Chapter 2095 - 2095: 2095

Yes, the artificial intelligence robot project in Valle!

Although Mark was aware of the risks of artificial intelligence backfiring on humans, Liu Zhizhong's words moved him.

"The creation, development, and constant improvement and evolution of artificial intelligence is a miracle in the history of human technology. Undeniably, your company has already achieved extraordinary accomplishments in this field, perhaps leading the world, which is not an exaggeration, right?"

"Allowing artificial intelligence to continue evolving under conditions acceptable and controllable by humans is a great possibility. Although we cannot avoid the risk of AI backlash, such as weakening human capabilities and excessive dependence on AI, ultimately leading to adverse effects and consequences, possibly even widespread negative impacts. However... we cannot completely deny the positive role of AI in human progress."

"All high-risk specialized industries can be handed over to AI, thus avoiding human casualties. For example, high-altitude operations, mining, military testing, space exploration. For humanity, currently, the cost of life in these areas is too high, isn't it?"

"Humans are still undergoing the torment of war, which is not a baptism but suffering. Soldiers die and are injured by the thousands, many civilians suffer innocent harm, refugee issues, humanitarian disasters continue to occur. So, AI can be more oriented toward addressing and solving these issues."

"Currently, drones have already intervened in warfare and achieved good combat results. Targeted assassination and precise strikes have become the norm, but there's no avoiding the risk of harming the innocent, right?"

"If AI could enter the military domain and achieve unmanned battlefields, intelligent robot combat, wouldn't that be quite an ideal state?"

Mark understood quickly and responded, "Does the president want to have an intelligent robot army?"

Liu Zhizhong could only spread his hands and smile, "That is a dream, but it might be realizable. The primary task of an intelligent robot army is special operations, participating in global peacekeeping missions, which is my original intention. Of course, it could also become an important part of Valle's defense, undeniably. If this project can successfully launch, you only need to provide technical support, Valle will provide funding, and Yangdi and other production resources will support you with no limit, unlimited support!"

Mark was somewhat hesitant because the United States government had also approached him about similar research projects, but he refused them.

The U.S. government had discussed this even before President Landen. The current President Landen talked about it, and Plant after winning also discussed it, but Mark has always maintained a rejecting attitude.

Firstly, Mark believes the ultimate development model of AI is complete intelligence. Robots possessing autonomous awareness is a terrifying prospect. Human methods are almost uncontrollable, unable to thoroughly intervene.

Secondly, while developing a robot army may benefit human peace, it also poses uncontrollable catastrophic factors. Once the army is out of control, disaster begins.

Lastly, importantly, the U.S. government was only willing to invest thirty percent, and Mark needed to cover seventy percent of the research and production funds, which had to come from Mark's personal accounts, without raising global capital. Then, after the product's success, the U.S. government would have one hundred percent exclusive purchase rights and would place large orders with Mark's company.

Mark is a genius, but he's also a businessman.

He's currently working on brain-machine interfaces, aware that this is a money-burning project. Working on intelligent robots would be even more costly. The U.S. government's unwillingness to invest, leaving Mark to bear the brunt, naturally makes him reluctant.

Now, Liu Zhizhong's offer is something Mark cannot refuse!

Especially with no limit, unlimited support, for Mark, it's truly thrilling, causing adrenaline to surge rapidly.

He is a tech fanatic, and making money isn't his top priority, but utilizing Valle's economic capital to complete robot development is truly an unparalleled opportunity.

Robots can be used not only militarily but also in civilian use, and the market is broad, so who wouldn't want to do it?

However, those who want to either have money but no technology or have technology but are restricted, making it hard to have it both ways.

Facing Liu Zhizhong, Mark couldn't help but question, "Doing this, Mr. President, will face considerable resistance, especially pressure from the United States as they failed in this project; then, global oppositional forces will also exert pressure on you; finally, will your people, parliament agree? Will your successors fulfill the contract?"

"None of these are problems, because they are initially problems. As long as there are problems, there are always solutions, right? Mr. Mark, I greatly appreciate your thinking, and it seems we might be similar people..."

"..."

Anyway, hey, the AI robot project was still achieved in collaboration and officially announced.

Once this news broke, along with the signing ceremony of the two, the world was instantly shocked, with discussions raging like waves, reaching an extremely heated point.

The entire world was shocked and went mad, with all kinds of voices everywhere!

This time, allies led by the United States declared that this was a mad act of humanity and called for swift implementation of global AI application legislation, requiring moral and legal constraints, or the consequences would be dire.

Great East Pot, unexpectedly, along with its Pot Family groups and followers, all condemned Mark and the Wale Republic.

Of course, experts also jumped out one after another, setting the pace, and driving a wave of brainless trolls, triggering a variety of curses. Directly attacking Mark by bringing up his transgender child; directly attacking Liu Zhizhong, labeling the President of Valle as a new era Hitler...

There are always such people in the world, who when unable to do something themselves, don't want others to do it, or don't want others to succeed.

In fact, once the news broke, Mark's stock skyrocketed. The Wale Republic's stock market practically became a new world financial hub, showing spectacular and alarming growth...

But at this time, President Landen of the United States couldn't sit still and wanted to personally contact Liu Zhizhong, wondering how this young person and Mark could create such a fuss by meeting.

And Plant also couldn't sit still and wanted to personally contact Mark, needing to have a good talk with this crazy genius. He gave the project I wanted to the Wale Republic, which is so unethical, even God would punish you!
