Edward didn't even have the slightest defense, nodded happily and agreed, and then started the operation according to the agreed time, but his friend didn't do it with him at all, not only that, but he also took advantage of Edward's invasion to call the relevant departments to report, Edward was arrested and imprisoned, and completely lost the qualification to receive the Turing Award. ”

Watson's face was very cold, and his eyes were almost full of fire: "Later, this guy got his wish and won the Turing Award, and then he ridiculed MIT when he gave his acceptance speech, if it was you, can you swallow this breath?"

Niu Xiaoqiang was stupid, no matter what, he couldn't have imagined that such a bloody thing had happened.

Niu Xiaoqiang was stunned for a while before he spoke: "Professor, hasn't Senior Edward been arrested and imprisoned, in that case, how do you know about these situations?"

"Don't forget that I'm a professor at MIT and the associate dean of the School of Computer Science, so with my status and status, it's so difficult to visit the prison."

"Oh, didn't you go and expose that shameless person when you found out about it?"

Watson showed a helpless expression: "Edward doesn't have any evidence in his hands, even if he exposes it, it won't have any effect at all." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang reminded: "It's not necessarily that there is no evidence, at least I know a piece of evidence." ”

Watson was shocked, "What evidence do you know?"

"The evidence is the program developed by Edward, he still has the source code in his hand, if he is telling a lie, how can he know the source code, doesn't this prove that he was framed for this?"

Watson looked disappointed: " This can't be used as evidence, first of all, Edward did carry out hacking, which is undeniable ironclad evidence, and secondly, this is not in line with the law of the United States, which values physical evidence the most, such as call records or call recordings, or you have to have witnesses to testify against you, without these conditions, the court will not accept it at all, and finally, that guy is cunning enough, he has long listed Edward as the co-developer of that program, and claims that this program was jointly developed by the two of them, so it becomes natural for Edward to know the source code。 ”

Niu Xiaoqiang sneered: "This guy is really smart, it's so perfectly designed, people can't find any flaws, professor, I don't mind going to the United States to meet this guy, can you tell me his name?"

"His name is Eisenberg. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang sighed: "Senior Edward is okay now, how long is his sentence left?"

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't care about Edward, he wanted to inquire about Edward's situation and see if he could recruit this computer master to help him make money.

Watson sighed: "At present, the United States has not enacted a law on hackers, so Edward was arrested on the charge of 'crimes against society', he has not been sentenced, he has been in custody, his charges can be large or small, I have been trying to help him reduce the punishment, but because he invaded the country's intelligence department at that time, I can play a limited role, and I don't know how many years he will be sentenced." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang's heart tightened, he is not a little kid who doesn't know anything, no matter which country it is, the intelligence department is a very sensitive existence, and ordinary people definitely can't afford to provoke it.

Niu Xiaoqiang said: I still fight Edward's idea less, after all, we are Chinese, if we provoke the US intelligence department, the end will definitely be more tragic than Edward, but Edward is definitely a big talent, if you let it go like this, it would be a pity.

Niu Xiaoqiang was a little embarrassed, and only after weighing it did he speak: "Professor, this matter should not be delayed for too long, after all, Edward is a student at MIT, and he has been detained for four years, even if it is an intelligence department, it can't be disposed of at will, if it really doesn't work, we can change our thinking to rescue him." ”

Watson knew what a terrifying IQ the young man in front of him had, so he attached great importance to Niu Xiaoqiang's opinion, and when he heard this, he immediately asked: "Have you thought of any good way?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "I thought of a solution, but I don't know if it's feasible." ”

"Whether it's feasible or not, you can say it first and I'll hear it. ”

"Okay, my idea is like this - can we do a big project, and then use the excuse of lack of personnel support, and invite a genius like Edward to join, if this project is very important to the country, presumably the intelligence department should release Edward."

Watson's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he slapped his thigh violently: "yes! Why didn't I think of it! This method is absolutely feasible!"

Niu Xiaoqiang originally just had the mentality of giving it a try, but he didn't expect Professor Watson's reaction to be so big, he couldn't help but be curious: "Professor, have you already thought about the specific content of the project?"

Watson nodded vigorously and said excitedly: "As soon as you say it, I will think of it! I will submit a report immediately after returning to China, and implement this project, as long as we can do a good job in related work, we will definitely be able to impress the relevant departments!"

Niu Xiaoqiang continued to ask curiously: "I don't know what project you have in mind?"

"Have you ever heard of artificial intelligence?"

Niu Xiaoqiang's knowledge of computers came from Professor Watson, and since Professor Watson had never mentioned artificial intelligence to him, he knew nothing about it.

I saw him ask like a curious baby, "What is artificial intelligence?"

Watson thought for a moment, and then explained it in a more simple way: "To put it simply, you can think of artificial intelligence as allowing machines to have human thinking and behavior patterns. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang understood as soon as he heard it, and he was stunned: "How is this possible!"

Watson smiled: "It doesn't have to be the same as our human beings, as long as the machine has a certain ability to act autonomously, it can be called artificial intelligence, at present, in the entire computer industry, artificial intelligence is a very high-end, very cutting-edge subject, which contains great practical value Clear-eyed people know at a glance, even the country can not refuse the huge temptation, as long as we set up artificial intelligence research and development projects, and make certain achievements, Edward is very likely to regain freedom!"

Watson rubbed his hands when he said this: "Not only can Edward regain his freedom, but our project is also very likely to compete for the Turing Award, and it can also get strong support in terms of R&D funding, which is definitely a great thing to kill multiple birds with one stone!"
