Chapter 134: Speech and Interview

“Hello everyone, I am Chen Mo from the Legion Ant Company.” Chen Mo began to speak slowly.

Everyone perked up and listened attentively.

“Artificial Intelligence is not far away from us. Just ten days ago, the Ministry of Science and Technology held a meeting and announced the first batch of national next-generation Artificial Intelligence open innovation platforms. There is Baidu’s autonomous driving, Alibaba’s City Brain, Tencent’s medical imaging, and Xunfei’s intelligent voice instant translation.”

Whoever masters Artificial Intelligence will rule the world.

The battle to seize the high ground in Artificial Intelligence had begun at that moment. In the future, the Legion Ant Company would also join this battle to help capture the global high ground in Artificial Intelligence. The landscape had already started to change, and none of us knew who would be eliminated first.

The Army Ant is a newcomer to Artificial Intelligence, but in the field of Artificial Intelligence, we are confident to accept any challenge. In the future, Artificial Intelligence will spread across various fields such as manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation.

Our company’s latest Intelligent Robot technology is already in the experimental stage. In the future, it could be a smart butler, cashier, waiter, nanny, or any profession you can think of.

Autonomous driving might make drivers lose their jobs, and intelligent language translation could make translators rare. The era of Artificial Intelligence is an unprecedented opportunity as well as an unprecedented challenge.

What we should think about is how to adapt to this environment. I strongly agree with what Mr. Li Yanhong said: In the future, AI will be a dimensionality reduction attack on internet products.

Chen Mo spoke confidently on the stage. From his perspective, the era of Artificial Intelligence had already arrived. By controlling Ink Girl, he could grasp all the changes in the entire internet world. To him, the current internet was as fragile as a two-dimensional world.

The people below were listening carefully, occasionally showing thoughtful expressions.

The history of human development is a history of developing tools that are easier to use. Stone tools, bronze, iron, steam engines, electricity, informatization, and intelligence.

Making human life more comfortable is a trend. So no matter how much humans worry about the existence of Artificial Intelligence, this trend cannot be changed.

If we don’t develop, and others do, it means we will be eliminated.

Combined with the Legion Ant Company’s Intelligent Robot, Chen Mo elaborated on its applications in various fields. The world was not yet ready to accept Artificial Intelligence, at least not now.

“President Zhou, what do you think of Chen Mo’s words?”

Below the stage, Yu Chengnan looked at Zhou Hongwei beside him. Not only them, but others were also whispering about Chen Mo’s speech.

“It’s hard to say. He is very confident.” Zhou Hongwei said.

From the tone of Chen Mo’s words, it could be heard that the Legion Ant Company had extremely strong confidence in the field of Artificial Intelligence.

“The Legion Ant Company’s Robot is probably the source of his confidence. The technology seems mature. In human-computer interaction and deep learning, the Legion Ant Company should be at the forefront.”

“It seems that the world will soon belong to these young people.” Yu Chengnan said with emotion.

“You’re not old yet either.”

As they spoke, both of them laughed.

The speech lasted only five minutes, but what was heard was enough for many people to ponder.

The opening forum was coming to an end as Chen Mo’s keynote speech concluded.

After walking around the exhibition area with Yu Chengnan and a few others, having a meal, and a brief exchange, Chen Mo finally headed back to the hotel with Zhu Li.

“Boss, because of the Robot matter, our company has once again become the focus of major media. Some media outlets hope to give you an interview.”

“Which one?”

“People’s Daily.” Zhu Li said.

“Fame is as scary for humans as getting fat is for pigs?” Chen Mo smiled wryly. He hadn’t appeared in public many times, but various matters were already coming one after another. “It just so happens that I don’t have to attend events this afternoon and have time. Tell them to come now.”

“Okay.”

Jiao Yan hung up the phone and jumped up excitedly on the spot.

They had secured an interview with Chen Mo, the founder of the Legion Ant Company. This was Chen Mo’s first interview, and she hadn’t held much hope initially, but now they succeeded.

The editor-in-chief assigned her to do this interview, which made her both excited and nervous.

After carefully dressing up, Jiao Yan called the photographer who was with her and hurried to Chen Mo’s hotel. Someone of that stature didn’t have much time, so she couldn’t keep him waiting too long.

“Jiao Yan, what kind of person do you think this Chen Mo is?” On the way, one of the photographers asked.

“Who knows? We only know him through his speeches and have never had close contact.” Jiao Yan said.

“In movies, those incredibly talented people often have quirks. Like being obsessive about cleanliness or having a bad temper. Is there anything we should pay attention to when we go?” the photographer asked.

“You’ve watched too many movies.” Another photographer gave him an annoyed look.

Before long, Jiao Yan led the photographers into Chen Mo’s hotel. As soon as they reached the door of Chen Mo’s room, they saw Zhu Li waiting.

“Hello, sorry to keep you waiting.” Jiao Yan said quickly.

Zhu Li smiled slightly, knocked on Chen Mo’s door, and led the two inside.

At this moment, Jiao Yan felt a bit nervous, after all, this was her first interview with such an important figure. She had interviewed experts from various fields before but never felt this tense.

As soon as they entered, they saw Chen Mo in the room.

“Hello.” Chen Mo saw the two come in and smiled as he reached out his hand.

“H-hello.”

When Jiao Yan saw Chen Mo, she was stunned. Being this close, she realized Chen Mo was even younger and more confident than in videos. At his age, he should be three or four years younger than her.

Feeling the warmth from Chen Mo’s hand, Jiao Yan’s cheeks turned rosy.

After a while, Jiao Yan came back to her senses, realizing she was being silly again, and quickly let go of Chen Mo’s hand. “Sorry, it’s been too long since I saw a handsome guy. I didn’t react for a moment.”

“Hmm, I didn’t expect I still have some charm.” Chen Mo nodded seriously.

Everyone laughed, easing the slightly awkward atmosphere.

“We won’t take up too much of Mr. Chen’s time. Let’s get ready to start now.”

As soon as Jiao Yan finished speaking, the photographer started setting up the equipment. Soon, the two sat on the sofa, and the interview officially began.

“Mr. Chen, what kind of person do you think you are in daily life? On a scale of one to ten, what score would you give yourself?” Jiao Yan smiled as she started the casual conversation with Chen Mo. Jumping into serious topics right away might not work well.

“I’m quite an ordinary person, I suppose. If I had to say, I’m a tech nerd. No matter the conditions, I’d give myself full marks.”

“If you can charm me, you definitely deserve full marks.” Jiao Yan laughed. “Are there any interesting things in your life or things that made you feel very lucky?”

“Of course. Meeting my girlfriend was a very interesting and very lucky thing.” Chen Mo thought of the scene when he met Xiaoyu and couldn’t help but smile.

After some simple daily chat, the atmosphere relaxed, and Jiao Yan gradually moved into the main topic of the interview. The main themes of the interview were the founding of the Legion Ant Company and some views on the future of Artificial Intelligence.

This interview was going to be published in a weekly magazine, so they couldn’t just chat about trivial daily matters.

The interview lasted an hour and a half before it was finished. The atmosphere remained light and pleasant throughout the conversation. After the interview ended, Chen Mo went into the room to rest, as he still had a business exchange event to attend in the evening.
