"New formula: artificial intelligence + inflatable doll = girlfriend."
"If artificial intelligence + missiles come out, wouldn't war be more terrifying? If artificial intelligence becomes conscious and starts to rebel, and robots destroy human beings, wouldn't that be easy?"
"The Army Ant Company is preparing to spread artificial intelligence to every corner and then control the entire world in one fell swoop."
"Humanity is one step closer to destruction."
…
The announcement of the 'Artificial Intelligence+' project has undoubtedly caused a sensation. On the live broadcast platform, many people are expressing their concerns in comments and barrages.
Like the ordinary people watching the excitement, some of the entrepreneurs and industry leaders at the summit forum were happy and some were sad.
This is a strategic project announced again after Army Ant Company released the holographic mobile phone, and there is a lot of room for cooperation.
For some businesses, this is a very important opportunity.
If they can reach cooperation on Marching Ant's 'Artificial Intelligence+' platform, it will be great news for their company.
As soon as the project was released, many business owners began to think about how to cooperate with the Army Ant Company.
But it’s not good news for some companies developing artificial intelligence.
Twenty minutes later, Lin Shucai walked off the stage amidst the applause of the crowd. Musk, who was wearing a translation headset next to him, moved towards Chen Mo and spoke in a low voice.
"Mr. Chen, are you interested in cooperating?"
Chen Mo was a little surprised that Musk would take the initiative to talk to him: "What kind of cooperation?"
"Cooperation in autonomous driving, are you interested in investing in my company? I am seeking to privatize Tesla, recover the stock and delist it. If Mr. Chen is interested, he can become a shareholder. Your company's technology, plus the starting point of my company , I believe there will be very good results." Musk said.
Now Tesla is losing money continuously. If this problem is not solved as soon as possible, it will have a great impact on the company. In order to create the best operating environment for the company and turn it into a profit, he is considering privatizing the company and delisting it.
Now, Army Ant Company has released an intelligent core that has the potential to become autonomous driving.
Tesla's situation is no longer very good. Xu Real Estate has invested in Faraday Company and is now building a factory in China. He also has a sense of crisis and urgency.
If Army Ant cooperates with other car manufacturers, they may be in even more trouble. Moreover, his company is now entering the critical stage of building a factory in China. This news is not a good thing for him.
If Army Ant is willing to invest in them, this may be a good result.
With the support of Army Ant, there shouldn’t be much of a problem in researching autonomous driving technology, and Tesla may become the largest
"What is your valuation of your company?" Chen Mo asked.
"$80 billion." Musk didn't mince words and quoted a price he liked.
"Are you kidding?" Chen Mo shook his head and smiled: "Your company's current operating conditions are not very good. It is losing money every year. This valuation is too high."
"The losses are temporary. As long as the M3 production line is completed, we can turn losses into profits. In order to stabilize the stock, we must have good revenue data, which affects operations and management. I am a little envious that Army Ant is not a listed company." There was a hint of exclamation in Tesla's tone.
They are listed companies, and what shareholders want is money, money that appears quickly, and there is no other reason. Therefore, in terms of company operations, it is not like an army ant company at all, and cannot let go, so it has the urgency to privatize.
Chen Mo still shook his head and said nothing.
Their company has been developing self-driving electric vehicles since the beginning, and the progress is good, but it has not been announced to the public. Zhao Min is following up on this project, so when it is announced, Zhao Min will handle it.
If you cooperate with Tesla, it is not that important.
If the other party's price is right, he can invest, but the current valuation is too high, and he can't spend billions or tens of billions without receiving returns.
He still has a lot of money to use, such as the next nuclear fusion research project, which is a lot of money.
"We can also put the investment aside for now. We can also have another type of cooperation, such as licensing the source code of your smart core to us. We can discuss the licensing fee."
Musk pointed at Lin Shu, who was walking down the podium.
Although their company's autonomous driving is already a global leader, it is not perfect yet and some flaws exist, which often cause them many problems.
If we can get the smart source code of Army Ant Company and improve the vehicle system, it will definitely be a great thing.
"As for authorization, you can talk to Zhao Min. She is responsible for managing this project. If she is willing to authorize it, there will be no problem on my side."
Chen Mo threw the ball directly to Zhao Min.
Regarding smart code, the company has never authorized external licensing because this is the core technology of their company.
It didn’t seem good to directly reject Musk here, so he posed the question to Zhao Min. He believed that Zhao Min understood the meaning of smart source code better than he did, and it was impossible to authorize it to external parties.
"If Zhao Min is unwilling to authorize the source code, there is still another kind of cooperation. The 'Artificial Intelligence+' project is an open platform. Although the intelligent core is closed source, relevant permissions are open. You can also use this intelligent core to join your Programming technology can be used to form a new intelligent system. Regarding licensing fees, we can also discuss it with Zhao Min."
Chen Mo knows that mastering core technologies is the key for technology companies to make money.
For a long time in the past, the products and core technologies produced by China relied on foreign import licenses, and most of the profits were made. They were just working part-time. Now it's just that the roles are reversed, he can also do patent licensing and take most of the profits.
"Okay, then I'll have a chance to talk to President Zhao." Hearing Chen Mo's words, Musk showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but he didn't show it.
The World Artificial Intelligence Conference Forum Summit is still going on, and the next few will have featured products from major global technology leaders. Chen Mo was only interested in learning about these products, but there were no products that could make his eyes shine.
As the last technical speech of the summit forum ended, people in the audience also looked forward to it, because they knew that this year's summit forum would have a final 'peak question and answer' session.
As far as they know, the organizer invited Chen Mo to the 'Peak Q&A' session. Usually Chen Mo keeps a low profile. Zhao Min appears in many forum meetings, and Chen Mo is rarely seen.
Chen Mo came over today. This was a rare opportunity to witness the elegance of this genius.
Moreover, another highlight of the Summit Q&A session is that the host of the Summit Q&A is an intelligent robot from the Academy of Engineering.
This is the scene of the Artificial Intelligence Conference. Many people want to see China’s research and development progress in artificial intelligence. Although Army Ant Company is the leader in artificial intelligence, the intelligent robots of the Academy of Engineering are China's official technology and attract the attention of the natural world.
Amid much anticipation, the host of the conference finally spoke.
“Next is a unique activity of this year’s Artificial Intelligence Summit Forum—Peak Q&A. For this Summit Q&A, we invited two special people.
One is Mr. Chen Mo, the founder and chairman of Army Ant Company. Mr. Chen Mo pioneered a new era of artificial intelligence and is also the inventor of the seismograph; the other is the host of "Peak Q&A", an intelligent robot from the Chinese Academy of Engineering - Xia Wa, let’s first invite Xia Wa, the intelligent robot from the Academy of Engineering, to appear.
