Chapter 62: In-depth dialogue

The next day, another topic will be unfolded, namely: technological innovation and development, looking forward to the future and artificial intelligence.

Ren Hong also became a guest on this topic. In addition to Ren Hong, there is another heavyweight guest, that is Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

Today, the scientific and technological innovation issue sector has received a lot of attention, not because of how high and fresh the topic is, but because of two heavyweight guests. Needless to say, Ren Hong has become another legend full of passion and inspiration after Jack Ma in China. His youth makes people feel more intimate, just like the same type of people. Ren Hong has become a Chinese-style character like Bill Gates and Jobs, and he is undoubtedly chased by a large number of Chinese people.

Mark Zuckerberg is also a famous global figure. Over 2 billion people around the world know Mark Zuckerberg. It can be seen that he has a reputation and his huge influence is also due to the Facebook in his hands. Similarly, Xiao Za also has a lot of popularity in China and is called Jack Ma of the United States by Chinese people. He is also a legendary and inspiring figure.

Such two people can naturally greatly attract the audience's vision when talking.

Now, with instant online translation, the special website opened by this forum summit, no matter which country users are from, as long as they are interested, they can participate in and interact with the summit through instant online translation, and there are no communication barriers. With instant voice translation, people all over the world can understand the live forum videos.

The special forum opened by Ren Hong and Zuckerberg is undoubtedly the most attractive place. Among the forums, the special sections where they are located have the largest gathering of traffic. This is a strong view of the in-depth exchange among netizens from all over the world.

In fact, this is not surprising. The origins between Ren Hong and Zuckerberg are already eye-catching, but now they are praised by each other as the symbol of Sino-US friendship. The classic DT combination of both sides is also talked about. Since Facebook's market value officially surpassed Apple and Apple, it has become the number one company represented by the US this time. Although Matrix Technology XlouS has not been listed, it is the most valuable one among the representatives of major Chinese companies.

The most valuable companies representing both sides are young world giants, with in-depth dialogue and future development in the eastern and western hemispheres!

It was too topical and too eye-catching for the two of them to come together.

At the scene, Ren Hong and Zuckerberg were sitting on an independent white curved sofa. Interestingly, the clothes of both parties were somewhat mirrored, which had been discovered and discussed by netizens many times.

After the communication and dialogue were about to begin, the host began to say:

“…We have the honor to invite Mr. Ren Hong, founder of China Matrix Technology XlouS, as well as friends from the United States, Mr. Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook, to participate in this in-depth conversation…”

"...About artificial intelligence, from the 1950s and 1960s to now, is not a novel topic. Artificial intelligence has become more and more popular. In real life, artificial intelligence has entered multiple fields and is closely related to people's lives. So what do you think about what impact artificial intelligence has on the future development of human beings?"

Zuckerberg was the first to answer: "AI (artificial intelligence) is already a common topic. In the future, if someone asks me which technology is the most important? I think it is AI. In the future, AI will be as important as electricity, and it is difficult for humans to leave AI."

Ren Hong also said: "Maybe, in the future, as Mr. Masayoshi said, in the future, what determines a country's GDP ranking is not the population, but the amount of intelligent robots and its intelligence." He raised his legs, leaned against the sofa, held a microphone in his hand and smiled and said: "At present, the United States' GDP is the first in the world rankings, but it is not certain whether it can continue to be ranked first in the near future."

Zuckerberg said: "To be honest, before the voice assistant 'Xiaoyou' appeared, I always thought that IBM's Watson was the most advanced AI in the world. But the smart voice assistant 'XlouS' surprise me. She is too comprehensive and China is already ahead of the world in the field of AI."

Zuckerberg's unscrupulous praise made Chinese netizens who watched the video very proud, and China is leading Europe and the United States in another cutting-edge hot field.

Zuckerberg restrained his surprised expression, paused and continued: "It's not just China, but on a global scale. I think in the next 5 to 8 years, major giant companies will usher in the biggest opportunity and one of the biggest challenges, that is, the rapid development and rapid popularization of AI!"

The host nodded and said, "We all know that we are in the sixth wave era recognized by mankind, that is, the era of Internet of Things. With smart homes, smart wearable devices and intelligent robots as the main representatives, these more and more emerging products. In today's era of Internet of Things, what is their interaction between them?"

"Voice!" Ren Hong said, and the host and Zuckerberg nodded and looked at Ren Hong.

Ren Hong held the microphone and looked at the live audience and camera lens in front of him, "I think it's voice."

He added: "I personally believe that I agree that the future will be an era of interconnection of everything with voice as the main focus. Take our company's intelligent voice assistant "Xiaoyou", which is gradually replacing control and cumbersome operations, and completing the various instructions and needs issued by people through language..."

"...In terms of pronunciation, throughout the entire history of human beings, historians, archaeologists and some scholars have generally reached a consensus that we humans can truly make breakthroughs based on the birth of language. From the birth of human beings to the long time of evolution of Homo sapiens, we know that the real difference between apes and Homo sapiens is not walking upright, but that Homo sapiens has their own unique language."

"It is precisely because of the birth of language that various information can be transmitted between people. This interaction method allows the knowledge and culture accumulated by human beings to be passed on to the next generation and passed on from generation to generation."

"I think... the development of artificial intelligence must also start from this aspect. In the future, intelligent machinery and a variety of interactive devices can allow artificial intelligence to gain 'cognition' through language-based access..."

The discussion on artificial intelligence has been no longer a day or two, but the in-depth dialogue on this topic is undoubtedly very hot. Not only Ren Hong and the others are communicating, but netizens who are watching the video are also hotly discussing and expressing their opinions.

The host said: "...When it comes to artificial intelligence, we can't help but say another point. At present, the field of artificial intelligence always comes with exciting news, including matrix technology XlouS, but people's concerns about artificial intelligence are everywhere. For example, "Terminator" and "The Matrix" have expressed concerns and warnings to the world through artistic techniques. Perhaps out-of-control machines do not always exist in the science fiction world, but may exist in the near future. Philosopher Price once said: "We must take the moment that may evolve into the "Pandora's Box". Once artificial intelligence loses control, the consequences may be catastrophic." Not only Price, famous scholars Hawking, Musk and Bill Gates, etc., have expressed concerns about artificial intelligence. People's concern is that when a high-level intelligent machine is created, it may lead to out-of-control, and the value of machines to humans and humans will become indifferent.

In his opinion, when a computer can write programs on its own and program it may reach a certain critical point. Most people, scientists, philosophers or free-thinking scholars are warning the world that this kind of problem may be very serious." The host talked about the most popular topic about artificial intelligence. As long as artificial intelligence is mentioned, this topic is always inevitable. Many netizens are listening carefully and want to see what the two big names on the stage think.

Zuckerberg first said, "There are many experts in this field of research that believe that in the next five to 15 years or so, many traditional professions today will disappear, and some data even show that it will reach an astonishing 65%. They describe an exciting and terrifying future."

Zuckerberg continued: "Today's humans are experiencing a very great and extremely terrifying third technological industry revolution that integrates between biological genetic engineering, new materials engineering and AI (artificial intelligence). What impact will the emergence of AI have on us humans? I saw a forum discussion article on the army in a recent newspaper. By 2050, the army of a great power will be composed of natural humans, robots, and biological humans. This is to say, in 2050, it is hard to imagine what form human society will become in the future...

...In the near future, maybe ten years, twenty years, or longer, in the whole human society, there may be about 80% of people who are likely to have no chance of working from birth to death, but this does not sound good news. No work may bring huge boredom, emptiness, loneliness to individuals. Traditional countries, current management models of enterprises and organizations, and society will also usher in unprecedented huge challenges."

Zuckerberg nodded and stopped talking. Ren Hong, who was standing by, pointed the microphone at his chin for a while, and said to the audience: "I agree with Zach's view more. Today we were sitting on the stage and were having some communication that everyone might think is nonsense, but this is the future. We are not future experts, and we cannot predict the real future, but we can talk about some dreams and future possibilities. Regarding the topic of artificial intelligence, I don't think there is much to say, trends are inevitable. No one can stop the development of technology, no one can do it.

Everything in the world has two sides, and technology is the same. It can bring us positive benefits and negative impacts. Artificial intelligence will not start a war like humans described in movies such as Terminator or The Matrix. This is just the fear that exists deep in our hearts, because it (AI) does not need it at all. What is the significance of it? In essence, there is no right or wrong in technology itself. No matter whether technology brings us positive or even negative impacts, it ultimately depends on our human choices..."

After a pause, he continued: "Suppose one day, some crazy scientist, terrorist or curious fool write one or two or more instructions to artificial intelligence, one or more instructions, one or another. If artificial intelligence is ordered to destroy humans, artificial intelligence will execute this command. In other words, artificial intelligence needs one instruction, which is the same as a goal we are chasing. The difference is that we humans will set goals for ourselves, give up or move forward bravely, but artificial intelligence will not generate commands independently, and it will not be like us humans, instantly called super-artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence itself is just a tool. Therefore, it is the human being who determines the fate of human beings. "
