Chapter 3: Artificial Intelligence, Technology Without Technological Content?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Under everyone’s gaze, Anderson took a deep breath.
To be honest, before he went on stage, his palms were drenched in sweat during the one hour he sat below the stage.
After all, no one knew if everything would be as he had expected even if his plan was relatively straightforward.
The first step was to go on stage.
The second step was to start introducing his dark technology, the artificial intelligence.
However, he needed to go on stage first to grab this opportunity for himself.
After some thought, he figured the best time to get on stage would be during the halftime interval.
Because during this period, it was a relaxing time for everyone to get up and move, drink some wine, and chat.
Of course, he wasn’t stupid enough to walk up to the stage during the break.
Interrupting the break would definitely cause dissatisfaction.
Therefore, he chose to go up at the very last minute.
It was equivalent to cutting the line ahead of everyone else.
However, what a strange thing it was. After he stood on the stage, he didn’t feel nervous anymore. He suddenly had a strange feeling.
It was as if he had returned to the past when he was introducing and promoting his products to his customers.
However, he wasn’t promoting his products to a few people now. Instead, he was introducing them to a few hundred members.
There was still a similar underlying feeling.
Under the crowd’s curious gazes, Anderson adjusted the height of the microphone on the podium.
He glanced at the crowd below the stage and slowly said, “Hello, everyone. My name is Anderson.
“Now, the reason why I’m here is the same as everyone else. I’m here to showcase my technology and become a member of the Science & Technology Association. Of course, by the end of this, I’m here to change the entire world!”
After listening to Anderson’s speech, the people in the meeting were initially stunned. Then, they sneered in dissatisfaction. “Hmph, a kid who looks less than 20 years old dares to boast about changing the world?”
“This guy is very arrogant. How could he develop a technology that can change the world so easily?”
“Where did he get the courage to come to the Science & Technology Summit and say such words? What kind of scientific researcher doesn’t modestly introduce their own technology products? He doesn’t look like a scientist at all. He looks more like a salesman.”
“I think he did this to attract the president’s attention and gain recognition. But he’s still too naive. Many people here are very professional scientific researchers. It’s impossible to fool them.”
“He’s still too young. It’s good to have a goal, but it has to be based on an actual understanding of one’s own situation. When I was young, I had the same idea but had to face the reality of my dreams in the end.”
“Why don’t we listen to what this kid’s technology is? We might be able to teach him a good lesson!”
Standing on the stage, Anderson heard an undisguised mocking voice from below the stage.
Although he was a little unhappy, he still held it in.
After all, it was not surprising that most people would act that way. However, they were not him.
He looked at those who were trying to laugh at him and a smile appeared on his face.
In fact, after he obtained this artificial intelligence, he also obtained all the knowledge about it as well.
Before he came to this conference, he had already looked it up on the internet. Currently, the level of artificial intelligence development in this world was still quite low.
In terms of applications, other than the common sweeper robots and some robotic arms, not many people were focused on this area of technology.
Everyone was thinking about how to make weapons more powerful, and technology that was not related to weapons was only researched by some small companies.
Therefore, he was not worried about his own technology at all. He even thought that the small companies present might not have fully grasped it at this point either.
Of course, that was indeed the case.
At the same time, Robert, the Association’s vice president, was also a little dumbfounded when he heard Anderson’s words. What era was it now? How could there still be such a naive person?
However, when he saw Anderson’s young appearance, he understood. If he was a few decades younger, he might have had the same idea.
However, the idea was just an idea. He was not ignorant enough to go to a Science & Technology Summit and embarrass himself.
During this time, the only person who had a different opinion was President Joseph, who was sitting on the leather sofa chair at the side.
He believed that Anderson was not a braggart.
In fact, when Anderson walked to the commentary desk, the people around him had already noticed and reminded him of his own shortcomings.
He saw the young man clenching his fists tightly. It was obvious that he was making a very difficult decision.
In the end, the moment he stood on the platform, he suddenly felt relieved. His eyes were filled with confidence and a fighting spirit.
At that moment, he was certain that this kid would bring him some surprises!
And now that he heard Anderson say such words…
He was even more interested. It had been a long time since he had met such a guy.
What kind of thing could make this kid have such confidence and say that he could change the entire world?
If this kid could really do what he said…
If he was allowed to join the Science & Technology Association, perhaps it would stir up a new wave of vitality amongst their current members.
“Quiet!” Vice President Robert shouted calmly before he looked helplessly at President Joseph.
To be honest, he felt a little aggrieved. If not for the President’s signal, he would be very happy to see this kid make a fool of himself.
After all, normally, he was the one presiding over the exhibition now. In the end, he was left behind.
Letting this kid stand on the stage was akin to getting his own job stolen.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Anderson noticed the President who nodded slightly to him not far away.
A smile appeared in his eyes. He nodded in thanks as well and continued.
“I believe that many of you here are already looking into any information about me. As everyone can see, I am the heir of an arms company.
“Right now, my company is in a debt crisis and has many issues. Many of you may be thinking the same thing. How can a guy who can’t even pay off his debt be able to stand here and say such arrogant words about changing the world?
“However, what I want to say is that I do have a piece of technology that can change the world: artificial intelligence.”
Anderson slowly uttered the last two words and the conference room that had just calmed down suddenly became noisy again.
“No way, this is the so-called technology that can change the world?”
“How boring, I thought it was some new type of weapon but it turned out to be this kind of thing?”
“This is an area that no one is researching and only small companies that don’t have the ability to develop technological weapons would choose to research it.”
“With this kind of thing, even if it’s developed, what sort of benefits could it even provide?
“Maybe this guy’s design isn’t any ordinary type of artificial intelligence. Perhaps it’s the kind that you can talk to?”
“You mean like the one on your phone? Hey, Siri, what’s the weather like today? Haha!”
At this moment, Vice President Robert was also dumbfounded after hearing this. He felt that this Anderson person was just here to make a joke and couldn’t be trusted at all.
No, he had to dash this kid’s dreams before he made a fool of himself!
