many users plan to claim compensation together. Even if they don’t encounter any problems, they always feel that they are in danger, so they need to pay spiritual compensation for Meow Star Group.
Even the relevant departments began to worry. They sent people to the Meow Star Laboratory to verify whether the intelligent robots would really get out of control, especially those ghost killers who were cruising around the flower planting house to prevent air attacks. Will they lose control!
If there are system vulnerabilities, how can we fix the vulnerabilities and when can we solve the security vulnerabilities?
This kind of issue concerning national security must be asked in person!
If Cat Castle or Ghost Killer develops the so-called self-awareness, then no matter how powerful they are, the Rabbit Military will probably consider whether to pick up the R&D plan of human fighter jets again.
"Impossible!" Li Maoye of course insisted on his own opinion.
He thought that even if the computer angel really killed someone, it was because someone controlled the remotely, and this matter might not be the case!
"The computer angels and the little assistants are strictly restricted to death. Their underlying code is different from the ghost killer, and it is absolutely impossible to kill people!"
"As for Ghost Killer and Cat Castle, they use the 'raven'-level AI intelligent system, which is far less versatile than angels and small assistants in terms of versatility, but they are much higher than their professionalism and obedience. This is an intelligent system specially used as a weapon, and there will never be any violation of human instructions!"
"It's better to worry about the sun exploding if you think robots will rebel against humans!"
"In terms of probability, the probability of the sun explosion producing 'resistance' is higher than that of an intelligent robot!"
After his repeated explanations, the relevant departments finally put their heart back to their original place and no longer mentioned any robots rebelling against humans or intelligent awakening.
Then the relevant departments increased the task force's efforts to solve the case, so that they could solve the case as soon as possible and clear the Meow Star Group of innocence.
Zhou Lin expressed his helplessness in this regard. Even if the case can be solved and captured, the reputation of Meow Star Technology's products has been greatly damaged. It may be difficult to restore the market's confidence in Meow Star Black Technology again.
"It can only be restored slowly through time!"
After all, whether it is because of losing control or being hacked, this means that there are serious security loopholes in Meowstar Technology products! What’s more serious is that the technical department has not yet found the problem. Even if it wants to fix the loopholes as soon as possible, there is no way out.
Of course, the relevant departments would not just listen to Li Maoye's one-sided words. In addition, they also found many experts in the field of intelligence for research and analysis, many of which were experts in program technology. They tried to find out the reasons why computer angels lost control and killed people from various aspects.
After years of in-depth research, there are already a large number of cat language experts in the Zanhua Family. These people can optimize and adjust the codes of many black technology products, and even make innovations to a certain extent.
After receiving the task, they immediately conducted research and analysis based on the underlying code they obtained, but they still found no problems. So much so that most people agree with Li Maoye's statement that the possibility of intelligent robots rebelling against humans is too low, and it is unlikely that the robot will lose control.
"The only possibility is human-made!" experts from relevant departments analyzed.
"But Academician Li always insisted that the computer angel was not hacked, and he also said that it was not the intelligent robot that killed people!"
"This is impossible to explain clearly!"
Even if experts from relevant departments agree with the bald boss, they only partially agree. As for the outside world, they even believe that the murderer is the computer angel, and it is a serious problem caused by product security loopholes.
Not only ordinary people think this view, but also many people in the task force think this way.
For example, Captain Wang Zhong is one of them. He always thought it was a computer angel who killed people, but at first he thought it was an angel who was out of control, and then he was covered up by the huge influence of the cat star group, so he led Chen Xiaoling to investigate in depth.
It turned out that this was not the case. They found that this was a man-made murder case, and it might also involve conflicts and conflicts between the Cat Star Group and other organizations, so he chose to leave with confidence.
Although he did not leave the vortex of this incident in the end, he always firmly believed that "Miaoxing Technology is powerful enough, but their products will still have problems. If there is no restrictions, the technology will eventually swallow up the entire human society. It will be too late to regret it when the time comes!"
Simply put, the reason why black technology is black technology is because it cannot be understood by humans, or few people can understand it, so it is called black technology!
Human beings should be respectful of things that cannot be understood, and even restrict their use, at least not trust them too much!
This is the dilemma of Meow Star Group now. As a unique black technology company in the world, it has too many high-tech in its hands, and it is basically black technology that Earth researchers cannot understand.
If Meow Star Group was just a domestic company and its influence was limited to the local flower farmer, or if the influence was not that great, perhaps even if there were many angel murder cases, it would not have attracted so many opposition.
But it is a large company that can influence the world, and it is a group of companies with a huge influence, so it can play a huge role after the asteroid event.
Since its birth, Cat Star Group has crushed countless companies in the past decade, causing more than one million people to lose their originally comfortable and stable work and life, forcing them to engage in new industries and even commit themselves to the shadow of Cat Star Group to continue to survive.
But for these people, the better life they once had has been lost. Even if the Cattle Star Group later brought a better and more convenient life in the black technology era to human society, they will have a deep grudge against Cattle Star Technology.
Now with the widespread spread of angel murder cases, this undercurrent hidden under the original mainstream thought has finally erupted and has become the mainstream rhetoric in today's social public opinion.
They oppose black technology, cat star group, and even Li Maoye!
With the help of this counterattack trend, many Western countries have begun to get ready to move. They try to manipulate and influence the direction of public opinion so that this anti-black technology trend can be used by themselves, and want to threaten Rabbit and Meow Star Group through public opinion to achieve their true goals.
"What? The Bald Eagle joined forces with multiple countries to propose a request to share black technology to our government at the United Nations meeting, and said that the Meow Star Group is too large and is enough to have an uncontrollable impact on the direction of human destiny. Therefore, if you want to divide it into multiple unrelated companies, and also allow foreign capital to enter shareholding control?"
When Zhou Lin received the news from the relevant departments, he was really shocked and angry at the Bald Eagle's behavior. Then he urgently convened a senior company meeting to discuss how to deal with it.
"It's simply shameless!"
"How could you see someone else's family has money and land, and they are shameless and ask for half of it. Isn't this a robbery?"
"Their ancestors started by relying on pirates to rob, so it is not uncommon to do such things. If they had strong enough force, they would have sent troops to rob them. How could they have made false requests? Wouldn't it be faster to do it yourself?"
"Dare you dare to come and rob? I don't believe that the Rabbit Army is a vegetarian!"
"I won't get to that point for the time being, but the country has to bear a lot of pressure. This time, not only is the foreign public opinion guidance not good for us, but even many people in China have begun to think that Meow Star Black Technology will be restricted!"
"Our national government will definitely not agree, but we can't find the mastermind behind it, and we can't find loopholes, which will make us quite passive. If one or more angel murder cases happen again, then..."
At the meeting, the monkey, Tank, Li Chunxue and others said indignantly, but after all, there was no good way to solve the problem. Only Li Maoye listened silently.
"Okay! Everyone calm down first!"
Zhou Lin felt that continuing to discuss this would only waste time, so he directly said to others: "I think we should take the initiative and hold a press conference to say that these computer angels have been artificially transformed. This transformation is not allowed by Meow Star Technology, and it is completely illegal. Even if there is a problem of out-of-control, it should be caused by the transformation."
When Monkey and others heard this, they immediately felt that this solution was very good, and at least they could shift the main responsibility. As for whether the computer angel had been transformed, how could ordinary people know the real situation? If the media wanted to show evidence of the transformation, wouldn’t that be the matter of the Meow Star maintenance department?
As long as the Cat Star Group can be removed from the incident, even if it cannot affect the mainstream public opinion tendency for the time being, after the incident is calmed down, this statement will be immediately exerted, and then the Cat Star Technology products can be washed away and put on the shore.
"I think it's possible!"
"This statement is really good before there is no other way!"
"I agree with Mr. Zhou's approach!"
Not only Monkey Tank and others passed this method, but even other senior executives of the company agreed, at least no one opposed Zhou Lin's suggestion on the spot.
But Li Maoye still sat without expression, without any statement about it, as if he was out of the matter.
Chapter completed!
