"Mr. Chen Mo, do you think it is too early to talk about the future city?" It is a Western elite who stands up and asks questions. It is the management of a company.

After Chen Mo’s speech was over, the people in the audience below did not calm down. For many people, the smart city described by Chen Mo has a long way to go.

"Not early, give you a time concept. In the next five years, if there is no accident, Binhai will be the prototype of a smart city."

Chen Mo denied shaking his head and said.

"The artificial intelligence unified platform has emerged. Our company's 'artificial intelligence +' platform is to build a smart core. Urban brain, artificial intelligence + traffic, artificial intelligence + building, artificial intelligence + electrical appliances, artificial intelligence + office, artificial intelligence + Life, etc. These are no longer movies.

Our company headquarters, as well as staff quarters, have realized the concept of 'artificial intelligence +', which is being promoted to the coastal city or 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 the public on the sidewalk traffic lights has dropped by 15 seconds. In a city of several million people, this is a terrible number.

The traffic congestion rate in Binhai City has dropped by more than 70% compared with the same period of the previous year. Even during the peak period of commuting, there will be no large-scale traffic jams. Urban road infrastructure is best utilized under the analysis of big data and artificial intelligence. Then, as long as the unmanned traffic is popular, the foundation of the smart city will be formed. This day, it will not be too far. ”

Chen Mo’s words caused a commotion below.

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

"Mr. Chen Mo, we all know that Gates, Musk and other big men have many experts who are worried that artificial intelligence will bring crisis to mankind. Why do you know that artificial intelligence will not bring crisis to mankind? Smart city, don't worry that artificial intelligence will control humans and destroy humans?"

"Why am I more sure than them? Because I am more professional than them. Say a little bit, the current AI company is the most advanced artificial intelligence, I am the person who knows the most about artificial intelligence."

Chen Mo gave an answer. This question is not the first time he heard it.

"Artificial intelligence brings crisis to mankind? It is possible, but the probability is pitiful. There are countless things that destroy human beings, a special variant of the infectious virus, a big meteorite hitting the earth, nuclear war, the earth's own climate change, from the universe. The radiation, or the sudden emergence of three extracorporeal stars.

The probability that artificial intelligence will destroy human beings exists, but according to statistical calculations, this probability is about the end of the world. You have to be clear that human beings cannot hand over nuclear warheads to artificial intelligence control, and science fiction movies are deceptive.

Whether it will bring crisis to mankind is determined by human beings. In a strict sense, artificial intelligence is just a tool created by humans, a tool that makes humans powerful.

In the wilder era, the ancestors created tools to overcome the nature and survive and evolve, creating swords and guns and killing wars. Is it a knife and a gun to destroy human beings? No, these tools just make humans stronger. What destroys mankind is human desire and madness, and has nothing to do with tools, even if it is a high-level tool.

When a gun is fired and the car is out of control, it will be dead. The first time for human beings is to find the cause and repair the damaged tool. It is impossible to let it freely run out of control. Will humans abolish all cars because they accidentally run out of control? impossible.

The artificial intelligence in the movie is completely out of control, making robots kill humans, and the probability is almost the same as all nuclear bombs.

Future space development, interstellar exploration, and artificial intelligence are the best tools. Human beings want to be stronger, relying on weak bodies and limited power to detect infinite stars. Artificial intelligence is an inevitable megatrend. You are worried that artificial intelligence will destroy human beings. It is better to worry about tomorrow, whether artificial intelligence will replace your job. This idea is more practical. ”

There was a round of applause. Chen Mo’s metaphor is just right, people can’t refute and persuade is very big.

Soon, another figure stood up and took the microphone and stood up.

"Mr. Chen Mo, as far as I know, you Huaxia, you are the first to win the Nobel Prize in Physics. Why is your country so few natural science awards? Does this mean that your country's education is very backward? Is technology backward? "The open person has a ridicule in his voice.

Suddenly jumped to this question, Chen Mo slightly glimpsed, did not put the other party's taunting tone in mind.

"Actually, this is also the question I want to ask. I dare to ask everyone here, why are there so few Nobel Prizes in our country? Are we behind in education? Is our country underdeveloped?"

Chen Mo went straight and shook his head.

"If Huaxia education is backward, why is China's technological achievements and economic achievements in the forefront of the open for more than 40 years? Even some areas of science and technology have become the leader? This is the result of education backwardness? Those If Huaxia Education is backward, it does not understand China, but it is just a frog at the bottom of the well."

Chen Mo’s words were spread throughout the venue through simultaneous translation. Hearing the irony in the answer, the person who stood up and asked the question, his face turned red, and he felt the gaze around him, and he seemed to be watching the clown.

Regardless of his reaction, Chen Mo continued to speak.

"As for why the Chinese won the Nobel Prize is less? Have you thought about the reasons?"

Chen Mo paused, everyone on the field was quiet, thinking about Chen Mo's words, but also thinking about the reasons.

"First of all, the science and technology tree of the natural sciences is mainly based on the education economy. The achievements are branches and branches, as well as leaves and flowers. The Nobel Prize is just a better inadvertent loan from the technology tree. Sweeter fruit. Will you deny all the fruits of this tree because of only a few good fruits?"

Chen Mo’s voice fell, and many people nodded on the field, and the applause thundered.

The Nobel Prize is only a prominent point in many scientific achievements, and it does not mean all. They recognize the Nobel Prize, but they all know that the Nobel Prize does not represent the overall level of a country.

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

And some of the things in the Nobel Prize, Chen Mo is not bad.

In the 40 years after the October Revolution in Russia, and in the more than a decade of the US-Soviet hegemony, the Soviet Union’s Natural Science Nobel Prize was all blank. Especially during the Cold War, the Soviet Union’s scientific and technological strength once surpassed the United States. A steady stream of new technologies was discovered, but none of the Nobel Prizes were won. The United States won many awards during the same period.

These are very obvious evidence.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia’s relations with the parties improved, and the performance was even more apparent.

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

There are no Chinese scientists in the Nobel Prize committee. Why are there fewer Chinese natural science awards? Does the technology not say that even a person who recommends and speaks for it does not have a prize? 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 will not speak publicly on such a stage, and he will do it in his heart.

"The second reason is that the development of modern top technology is no longer the era of personal heroes. The winner of the Nobel Prize can only be shared by a limited two or three people. As far as I know, China's top technology research and development, Mainly based on the team. A top team is limited to five or six people, and more than one hundred people.

The results of the team's research and development, the credit is attributed to two or three people, which is not realistic.

Taking insulin as an example, when the Chinese synthetic insulin was used, Huaxia did not apply for the Nobel Prize in the same year because the number of R&D team exceeded the number of the Nobel Prize. It is unacceptable to attribute the collective results to a few people.

Nowadays, one or two people have developed advanced technologies that lead the world in science and technology, and there are very few, especially in the context of our China team emphasis on teamwork. I am an exception. I can't measure the background of our mainstream China in my own situation. I can't deny the Chinese education system because of the lack of promises. This idea is very ignorant. ”

There is another reason, Chen Mo did not say.

The most advanced technology in the country, unless some irrelevant basic theory, other core technologies are not allowed to be published as a paper, because of fear of technology leaks.

The paper leaks technology is not new.

Most of the top teams in the country are R&D teams in the official system. They will not publish a top technical paper for a Nobel Prize.

This time, everyone is silent, and many scholars nod their approval in their hearts.

Because they all know that the Nobel Prize is not the highest level of technology in the world, but only a more advanced and more practical technology.

The world's top technology areas, such as nuclear fusion, quantum technology, artificial intelligence, satellite, laser, etc., are all team-based research and development. And the most advanced technological achievements in the world are rarely seen on the stage of the Nobel Prize.

Even the epoch-making theory of relativity did not win the Nobel Prize in the past. Hawking was called a generation of giants, but until he left, there was no Nobel Prize.
