Reborn multinational giant

Chapter 618: Speech at ETH Zurich

"Although today, whether it is Google, Bing or other search engines, they are trying their best to introduce AI technology to help us find the information we want more accurately, but in my opinion, all this is far from enough.

We don’t care, search engines search out all kinds of messy entertainment news for us, we don’t care, search for a person’s name, and the first thing that comes out is a popular star, not a scientist who has made great contributions to human civilization.

But we can’t help but, the search engine will tell all kinds of false and pseudo-scientific medical knowledge on the Internet to the patients who are seeking medical advice. Only last year, the global medical accidents caused by false medical information on the Internet , There will be as many as hundreds of thousands.

A bastard politician in power said to vote that drinking dish soap can kill germs in the stomach. Some people believed it, and ended up being admitted to the hospital for gastric lavage. We cannot tolerate the spread of such false information on the Internet.

Today, the Internet is flooded with all kinds of knowledge. If we try to avoid the dissemination of pseudo-scientific knowledge mentioned above, even normal knowledge acquisition still has great problems and inconvenience.

The popularity of smartphones and mobile Internet has made everyone a producer of information. With the same knowledge, it may be disseminated by tens of thousands of people on the Internet through thousands of channels at the same time. Although this greatly facilitates the development of knowledge Dissemination, but there are also various problems such as confusion, duplication, missing or tampering of knowledge content.

We cannot blame the communicator for not delivering the knowledge well, because everyone's education level, knowledge level, cognition and understanding of the same knowledge are not the same, but we have to do it, one wants to acquire this knowledge People consider.

If a person wants to learn a certain knowledge on the Internet, but the Internet tells him hundreds of thousands of the same knowledge spread by different people, different channels or platforms, this is not a good thing for him.

For him, what he needs more is the depth of knowledge rather than the breadth of knowledge. Rather than giving him hundreds of teachers of varying levels to choose, it is better to teach him a highly skilled teacher.

In this world, the problem of educational inequality always exists. I believe that in the college under my feet, the tutor's understanding of "Relativity" and the tutors in the university where I graduated from "Theory of Relativity" are very important. The difference.

Even in my home country, the level of education in a prosperous city is very different from that of ordinary rural areas or even counties.

Today, the popularization of the mobile Internet gives us the opportunity to do something about this inequality. Therefore, many colleagues in Huizhong and many well-known educators in the industry have sprouted the creation of a standard knowledge on the Internet. The idea of ​​a technical system.

Before, we in Huizhong have started to create similar platforms for AI technical knowledge, but compared to the various knowledge in the entire vast human civilization, this is only a trivial subject.

Therefore, I stand here today, advocating and appealing to everyone here, as well as universities, governments, non-profit organizations, educational institutions, educators, and scientists around the world who are determined to change all of this. set up.

The standard knowledge and technology system is not designed to make all education and knowledge the same, but to allow many students and knowledge seekers in low-income and low-developed areas to have the opportunity to access high-level education and prevent them from being poor due to environmental poverty. And cause the poverty of knowledge acquisition.

The standard knowledge and technology system is not to kill the diversity and richness of knowledge, but to enable scholars to quickly locate their own level, quickly and conveniently learn the knowledge they want to learn, and improve themselves.

The standard knowledge and technology system is not the private property of a certain multinational company, a certain country’s government, or a certain organization, but the common wealth of the entire world and all human civilizations.

I hope that in the future, knowledge can become the most expensive and cheapest thing in the world because of the existence of the standard knowledge technology system!

Thank you!"

Fang Zhe’s speech aroused enthusiastic applause in the auditorium. Even though many white-headed scholars who have passed the sixtieth year, their eyes showed a look of desire and hope. How much they wish they could see with their own eyes how this system was born. The prosperity of human civilization has made outstanding contributions.

After the applause subsided, another guest who was invited to give a speech took the stage after Fang Zhe.

The speaker, named Roderick, is also the only Nobel Prize winner on the scene today.

"When I was very young, I lived in Hallstatt, Austria. It was a small town. The total number of people in the town was less than 2,000. My elementary school general education teacher was named Mary. The wife of an electrician in our town.

One day in class, Mary told us that the world we live in is called the earth, and the earth is round. At that time, my classmates and I were shocked!

We really cannot imagine why the world we live in is round, and the world we see is flat.

So I mustered the courage to stand up and ask Teacher Mary, why is the world round?

I still remember her expression at that time, a little surprised, a little speechless, and finally she said to me angrily that it is enough for a child to know that the world is round, there is no need to know so much!"

There was a roar of laughter in the auditorium.

"Later, my parents went to Vienna for work reasons, and I followed them to the school in Vienna. Until then, when I asked my teacher again why the world is round, he gave me an accurate The answer is that gravity and the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the earth interact with each other to achieve a balance.

At that time, I still couldn't understand, because I didn't even know what gravity and centrifugal force were. The teacher asked me to go to physics to find the answer. From then on, I fell in love with physics.

You see, a child, because of a problem, because of a good teacher, has embarked on the road of science. If I didn’t go to Vienna but stayed in Hallstatt, maybe today, I have become an electrician. My wife may also be teaching another child. The world is round. As for why, please don't ask me, because my teacher told me that."

Everyone in the auditorium leaned forward and backward laughing again.

"A good education is enough to change a child's life. It is precisely because of such a life experience that I have come here today and stand on this podium. Together with Mr. Fang Zhe, I call on everyone to work hard together. Create a standard knowledge and technology system so that every child living in Hallstatt can receive a good education, so that every Hallstatt in the world can have a group of good teachers!"

Applause sounded like a tide in the auditorium. Roderick used his own personal experience as the material for the speech, which made everyone on the scene deeply resonate. I don’t know how many of them were fortunate that he had met a lifelong beneficiary. good teacher.
