Chapter 67 [Promoting the first application of AI agents]
The next day, Lingjing Technology Headquarters.
"To enter the field of AI and virtual reality, do we also need to study holographic imaging technology?" Xu Changming, who took over as CEO, was somewhat unexpected when he heard Xiao Yu's decision. He was discussing the matter in Xiao Yu's office at the moment.
Xiao Yu sat on the sofa and looked at Xu Changming: "The wave of artificial intelligence has arrived. In the foreseeable future, it will accelerate into thousands of industries, empower hundreds of industries, reshape thousands of industries, help power engineers repair circuits, help The fire brigade carries out fire inspections and even assists scientists in scientific research, which will definitely become an efficiency multiplier and a new engine for development in many industries. ”
While saying this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but think about what he saw and heard in the Blue Star World.
It was a world where artificial intelligence was very advanced. For example, the bionic humanoid robots of Vitas Industrial Group were no different from humans except that they were not human.
Even an important factor that makes the revolutionary path of the Crimson Tide organization on Blue Star extremely difficult is that the Kingdom of Heaven has a huge legion of AI omnics. The soldiers of the Crimson Tide are fighting against the Crimson Tide army of armed omnics of the Kingdom of Heaven almost with their flesh and blood.
If the Crimson Tide Army hadn't also captured and armed intelligent weapons and equipment, the human warriors who relied purely on flesh and blood to fight the armed robots would have been exhausted long ago.
Even if 10 armed omnic combat units are replaced by one person on the battlefield, such a battle loss ratio is still a loss for the Crimson Tide Army. As long as the energy production of the Kingdom of Heaven continues, it is endless, and the human warriors of the Crimson Tide Army have lost one. Just one less.
But at this moment, Xu Changming said: "It is true, but this is not my company's expertise..."
Lingjing Technology first started by manufacturing precision components, and then gradually expanded to include semiconductor displays, new materials, micro-nano optical devices, robots and automation equipment.
In fact, the company has invested in robots for a long time, but it has not become the company's core business, and the investment is not much, and it is only in hardware.
"Old Xu, you are underestimating me. We are an all-around player and we are also good at playing AI." Xiao Yu said with a smile, his confident side clearly revealed. He suddenly stood up and put the tablet on his desk. Get the computer.
Xiao Yu handed it to Xu Changming and smiled: "This is a semi-finished product that I have developed. I have already thought of the first application scenario, a cross-device universal AI assistant."
Next, Xiao Yu briefly introduced Xu Changming and told him how to use this AI.
Xu Changming gradually became more and more shocked, even incredible.
To put it simply and easily understood, this tablet seems to be given a "soul" or a virtual AI assistant inside.
At the end, Xiao Yu crossed his legs and looked at Xu Changming with a smile: "How is it? Lao Xu, do you think you have done something wrong?"
Xu Changming put down the tablet and said without hesitation: "I have no objection. Even if you are a Stud AI, I have no objection. I will fully support your decision."
Xiao Yu immediately made a decision and said: "Okay, the matter of launching a new business is settled. The investment budget of 30 billion yuan is planned to be released as soon as possible to purchase a large amount of storage and computing resources. The company will purchase a supercomputer. If the budget is not enough, we can add more."
Xu Changming nodded and said: "No problem."
In the past, if Xiao Yu insisted on pushing forward, he would also support it but would reserve his personal opinions, but now he will not reserve his personal opinions and directly support it fully.
……
In the afternoon, the company's board of directors passed a resolution to launch new business and announced it in the evening. Lingjing Technology plans to invest a huge budget of 30 billion to enter the three major fields of AI field, virtual reality technology field and holographic imaging technology research and application.
At the same time, it has further launched a large-scale employee expansion. At present, the company's total number of employees has expanded to 3,200, which has more than doubled compared with half a year ago, and more than 80% of them are technical talents in the field.
The company is no longer short of money. Previously, it signed orders with major downstream manufacturers and the goods have not yet been delivered, but many customers have paid for the goods in advance.
No one can press for payment, because those who want to press for payment cannot sign the order at all. Lingjing Technology will not cooperate with such manufacturers at all. In a situation where it is completely tilted towards a seller's market, buyers have no bargaining power.
At this time, I have to say that the military played a big role. If there was no military procurement, those manufacturers would really not dare to pay in advance.
What if you, Lingjing Technology, ran away after making money and carrying the bucket? So why should you stay dumbfounded?
But knowing that the military is coming to you to place orders can serve as a strong "endorsement" to a large extent. Others won't worry that you will collect the money and run away with the bucket, and they can safely spend the money. Call me.
However, after Lingjing Technology’s announcement was released, the capital market was taken aback.
The market positions Xiao Yu's company as a company that engages in new materials, and its entry into fields such as AI and virtual reality is an unfamiliar field for investors. The key is that the investment is staggeringly large, with a total investment budget of 30 billion. Astronomical numbers.
If such a large investment goes down the drain, it will be a real loss.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
In addition, Lingjing Technology is still engaged in food processing and grain trading, and even operates supermarkets as a side business. Investors originally thought it didn't matter. Food processing, grain trading, and supermarkets are money-losing products. As long as the main business is The profits of the graphene business are sufficient, and even if you lose a little money, the high profits of the main business will be covered, and the problem will not be big.
But now we are spending tens of billions to venture into an unfamiliar field. If we lose money, it will be a big sum. Maybe all the money earned from the company's main business will be lost. What will be used to support the company's current 350 billion? market value?
Some investors were worried that the annual report performance would not be as good as expected, so they chose to sell stocks to avoid risks. As a result, the stock prices that were running at a high level began to weaken, and they were originally going to hit new highs. In the end, they made a double top because of this news.
However, fluctuations in the stock price will not affect the company's development decisions. Xiao Yu does not care about the company's stock price now. He has absolute control over the company and will not sell his stocks in the secondary market. The ups and downs have no impact on the development of the company.
……
In the days that followed, Xiao Yu actively promoted the implementation of the first application of AI agents on this side of the earth, and the company's operations were handed over to Xu Changming.
Xiao Yu personally formed a development team with the technical talents he recruited, and began to develop mobile APP applications and PC client applications for AI agents.
"Our AI assistant development process has reached 70% completion. The first version will be launched in March next year at the latest and will be open to users. The time is still very tight." Xiao Yu looked around the development teams of the development team member.
"This AI agent should have four basic capabilities." Xiao Yu said methodically: "Natural semantic understanding and computer vision, cross-application operations and cross-device operations within the application, user behavior and habit learning, and scene environment perception. , intention recognition and decision-making ability”
Xiao Yu continued: "With these four basic capabilities, it is not modest to say that our AI agent has significantly led the industry and is the leader in the world. But our goal is not satisfied with this. In the first official version Further optimization and improvements are still needed before it can be launched online for users. ”
