Chapter 1005: Artificial Intelligence Competition! Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios A week later, in the capital. 20 developed countries, including the US, China, Japan and South Korea, participated in the artificial intelligence competition held at the Capital Science and Technology Museum. This competition attracted the attention of the news media from more than 100 countries. Not only were the American people watching the live broadcast on television or on the Internet, but netizens all over the world were also watching the live broadcast and discussing enthusiastically on social media. Fox News. News anchor Barry White was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He faced the audience and said, “Good evening, everyone. The artificial intelligence competition is about to begin. Director Callum from the American Academy of Science and I will be explaining this competition to everyone. “In this competition, every participating country will exhibit their artificial intelligence creations one by one. Thereafter, the 20 countries will give their scores for the other competitions at the same time. They can also give themselves a score. The country with the highest score will win. “Director Callum, what do you think of this competition? Do you think artificial intelligence is important to us? What do you think are our chances of winning?” Director Callum was a 70-year-old man, but he looked energetic and had a lot of experience. In response, Director Callum said, “Of course it’s important. Many people think that artificial intelligence has nothing to do with us commoners, but that’s not the case. Self-driving cars, drones, and cell phone virtual assistants, these things already have real-life applications. “There is also medical treatment. In the future, when everyone goes to the hospital to see a doctor, the doctor might not be the one treating you, but artificial intelligence. They can analyze your condition in a shorter time than a human doctor and offer the best treatment. “Based on my understanding of artificial intelligence, I think we’re at least in the top three. Especially after we have Mr. Canine Steele. His research on artificial intelligence can be said to be the best. It has exceeded our academy’s level of research by at least 20 years!” Barry White: “Yes, I heard that the artificial intelligence system sent by our country is called Little Steele. It’s named after Mr. Canine Steele. Let’s wait and see how many points Little Steele can get in the competition.” 10 minutes later, the competition officially began. Many foreigners at the scene and on the internet also started to clamor confidently. “America’s artificial intelligence development has lagged behind the past years. China and Japan have already progressed beyond them!” “It’s not just China and Japan. Russia, Canada and Germany also have better artificial intelligence technology than America now. How dare they hold the 20-Nation competition in the US capital?” “It’s already good enough if America can enter the top five. They’re not that good at artificial intelligence. They are not as innovative, hahaha.” “…” America had not shown any recent progress in most of the technology fields, including artificial intelligence. Therefore, everyone looked down on the US. Soon, various countries began to display their artificial intelligence systems. There was not much to see from the smaller countries. It felt like they were just there to make up the numbers. Only when Russia stepped forth did the competition become more interesting. Barry White said, “We’re looking at Russia’s artificial intelligence. It’s an owl-shaped drone. It really looks like an owl.” Director Callum said, “The Russian side always had a unique design on bionic avian drones. This drone is very suitable for reconnaissance missions. When carrying out missions in different regions, this drone can also morph into the shape of different birds.” Barry White said, “Yes, this is a military application of artificial intelligence. Three countries have given Russia full marks of 10 points. Their average score is 9.1 points. It’s the highest score so far.” “Next up is Japan. They’re showing off their artificial intelligence technology in the area of autonomous driving…” “It is finally China’s turn! They are considered the most formidable contenders for this competition!” “Oh, China’s presentation is in a sitcom format. A couple is sitting on the sofa watching television. The artificial intelligence should be the robot sweeping the floor, right? Does China just want to present a ‘cleaning robot’?” Many American families already had cleaning robots. They were no longer considered high-tech. As one of the strongest contenders, China would definitely not display such low-end technology in this 20-Nation competition. Suddenly, two men with guns barged in. The couple watching television on the sofa panicked. Many people also started to feel afraid. What should they do if they encountered criminals? At this moment, the robot, who was busy sweeping the floor, immediately realized the danger and quickly electrocuted the two armed criminals. It also accurately knocked away their weapons, enabling the couple to escape safely. The robot continued to electrocute the two criminals. It then produced tape and bound the two of them. The robot even called 911 in the meantime. The demonstration ended here. There was thunderous applause. “Too awesome! China’s artificial intelligence technology is indeed amazing! It can actually detect danger and help its master counter the enemy!” “Haha, I want to buy one and put it at home. This way, I won’t be afraid of criminals.” Online netizens were filled with praise. Guns were legal in some countries like the United States, so it was very easy to encounter armed criminals. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶 With this robot, a person could protect himself well. Barry White exclaimed. “China scored 9.8! Oh my god, it’s close to full marks! America is under a lot of pressure now. Director Callum, why did China get such high marks? Is this function of protecting its master and subduing the enemy really that powerful?” Director Callum said, “As time is limited, what is presented is only the tip of the iceberg. It doesn’t represent the full range of artificial intelligence technology. For example, after seeing that this artificial intelligence can discharge electricity, you can deduce that it can also shoot water and fire, or even bullets. This is already very high-end technology.” Everyone was astounded. However, Jordan, who was sitting there, just gave a faint smile. “The Chinese demo is far inferior to Dr. T from the Rong family!” Jordan had personally experienced how terrifying Dr. T’s artificial intelligence was. It seemed like the Rong family did not offer their most advanced artificial intelligence technology to China. Barry White continued. “Alright, next up is our very own Little Steele! Let’s see what kind of results it can achieve!”
