When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Chapter 321 The Disadvantages of Technology, the Only God
Yao Qizhi was born in 1946 and is now 69 years old.

At this age, it is hard to say whether there will be any great academic achievements.

Therefore, Yao Qizhi placed his hopes on the "Yao Class", wanting to cultivate a large number of top talents with high quality and high ability, and win fame during his lifetime and after his death.

Yao Qizhi did not have high expectations for Wang Donglai, he just admired Wang Donglai's academic ability.

however.

When Wang Donglai opened his mouth, Yao Qizhi's heart skipped a beat.

"Academician Yao, I want to build an artificial intelligence that belongs to China. There is no upper limit on the investment. The minimum annual investment is no less than 500 million, and it will increase year by year!"

Wang Dong said this firmly and seriously.

Without waiting for Yao Qizhi to speak, Wang Donglai started talking: "Academician Yao, what is the level of computers in our country? You are an expert in this field and have the most say. I won't teach you how to do this."

"I believe that Academician Yao has a deep understanding of the importance of artificial intelligence. This is bound to be the technological trend of the future. Once artificial intelligence is completed, the impact it will have on all aspects of society is unimaginable. In a small sense, it will only liberate productivity and promote the transformation of production relations. In a big sense, the entire form of human society will be greatly impacted, just like the first and second technological revolutions."

"No, it's even more terrifying than these two technological revolutions."

"At that time, humans will be freed from many complicated and arduous activities, which will be completed by robots controlled by artificial intelligence. Humans will only need to enjoy life, which is no different from the great harmony society mentioned in ancient books."

"The biggest change in 5,000 years is actually happening right now, but too many people are in it without even realizing it."

"Academician Yao, I went back and thought about it last night, and I came up with an idea."

Yao Qizhi took over at the right time and said, "Professor Wang, please speak."

After listening to Wang Donglai's long speech, Yao Qizhi's expression became more pensive.

"I would like to cooperate with Academician Yao in the name of Galaxy Technology Company to develop an artificial large model!"

Wang Donglai finally expressed his thoughts.

When Yao Qizhi heard what Wang Donglai said, he was only slightly surprised and then regained his composure.

To be honest, Wang Donglai's idea was a little beyond his expectations, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was normal.

With Yao Qizhi's achievements and reputation in computer science, some major Internet companies offered him high annual salaries, or some institutions waved checks and allowed him to conduct research.

However, faced with these temptations, Yao Qizhi was not very tempted and still chose to substitute teach at Wudaokou.

Therefore, Yao Qizhi was ready to decline Wang Donglai's proposal without even thinking about it.

But since Wang Donglai made this proposal, he was naturally prepared.

Without waiting for Yao Qizhi to refuse, Wang Donglai spoke again to stop Yao Qizhi from refusing.

"I know that Academician Yao wants to stay in school to teach and educate people, and doesn't really want to take on projects."

"But I have a few words to say. I hope Academician Yao will make a decision after listening to me. If you still want to decline after listening to me, I will not pester you any more."

Wang Donglai spoke in a decisive tone, and Yao Qizhi also heard it. He couldn't help but become curious about what kind of words Wang Donglai could say to make him change his mind.

As Yao Qizhi was expecting, Wang Donglai spoke.

"Academician Yao, I'm sure you have a deep understanding of what our country's computer level was like before and what it is like now."

"Academician Yao must be well aware of what kind of project artificial intelligence is, how important it is, and how difficult it is to develop."

"As far as I know, several foreign giants have already invested huge amounts of research and development funds in artificial intelligence."

"Domestic Internet companies are either selling goods, making games, or engaging in social networking. What they are trying to do is to monopolize, euphemistically calling it a track or vertical classification."

“These big companies have high market capitalizations, but how much positive impact do they have on the development of computers?”

"Artificial intelligence cannot be separated from a large data model, and we have the largest population and a large number of people receiving basic education, which is enough to form a very impressive large data model."

"Since its inception, Galaxy Technology has set the principle of putting technology first. The harder the problem, the harder it is to tackle!"

"I am serious about investing 500 million yuan in artificial intelligence every year, and I am serious about setting no upper limit on R&D investment."

"This process may take many years, but as long as Galaxy Technology exists and I still control Galaxy Technology, it can last."

"Academician Yao wants to cultivate world-class computer talents. This requires not only strong teaching staff, but also some difficult projects to hone them. Reading a book a hundred times is not as good as doing it once."

“No top talent can be achieved by studying alone.”

"The artificial data big model is also a win-win situation for the students of the Yao Class and Galaxy Technology."

There is some truth to what he said.

The idea of ​​cooperating with Yao Qizhi only came up yesterday. It is very good to have such an explanation in such a hurry.

However, after hearing what Wang Donglai said, Yao Qizhi did not rush to express his opinion.

The atmosphere in the office gradually became depressing.

After a long while, Yao Qizhi finally said, "Professor Wang, have you ever thought about a question?"

“When artificial intelligence really emerges, human society may not develop as you expect.”

"The scariest thing about artificial intelligence is not just its learning efficiency, but the fact that it will gradually raise the threshold. When machines can replace human jobs at will, many people are doomed to lose their jobs."

"The productivity brought by modern machines is more than a hundred times higher than that of fifty, a hundred, or a thousand years ago. But is the quality of life of modern people like you and me hundreds of times higher than that of people back then?"

"We live in buildings, drive cars, wear warm clothes, and have enough food to eat. Compared with people decades or hundreds of years ago, we are happy."

"However, with the current production efficiency, we can already make everyone live better, with more dignity and a greater sense of happiness."

"Any technology that emerges will eventually be affected by all aspects of society. For example, the discovery of radium has a great effect in the medical field. It can emit radiation to destroy and kill cells and bacteria and is used to treat cancer. However, it was used in atomic bombs, and thus the most terrifying weapon of mankind appeared."

“The emergence of a technology may not always bring positive effects and be good for everyone. If it is used in a different way, it may make things worse.”

At this moment, Wang Donglai's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Yao Qizhi.

In fact, Wang Donglai had naturally thought about what Yao Qizhi said, and he knew that according to the nature of capital, he would inevitably do so.

A small number of people are in charge of the deployment of artificial intelligence, and most people are put into production based on the deployment of artificial intelligence, running around but not dying of exhaustion.

When artificial intelligence develops to its full potential, it will be able to complete all tasks in the fields of agriculture, industry, engineering, scientific research, management, finance, psychology, literature and art, and the significance of human existence will be greatly weakened. And those who control the existence of artificial intelligence will become the contemporary God, the only God, in a certain sense.

This situation will definitely occur to a large extent.

Wang Donglai knew this very well.

Science and technology cannot solve social problems, and neither can the emergence of artificial intelligence. Any technological progress in history has made an irreplaceable contribution to the improvement of the development level of mankind as a whole. However, there has always been the problem of uneven enjoyment of scientific and technological achievements. There has always been the problem that while scientific and technological achievements help ease the original social contradictions, they also further lead to a widening of the social divide.

In fact, after improving his Chinese language, politics and other subjects, Wang Donglai gradually understood the significance of the existence of liberal arts and science.

Chemistry, biology, physics and other science and engineering disciplines help humans transform nature and improve technology, but disciplines such as politics and language also play an important role.

Social sciences need to solve social problems, only in this way can the tools be better utilized.

Economics is trying to solve the "distribution problem" and politics is trying to solve the "rights problem". Before these problems are properly solved, a huge breakthrough in technology may not necessarily be a good thing.

Yao Qizhi just stopped at the point and didn't explain it very clearly, but Wang Donglai understood it.

"Academician Yao, that is why we need to develop artificial intelligence even more. Otherwise, when that day comes, our backwardness in this area will cause our country and even our nation to suffer the same fate as we experienced more than a hundred years ago, or perhaps even worse."

"The development trend of technology is unstoppable and cannot be changed by our will. What we can do is to study technology better and find ways to limit it during the research and development process, rather than retreating out of fear."

"For hundreds of years, the Qing Dynasty chose to close its doors to the outside world, thinking that by not being exposed to advanced technology from outside, it could enjoy eternal prosperity and wealth. However, it was forced to open its doors by powerful ships and cannons. This lesson was enough once."

Wang Donglai naturally would not tell Yao Qizhi his true thoughts.

Artificial intelligence needs to develop and energy problems need to be solved. The next step is to guide humans to turn their eyes to the endless starry sky.

Distribution issues and rights issues will also be slowly resolved through technological innovation.

If there was no system, Wang Donglai would naturally not think so, because this is something that is simply impossible to happen.

However, he possesses a magical existence beyond human imagination.

system.

He has already seen the magic of the abilities and skills provided by the system.

Not to mention that there are so many magical skills and abilities in the system store.

Just a stamp of thought can allow Wang Donglai to do all this!
As for other abilities and skills, they can also achieve the same effect when combined.

With such a magical system plug-in, Wang Donglai is naturally full of confidence.

This confidence is also reflected in Wang Donglai's tone.

Hearing Wang Donglai's impassioned answer and the youthful vigor and confidence of the boy, a trace of nostalgia flashed in Yao Qizhi's eyes, as if he was thinking of himself.

"call……"

Yao Qizhi let out a long breath and felt somewhat touched after listening to Wang Donglai's words.

"Professor Wang, you and I are just small professors. Some things are too far away from us, and some problems are not something we should worry about."

"It is undeniable that what you said makes sense, so I changed my mind."

"Professor Wang is so young and can do this. I, an old guy, can't fall too far behind!"

"Leave the artificial large model to me, but I need to confirm again, Mr. Wang, are you sure you want to stick with it? Once the artificial large model project is launched, it will require a lot of money and manpower, and it will not be completed overnight. It requires continuous and long-term investment."

"In addition, if Mr. Wang wants to develop a more intelligent artificial intelligence, then it is impossible to have only one set of artificial large models. Other artificial large models also need to invest resources in research and development."

"In this case, an investment of 500 million yuan a year may not be enough in the future, and once research and development is stopped, it may be worthless."

"When it comes to business, Mr. Wang is both a researcher and a businessman. Sometimes, researchers have a kind of idealism, which is sometimes a good thing, but sometimes it is not necessarily so."

"Sometimes, the identities of a businessman and a scientific researcher conflict with each other. Mr. Wang, have you thought about how to deal with this conflict?"

"One year, two years, three years, more than a billion yuan has been invested, but there is no result. We have to continue to increase investment. Not to mention the financial pressure, we don't know how many years we have to persist. This is enough to discourage many companies. Can Mr. Wang persist?"

At his age, Yao Qizhi has seen too much.

It is said that knowing the world is knowledge, and understanding human nature is writing. Yao Qizhi has achieved academic results today, so his IQ is naturally not a problem.

The questions raised are also extremely sharp.

If Wang Donglai's answer is not satisfactory to him, he may not agree to cooperate with Wang Donglai.

The matter was of great importance, so Yao Qizhi unconsciously changed the way Wang Donglai addressed him from Professor Wang to Mr. Wang.

The change in the name actually shows Yao Qizhi's attitude.

Wang Donglai also understood this, smiled confidently, and said, "Academician Yao, I have considered the issue you raised, and now I can tell you firmly."

"From the beginning of its establishment to now and in the future, Galaxy Technology will not change its core purpose of relying on technology."

"I am both a businessman and a scientific researcher, so I understand the importance of technology and the significance of persistence."

"To be realistic, once artificial intelligence technology achieves a breakthrough, the previously invested funds will receive a double return."

"As for whether the technology can be broken through, I have the confidence!"

The words seemed a little calm, but they were filled with Wang Donglai's unparalleled firmness.

Having said that, there won't be any big problems with the cooperation.

Of course, such a major cooperation will not be finalized so easily. It still requires signing a contract and a series of other things.

At the very least, we need to inform Wudaokou.

After completing this task, Wang Donglai also visited the research center under the leadership of Yao Qizhi.

At this time, a white-haired old man appeared in front of Wang Donglai.

When he saw Wang Donglai, a light flashed in the old man's eyes.
