Nearly thirty years old, established in science and technology

Chapter 64: So ambitious?
There was a young face in the symposium. He smiled and nodded from time to time, but said nothing.

In fact, speaking from a high position and expressing a pragmatic attitude toward the future are not what Ji Hong is good at.

In addition, he is the youngest among all the people. Even out of respect for the old man, this is the etiquette he should maintain.

"Is this your kid?" Next to Professor Miao Wenlu, an old man in his sixties or seventies asked softly.

"It looks harmless to humans and animals, right? Teacher, let me remind you, don't be fooled by appearances."

"It goes without saying that I can't underestimate him just because of that paper."

The old man shook his head gently: "There are many people who can see through the facts, but there are not many people like him who are cautious yet cautious, yet cautious yet courageous."

"You think very highly of him." Miao Wenlu was a little disgusted. As a teacher, he didn't often praise people like this.

The old man chuckled and said no more.

Ever since he heard about Ji Hong from his proud student, the old man had been paying attention to Ji Hong and what he did.

It is not unusual to be able to correlate the ownership of advanced production tools with the direction of social and economic development.

However, anyone who has studied history knows that every change from an increase in productivity to a change in production relations (that is, a change in the social system) is accompanied by a process of bloodshed and sacrifice.

The backward productive forces will not be willing to be eliminated, while the new and more advanced productive forces are still in their infancy.

The friction between the two is destined to be fierce - although from the general trend of history, it is a social law for advanced things to replace backward things, but this replacement is not always smooth sailing.

And the replacement that can be achieved overnight is not so good. There is a saying - it is called "stop and wait for the people".

Just like the Second Industrial Revolution, advanced industrial machines replaced a large amount of manual labor. This is the replacement of backwardness by the advanced.

But this also caused a large number of handicraftsmen to be directly unemployed, and a series of resistance activities broke out.

If the impact of AI can ultimately be like that of the Second Industrial Revolution, then this moment will really be like that moment.

Perhaps AI can create a large number of new jobs, but if some people of this generation are replaced in a short period of time, it will also cause an uproar.

Perhaps in the course of historical development, this is just a small speck of dust, but if the dust of the times really happens to fall on one person, it will really be a heavy burden.

What the old man admires most about Ji Hong is precisely this - he has studied this very thoroughly and done it very well - he does not release all the most advanced things at once, but guides and induces them step by step. .

Waiting for everyone to recognize, learn, change and adapt.

Including making personal work assistants and other advanced AI tools cheap and easy to obtain for everyone, we are still cautious while being radical, and we consider the whole society while developing ourselves. This is a rare responsibility.

When laws, regulations and industry policies are not perfect, companies rarely consciously restrain themselves and restrict themselves - you must know that doing so will result in a huge loss of profits.

If, during the Second Industrial Revolution, factory owners could share advanced machines and equipment, allowing craftsmen to use advanced equipment easily and cheaply, no one would work day and night, right? Who doesn’t want to take a little more rest, right?
But factory owners are not philanthropic, so why would they do this? This may sound ridiculous!
But what Ji Hong is doing is just like this - different in form, but similar in essence. Is the process of replacing backwardness with advanced ones necessarily accompanied by conflicts? The old man squinted his eyes. He felt that Ji Hong was exploring something new - and he also wanted to see this new thing.

……

"The kid sitting at the end, this is a symposium. Don't just listen with your ears. Say what you think. Young people, it doesn't matter if you are wrong. Speak boldly." The old man's tone was full of encouragement. Even maintenance.

Ji Hong was stunned, not because of anything else, but because he had seen this person before - on the seven o'clock news on national television.

The old man in charge of political research does not often appear in public, but he still appears on important occasions. Ji Hong's current brain can remember it after seeing it once.

This should be just in time to come over for investigation, right? Otherwise Professor Zhang Mingzhen would not have told him!
In this case, the one-on-one arrangement after the symposium must also be cancelled. It's not that he is a coward. People in the media are usually very arrogant, but they can't dare to mess around like "shrews" here.

Just now, Ji Hong saw the microphone of CCTV and thought it was a financial channel or something. But looking at it now, it might be a news and comprehensive channel!

"Seniors and leaders, I originally came here with just my ears to gain experience. However, as the elder said, young people should be a little energetic. Let me also share my views. Before that, Let me show you a short video first.”

The short film is a conversation between Ji Hong and Wang Yao. In the afternoon, Ji Hong found a teacher from the Media Office of Hezhou University and cut it up a little. It was originally intended to be used as debate material, and it just happened to come in handy - —The material is here, how you use it is up to you.

Many people didn't understand why and didn't know what Ji Hong wanted to express.

"Biomedicine, cell engineering, gene editing, nanorobots, synthetic biology... more and more advanced technologies are constantly being reflected and developed, and they are increasingly affecting human life and even survival. HIV now has treatments , doesn’t it benefit from this?
"Then the question is, why is bioengineering one of the four major tiankeng majors in the eyes of students?" Ji Hong asked his soul.

"The same goes for materials. The emergence of each new material may mean a huge technological change, which means that things that could not be done before can now be done. Things that were not done well before can now be done well, such as many New materials are constantly emerging, which is also assisting the rapid development of today's aerospace field!
"The same is true for chemistry, but why are they called the four major sinkholes together?"

Everyone looked at each other. They had never thought in this direction before, and for a while they really couldn't say anything.

However, I probably have an idea in my mind that high-end products are very advanced and valuable, but are they accessible to ordinary people?

"This question," Ji Hong said, "We can compare it with computers. Why are computers so popular? They have become saturated to this extent, and employment is also very difficult. I met a software development training class two days ago. Many people are still They rush in like ducks, so they dive in one head at a time!

"To put it another way, if there are 10 million computers at this time, can computers still be so popular?"

"This young man not only has strong technical ability and strong sense of responsibility, but also has a unique way of thinking." The old man kept nodding:

"This goes back to the difficulty of obtaining production tools - after talking about it in a circle, we still talk about the significance of high-end AI development to the industry."

"I think it's more than that. He has ideas about this area." Miao Wenlu added.

"You mean bioengineering?" the old man wondered.

"It's a tool, maybe not just a bioengineering tool."

"So ambitious?" The old man suddenly realized and his eyes widened!
