Top of the Great Era

Zhou Buqi said: "The computing power of the mobile phone is definitely not enough. We must solve the problem of computing power. It is best to cooperate with supercomputers to promote an artificial intelligence product that can cause a world sensation!"

"What is it?"

Shen Xiangyang's eyes were burning, and his heart was burning.

He knows that his team made some mistakes this time, so no matter what kind of AI product he will develop next, he will go all out to make up for this mistake.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Study IBM?"

"Huh? A quiz show?" Shen Xiangyang frowned, put down the coffee in his hand, and said with a little confusion: "Playing chess? Chess?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Learning is not copying. IBM solved chess with artificial intelligence in the 90s. What's the point of following up? There are so many AI software for chess now, and they are all better than those of the past." "Dark Blue" is strong. But it is "Dark Blue" that can truly leave a legacy to the world and have long-term effects."

Shen Xiangyang also knew that the idea of ​​chess was unreliable, "Chess is not good, how about chess? I'm afraid it's even worse. Chess is not as complicated as chess. As for other chess..."

Zhou Buqi interrupted him, "Go!"

"Go?"

Even the CEO of Google, Larry Page, has become his little fan, and his momentum can be even more powerful.

I feel that communicating with this kind of scientist should not be too sloppy, and you have to speak clearly.

IBM's "Deep Blue" defeated the chess master Garry Kasparov, and it was not achieved overnight.

Zhou Buqi said: "It's a bit big to say, but at least human beings are better than artificial intelligence in the calculation and cognition of Go. This is like a fig leaf. If Ziweixing can lift this fig leaf, it will not only Let the belief of the whole Go world collapse, and it will cause a global emotional shock. The influence it brings to the world will not be much worse than IBM's Deep Blue back then!"

But here is where the difficulty lies.

Shen Xiangyang almost laughed out loud. This boss Zhou is really a history buff. In the management of the company, he put on the face of a history teacher at every turn, and began to use historical stories as teaching materials.

Zhou Buqi said: "Now, human beings have only the last line of defense for dignity and confidence, and that is intelligence. From an evolutionary point of view, human beings are not as strong as cows and horses, but they can secure their position in the entire natural world. , relying on the collective intelligence based on cooperation, which is reflected in many aspects such as learning ability, reasoning ability, and analysis ability. This is also the reason why Homo sapiens can exterminate other species of human beings and survive to become the master of the earth. In terms of intelligence , any creature in nature known so far cannot be compared with human beings in almost any aspect."

Shen Xiangyang coughed and said solemnly: "Compared with 'Dark Blue', this is feasible. But compared with the three major cognitive challenges in human history, it may still be worse."

Zhou Buqi looked at him with a smile, "Can you play Go?"

Without innovative uniqueness, how can Ziweixing stand out?Only by drawing a better pie than other companies can Ziwei Star have a stronger talent attraction.

Shen Xiangyang was a little surprised, and felt that the big boss's words were a bit too much.

What matters is awareness.

it's fine.

It needs to be marketed, publicized, and hyped in the market.Let the whole world know that Ziweixing's AI team is doing a major event that is about to change the world.

"You don't believe it?" Zhou Buqi glanced at him, "In history, human self-esteem has been severely challenged and hit three times."

This strategy has been successful.

Shen Xiangyang said in a deep voice: "So next we will develop a Go-like AI product, and then represent artificial intelligence to challenge the world's top Go players!"

Not only can enjoy the supreme industry status in the field of artificial intelligence, but also have greater choice in the recruitment of talents.

Shen Xiangyang has a say in this.

Draw a pie that is completely different from other people's homes!

In addition to NASA, Google's competitiveness for talents is the first in the world, and it is also because Google has too many magical and challenging scientific research propositions that may change the world.

There are too many scientific research laboratories in Silicon Valley. When talents are choosing a career, why choose you instead of me?Pick me instead of him?Most of the time, they are attracted by scientific research projects.

Shen Xiangyang now understood the meaning of Boss Zhou, "This AI project for playing Go really wants to compete with the three major theories of 'heliocentric theory', 'evolution theory' and 'sex instinct' in the same sky. Not realistic. However, this does not prevent Ziweixing from providing scientific and technological talents with a wonderful imagination space, so that their scientific research results can be compared with the great contributions made by Copernicus, Darwin, and Freud to mankind."

Zhou Buqi said: "I don't know how to play Go either, but I learned a little bit about some algorithms of Go last night, which is much more difficult than chess and chess."

Zhou Buqi said slowly: "The top technical talents will not only work for wages, they will be attracted by projects like Rokid-go that are expected to change the world."

Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, Go requires a high level of deep learning ability. There are too many possibilities for Go. It seems that... I don't know if it is true or not. I read the article and said that a game of Go with 150 rounds may appear. The number of changes is more than the total number of atoms in the universe. Even when playing Go, the selection of moves depends on the intuition formed by accumulated experience, which has led to a lot of philosophical thinking in the field of Go. Exploring through different concepts To understand Go, people in the Go industry even compare the chessboard to the entire universe.”

"Old Shen, there is milk for a crying child."

Zhou Buqi said: "Go back and discuss with Lu Qi, and assign a vice president in the marketing field to your team to assist you in your work. Don't take this as a business atmosphere that hinders scientific research. On the contrary, this It is helping scientific research. You said that doing scientific research, what is the most important thing?"

In a very short period of time, Ziweixing's appeal surpassed that of Baidu and became the most competitive company in China.

Zhou Buqi was speechless.

Be sure to draw a big pie.

This event marketing has won countless praises and expectations for IBM, and enabled IBM to successfully complete its strategic adjustment and industrial transformation from hardware to software.

Shen Xiangyang nodded, and he knew it, "Well, since 'Deep Blue' defeated human chess players, artificial intelligence has shown very powerful computing capabilities in many fields. But in the field of Go, it has not been conquered for a long time. Go requires too much computing power, and the algorithm is too complex."

Those with international ambitions are attracted by "multinational corporations", those with a strong sense of justice are attracted by "ideas of fairness and justice", those who want to make a lot of money are attracted by "unlisted option packages", and those with higher technological pursuits are attracted by Attracted by cutting-edge hard-core technological propositions such as "artificial intelligence", "chip design", and "cloud computing".

"Is it?"

At the same time, with the development of the times, the data explosion.

Shen Xiangyang's heart was tangled like a thread, "So you want to destroy the last line of defense left by human beings, the intellectual line of defense."

Especially the management of the scientific research team, this is a very complicated job. The more scientists are, the more skilled they are, the more eccentric and withdrawn their tempers are, and the more difficult it is to communicate.

To provide the outside world with such a basis for thinking.

It is impossible to process the massive data on the cloud computing platform manually, and it must be processed by artificial intelligence.

Indeed, management requires skill.

Shen Xiangyang replied, "Talent."

"It really is."

Whether it is true or not is not important.

There is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not fast.

Shen Xiangyang shook his head, "No, I just know some rules."

Zhou Buqi said: "A lot of times, publicity is just to attract attention and gain attention. Especially for team building, drawing big cakes is more important than immediate benefits. Quenching the thirst of the plum blossoms can stimulate the combat effectiveness of the army and rush all the way; Thirsty, the soldiers will be busy eating plums and lose their immediate combat power."

Zhou Buqi said: "Only by joining the most difficult and challenging projects can we hone people's abilities, reflect the value of talents, and cultivate real top talents. To attract talents, feelings and dreams must be inevitable. To put it bluntly, it is to draw an attractive pie.”

Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, it is talent. However, in the Silicon Valley recruitment market, Ziweixing is really not as competitive as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon and other leading technology giants. To attract the best talents, You must draw the most beautiful pancake!"

Nine times out of ten it can't be done.

In other words, whose AI technology level is strong, to a large extent means whose cloud computing platform has a higher level of technology!
This indirectly played a positive role in fueling Ziweiyun's market development.

"what?"

At the beginning, this product was called "Shensi", and I tried it a few times, but I couldn't download it.

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Yes, Go is the most difficult problem in this field. In addition to AI technology, it also needs to be supported by super powerful computing power. Coincidentally, the Ziwei Cloud platform can Provide this kind of super computing power. As long as our AI products are developed and successfully defeated the top Go players, then this event will be enough to rise to a revolutionary level in history.”

Shen Xiangyang was slightly taken aback.

Later, the product was upgraded, with an algorithmic iteration, it was renamed "Dark Blue", and it was finally able to tie the game.Later, until the decisive battle in 1997, "Deep Blue" finally defeated Kasparov in one fell swoop, causing a sensation in the world.

In this way, the role of Ziweixing's brand premium is reflected.

Zhou Buqi didn't seem to be joking at all, "First, the 'heliocentric theory' proposed by Copernicus overturned the 'earth-centered theory'. For the first time, human beings reluctantly admit that they are not the center of the universe."

Now, similar routines are about to be implemented in overseas markets.

Now is the chance.

Shen Xiangyang was silent.

NASA's salary is so low, but the scientific research projects are so fascinating that people are willing to work overtime for free and forget about food and sleep for a long time, because NASA is exploring the mysteries of the universe, which is so exciting.

At that time, Ziweixing drew five or six big pies for the market one after another: multinational companies, the concept of fairness, openness and transparency, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, chip design, unlisted option packages, etc.

"what?"

Shen Xiangyang was lost in memory. He remembered that he used to work in China. Boss Zhou led Ziweixing to rise up in the country. When he went to compete with giants such as Baidu, Ali, Penguin, and Netease, he also played similar routines.

Shen Xiangyang was slightly taken aback.

Shen Xiangyang automatically ignored the last private goods he carried, and said in a deep voice: "Indeed, these three major blows have given human beings a crueler self-knowledge."

In the past few years, Zhou Buqi did not have much confidence to pass on his meager experience to such a world-class scientist, after all, he was too young.

Shen Xiangyang immediately followed. This is all common sense knowledge, and said with a smile: "There is also Darwin's theory of evolution. Humans discovered that they evolved from apes, and lost the sanctity and nature of God's creation of humans." nobility."

"Yes." Zhou Buqi nodded, "The third is Freud. His psychological theory of 'human instinct' pointed out that human behavior itself does not have absolute nobility and special significance. The pursuit itself is no different from that of animals. In fact, I agree with this point of view the most. Our traditional culture is either 'human nature is good' or 'human nature is evil', which are too emotional. In fact, it should be 'based on animals. The human instinct of sex', 'humanity is an animal'. Acquired education and growth is the transformation from animal nature to human nature."

Whether it can be done, not sure.

If you want to manage a scientific research team that focuses on cutting-edge fields, you must adopt the necessary management routines to twist everyone's strength into one rope.

The technology giants in Silicon Valley also have similar ideas about the beautiful pies drawn by Ziweixing in China, and they even do better than Ziweixing.

Shen Xiangyang said: "Chess... including international chess, all have a clear goal, and value calculations can be carried out between each piece. But the way to play Go is largely based on the emotional judgment of the shape of the chess."

But it's different now.

"What perceptual judgment?" Zhou Buqi smiled disapprovingly, "Nowadays Go players just think Go is too high. Understand based on perceptual knowledge, and make some ambiguous play choices. Before AI conquered chess, no one believed that pure computer computing power could surpass human judgment on higher-level perceptual thinking.”

There are brands, talents and markets.

Three birds with one stone!
In the previous life, such an opportunity was seized by Google. Relying on the sensation of AlphaGo, Google established its dominance in the field of AI in one fell swoop, and even brought Google Cloud to a strong rise.

In fact, this is imitating IBM's "Dark Blue" and "Watson" routes.The difference is that Google's technical level is stronger, and the AI ​​products launched are more powerful, and the market effect will be more obvious.

Now that Zhou Buqi has broken through IBM's "little trick" of transforming to cloud computing through artificial intelligence, how can it give IBM a chance?Not to mention IBM, even Google's chance is gone!
Such an important epoch-making event in the field of artificial intelligence, and Ziweixing will take care of it, so I won’t bother Larry Page, a good friend.

If he has time and energy, he should do a good job of Google+ and Twitter!
