Chapter 1724 (1/2)
Xiao Yunhai said with a wry smile: ”I really don't understand these technical issues. Mr. LAN, are you going to change your research direction to artificial intelligence technology? ”
LAN Jiancheng nodded and said, ”yes. Mr. Xiao, we believe that artificial intelligence technology will be the fourth technological revolution of mankind. Now every country has begun to pay attention to this aspect. I think we should also put artificial intelligence technology on the agenda, so as not to lag behind the whole era. ”
Christie said: ”Mr. LAN, we are not technicians. We don't understand how convenient artificial intelligence will be for human development. But we know the economy, and I want to know how much benefit this can bring us? ”
LAN Jiancheng said solemnly on his face: ”it's immeasurable. For example, like a search engine, it seems very simple, in fact, it is composed of a variety of different algorithms. When we search for something, there will be countless spam messages or some information that has no effect on us. It's hard to find what you want. ”
”Well, now search engines are only accurate, while intelligent search engines can be humanized and intelligent. It will provide you with the most suitable information according to your requirements. If the information changes in the future, it will try its best to inform you. This is the inevitable requirement of future development. So I can't judge how much benefit this industry can bring us. ”
Xiao Yunhai was very interested in artificial intelligence and said, ”what do you need?”
Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, LAN Jiancheng knew there was a way. He even said, ”support from funds and personnel. If we want to go to the forefront of artificial intelligence technology, we need to set up a separate research institute. It's better to have 3000 people, with an annual R & D fund of 50 billion US dollars. This is not included in the existing R & D funding. ”
”It's impossible.” Christie exclaimed, ”Mr. LAN, according to your opinion, we have to give your lab more than 100 billion dollars a year. The burden is too heavy. I don't believe any company in the world will do that. ”
LAN Jiancheng blushed and said awkwardly, ”Ms. Christie, this is indeed a lot, but once there is a result, we can't believe the benefits gained.”
Kyle Morris nodded and said, ”that's right. Artificial intelligence is the trend of future development. If we want to have a foothold in the future, we must put it in the first place. ”
Christie said, ”but you're asking too much. Fifty billion dollars a year, not even the Bessie and Anderson families would agree
Xiao Yunhai said: ”they don't agree, I agree.”
All of them were surprised and looked at Xiao Yunhai with a firm face.
”Ms Christie, 100 billion dollars, we can't afford it.”
Christie said: ”but...”
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: ”but, you are afraid that the money you put in will be wasted in the end, right?”
Christie nodded and said, ”that's right.”
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said: ”you can't look forward to doing things. Like 3D technology, when we researched and developed it, everyone was doing it. We didn't end up with it. Artificial intelligence represents the future. I don't want to miss it. Even if we pay a heavy price for it, we will do it. ”
Christie sighed and said, ”Mr. Shaw, I'm just giving you advice. It's all your money anyway.”
The crowd burst into laughter.
Xiao Yunhai said, ”that's good. From today on, artificial intelligence research has been put on the agenda. The laboratory will be the most important place for the whole Yunqing network company. After the establishment of our security company, I will send someone to guard it 24 hours a day. ”
Seeing Xiao Yunhai's support, LAN Jiancheng's three people all stood up and said, ”Mr. Xiao, you can rest assured that we will succeed.”
After chatting for a while, they all dispersed. Xiao Yunhai left Wen Yanhong and Christie alone.
”Mr. Wen, I want to sell 10% of Yunqing network company's shares to Anderson family. What's your opinion?” Xiao Yunhai asked.
Without thinking about it, Wen Yanhong refused and said, ”it's better not to sell if you can. If you really want to sell, the price will have to be discussed. ”
