Chapter 133: Whoever Masters Artificial Intelligence Masters the World

“Hello! Humans.” – Global Times

“Has the Robot Era Arrived?” – Phoenix Tech

“Army Ant’s Robot Butler – Enchantress!” – People’s Daily

“Shocking! Robots.” – Squirrel Headlines

…

All kinds of news about robots suddenly appeared in major media outlets. Paired with the robot video from the Legion Ant Company at the Internet Conference, the internet quickly started boiling over in a short time.

Many people had seen robots before, but most were remote-controlled. The ones without remote controls were almost all chatbots or cleaning robots that couldn’t do many things.

Now that Enchantress had appeared, it showed them what real high technology looked like.

Could robot intelligence really reach this level?

They had only seen this kind of technology in sci-fi movies before. Now, a robot like this suddenly exploded onto the scene, showing them something even more terrifying.

Under various articles, netizens were all stirred up.

“Is the Terminator coming soon?”

“Are humans worried that the intelligent robot era has arrived? Legion Ant Company is really scary. Chen Mo is really scary. Won’t the government do something about it?”

“Could War Robots be far behind?”

“Gates: It’s hard to imagine why some people think Artificial Intelligence is nothing to worry about.”

Various comments under the articles were all worrying about the threat posed by robots. Since many people had seen sci-fi movies, they instinctively worried about the future development of robots.

Unlike the comments under those articles, some posts about the Enchantress Robot on a well-known domestic forum had a very different style.

First floor: First! I was thinking, if we made it into a realistic doll, would it make sounds in bed?

Second floor: Replying to above, you could make it make sounds while you’re moving. You shout, you shout, even if you shout your throat out, no one would pay attention to you. It would follow your commands.

Third floor: Shouting throat out…

Fourth floor: Don’t worry if you don’t have a girlfriend. When the country becomes richer, partners will be assigned.

After the Enchantress Robot was revealed, in less than an hour, major forums and news reports were all filled with topics about robots.

After the Legion Ant Company introduced the Smart Assistant, Artificial Intelligence had remained a hot topic. Now this intelligent robot appeared. Although it wasn’t on the market yet, seeing the experimental product was already shocking enough.

The robot in the exhibition area, based on its various movements, already showed mature technology.

The Intelligent Robot made Legion Ant Company stand out among the cutting-edge technologies at the Internet Conference, grabbing the headlines. Other technologies seemed to pale in comparison to this agile robot.

Conference Center, Hall One.

Chen Mo was sitting in the audience, with Yu Chengnan beside him.

It was already the “Voice of the Industry” segment. Yu Chengnan, as the first representative to give a keynote speech, had already come down and was chatting with him.

“CEO Chen, look at this news.” Yu Chengnan handed his phone to Chen Mo. “Your company is making headlines again.”

Chen Mo looked at Yu Chengnan’s phone and saw the report about the robot.

He immediately recognized it as the robot from the exhibition area. This robot was the first one he successfully assembled. The subsequent ten units had some minor improvements. So he used this weakest performing one for exhibition.

“It made the headlines this quickly?”

Chen Mo looked surprised at the news on the phone. He never expected the robot to grab the headlines. At the exhibition, many other tech companies had cutting-edge technologies. In his view, the robot was quite ordinary.

“This is an era of information explosion. You know better than I do how fast news spreads. I didn’t expect Legion Ant Company’s technology to have reached this level.” Yu Chengnan said with admiration.

Legion Ant Company was established not long ago. Achieving such results was simply enviable and jealousy-inducing.

“This is just a prototype.” Chen Mo said.

“There are many prototypes at the exhibition. Why aren’t they grabbing headlines? I didn’t expect Legion Ant Company to already be targeting Intelligent Robots. It seems I need to change my opinion of you now.”

“This robot only has a battery life of less than three hours. The technology isn’t mature yet, and there are still many flaws.” Chen Mo smiled. “It’s impossible to launch it for now. There’s still a long way to go.”

While they were talking, a hostess in a qipao walked over to Chen Mo, smiled at him, and said, “Mr. Chen, it’s your turn to give the keynote speech next. Please come with me to prepare.”

“Let’s talk later.”

Chen Mo bid farewell to Yu Chengnan and followed the hostess backstage under her guidance.

“Probably everyone here has heard of the name Legion Ant Company. The rise of Legion Ant Company is a legend in the tech world.”

On stage, the famous host Du Chun spoke eloquently.

“The field of Artificial Intelligence is a hot topic recently and also the theme of this conference. Legion Ant Company is undoubtedly one of the pioneers in the field of Artificial Intelligence. Now, let’s welcome the founder of Legion Ant Company, Mr. Chen Mo, to deliver his keynote speech.”

As Du Chun’s voice faded, the hostess led Chen Mo onto the stage.

People in the audience had already started whispering.

While listening to other keynote speeches earlier, they learned that Legion Ant Company exhibited an advanced Intelligent Robot in the exhibition area. Now, as soon as they opened the news, they could see reports about this robot.

In the field of Artificial Intelligence, Legion Ant Company had probably already surpassed other companies. In the internet circle, there’s a saying: whoever masters Artificial Intelligence masters the world.

The country had already established relevant policies and even mentioned in issued documents: mobilize the entire nation’s strength to seize the global high ground in Artificial Intelligence by 2030.

These were not empty words. Relevant policies had already been issued. The whole world was competing for the advantage in Artificial Intelligence. Naturally, the country wouldn’t fall behind in this area and had already started planning early.

Artificial Intelligence would be an important topic for a long time to come.

Now, Legion Ant Company had clearly already caught up with the three giants in the field of Artificial Intelligence. Legion Ant Company’s influence would definitely continue to grow in the future.

If it were just a Smart Assistant, perhaps major giants wouldn’t pay much attention. But now that an Intelligent Robot had appeared, everyone had to take notice. Legion Ant Company had already overtaken others on the curve and become one of the leaders in the Artificial Intelligence industry.

After Chen Mo appeared on stage, the entire conference hall quieted down. Everyone’s attention focused on him.

The theme of this Internet Conference was related to Artificial Intelligence.

As a pioneer in Artificial Intelligence, Chen Mo’s words carried significant weight. In terms of technology, he developed the Legion Ant smartphone operating system, created the Smart Assistant Xiao Die, and also established the second set of Chinese computer programming language.

Even though Chen Mo wasn’t very old, no one dared to look down on him because of that. Chen Mo was also one of the most influential tech giants.

Chen Mo stood at the podium and glanced at the speech notes on it. This was his first time standing on such a big stage, and he felt somewhat nervous inside.

He pushed aside his nervous feelings, took a deep breath, and then looked up, facing the audience directly.
