Chapter 440: Chen Mo Said

"Mr. Chen Mo, do you think it's a little too early to talk about the future city?" The one who stood up and asked the question was a Western elite who looked like the management of a certain company.

After Chen Mo's speech was over, the people in the audience below began to feel restless. For many people, the smart city described by Chen Mo is still a long way off.

"Not too early, I will give you a concept of time. In the next five years, if there are no accidents, Binhai City will build the prototype of a smart city."

Chen Mo shook his head in denial and said.

"A unified platform for artificial intelligence has emerged. Our company's 'artificial intelligence' platform is to create an intelligent core. City brain, artificial intelligence transportation, artificial intelligence building, artificial intelligence electrical appliances, artificial intelligence office, artificial intelligence life, etc., these have been Not a movie.

Our company headquarters, as well as the staff dormitory, have realized the concept of 'artificial intelligence', which is being promoted to Binhai City and even the entire city of China.

According to our statistics, after the launch of the smart transportation project in Binhai City, the average waiting time of citizens at the traffic lights on the sidewalk decreased by 15 seconds. In a city with millions of people, this is a terrifying figure.

The traffic congestion rate in Binhai City has dropped by more than 70% compared with the same period of previous years. Even during the peak commute period, there will be no large-scale traffic jams. Urban road infrastructure, under the analysis of big data and artificial intelligence, is fully utilized. Next, as long as driverless traffic becomes popular, the basic prototype of a smart city will be formed, and this day will not be too far away. "

Chen Mo's words caused a commotion below.

Looking at the hands raised by everyone, Chen Mo ordered another person to stand up.

"Mr. Chen Mo, we all know that Gates, Musk and other bigwigs and many experts are worried that artificial intelligence will bring a crisis to mankind. Why are you so sure that artificial intelligence will not bring a crisis to mankind? Establish Smart cities, don’t you worry that artificial intelligence will control and destroy human beings?”

"Why am I more sure than them? Because I'm more professional than them. Let's be crazy, Army Ant has the most advanced artificial intelligence at present, and I am the person who understands artificial intelligence the most."

Chen Mo gave an answer, this is not the first time he has heard this question.

"Artificial intelligence brings a crisis to mankind? It is possible, but the probability is pitiful. There are countless things that destroy human beings, a special mutation of an infectious virus, a large meteorite hitting the earth, nuclear war, the sudden change in the climate of the earth itself, from the universe. radiation, or the sudden appearance of three aliens, etc.

The probability that artificial intelligence will destroy human beings exists,

But according to statistical calculations, this probability is about the same as tomorrow is the end of the world. You have to be clear, it is impossible for humans to hand over nuclear warheads to artificial intelligence control, and science fiction movies are all lies.

Whether it will bring a crisis to human beings is determined by human ability. Strictly speaking, artificial intelligence is just a tool created by humans, a tool that makes humans powerful.

In the barbaric era, ancestors created tools to defeat nature to survive and evolve, created knives and guns and slaughtered in war. Are knives and guns destroying human beings? No, these tools just make humans stronger. What destroys human beings is their own desires and madness, and has nothing to do with tools, even if they are advanced tools.

People will die if the gun is fired or the car is out of control. Human beings are the first to find the cause and repair the damaged tool. It is impossible to let it go out of control freely. Will humans scrap all cars because they occasionally run out of control and kill people? impossible.

The artificial intelligence in the movie is completely out of control, creating robots to kill humans, and the probability is similar to that of all nuclear bombs suddenly exploded together.

In the future of universe development, interstellar exploration, artificial intelligence is the best tool. Humans want to be stronger, relying on their weak bodies and limited strength, it is impossible to detect the infinite starry sky. Artificial intelligence is an inevitable megatrend. If you are worried that artificial intelligence will destroy human beings, it is more practical to worry about whether artificial intelligence will replace your jobs tomorrow. "

There was applause from below. Chen Mo's metaphors are just right, people can't refute, and they are very persuasive.

Soon, another figure stood up, and after taking the microphone, the one who stood up spoke up.

"Mr. Chen Mo, as far as I know, you Huaxia, you are the first to win the Nobel Prize in Physics. Why does your country have so few Nobel Prizes in natural sciences? Does this mean that your country's education is very backward? Technology is very backward? "The person who spoke had a mocking sarcasm in his voice.

Suddenly jumping to this question, Chen Mo was slightly taken aback, but he didn't take the other party's sarcastic tone to heart at all.

"Actually, this is also the question I want to ask. I dare to ask everyone here, why does our country win so few Nobel Prizes? Is our education backward? Is our country underdeveloped in science and technology?"

Chen Mo shook his head directly.

"If China's education is backward, why has China's scientific and technological achievements and economic achievements reached the top in the world in just over 40 years of opening up? Even some fields of science and technology have become leaders? Is this what a backward education can achieve? Those Those who say that Huaxia education is backward, do not know Huaxia, but are just a frog in the bottom of the well."

Chen Mo's words spread throughout the venue through simultaneous translation. Hearing the irony in the answer, the person who stood up and asked the question blushed, and felt that the eyes around him were sneering, as if they were looking at the clown.

Ignoring his reaction, Chen Mo continued to speak.

"As for why Huaxia won so few Nobel Prizes? Have you thought about the reason?"

Chen Mo paused, everyone on the field fell into silence, thinking about Chen Mo's words, and also thinking about the reasons.

"First of all, the science and technology tree of natural sciences is based on education and economy. Its achievements are branches and branches, as well as leaves and flowers. The Nobel Prize is just an unintentional loan from the science and technology tree. It is better. The sweeter fruit. Would you deny all the fruit on this tree because you have only a few good ones?"

As soon as Chen Mo's voice fell, many people on the field nodded and applauded.

The Nobel Prize is only a prominent point among many scientific achievements, but it does not represent the whole. They recognize the Nobel Prize, but also know that the Nobel Prize does not represent the overall level of a country.

Sweden, Switzerland and other countries have more Nobel Prizes in natural science than Russia, let alone China. But does this mean that the technological level of these countries is more advanced than these two countries? Totally impossible.

And some things in the Nobel Prize, Chen Mo is not easy to break.

In the 40 years after the October Revolution in Russia, and the more than ten years of the US-Soviet hegemony, the Soviet Union's natural science Nobel Prizes were all blank. Especially during the Cold War, the Soviet Union's scientific and technological strength once surpassed that of the United States, and a steady stream of new technologies were discovered, but none of the Nobel Prizes were awarded. The United States won many awards during the same period.

These are all very clear evidence.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia's relations with various parties improved, and it received a blowout award. These performances were even more obvious.

It is said that science and technology have no borders, but scientists have nationalities, and it is impossible to achieve technology without borders.

There are no Chinese scientists on the Nobel Prize committee. Why are there so few Chinese natural science awards? Are you not talking about technology, and you don't even have a person who recommends and speaks for it, how can you win an award? Western prejudice against China is not a day or two.

In the eyes of many people, the Nobel Prize is not fair, but a politically influenced award.

Chen Mo won't publicly say these offending remarks on such a stage, just keep it in his heart.

"The second reason is that the research and development of modern top technology is no longer the era of individual heroes. The winner of the Nobel Prize can only be shared by a limited number of two or three people. As far as I know, the research and development of top technology in China, It is mainly based on teams. A top team can range from five to six people to as many as hundreds of people.

For the results developed by the team, the credit goes to two or three people, which is not in line with reality.

Taking insulin as an example, when Huaxia synthesized insulin that year, because the number of R&D teams exceeded the upper limit of the Nobel Prize, Huaxia did not apply for the Nobel Prize that year. It is unacceptable to attribute collective results to a few people.

Now one or two people have developed advanced technologies that lead the world in science and technology, very few, especially in the context of our emphasis on teamwork in China. I am an exception. I cannot judge the background of China's mainstream based on my personal situation, and I cannot deny China's education system because of the lack of Nobel Prizes. This kind of thinking is very ignorant. "

There is another reason, Chen Mo did not say.

The top domestic technologies, except for some unrelated basic theories and other core technologies, are not allowed to be published as papers because of fear of technology leakage.

The issue of papers leaking technology is not new.

Most of the top domestic teams are R&D teams in the official system. They will not publish the top technical papers in order to win a Nobel Prize.

This time, everyone was silent, and many scholars nodded their approval in their hearts.

Because they all know that the Nobel Prize does not represent the highest technical level in the world, but only a relatively advanced and practical technology.

The world's top technology fields, such as nuclear fusion, quantum technology, artificial intelligence, satellites, lasers, etc., are all developed by teamwork. And the world's most advanced technological achievements rarely appear on the stage of the Nobel Prize.

Even the epoch-making theory of relativity did not win the Nobel Prize that year. Hawking was known as a giant of a generation, but he didn't have a Nobel Prize until he left.
