Chapter 1515 Barbara Doesn't Believe Niu Xiaoqiang Can Win
Niu Xiaoqiang got into the car, Barbara got into the cab, started the car and rushed to the airport.

Barbara felt a little worried about what Niu Xiaoqiang was going to do. While driving, she couldn't help asking: "Listen to my brother, you are going to compete with Stanford University's intelligent program this time, Niu Xiaoqiang, are you really confident of winning?"

Barbara was worried that Niu Xiaoqiang would lose face, and she was about to attend the black card annual meeting. If Niu Xiaoqiang lost face at this time, he might be laughed to death at the black card annual meeting.At that time, everyone would definitely say that Niu Xiaoqiang was overreaching, trying to challenge the computer with human power.They will selectively ignore that Niu Xiaoqiang is one of the few people in the world who has the strength to challenge the intelligent program, and will only focus on Niu Xiaoqiang's failure. This is human nature.

Niu Xiaoqiang knew Barbara's worries, so he chuckled: "You can rest assured that there will be no outsiders present during the challenge, so everyone doesn't know who did it. They only know that I am from MIT. It doesn't matter if my name is leaked, anyway, I don't rely on my name for a living, so it won't have much impact, this is also my personal attitude, I don't want to expose myself too much to the public's attention Therefore, even if I do lose, it will be MIT’s face, and the consequences are not too serious for me personally.”

Barbara snorted, and then asked: "That's good. If you really lose, you'd better leave California immediately, so as not to be photographed by the good news media."

As soon as Niu Xiaoqiang heard it, he knew that Barbara did not have the slightest confidence in challenging the intelligent program, and he was not angry. Before that, Professor Watson and Big Robert also did not believe that they had this ability. Both of them knew their own strength. She still doesn't have confidence in herself, let alone Barbara who doesn't understand her own strength.

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and asked back: "Barbara, you seem to have no confidence in me. You keep saying what should I do if I lose. What if I win?"

Barbara couldn't help laughing and said: "Niu Xiaoqiang, it's not that I underestimate you, it's just that the difficulty of this matter is too high. The program developed by Stanford University defeated the world's top chess masters. You are not a professional chess player." Is chess player better than those top masters? Although I don’t know much about advanced computer technology, I still understand the principles of computers. After all, you are going to compete with computers in terms of computing power. Even if the human brain No matter how powerful it is, it will definitely not be able to compare with computers in terms of computing power, so I have no confidence in you because of the above. "

Niu Xiaoqiang continued to smile: "Barbara, why don't we make a bet, if I lose, I will give you a top-end model of Packard for free, if you lose, you can see for yourself Just do it."

Barbara nodded happily: "If I lose, I will buy ten of the highest-end models of Packard cars and give them to my relatives and friends, and let them advertise you for free."

Niu Xiaoqiang laughed: "Then it's settled."

Barbara laughed a few times, and then got down to business: "We still need to make some preparations for participating in the black card annual meeting. I hope you can spare as much time as possible to cooperate with me."

Niu Xiaoqiang asked curiously: "I have prepared the yacht and McLaren, what else do I need to prepare?"

Barbara replied: "It's mainly your personal style and clothing, which need to be taken care of. After all, the black card annual meeting is an extremely high-end occasion, and it is not appropriate to dress too casually."

Niu Xiaoqiang wondered: "I'm going to accompany Ms. Yu to New York for inspection, I'm afraid I don't have enough time."

Barbara asked, "What are you going to take Miss Yu to investigate?"

Niu Xiaoqiang said honestly: "Ms. Yu's garment company is planning to open several specialty stores on Fifth Avenue in New York to enter the American market. This requires renting stores in advance. The main content of our investigation is to select suitable stores. .”

Barbara thought for a while, and then said: "I know a few acquaintances in New York, who can help with the business of the store, so that you can spare time to cooperate with me, do you think it's okay?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "If you can really help rent a shop, I will definitely cooperate with you."

Baba hummed: "Look at me when the time comes, I promise I will try my best."

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and said thank you, and then chatted with Barbara.An hour later, Niu Xiaoqiang took off with Yu Simei and headed for the west coast of the United States.

While the plane was flying, Professor Watson announced the news that Niu Xiaoqiang challenged the intelligent program.

He found more than a dozen friends from the media who were more acquainted, and said something that could be called arrogant in front of these people: "Everyone, I would like to inform you of an important news. After serious consideration by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , we will send a student to verify the intelligent program developed by Stanford University, and directly compete with this intelligent program to see if it is really as good as Stanford University claims."

Watson showed a slight smile when he said this, and everyone could see the look of arrogance and disdain from his smile: "To be honest, we have serious doubts about the reliability of this program. MIT is the leader in the field of intelligence. We are pioneers and have always been at the top of this field. We do not think that any smart program at this stage can meet the design requirements, so we have not publicly released any smart program. This is because we want to do Best of all, if we are not sure, we will not come up with eye-catching gimmicks to increase our popularity.”

The meaning of these words couldn’t be more obvious: MIT can’t understand Stanford University’s eye-catching behavior in the field of intelligence, and plans to use human power to defeat the opponent’s so-called intelligent program, and hit Stanford University in the face on the spot.

The news sense of the reporters is very sensitive. The dozens of people present immediately realized the huge topicality contained in the news. After a very short silence, the reporters immediately asked questions like cannonballs:
"Can I understand this as MIT's all-out war on Stanford?"

"I don't know who you are going to send to carry out this difficult task? Can you let him meet with us?"

"Professor, Stanford University's intelligent program has been tested by the world's top chess masters. Several chess masters have all been defeated by this intelligent program. Are you really sure that MIT can defeat it with human power? "
