Chapter 743: Lack of "Core"
The interview is almost over, and the beautiful host is just a student and doesn't have much experience, so she didn't put any pressure on Wu Hao and them.
This was followed by a question-and-answer session, which was asked to them by the teachers and students in the audience.
The first question was asked by a junior girl, and she took the microphone and asked Wu Hao: "Hello Senior Wu Hao, I am a junior student majoring in intelligent science and technology, my name is Li Dan."
I admire you and Zhang Jun very much, and a large part of the reason why I chose to apply for HKUST in the first place was because of you.
There are a lot of girls in our school who are your fans and fans, and everyone likes you very much.
When we are in class, many times the professor will use some examples of your company's projects and products.
For example, intelligent voice systems, intelligent AI portraits, intelligent VR and AI technology, etc. Each of these technologies was an eye-opener and a pleasant surprise. And your artificial intelligence research laboratory is also a holy place that we yearn for.
However, we can also have doubts when we study. What is the future development direction of artificial intelligence, and will it bring danger and disaster to us human beings as it is now deduced in many film and television dramas.
In addition, we have also noticed that you have pledged on several occasions that you will never allow your company's researchers to touch the field of AI autonomous consciousness.
Senior, can you give us an answer on the spot, this is also a question that many of us are more concerned about, thank you. ”
Yes, Wu Hao smiled bitterly when he heard this. This is a very beautiful girl, why did she ask such a sharp question, and she came up and asked a question that shocked everyone's spirits.
"Thank you!"
Wu Hao replied with a smile: "I am very happy to receive such a high praise from you, and the major you have chosen is also a popular major that is currently in short supply in our company and even in our country."
I hope that you and your classmates can succeed in their studies and contribute to the cause of artificial intelligence in our country in the future.
Of course, on behalf of Haoyu Technology, I also welcome you to join. I believe that with your participation, our research in artificial intelligence will be able to reach a higher level.
As for the questions you raised, in fact, they are also the issues that the people are most concerned about or that everyone is most concerned about at present.
It's normal for you to have such doubts, not only you, but actually those who are engaged in the development of artificial intelligence.
None of us know what artificial intelligence will eventually look like. We can't use our current thinking to envision the things and technologies of the future, and the whimsical technologies we have now may be able to achieve them in the future.
Let's take it more than 100 years ago, who could have imagined the development of science and technology now, and whether they imagined what our current society would look like.
Even we can all appreciate the rapid development of science and technology and society.
Think about what computers, telephones, and televisions looked like when we were children, and look at the changes that have changed today, let alone a hundred years.
So I can't give you a definitive answer about the future of artificial intelligence. Of course, as practitioners in this industry, we still have a rough judgment.
First of all, AI will definitely get smarter, that is, smarter. We all know that artificial intelligence has surpassed humans in many fields, and this trend will continue in the future until it surpasses humans across the board.
But we humans don't need to be too discouraged, I think there are some areas where artificial intelligence will never be able to surpass humans.
The first is self-awareness, artificial intelligence is just a machine or a series of programs, it has no self-awareness, let alone who it is.
Secondly, he has no self-emotion. As much as we humans want AI programs to have their own emotions, unfortunately, this field will be difficult to achieve in the foreseeable future.
The third is the unique ability of human beings to think on their own, which is also something that artificial intelligence can never learn and copy.
Finally, it is also the most ordinary ability that each of us has, that is, aesthetic ability. Artificial intelligence does not have the ability to self-aesthetically, and its so-called aesthetics are completely derived from data, rather than from our most intuitive perception of beauty.
I think this is also the biggest difference between our future and artificial intelligence, so in this respect, artificial intelligence will not replace our human position.
As for whether it is dangerous or not, it depends on how we humans use it. It's like nuclear energy, some people use it to make bombs, and some people use it to generate electricity.
To put it bluntly, it's just a tool, and it's up to us humans to use it.
The reason why I don't let our researchers touch the field of AI self-awareness is because it is controversial and risky. As far as we are concerned, we don't take that risk. ”
"Hello Senior Wu Hao, I am a senior student from the electronic packaging technology major, my name is Chen Wenfei. You are the pride of our HKUST, so more of us have been taking you as an example and always paying attention to you.
We have noticed that in recent years, Haoyu Technology has launched a series of hard-core technologies, many of which have amazed the whole world. However, there has been no movement in some fields, such as the field of chip R&D and manufacturing, which has been concerned in recent years.
Regarding the R&D and manufacturing of chips, does Haoyu Technology have any development plans in this regard? In addition, what do you think of the current situation of lack of "core" in China, and what good suggestions do you have for this serious problem, thank you. ”
Hearing this question, Wu Hao nodded and said: "Another ace professional, thank you for your question, and thank you for caring so much about me and our company."
When it comes to chip design and manufacturing, we're not as indifferent as you might see, but we've been trying it for the past few years and we've had good results.
For example, the intelligent voice chip we have developed, as well as the image processing rendering chip for intelligent VR and AR image processing, etc.
With their excellent performance, these chips have not only been affirmed by the industry, but also recognized by consumers in the market.
At present or in the future, we will continue to promote the research of high-performance new products, and strive to develop chips with better performance.
As for the manufacturing field, this is indeed the existing shortcoming of our country, but it is not always impossible to make up. We have a large number of outstanding professionals in related fields in China, and we also have a very complete industrial chain.
And this has also laid a good foundation for the manufacture of our domestic chips, and what we need to do now is to make full use of these resources and train a group of professional and technical talents in this field. ”
