Chapter 77 Press Conference

To be honest, the suit is really uncomfortable to wear.

Jiang Chen remembered that he only passed it once during the graduation defense, and two or three times during the job interview.

However, looking at Xia Shiyu, it is quite a bit of a taste to wear a beige-black business suit. The jet-black hair was tucked behind his head, the black-rimmed glasses were still on the bridge of his nose, and there was a decent amount of light makeup on his face. To be honest, he actually thinks she looks better with a ponytail, but it doesn't have to have a mature and professional temperament.

"Are you ready?" Xia Shiyu looked at his relaxed look with some worry.

Jiang Chen shrugged and smiled, "Don't worry."

It's not quite as reassuring...

Although Xia Shiyu wanted to complain like this, seeing Jiang Chen's relaxed appearance always made people feel more secure than nervous.

Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded.

"come on."

"Definitely." Jiang Chen smiled.

Just kidding, what's there to be afraid of being pointed at by the camera, sir, I don't know how many guns I've been pointed at... Uh, although it doesn't seem to be something worth showing off.

The public meeting room on the first floor of Guanglu Building was crowded with people.

In the semi-arc staircase-shaped venue, reporters from various invited media have already taken their seats in advance, and the cameras have been placed in the last row as usual. Since the seat is taken by number, the conference venue seems to be fairly orderly.

However, the media's enthusiasm for Future Man 1.0 obviously exceeded Jiang Chen's expectations. The 100-square-meter conference room is still a bit crowded.

The curtain was drawn, and the flashlight was projected.

Jiang Chen smiled and waved his hand kindly, looking at the symbols of CTV, Renren Daily, and even overseas BBC and CNN, but his heart was beating secretly.

I'm going, the feeling of being pointed at by the camera is really unusual... Even the young master is starting to get nervous.

After calming down a bit, Jiang Chen read the opening remarks under the expectant gaze of the media.

"First of all, I would like to thank all the media for taking time out of their busy schedules to come to the press conference of our Future People Technology. I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of Future People 1.0. In order not to waste everyone's time, I won't go into details about its functions here. The nature of today's conference is mainly to clarify some rumors and misunderstandings about the future technology company in the market. Then according to the most efficient way, I choose to give all the time to you. Media. Please speak at one time in accordance with the order of seats. In order to allow every media to have the opportunity to speak, each speech is limited to one question."

Standing in the background, Xia Shiyu almost stumbled, staring blankly at Jiang Chen's direction, completely dumbfounded.

How can you leave the question to the media without saying anything?

Without a simple and comprehensive explanation in advance, if someone asks a very tricky question, can you deal with it?

The media were also stunned. Jiang Chen didn't play cards according to common sense and went directly to the media questioning session, which caught them by surprise. I've seen one that doesn't have a question-and-answer session from the media, but they haven't seen one that omits the most important explanation.

And speaking according to the seat, on the contrary, they who are accustomed to rush questions are not used to it.

But Jiang Chen doesn't care about so many rules and regulations, how to adjust the most efficiently. Moreover, it is easy to offend people if you are not thoughtful when you take the call, so I will answer if you line up to speak.

Not to mention, those local media reporters who were often "raised a class hand" and were not called once were quite grateful for Jiang Chen's actions. It doesn't matter if the position is at the back, as long as you have the opportunity to speak.

On the other hand, Jiang Chen had a calm expression on his face. As for why he did this, there was a certain degree of consideration.

Anyway, what you are asking is nothing more than security, privacy and the like. Even if I clarify it, you guys will take advantage of my language and make a positive or negative review based on your own preferences.

Well, sir, I will let you ask first, and I will answer. A media has only one chance to ask questions. I will not speak first, and I will talk after you say it.

Jiang Chen asked himself that if he played cards according to common sense, he would definitely not be able to play these old fritters. No matter how capable this little girl Xia Shiyu was, the manuscript she wrote would definitely be picked out for weakness.

However, those media reporters are worthy of being experienced in the battlefield. Although they were surprised by Jiang Chen's actions, they had already done the relevant homework beforehand and prepared a lot of questions. The media reporter in the first row stood up and asked the questions written in the book step by step.

"I'm a reporter for CTV. The safety of artificial intelligence has always been a controversial issue. The safety of Xiaobai is also the main focus of public opinion. So, Mr. Jiang Chen, will it really be as people worry about it? In that way, it becomes a time bomb buried in the user's mobile phone, threatening the user's information security?" The younger man asked quickly.

"That's a good question, but first, I need to quote our company's recent commitment. Once users suffer financial losses due to Xiaobai's procedural errors, we will fully compensate them." Jiang Chen shrugged teasingly. , and then continued, "In addition, from the designer's point of view, I can be very responsible, as long as it is a program, it will follow the code settings. So you don't have to worry about what Xiaobai will do to the user. things, because I don't allow it."

There were bursts of discussion and swish notes in the venue, and immediately the second person stood up again.

"I'm a reporter from Renren Daily. May I ask Mr. Jiang Chen. In terms of artificial intelligence, my country's legislation is still in the blank stage. Then, regarding the "Artificial Intelligence Management Act" that may be brewing, may the Futureren Technology Co., Ltd. What do you think about it?" A middle-aged man stood up and looked at Jiang Chen and said.

Renren Daily? This can be a little troublesome... Jiang Chen's thoughts are spinning fast.

As the official media, that is the mouthpiece of ZF, I am afraid that the meaning of this sentence is not so simple. Are you testing me? Are you still implying me?

"Of course, Futureren Technology adheres to the principle of strictly abiding by laws and regulations, and unconditionally abides by and supports all bills issued by ZF. According to the specific content of the "Artificial Intelligence Management Act" introduced at that time, Futureren Technology will cooperate with ZF to adjust its artificial intelligence business in China. "

Jiang Chen's answer was very cautious, showing his support and cooperation, but he didn't mention his views on the proposal. He vaguely speculates that this may be an issue dictated by the legislature, because there is almost nowhere in the laws of any country in the world how to regulate such a thing as artificial intelligence. After all, for now, the world's research on artificial intelligence is still in the exploratory stage. At least none of them have achieved "primary AI" in the true sense.

After hearing Jiang Chen's answer, the middle-aged man sat down thoughtfully.

Then another blond woman stood up.

"I'm a reporter from the BBC, please ask Mr. Jiang Chen. As we all know, artificial intelligence needs powerful hardware equipment to match it. Take IBM's Watson for example, it is powered by 90 IBM servers and 360 computer chips to maintain its operation. . However, the Future Human 1.0 developed by your company can run on the mobile phone, how is this done?”

The BBC questioned it from a technical point of view. Judging from the reaction on the spot, it seems that many reporters have also expressed concern about this.

"I'm sorry that this design is a commercial secret. But what I can disclose is that the problems involved are mainly in the database. The core of the 'software-based artificial intelligence' developed by our team is not hardware, and the demand for computing is not high. The key It's just the database in it. It accepts external information, and then outputs the content in the database. As long as the compression of the huge database is handled well, the future person 1.0 can completely run on the mobile terminal. Obviously, we have already done it."

Jiang Chen confidently held the ** and told him the theory full of nonsense, anyway, there is no need to worry that experts can debunk it. Because at this moment in the world, he alone, or his team, has "made" such a creative breakthrough in the field of artificial intelligence, and its significance is similar to the Windows 1.0 launched by Bill Gates.

database?

The eyes of all the media reporters lit up and remembered.

"I'm a reporter from Sankei Shimbun. May I ask Mr. Jiang Chen, the current scientific community's exploration of artificial intelligence is in a difficult stage of exploration. I wonder if Mr. Jiang Chen has the tolerance of Andy who developed Android back then. The world opens up this magical 'artificial intelligence database'?" A short man in a suit got up and bowed first, and then asked unhurriedly.

The corner of Jiang Chen's mouth raised a hint of mockery.

This is too shameless, for the scientific community? tolerance?

According to you, wouldn't it make more sense to expose your entire country's technology?

However, it seems to be expected that the right-wing and right-wing media in Japan, who are accustomed to shamelessness, can ask such mindless questions?

"I think this has a certain practical significance, after all, it is for human beings. Then, as a sign of sincerity, maybe you can convince your country's government to give up all its armed forces? This will be a historic step in promoting the peace process of mankind. I look forward to it. Your grace."

There were bursts of laughter at the scene, and many Chinese reporters laughed at how shameless this devil was. The short man glanced at Jiang Chen angrily, then sat back with a sullen and embarrassed face.

Jiang Chen shrugged, then motioned for the next reporter to speak. For shameless people, he has nothing to say.

"I'm a reporter from CNN. I would like to ask Mr. Jiang Chen, about your company's future people 1.0, is it really as secret as you say about user privacy? After all, your company has managed to encrypt this software. As flawless as an egg, no one can verify its security from a program's point of view. If 'Xiao Bai' can send messages from users to your office computer, of course this is just an example, but Can you prove it won't happen?"

This is a very acute issue, and it is estimated that many people are also worried about this issue.

For a cold program, even if its back door is wide open, you may not think to question its security unless the problem is completely exposed.

But you might be suspicious of a live program, even if the developer repeatedly declares it to be safe, because it's so human-like.

"I'm not the FBI, what's the use of asking for users' privacy," Jiang Chen laughed and spread his hands, "Then I'll make an analogy. According to the Washington Post, the CIA and the FBI directly contacted the FBI. Enter the central servers of nine Internet giants such as Microsoft, Google, and Facebook, and track users' emails, phone calls, documents, videos and other information in real time. What do you think about this?"

"Does this have anything to do with today's question?" The CNN reporter's face was slightly embarrassed.

"Of course there is. What I want to say is that whether it violates privacy has nothing to do with the program itself. Because even artificial intelligence does not have any concept of interest, even if you want to uninstall it that has been with you for many days, it I will also smile and wave to you to say goodbye. The person who will try to spy on other people's privacy can only be another human being. And I promise here, I will never do it! As long as I am the chairman of the board for one day, Future People Technology won't do it!"

Jiang Chen looked directly into the reporter's eyes and said loudly.

There was applause from the venue.

Raising his hand to signal silence, Jiang Chen handed over the time to the next reporter.

The next question, Jiang Chen, was also very accurate. In short, he said what he could say, what he couldn't say was bullshit, and what couldn't be bullshit, he turned to trade secrets. Only in terms of acting, Jiang Chen has always been quite confident in himself.

Later, the media also asked a lot of questions such as "When will the overseas version be launched?" "Will people consider introducing venture capital in the future?" Even "Does Director Jiang have a girlfriend?" questions were asked.

However, these questions were all okay, and Jiang Chen simply gave a series of answers such as "I am studying the specific time", "No", and "Nothing at the moment."

The more interesting question is, "Does the name Future Man Company have any deep meaning?"

To this, Jiang Chen replied in a half-joking tone: "Because my team and I are as far-sighted as future people."

In addition, there is a more sensitive question, "Whether artificial intelligence will be used in the military field?"

In this regard, Jiang Chen's answer is also relatively clear, "Social artificial intelligence only has social functions, it cannot calculate the trajectory of artillery shells for you, then you have to rely on high-performance computers and related experts. Unless you are worried about your soldiers lying down It's so boring in the trenches, I want to find him a companion to chat with."

It is precisely because of his undisguised attitude that he has won the favor of most media reporters.

Of course, there are also media with the opposite attitude. For example, the dwarf from Sankei Shimbun was there, thinking about a crooked idea with a grim gaze, he had already thought about how to smear Hei Jiangchen.

But who cares? At least Jiang Chen doesn't care.

In other words, who cares what a media outlet that only distorts the facts says?

In the final closing speech and a round of applause, the first press conference of Futureren Technology came to a successful conclusion.

"I didn't expect that your ability to play on the spot is quite strong?" Xia Shiyu looked at Jiang Chen who was walking towards him, and nodded in relief.

"Haha," Jiang Chen raised his head and smiled narcissistically, then raised his eyebrows proudly at her, "Did you just find out? This chairman has always been such a NB."

"...Can you be more civilized, you are a public figure anyway." Xia Shiyu spat softly.

public figure?

Aware of this problem, Jiang Chen immediately showed a wry smile on his face.

Holy crap, don't I have to be careful in what I do in the future? How can Nima enjoy life?

"I said... I shouldn't be pointed at by the camera when I go out?" Jiang Chen asked with a smirk, scratching his head and asking.

"..." Xia Shiyu stared at Jiang Chen silently for a while, then sighed, "The public figure here means that your words and deeds represent the image of the company. If you do it in public Uncivilized actions will directly affect the public's impression of our company. If it is photographed and posted on the Internet, it may further ferment...Why are you looking at me like this?"

"I just think that you care more about future technology than I do. I'm very pleased." Jiang Chen looked at Xia Shiyu with a smile.

"..." Xia Shiyu was speechless again.

Only that cold look has not changed.

Jiang Chen shrugged indifferently, then prepared to change out of this awkward suit.

"Right." When Jiang Chen was about to leave the backstage, Xia Shiyu suddenly stopped him.

"Huh?" Jiang Chen turned his head and looked at Xia Shiyu in confusion.

"Well...that, out of consideration for the company's reputation. Of course, I don't want to interfere with your private life, but you really don't have a girlfriend?" Xia Shiyu didn't look in Jiang Chen's direction. , but stared straight at the open space on the side, the index finger of the right hand unconsciously wrapped around the temple, and asked in a flat tone.

Jiang Chen was stunned, his expression was indescribably weird.

"What if?" He prodded her tentatively.

"!"

Your temples are going to be torn off by you!

"But in fact it is not." Jiang Chen hurriedly added.

"..."

Is this the corner of the mouth rising?

At this moment, no matter how stupid Jiang Chen is, he understands...

"Cough, if that's the case, then I'm relieved. But you should pay proper attention to your private life, because if the news of your singleness is reported as a serious matter, there may be some malicious attempts. ...Well, just pay attention anyway."

Jiang Chen stared blankly at Xia Shiyu's rare and talkative expression, with an indescribably strange expression.

"Could it be... you like me?"
