"Brother-in-law"

Zhuang Zicheng has the best relationship with Yang Huan, and as soon as he enters the door, he calls his brother-in-law affectionately.

Although you are engaged, you are not married?

Is it too early to call my brother-in-law now?

Yang Huan felt funny in his heart when he heard it, this kid must have come to ask for money.

Otherwise, why is the mouth so sweet?

"Master Huan"

Compared with Zhuang Zicheng's enthusiasm, Palmer Olachi is more restrained.

The two didn't look tired of staying up late and flying from China to London, but instead seemed very energetic.

Sun Yue and Zhao Yuanfang also followed them and walked in, and they all shouted Young Master Huan in unison.

"Come, I'll introduce you"

Yang Huan smiled and introduced Jamis Hasabis.

Chuang Zicheng and Palmer Rakhi came for Jamis Hasabis.

Zhao Yuanfang is Yang Huan's investment adviser, and he has been to London before and has been in contact with Jamis Hasabis several times.

It was precisely because of the review of Zhao Yuanfang and Kesh Harris that Jamis Hassabis was able to meet Yang Huan.

Otherwise, he would have been brushed down a long time ago.

"Jamies, could you please tell us all about your research first?" Zhao Yuanfang said.

Jamis Hasabis smiled slightly, took out a stack of papers from his briefcase, and handed them over to Yang Huan and the others one by one, one for each person.

This article lists the work of him and several of his companions.

"As you know, during my time at the University of London, I mainly studied the human brain, with a focus on the hippocampus."

"Now, it's hard for people with amnesia to plan for the future because their hippocampus is damaged, whereas in the past, we usually thought that the hippocampus was only related to memory, but obviously it wasn't."

"It is important to note that the hippocampus is essential for the sense of direction, memory retrieval and imagination of future events"

"A colleague of mine did a study that showed that London taxi drivers have a larger hippocampus than the average person"

Jamis Hasabis's words attracted the attention of everyone present, except for Long Go, who was secretly playing the game in the corner.

Zhuang Zicheng and Palmer Olachi looked at the text in their hands very intently.

The hippocampus is able to determine a person's sense of orientation, which is crucial for their research on virtual reality headsets.

Because it has the potential to be the key to solving the dizziness phenomenon after wearing a virtual reality headset

"I want to ask, Dr. Hassabis, AI algorithms are hot, including Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Ihm, etc., they are working on this aspect, what do you think, what are the advantages of your research?"

Yang Huan was most concerned about this question, so he asked directly.

Hassabis nodded at him.

"It's not a life-and-death arena, and the more people who are involved in this research, the more it helps us, because the more people are involved in this research, the more we can broaden our thinking, and I think that's a good thing."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

"The other thing I want to say is that this is a very, very large system, and no one person, or any institution, can study it all, and many other so-called artificial intelligence algorithms actually rely on programmers to pre-program the code and then use the code to calculate, I don't think this is artificial intelligence

"And what about your approach?" Zhuang Zicheng immediately asked.

Hassabis seemed very calm, very calm, without the slightest nervousness.

"I do research on the human brain, especially the hippocampus, and I study how the hippocampus stores and analyzes our memories and how it affects our imagination of the future, so my idea is to study how brain cells interact with each other."

"I hope to be able to develop a set of algorithms that mimic the working patterns of the human brain, just like the hippocampus, on the one hand, storing and analyzing memories, that is, the numbers on our Internet like a vast ocean, and on the other hand, by storing and analyzing these numbers, the algorithm can wave its own imagination of future events and achieve accuracy."

Everyone present was amazed, including Zhuang Zicheng and Palmer Oratchi.

This is really interesting research.

The affirmation of Hassabis's research in authoritative scientific journals proves that his research on the hippocampus is worthy of recognition.

Then he wants to develop such an algorithm through the study of the hippocampus, which is also very promising.

Everyone's next step is traceable, and they are all influenced by memory.

Strictly speaking, this cannot be considered artificial intelligence, because it is still just a set of algorithms in its bones, and no one is aware of it.

But if it could really be accurately predicted from memory, as Hassabis said, it would be a revolutionary innovation.

When Zhuang Zicheng and Palmer Olachi heard this, they were already full of excitement.

Both of them looked at Yang Huan in unison, and their eyes seemed to say, please, vote, Young Master Huan

Yang Huan remained silent and looked at Zhao Yuanfang, who understood.

"Dr. Hassabis, frankly, you have a very interesting vision and future, but we are also curious to know, how do you plan to assemble your research team?"

Jamis Hassabis still didn't look panicked.

He feels as if he is in control of everything.

Perhaps, people with a certain IQ will give people this feeling.

"It depends on the willingness of investors, and in my concept, my team should be divided into two parts, one is to engage in the most basic research, continue to conduct in-depth research, and constantly improve this set of algorithms."

"The other part is engaged in applied research, which is to translate our basic research results into practical applications."

Hassabis's words revealed that he was indeed a smart man.

At the very least, he knows how to find a balance between scientific research and practical application.

Investors, of course, have to see the benefits.

Who does not make money in business?

"As for the size of the team, I currently only have three people, all of whom are professional researchers in related fields, but if I have enough funds, I hope to start with about 30 people, and then gradually expand, and I expect that by the end of the year, the number will reach 150 people, of which 75% are engaged in basic research, and the rest are applied research."

Yang Huan and the others didn't expect that he would even think about this.

"Can you bring in so many researchers?" Yang Huan asked with concern.

Hassabis nodded confidently, "Yes, and even if the conditions are right, I can poach people from the research institutes of big companies such as Microsoft, Google, and Ihm."

Microsoft and IhnR are world-famous, and they are all experts and scholars.

If you want to poach people from this, you can't do it with money.

Perhaps for fear of being misunderstood for bragging, Hassabis explained again.

"Actually, Microsoft, Google, and Ihkf have visited me, and many people in their research institutes are interested in my research."

"Then why didn't you go?" Sun Yue asked curiously.

Hassabis thought about it this time, but quickly replied, "I don't like to join big companies, I want to have the power of independent research, and go to big companies like Microsoft, they will definitely ask our research to serve their products first." ”

Yang Huan was happy when he heard it, "We will definitely ask you to provide services for our products first, aren't they all the same?" ”

Hasabis smiled silently, faintly revealing a meaning.

You're the same size as Microsoft, Google, and Ih, and that's too small.

You know

"Can I ask you a question?" Zhuang Zicheng finally couldn't help it and asked.

"Excuse me," Hasabis had already noticed Zhuang Zicheng.

"We're working on a virtual reality headset, but we're doing it now, after wearing this wearable device for a long time, the head will get dizzy, is there a way to solve it?"

Hassabis thought for a moment and then shook his head, "No way. ”

This made both Zhuang Zicheng and Palmer Olachi a little regretful.

"The reason why you get dizzy is because your brain is moving at a high level, but at the same time, your body is telling your brain that you're not moving at all, so your brain is dizzy, which is the same as motion sickness."

"If you want to solve it completely, there is really no way, unless you don't wear it, but maybe you can find a way to relieve the dizziness."

Zhuang Zicheng and Palmer Orachi glanced at each other, and both felt that what Hassabis said was very pertinent.

They have also put a lot of research effort into this area, but they have not been able to make effective progress.

Previously, they bought a start-up in the United States and spent more than 100 million dollars on it.

But the effect is also very obvious.

The company has a number of patents, one of the most interesting of which is digital light field technology.

Nowadays, many virtual reality and augmented reality technologies are used to focus the eyes on the front and cannot move after wearing glasses, so the eye muscles are also extremely prone to fatigue and dizziness.

However, this digital light field technology directly mimics the real light field information of the real world and projects it into the eye, so that the eye can rotate and focus at will as if looking at the real world, and can achieve panoramic depth at any angle and distance.

This has basically solved the problem of eye strain.

But there is still no way to completely eradicate the problem of vertigo

Perhaps, this is a problem that cannot be solved

"By the way, Dr. Hassabis, we have been working on gesture control and voice control recently, is there a way to accumulate the number of users through this set of algorithms of guò, so that the control becomes more accurate, or even more accurate?"

This time Hassabis nodded almost without hesitation, "Yes"

Then he added, "And, it's not difficult"

This immediately made both Zhuang Zicheng and Palmer Olachi excited.

The best way to interact with wearables is gestures and voice, but precision is an issue.

If the device can learn on its own and become more and more accurate according to the user's habits, that is definitely exciting news and will solve this big problem

At present, the research direction of Zhuang Zicheng and Palmer Olachi is no longer virtual reality, or augmented reality.

WeChat Research Institute has both of these technologies, and is merging them together to form a completely new technology.

In addition, the research and development of wearable devices has not been left behind.

For the previous virtual reality helmet that was the same size as a brick, Yang Huan was very, very unimpressed.

After acquiring several companies, it has become possible to be small and thin.

And Yang Huan is not in a hurry, he continues to burn money to research, and keeps taking money to introduce experts, and he will launch it on the market only when both software and hardware are mature.

Why did the iPhone become a revolutionary success?

Not just because they sell mobile phones, but also because they have a whole complete supporting ecosystem.

It is this combination of software and hardware that has made Apple a huge success, and it has also made it impossible for followers such as Android and Microsoft to keep up with them, let alone leapfrog

Therefore, Yang Huan's request to Zhuang Zicheng and Palmer Oratchi is to continue to refine and continue to study and improve

Anyway, there's still a lot of time, so don't rush, take your time

This meeting is open at this point, and in fact, there is no need to say anything superfluous.

Yang Huan decided on this project of Hassabis.

So, soon, Yang Huan stood up and made a statement.

The old rule is that money is given to money, and people are asked to give money.

Hassabis demanded that the institute must be in London, and he agreed

He also agreed to the initial research fund of 10 million pounds

Even in personnel recruitment and project research, Hassabis asked for a high degree of autonomy, and Yang Huan agreed

Anyway, Yang Huan himself doesn't understand anything, how can a layman lead an insider?

It's better to let them go and toss them, and take care of the money yourself

Yang Huan is notoriously possessive, but now it is rare to be so generous in delegating power, which is rare.

Therefore, Zhuang Zicheng, Sun Yue, Zhao Yuanfang and others couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Could it be that Young Master Huan is so optimistic about this project?
