Digital Kingdom

"Simultaneous interpretation", Jill's face was as deep as water.

"Oh", Joe blinked and didn't say a word. What's weird about this. Wasn't it all simultaneous interpretation?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and Joe was cold and trembling, "You mean...",

Jill nodded, not wanting to speak any more.

Joe slumped down on the sofa, desperate in his heart.

The artificial intelligence finally revealed its fangs before the world.

Unexpectedly, the first cut was cut to the translator.

Before, he wondered why Zhao Ziming used English to speak. Judging from his previous performance, Zhao Ziming has a nationalist tendency and it is impossible to speak English in order to cater to everyone.

It's only now suddenly realized that it turned out to be simultaneous interpretation.

Qiao took off the headphones and he heard that Zhao Ziming was using Chinese.

English is also spoken in the headset.

You must know that his speech is not just transcripts, reading manuscripts, there are a lot of improvisations, even some small humor has been translated.

This is terrible.

There was a blank in his brain, and Joe wanted to say something, but his mouth was dry.

Amid Faljaoui, editor-in-chief of Roularta French magazine, once predicted that translation would disappear in 2025.

Unexpectedly, it came ten years earlier.

With an irresistible momentum, it suddenly arrived without warning.

Joe thought of spending a lot of time learning Chinese and French, and was at a loss.

"Not just English," Jill said next to him.

Joe looked around. Although foreigners looked similar to the Chinese, Joe could easily see the French and Germans.

Some people were immersed in the speech, and some people found a clue and turned to look.

"God bless America," Joe said silently in his heart.

Not to mention the impact of artificial intelligence on the translation industry, from the general trend, we can also see the threat posed by artificial intelligence.

Who will be next?

There was a commotion in the venue slowly, and more and more people noticed the simultaneous interpretation, and the buzzing noise began to sound.

Zhao Ziming paused on stage in the first battle situation, attracted everyone's attention again, and said with a smile,

"It seems that everyone has noticed our old friend, Xiaozhi. Say hello to everyone."

"Hello everyone", a neutral electronic speaker plays.

At the same time, English, French, and German languages ​​were heard in the headset.

"Wow," the whole venue boiled instantly.

The vague guess was directly confirmed, bringing an unparalleled impact,

Surprise, excitement, shock, panic.

"Everyone has a lot of questions, let's pick a few friends as representatives." Zhao Ziming naturally expected this.

Since he has launched simultaneous interpretation, he has the confidence to deal with the coming storm.

Xiaozhi's translation ability definitely exceeds the existing machine translation by several levels.

"Huh", countless arms are raised, like a forest.

"Friends in black suits," Zhao Ziming clicked at random when he saw this.

He doesn't need to arrange care, and he has strong confidence to deal with any situation.

"Hello, Mr. Zhao, I’m Jaan Tallinn from Skype. My question is that, in addition to professional knowledge and sufficient knowledge reserves, a good translator must also understand the cultural customs of the relevant country and be able to use the native language well. To accurately express and deliver information, which step has Xiaozhi reached now",

Jaan is a standard American personality and asked directly.

Skype is an instant messaging software with more than 600 million users worldwide. It was acquired by Microsoft in 11 years and replaced MSN as a world-class brand and the main competitor of the brilliant company "QuChat".

Zhao Ziming naturally knew who Jaan was, and he pondered for a moment and explained,

"If we say that artificial intelligence is characterized by simulating humans, Xiaozhi currently cannot truly simulate human thinking, but Xiaozhi already has the professional knowledge and communication skills required for perfect translation. It has analytical capabilities and can understand phrases or sentences. Understand the context and content of the context."

The venue was a sensation. Although everyone was prepared, no one would have thought that Xiaozhi's translation ability was beyond imagination.

Zhao Ziming's meaning is obvious. At present, Xiaozhi has the ability to eliminate the profession of "translation".

The news spread, and the stocks of several listed companies are expected to fall disastrously.

"Then what's the shortcoming of it?" Jaan paused and continued to ask. It seemed that he was also surprised by Xiaozhi's ability.

"Sometimes, the translation of some literary works requires the creativity and analytical ability of translators to solve in depth. After all, Xiaozhi is not a human being, and there are certain shortcomings in this respect."

After Zhao Ziming finished speaking, everyone was even more excited.

Everyone knows that language is a communication tool, and artificial intelligence cannot fully understand human emotions if it is not fully personified.

But Xiaozhi's ability has surpassed 99% of human translators.

After all, most translators are just dealing with daily communication. How many master translators can reach the level of'faithfulness, expressiveness and elegance' in the world.

Even if Xiaozhi's level is not up to the level of daily communication, relying on the cost advantage, he can still kill ordinary translation.

Not to mention, showing such an anthropomorphic communication level, once it is promoted, unemployment will be at hand for translators.

Jaan sat down in despair, "Fun Chat" has artificial intelligence blessings, and the crisis of Skype is coming.

Although "Fun Chat" used the east wind of "Jiang Hu" to attack the city and plunder the village all the way, it seemed to be invincible, but its stamina was weak.

Jaan is not so worried, with Skype's huge user accumulation, it can crush all challengers.

Just like Penguin Group’s WeChat, after Xiaomi’s Michao users surpassed 50 million, they were still easily overtaken. It is conceivable how much advantage the user base brings.

Of course, this is based on existing technology. If "Fun Chat" is equipped with artificial intelligence, the technical advantage is enough to offset any first-mover advantage.

In Sun Zhengyi's words, during the Meiji Restoration, an army equipped with firearms could crush all well-trained opponents.

At this time, it is not at all competing in the same latitude, dimensionality reduction strikes, only the part of the beating, there is no force to fight back.

This is not an exaggeration. It is not long after Xiaozhi's launch that he has overcome the global problem of communication barriers. The hidden horror is daunting.

"How do you say it in Chinese, this is called Xia Mawei," Joe recovered and whispered to Jill.

Jill didn't speak, he naturally saw Zhao Ziming's deep meaning. If you want to achieve some results at this summit, it is impossible to be gentle.

Major enterprises and related organizations do not see rabbits or scatter eagles, and their interests are different. Without any skill, I am afraid that any scheme will be in vain.

Zhao Ziming's introduction of smart translation is to imply that everyone is the boss.
