As Zhao Ziming expected, people's worries about abnormal intelligence are far greater than their anxiety about unemployment.

In other words, the former has the goal of venting, while the latter cannot find the direction of hatred.

As soon as the news about "Norman" intelligence came out, it quickly caused an uproar around the world, and many small-scale protest demonstrations broke out, demanding MIT to stop inhumane research and hold relevant personnel accountable.

The Media Lab quickly became the center of the storm.

Zhao Ziming, the rotating chairman of the Academy of Life and Future Sciences, expressed his views on this matter. He said:

"Norman" reflects the very dark facts, indicating that artificial intelligence can learn from the terrifying reality in this world.The algorithm itself is not wrong. The problem is the biased training data, the lack of rigorous research direction, and the negligence of artificial intelligence, which all produce biased AI.

The impact of an evil AI may exceed the maximum estimates of researchers. For example, if AI manipulates public opinion, it may successfully deviate from the direction on a specific issue.

Therefore, we must not tolerate this kind of thing.

Some people often say that technology itself has no right or wrong, and the wrong person is the person who uses it. However, looking at the entire history of science and technology, we will find that good technology has never caused controversy. Every time a controversy is caused, it is this kind of take away. Big deceptive technology.

Therefore, some technology itself is evil, and its existence is wrong. We don’t need to judge its future based on related applications. At this moment of its birth, it proves that this technology is not acceptable. , "Norman" intelligence is such a technology.

As an authority on artificial intelligence, Zhao Ziming's statement is equivalent to a conclusion that countless experts look up to the mountain that is difficult to climb.

Therefore, there is no accident. The first representative meeting of the Institute of Life and Future Sciences, the participants agreed to conduct "investigation-punishment" against the "Norman" intelligence of the media laboratory.

Investigate whether the media laboratory violated the 23 principles of the "Shanghai Consensus".

During the "Artificial Intelligence·Shanghai" summit, when the Digital Group announced the algorithm, everyone agreed that for artificial intelligence research, it is necessary to fully assess the moral hazard and be fully responsible for the artificial intelligence system established.

An important goal of the conference at that time was to bring artificial intelligence security research into the mainstream.

To this end, in his speech, Zhao Ziming proposed four main areas of artificial intelligence security research: verification, validation, security and control.Known as the golden rule that must be followed.

But this time, the media lab was bold and reckless, knowingly committing crimes, no matter from which aspect, Zhao Ziming must show a tough attitude.

Otherwise, the prestige of the entire Future Life Sciences Institute will be lost.

The "Shanghai Consensus" reached before will be worthless, which Zhao Ziming cannot tolerate.

For this opportunity, Zhao Ziming has been waiting. He actually mastered the research project of the MIT Media Lab very early. The reason why he chose to publish it at this moment was to maximize public opinion.

On this kind of big right and wrong issue, especially when the people are unanimously disgusted, the U.S. government is not good at expressly opposing it. It just abstained from voting, demanding that the investigation be open, fair and fair.

It would be almost impossible for Zhao Ziming to reach an agreement within the institute without the current wave of artificial intelligence.

It can be said that he is relying on public opinion to achieve his goals, narrowing public opinion and respecting himself.

According to the latest survey, affected by artificial intelligence, the number of indirect or direct unemployment has risen to one million, and the number of affected people exceeds tens of millions.

The public's anxiety is gathering, as if the Great Depression and the Great Bankruptcy are brewing, and extreme slogans appear on the Internet from time to time.

At this time, more and more cathartic paths are needed.

Almost everyone knows that smart robot companies will pop up all over the world like mushrooms after the rain.

Although none of intelligent robots can match human intelligence, they have gradually replaced human labor in many industries such as manufacturing, transportation, warehousing, retail, construction, mining, agriculture, forestry and fishery.

Everyone may be swept away from these bankrupt companies.

Whether it is a farmer, a marketing director, a truck driver or a commodity trader, in the near future or in the far future, most of the activities of human society to create economically valuable products, that is, our "work", will be completed by artificial intelligence .

The public's anxiety is almost nowhere to rest.

Although the Digital Group invented general intelligence, all giant companies and government agencies have joined this field and launched an arms race. This is not something that can be decided by attacking a company or opposing a country.

In this case, MIT's Media Lab became a target of public criticism.

This is the best time and also the worst time.

Material information is extremely abundant, and science and technology are advancing by leaps and bounds. However, as the spirit of all things, the role of human beings is constantly weakening, and many people feel helpless.

Where is the future going? No one can know the answer.

We cannot ignore the short-term vigilance and fear caused by the increasing power of artificial intelligence and the panic that follows: "How do I feed my family" and "Where do we live".

These worries caused by the emergence of artificial intelligence in real life are issues that we must pay attention to and even discuss.

And one side is sea water, and the other side is flame.

Artificial intelligence has caused public anxiety, the media laboratory is in dire straits, and the "Norman" project team is at stake.

Brilliant company ushered in its own outbreak period.

The news about the listing of Brilliant Games spread like wildfire, and for a while, it attracted countless capitals.

Relying on a phenomenal game "Jiang Hu", the brilliant company that has emerged is the fastest growing and huge company in recent years.

In the past year or so, countless media have continued to analyze, when will it go public?

Now the curtain finally opened.

On May 12, 2016, Brilliant Company released its 2016 first quarter financial report.

The financial report shows that in the first quarter, brilliant revenue was 31.915 billion yuan (21 billion in "Jianghu" games), a year-on-year increase of 116%, and net profit was 22.461 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 95%.

It can be said that Brilliant Company has grown into an empire through a game."Time" magazine used to change an industry to describe the "Jianghu" game.Some players even divide Brilliant companies into two categories, one is Brilliant companies and the other is other companies.

You can make such a metaphor: The significance of "Jiang Hu" in the history of games is to tell everyone what the ultimate game of the 3D era should be done.

As you may know, the movie "Avatar" officially opened the 3D era of movies, so "Jiang Hu" can be regarded as a summary of the 3D era of the game industry.

It not only has more advanced technology and smoother pictures, but also has better stories, more innovation and stronger artistry.

Several sets of data can be used to explain the revolutionary significance of "Jiang Hu".

In 2015, the daily active data of the "Jianghu" game in North America exceeded 10 million, with a peak of 33 million, accounting for one-fifth of the global market share.

In the first quarter of 2016, "Jiang Hu" earned 310 million U.S. dollars in the United States, occupying 90% of the market for large-scale PC-side online games in the United States.

More than one-half of American gamers have a "Jianghu" account.As a result, the export value of domestic film and television entertainment products such as martial arts novels and movies has exceeded 10 billion.

Brilliant game, a battle for the gods.

When this game was launched in the United States, the entire industry was shocked. The Americans who saw Mario after the collapse of Atari once again completely shocked the industry and caused countless discussions and tributes. The players were crazy. Drunk, the game makers cast their five bodies.

The "gameplay" and "innovation" it contains even redefines the concept of video games.

There is also a saying on the Internet that all other companies are electronic entertainment companies, and only Ren Huihuang is a game company.

That said, it's not an exaggeration.

In today's game industry, this "Jianghu" by Brilliant Company is simply Newton who revealed the law of universal gravitation, Copernicus who put forward the heliocentric theory, and Prometheus who stole fire for humans.

In a word, Brilliant Company uses "Jianghu" to tell everyone that this is the game, okay? What you played before was rubbish.

Even the language is weak at the moment. You can find the game videos of some players on the Internet and you can experience the different fun.

From the perspective of the future, from this time, Americans began to worship Chinese game makers and Chinese games, just like Japan 30 years ago.

In ordinary people’s understanding, the United States has always been a very culturally confident country, but only in the field of video games, the god in their hearts is the Chinese.

The game is only a piece of business of the brilliant company, although it is large, it is not the only one.

Brilliant's annual revenue in 2015 exceeded 120 billion. Its main business is divided into four parts: online games, blockchain, social networks, and others.

Online games include: "Jianghu" revenue, "Tianmo" engine, "game" platform;

The blockchain includes: the "Dragon Coin" project and the application of blockchain technology.

Social network: "fun chat" software.

Others: investment in third-party game production, etc.

Before you know it, Brilliance has grown into a giant.

Its every move naturally attracted countless attention. The news of the listing greatly stimulated the entire capital market and reproduced the myth that Ali went public that year and was sought after by countless investment banks.

The valuation given by the capital market exceeds 100 billion U.S. dollars. Although the PE ratio is only five points more, compared with the Internet high-tech companies that are often ten or thirty times higher, the gap is obvious.

However, for the brilliance of such a volume, it is already an obvious positive signal.

Judging from the financial report, although brilliant company's business defects are obvious, the "Jianghu" game is the only one, accounting for more than 70% of the revenue.

As an entertainment product, "Jiang Hu" does not have a long-lasting truth. Now it is in full swing and dominates the world. How many years can it continue in the future?

However, from the perspective of the company's business structure, Brilliant Games has taken its name from the game production company successfully transformed into a technical service provider, firmly controlling the two links of production and sales, "Tianmo" engine, "game" platform The value of "Jiang Hu" will surpass in the future.

As the company’s core asset, the "QuChat" software has been unanimously recognized. The number of users worldwide exceeds 100 million. Users upload more than 20 million photos on "QuChat" every day, which means more than 230 photos are uploaded every second.

Although it is not as good as QQ’s 844 million monthly active users and WeChat’s 980 million monthly active users, FunTalk has no competitors in the game segment.

More importantly, Funchao has more than 30 million overseas users, which is of great strategic significance in some respects.

Countless investment banks are like sharks that smell bloody, chasing wildly. In the case of the market as a whole, everyone wants to get a share.
