Chapter 2334 Artificial intelligence is not omnipotent

I have visited your super intelligent manufacturing factory, but it is very sci-fi. It is hard to imagine that there is not even a single person in such a large intelligent manufacturing factory.

Jiang Nan first praised him, and then asked him: "This kind of super smart manufacturing factory has solved part of the problem of labor shortage, but it has also brought new problems. For example, many people are worried that this kind of super smart manufacturing factory will solve some of the labor shortage problems." Will the emergence and rapid expansion of smart manufacturing factories cause a large number of employees to lose their jobs?

It seems that this problem has been existing since you released this technology. Several years have passed now. What do you think now? You should stick to your original point of view. "

Wu Hao smiled and nodded: "Of course, our unmanned smart manufacturing factory has been very controversial since its emergence. Many people are worried that the emergence of this kind of unmanned manufacturing factory will take away their jobs and make them unemployment.

But this is not the case, and so far this has not happened. Because the cost of building such an unmanned manufacturing factory is very high, currently only a few large companies and factories have the ability to upgrade in this area. As for small and medium-sized enterprises, they do not have the strength in this area to realize some intelligent and unmanned tasks. In fact, many of the projects we have taken over are of this type.

Unmanned production equipment is only used to replace some repetitive and mechanical work. For example, some skilled and technical jobs are basically handled by workers with superb craftsmanship in these factories.

Secondly, fewer and fewer people are going to work in factories. This is a trend. The emergence of our intelligent unmanned factories is to fill in the factories that have stopped production due to lack of workers, and will not affect some existing well-run factories.

Finally, whether everyone likes it or not, unmanned intelligence will follow the trend in the future and is irreversible. It will not change due to personal will or the will of a small number of people.

To put it bluntly, even if we don’t do it, the work will still be done by others, and they will do it in an intensified manner.

This technology is very important. It plays a very important role in national defense and security, social economy and people's livelihood. So it is better to have it in our own hands than in someone else's. "

"Then do you think intelligent unmanned manufacturing factories will eventually replace all manned factories in the future?" Jiang Nan asked him.

Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "No, at least not at present and for a long time in the future. As for what will happen in the future, this is not what we expected.

My guess is that artificial manufacturing factories will always exist in the future, but they will not become mainstream. They will transform to produce some high-end customized products, just like today's luxury goods. Hand-made manufacturing is much more expensive than machine-made.

The advantage of an intelligent unmanned factory is that it can reduce production and manufacturing costs, does not require the use of workers, produces independently, and produces consistent product quality.

This is an advantage and a disadvantage, because human beings have different aesthetics, so they pursue personalization and differentiation. This kind of uniform product is obviously not more attractive than hand-produced differentiated products.

Secondly, there are many industries where artificial intelligence is not omnipotent and cannot replace all jobs, such as the nursing industry, service industry, including some high-end agricultural fields, art and culture fields, etc. Artificial intelligence will never be able to compare with humans. "

Speaking of this, Wu Hao looked at Jiang Nan and smiled: "To give a very simple example, do you like to eat peaches with the same taste, or do you like to eat peaches with different tastes?"

Hearing Wu Hao's words, Jiang Nan tilted his head slightly to think, and then replied: "Of course they are peaches with different flavors. If the peaches all taste the same, it would be too boring."

Wu Hao smiled and nodded: "This is the biggest shortcoming of artificial intelligence. Everything it creates has been designed by us. It is difficult for it to have the divergent creative ability of independent thinking." Jiang Nan put down the tea cup and smiled. He nodded, and then said to Wu Hao: "Speaking of artificial intelligence, there was a video that was very popular before. There was a video on the Internet that was said to be shot by your company's employees inside your company's headquarters campus. Trending videos.

It was late at night, and a robot suddenly appeared walking on the road in your company's campus. The employee was frightened and filmed it with his mobile phone, and then uploaded it to the Internet, causing an uproar.

Although you responded afterwards that it was a fake CG video, many netizens did not believe it. Some technical experts even analyzed the video and concluded that the video did not have any traces of computer CG processing and was genuine.

So this matter has been very controversial on the Internet. I just take this opportunity today. Can you give us a positive response? "

Forehead……

Wu Hao couldn't help but feel a little dizzy after hearing this incident and the question raised by Jiang Nan. Indeed, this incident is true. One of their test bionic humanoid robots malfunctioned, escaped from the experimental transfer box, and then walked around the company headquarters campus.

It was later discovered by the company's security system, and people were dispatched in time to recover the bionic humanoid robot. But unexpectedly, someone filmed the video and posted it online, which immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.

In order to prevent the matter from further escalating and causing panic among the public, Wu Hao decided to suppress the matter and immediately asked the public relations department to handle it urgently. I just didn't expect that the public relations department would handle it this way, which also caused the matter to never completely settle down and start to become confusing.

When Wu Hao saw this result, although he was a little helpless, he had no choice but to accept it. Anyway, as long as this kind of thing is not solid, let everyone talk about it, it is of no use.

As for Jiang Nan, after noticing Wu Hao's expression, she immediately said with a smile: "If you don't want to answer this question, you don't have to answer it. We can just cut it out later."

Wu Hao smiled and shook his head when he heard this, and then said to Jiang Nan: "This is actually a virtual reality CG special effect, but we used brand-new technology, so no one found the flaw, causing many people to think it was real. .

In fact, we want it to be true. But, we still need to keep working hard.

We have also been actively researching humanoid simulation robot technology, and we have achieved very good results in this area. Although it is not as good as in the video, it is very close.

I believe it won’t be long before our humanoid simulation robot will be unveiled to everyone, so you can look forward to it. "
