To be honest, suits are really uncomfortable to wear.
Jiang Chen remembered that he only wore it once during his graduation defense and two or three times during job interviews.
However, looking back at Xia Shiyu, she wore a beige-black professional attire that looked quite stylish. The black hair was tied back, the black-rimmed glasses were still on the bridge of the nose, and the face was painted with some decent light makeup. To be honest, he actually thinks she looks better in a ponytail, but it doesn't give her a mature and professional look.
"Are you ready?" Xia Shiyu looked at his relaxed look with some worry.
Jiang Chen shrugged and said with a smile, "Don't worry."
This is not very reassuring...
Although Xia Shiyu wanted to complain like this, seeing Jiang Chen's relaxed look made people feel more secure than being nervous.
Thinking this, she breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
"come on."
"Inevitable." Jiang Chen smiled.
Just kidding, what's there to be afraid of being pointed at by a camera? I don't know how many guns I've been pointed at... Well, it doesn't seem like something worth showing off.

The public conference room on the first floor of Guanglu Building was crowded.
In the semi-arc stepped venue, reporters from the major invited media had already taken their seats in advance, and cameras were placed in the last row as usual. Since seating was based on number, the press conference seemed fairly orderly.
But the media's enthusiasm for Future Man 1.0 obviously exceeded Jiang Chen's expectations. The 100-square-meter conference room still seemed a bit crowded.
The curtain opened, and flashlights came clicking.
Jiang Chen smiled and waved his hand kindly. Looking at the CTV, Renren Daily, and even the overseas C and CNN symbols, his heart was beating secretly.
Let me go, the feeling of being pointed at by a camera is really extraordinary... Even I started to feel nervous.
After calming down for a moment, Jiang Chen read out his opening remarks under the expectant eyes of the media.
"First of all, I would like to thank all the media for taking time out of their busy schedules to attend our Futureman Technology press conference. I believe that you all already have a certain understanding of Futureman 1.0. In order not to waste your time, we would like to I won’t go into details about its functions here. The nature of today’s press conference is mainly to clarify some rumors and misunderstandings about Futureman Technology Company in the market. So in the most efficient way, I choose to give all my time to you. Media. Please speak in order of seating. In order to give every media member a chance to speak, each speech is limited to one question."
Xia Shiyu, who was standing backstage, almost tripped and stared blankly in the direction of Jiang Chen, completely dumbfounded.
How can anyone just leave the issue to the media without saying anything
Without giving a simple and comprehensive explanation in advance, if someone asked you an extremely difficult question, would you be able to deal with it
The media were also stunned for a moment. Jiang Chen went against common sense and directly entered the media question session, which made them feel caught off guard. They have seen some that do not have a question-and-answer session for the media, but they have never seen one that omits the most important explanation session.
And speaking according to the seat, it made them a little uncomfortable who were used to asking questions.
But Jiang Chen didn't care about so many rules and regulations, how to organize them in the most efficient way. And if you don't think carefully when you call your name, you can easily offend people. Why don't you just line up and speak and I'll answer it.
Not to mention, those local media reporters who often "raised their hands" and never got called out were quite grateful to Jiang Chen for his actions. It doesn't matter if you're at the back, as long as you won't be short of opportunities to speak.
On the other hand, Jiang Chen looked calm. As for why he did this, he had a certain degree of consideration.
Anyway, what you are asking is nothing more than security, privacy and other issues. Even if I clarify it once, you will still take advantage of the loopholes in my language and give it a good or bad review based on your own preferences.
Okay, sir, I'll just let you ask the question first, and I'll answer it. A media outlet only has one chance to ask questions. I won't speak until you speak.
Jiang Chen asked himself that if he played his cards according to common sense, he would definitely not be able to defeat these old fools. No matter how capable a girl like Xia Shiyu was, her manuscripts would definitely have weaknesses picked out.
However, those media reporters were indeed experienced in the field. Although they were surprised by Jiang Chen's approach, they had already prepared a lot of questions after doing relevant homework beforehand. The media reporter in line 1 stood up and asked the questions written in the notebook step by step.
"I am a reporter from 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 I would like to ask Mr. Jiang Chen, whether it will really work as people fear In that way, it becomes a time bomb buried in the user's mobile phone, threatening the user's information security?" The younger-looking man asked quickly.
"This is a good question, but first I need to quote our company's recent commitment. Once a user suffers financial losses due to Xiaobai's procedural errors, we will fully compensate them." Jiang Chen shrugged teasingly. , and then continued, "In addition, from the perspective of a designer, I can say very responsibly that as long as it is a program, it will comply with the settings of the code. So you don't have to worry about what Xiaobai will do to disgrace the user." thing, because I don’t allow it.”
There were bursts of discussion and scratching of notes in the venue, and immediately the second person stood up again.
"I am a reporter from Renren Daily. I would like to ask Mr. Jiang Chen. In terms of artificial intelligence, our country's legislation is still at a blank stage. So regarding the "Artificial Intelligence Management Act" that may be brewing, would you like to ask Futureren Technology Company about its response? What do you think?" A middle-aged man stood up and looked at Jiang Chen and said.
Renren Daily? This is a bit troublesome... Jiang Chen's thoughts were spinning rapidly.
As an official media, it is the mouthpiece of the government. It may not be that simple to ask what this sentence means. Are you testing me? Or are you hinting at me
"Of course, Futureman Technology adheres to the principle of strictly abiding by laws and regulations, and unconditionally abides by and supports all bills promulgated by the government. According to the specific content of the Artificial Intelligence Management Act that will be introduced at that time, Futureman Technology will cooperate with the government in adjusting its artificial intelligence business in China. "
Jiang Chen's answer was very cautious, showing support and cooperation, but said nothing about his views on the proposal. He vaguely speculated that this might be a matter of legislative authority, because the way to regulate artificial intelligence is almost blank in the laws of any country in the world. After all, for now, the world’s research on artificial intelligence is still in the exploratory stage. At least none of them have reached "primary artificial intelligence" in the true sense.
After hearing Jiang Chen's answer, the middle-aged man sat down thoughtfully.
Then another blond beauty stood up.
"I am a reporter from C. I would like to ask Mr. Jiang Chen. As we all know, artificial intelligence requires powerful hardware equipment to match it. Take IM Company's atson as an example, it is driven by 90 IM servers and 360 computer chips to maintain its operation. . However, the Future Man 1.0 developed by your company can run on mobile phones. How is this possible?"
C raised questions from a technical perspective. Judging from the reactions at the scene, it seems that many reporters have also expressed concern about this.
"I'm sorry that this design is a trade secret. But what I can disclose is that the problems involved are mainly on the database. The core of the 'software-based artificial intelligence' developed by our team is not hardware, and the computing requirements are not high. The key It's just the database in it. It accepts external information and then outputs the contents of the database. As long as the compression of the huge database is handled well, Futureman 1.0 can completely run on the mobile terminal. Obviously, we have done it."
Jiang Chen confidently used the theory Du Yongkang told him to make nonsense. Anyway, he didn't have to worry about experts being able to expose it. Because at this moment, he is the only person in the world, or his team, who has "made" such a creative breakthrough in the field of artificial intelligence. Its significance is similar to that of Indos 1.0 launched by Bill Gates.
database
The eyes of all the media reporters lit up and they remembered.
"I am a reporter from the Sankei Shimbun. I would like to ask Mr. Jiang Chen, today's scientific community is at a difficult stage of exploration of artificial intelligence. I wonder if Mr. Jiang Chen has the magnanimity of Andy who developed Android back then, and expressed his enthusiasm to the world. Is this magical 'artificial intelligence database' open to the world?" A short man in a suit stood up, bowed first, and then asked unhurriedly.
There was a subtle hint of sarcasm at the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth.
This is too shameless, for the scientific community? tolerance
According to what you said, wouldn't it be more meaningful to make all your country's technologies public
However, it seems that it is expected that the Japanese right-wing media, which is accustomed to being shameless, would ask such a mindless question
"I think this has certain practical significance. After all, it is for mankind. So, to show your sincerity, maybe you can first persuade your country's government to give up all arms? This will be a historic step in promoting the human peace process. I look forward to it Your magnanimity.”
There were bursts of laughter at the scene, and many Chinese reporters laughed at the Japanese for being so shameless. The short man glanced at Jiang Chen hatefully, then sat back with an aggrieved and embarrassed look on his face.
Jiang Chen shrugged and then motioned for the next reporter to speak. He had nothing to say to shameless people.
"I am a reporter from CNN. I would like to ask Mr. Jiang Chen whether your company's Future Man 1.0 is as confidential as you said about user privacy? After all, your company has done a great job in encrypting this software. It is as flawless as an egg, and no one can verify its security from a program point of view. If a 'novice' can pass the information obtained from the user to the computer in your office, of course this is just an example, but Can you prove it won't happen?"
This is a very acute question, and it is estimated that many people are also worried about this issue.
For a cold program, even if its backdoor is wide open, you may not think of questioning its security unless the problem is completely exposed.
But for a living program, even if the developer repeatedly states that it is safe, you may still be suspicious of it because it is too similar to humans.
"I'm not FI. What's the point of asking for users' privacy?" Jiang Chen laughed and spread his hands, "Then let me make an analogy. According to the "Washington Post" report, the CIA and FI directly contacted Enter the central servers of nine Internet giants such as Microsoft, Google, and Facebook to track users’ emails, phone calls, files, videos, and other information in real time. What do you think of this?”
"Excuse me, does this have anything to do with today's question?" The CNN reporter had a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.
"Of course there is. What I want to explain is that whether privacy is violated has nothing to do with the program itself. Because even if it is artificial intelligence, it does not have any concept of benefits. Even if you want to uninstall it that has been with you for many days, it will I will also wave to you and say goodbye with a smile. It can only be another human being who would try to peek into other people's privacy. And I promise here that I will never do that! As long as I am the chairman of the board for one day, Future Human Technology You won’t do that!”
Jiang Chen looked directly into the reporter's eyes and spoke loudly and forcefully.
The venue burst into applause.
Raising his hand to signal for silence, Jiang Chen handed the time to the next reporter.
Jiang Chen also answered the next questions fluently. In short, he said what he could say, talked about what he couldn't talk about, and talked about business secrets when he couldn't talk about it. Only in terms of acting skills, 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?" and even "Does Director Jiang have a girlfriend?" This is completely idle. All questions were asked.
However, these questions were all fine, and Jiang Chen simply gave a series of answers such as "We are studying the specific time," "No," and "Not yet."
Another interesting question is "Does the name Futureman Company have any profound meaning?"
Jiang Chen replied in a half-joking tone: "Because my team and I are as far-sighted as people from the future."
There is also a more sensitive question, "Will artificial intelligence be used in the military field?"
In this regard, Jiang Chen's answer was relatively clear, "Social artificial intelligence only has social functions. It cannot calculate the trajectory of artillery shells for you. You have to rely on high-performance computers and related experts. Unless you are worried about your soldiers lying down He was so bored in the trenches that I wanted to find him a companion to chat with.”
It is precisely because of his unabashed attitude that he has won the favor of most media reporters.
Of course, media with opposite attitudes also exist. For example, the short guy from the Sankei Shimbun was thinking about crooked ideas with sinister eyes. He had already thought of how to discredit Jiang Chen.
But who cares? At least Jiang Chen didn't care.
In other words, who cares what a media that only distorts facts says
In the final closing speech and a round of applause, the first press conference of Futureman Technology came to a successful conclusion.

"I didn't expect that your ability to perform on the spot is quite strong?" Xia Shiyu looked at Jiang Chen walking towards him and nodded happily.
"Haha," Jiang Chen raised his head and smiled narcissistically, then raised his eyebrows at her proudly and said, "Did you just find out? This chairman has always been such a naughty person."
"... Can you be more civilized? You are considered a public figure after all." Xia Shiyu spat lightly.
public figure
When Jiang Chen realized this problem, a wry smile appeared on his face.
Damn it, then don’t I have to be careful about everything I do in the future? So how can you still enjoy life
"I said... shouldn't I be pointed at by the camera when I go out?" Jiang Chen asked, scratching his head with a smile.
"..." Xia Shiyu stared at Jiang Chen wordlessly for a while, then sighed, "The public figure here refers to the image of the company represented by your words and deeds. If you do it in public Uncivilized behavior will directly affect the public's impression of our company. If it is photographed and posted online, it may further escalate... Why are you looking at me like this?"
"I just feel that you care more about future people's technology than I do, and I'm very pleased." Jiang Chen looked at Xia Shiyu with a smile.
"..." Xia Shiyu was speechless again.
Only that cold look remained unchanged.
Jiang Chen shrugged boredly, and then prepared to change out of this awkward suit.
"That's right." When Jiang Chen was about to leave the backstage, Xia Shiyu suddenly stopped him.
"Huh?" Jiang Chen turned around and looked at Xia Shiyu in confusion.
"Well... Well, that's out of consideration for the company's reputation. Of course, I don't want to interfere with your private life, but do you really not have a girlfriend?" Xia Shiyu did not look in Jiang Chen's direction. , but stared straight at the open space aside, the index finger of his right hand unconsciously circled the temple, and asked in a calm tone.
Jiang Chen was stunned, his expression was indescribably weird.
"What if there is?" He poked her tentatively.
"!"
My temples are going to be torn off by you!
"But in fact it's not." Jiang Chen quickly added.
"..."
Is this a raised corner of the mouth
At this moment, no matter how stupid Jiang Chen is, he understands...
"Ahem, if that's the case, then I'm relieved. But you should pay due attention to your private life, because if the news of your singleness is reported as a serious matter, there may be some malicious intentions. ... ...Well, just pay attention anyway."
Jiang Chen stared blankly at Xia Shiyu's rare talkative appearance, with an indescribably weird expression.
"Could it be that... you like me?"
