Chapter 674
"A few months ago, I was at my alma mater, drawing a blueprint for the city of the future.
Of course, I can only say that it is just my personal fantasy of the future city, not the public’s.
As a result, Jinling City immediately began planning the city of the future, and Longteng Company was very supportive of their approach.
The official efficiency is very high and the progress is smooth, but our topic today is not this.
You may ask, what will the city of the future look like?
What kind of life is it like to live in the city of the future? I will talk about the future city in my heart again in detail.
Future technology is inseparable from one word: intelligence.
The city of the future is undoubtedly a smart city.
Artificial intelligence will be the most important R&D technology for a long time to come.
Don’t worry that artificial intelligence will destroy humanity.
I have killed it many times on various occasions. The probability of it destroying mankind is trillions of times smaller than the probability of nuclear weapons destroying mankind.
Of course, this is not what we are discussing.
The question we are discussing is how can a city be considered smart?
Houses, roads and people come together to form a city, which is the most basic structure of the city.
People are inherently intelligent, so building a smart city mainly starts with houses and roads.
Autonomous driving has become one of the technological battlefields where all parties compete.
Coupled with the emergence of urban brains and intelligent transportation, these are important components of road intelligence.
Next, smart houses will also be a major trend.
The concepts we have now, such as smart homes, smart appliances, and voice assistants, have essentially formed the prototype of a smart house.
It’s just that the intelligence of language assistants varies. This brain cannot be unified and allowed to grow.
But it doesn't take long to get out of this situation.
We might as well imagine life in the city of the future.
When you get off work from the company, artificial intelligence automatically scans your face and clocks in for you.
Starting from the moment you step out of the company door, artificial intelligence controls the idle elevator and automatically arrives at your floor to wait.
This can greatly reduce your waiting time for the elevator.
The vehicles are driverless and intelligent transportation will also minimize the probability of traffic jams.
Maybe on your way home, you don’t need to drive, just lie quietly on a chair and rest for half an hour.
And the moment you enter the gate of the community, the building's artificial intelligence will automatically open the gate of the building and control the landing of the idle elevator.
After returning home, artificial intelligence face recognition automatically unlocks the door, turns on the lights, air conditioner, or computer and TV.
Even the moment you enter the house, people have boiled water ready for you.
Avoid wasting time on trivial matters and you can spend an hour or more at the end of the day.
What can you do in this hour? No need for me to explain.
Work out once, or quietly drink a cup of coffee, read a book, or read ten news articles……"
"Mr. Lin Feng, do you think it is a bit premature to talk about future cities now?"
The person who stood up to ask the question was a Western elite. From the looks of it, he was the management of a certain company.
After Lin Feng's speech, the people in the audience below began to feel uneasy.
For many people, what Lin Feng described smart city, there is still a long way to go
"Not too early, let me give you an idea of time, within the next five years.
If there are no accidents, Jinling City will build the prototype of a smart city."
Lin Feng shook his head in denial and said
"A unified artificial intelligence platform has emerged. Our company’s artificial intelligence + platform is to create an intelligent core.
City brain, artificial intelligence + communication, artificial intelligence + building, artificial intelligence + machine.
Artificial intelligence + business, artificial intelligence + life, etc. These are no longer movies.
Our company headquarters and employee dormitories have all implemented the concept of 'artificial intelligence+'.
This concept is being promoted to Jinling City and even cities across China.
According to our statistics, after Jinling City launched the smart transportation project, the average waiting time of citizens at sidewalk traffic lights dropped by 15 seconds compared with before.
In a city with millions of people, this is a terrifying number.
The traffic congestion rate in Jinling City has dropped by more than 70% compared with the same period in previous years.
Even during the peak hours of commuting, there will be no large-scale traffic jams.
Urban road infrastructure is fully utilized through the analysis of big data and artificial intelligence.
Next, as long as driverless transportation becomes popular, the basic prototype of smart cities will be formed. This day will not be too far away."
Lin Feng's words caused a commotion below.
Looking at the hands raised by everyone, Lin Feng nodded and stood up.
"Mr. Lin Feng, we all know that Gates, Musk and other big guys, as well as many experts, are worried that artificial intelligence will bring crisis to mankind.
Why are you so sure that artificial intelligence will not bring crisis to mankind?
When building smart cities, aren’t you worried that artificial intelligence will control humans and destroy them?"
"Why am I more sure than them? Because I am more professional than them.
To be a bit crazy, Longteng Company’s current artificial intelligence is the most advanced, and I am the person who knows artificial intelligence best."
Lin Feng answered. This is not the first time he has heard this question.
"Will artificial intelligence bring crisis to mankind? It is possible, but the probability is pitiful.
There are countless things that can destroy mankind, such as a specially mutated infectious virus or a large meteorite hitting the earth.
Nuclear war, climate change on the earth itself, radiation from the universe, or the sudden appearance of three-body aliens, etc.
The probability that artificial intelligence will destroy humanity exists, but it is calculated based on statistics.
This probability is almost the same as the end of the world tomorrow.
You have to understand that it is impossible for humans to hand over nuclear warheads to artificial intelligence control, and science fiction movies are all lies.
Whether it will bring crisis to mankind depends on human ability.
Strictly speaking, artificial intelligence is just a tool created by humans, a tool that makes humans powerful.
In the barbaric era, our ancestors created tools to defeat nature and survive and evolve. They created swords and guns to kill in wars. Did swords and guns destroy mankind?
No, these tools only make humans stronger.
What destroys mankind is mankind's own desires and madness, and has nothing to do with tools, even if they are advanced tools.
If a gun goes off or a car loses control, people will die. Human beings will immediately search for the cause.
When repairing a damaged tool, you cannot allow it to spiral out of control.
Will humans scrap all cars because they occasionally lose control and kill people? impossible.
The artificial intelligence in the movie is completely out of control and creates robots to kill humans. The probability is about the same as that of all nuclear bombs suddenly exploding together. _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection,
