Last weekend, I was invited to participate in the science show X-Talk hosted by Tencent, which is very interesting! This show invited a large number of scientists and cultural scholars to discuss the future development of science and social changes. To put it simply,
is the big guys chatting on the stage, we watch them chatting off the stage, the lineup of guests who do not poke
is very related to me! The host Zhang Tengyue, two years ago, I played a naive and curious young man in his "Approach to Science" two years ago; Hao Jingfang, the winner of the Hugo Award, is my senior sister; Fu Qiaomei, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, I saw her take it last year 3 million bonus! All acquaintances, feels that I can also come on stage to chat together
This X-Talk uses "curiosity" as the key word, introduces "artificial intelligence" and "gene editing" two advanced technologies to discuss How science and technology are good, ethics and technology blend, have the inner flavor of science fiction movies. In the whole event, science and jokes flew together, thinking and laughing together. After listening to it, I was very enlightened, let’s talk with you!
X-Talk Admission The
activity started at 2:30 in the afternoon, and I arrived in Houchang Village before two o’clock. I thought I would wait boringly for half an hour... but I didn't expect that I became a human clock punching machine on the spot. Is this all right? This is very good.
Estimated based on the number of photos taken on site, my fan ratio is about 9:1, which hit me deeply. There was also a group of fans who hadn't taken a photo, patrolling nearby and refused to leave. It's a pity that time is running out and I can only go to the venue to listen to the talk...
X-Talk opening
After a cool video, Zhang Tengyue teacher is on stage! He has a nice face, but the boy in the past has not changed a bit.
He also knew that "Approaching Science" was not so scientific. He said, "Why is the sky blue" and "Why do you love me for real" are all curiosities. From this perspective, lovers are the most curious group in the world.
But in science, curiosity is more than simply asking questions. More importantly, it drives oneself to find answers and promote development. In short, Mr. Zhang led the audience to science in a few words!
and then the vice president of Tencent Cheng Wu delivered a speech. Mr. Cheng said: If says that new scientific and technological discoveries are "1", then the popularization of science is the "0" behind it. The more "0", the greater the overall energy. makes sense. And I can be regarded as a member of this group of 0s, it's really Kashi Z2z
followed by the chairman of Microsoft Xiaoice Shen Xiangyang to share. In addition to the chairman, he is also a foreign academician of the American Academy of Engineering and a double-appointed professor at the Institute of Advanced Studies of Tsinghua University. A Bing wallpaper suddenly appeared in the speech. You thought it was a bug and jumped to the desktop. In fact, this is a development project of others!
Academician Shen shared with us 7 scientific research suggestions , summarizing his 30 years of experience. Let me let you learn. I hope you can start Microsoft Xiaobing , Microsoft Big Ice , Microsoft Wang Bingbing after listening!
1. You can't do everything
2. To broaden, first go deep into
3. It is important to be able to tell stories, and it is also important for scientific research
4. Only with inspection can you gain
5. Grasp the controllable, pay attention to the visible, and let the rest take its course .The so-called career is a series of projects you have participated in
7. Being impartial, not easy, not changing your goals and ideas, sticking to the direction
finally started the keynote speech!
is the head of Tencent Security Xuanwu Lab. Yu Yang delivered a cyber security speech!
In order to have a sense of substitution, Yu Zhangmen first guides everyone to think about from life and what is network security . For me it may be to prevent Yaqing from peeking at my chat history, for you it may be to invade the Academic Affairs OfficeThe computer changes the score, and for Yang, someone may ask him to help steal the WeChat account. In short,
is very diverse, each with its own merits. You can see how complicated this picture is.
and even a lot of things. Yu Yang said that it can only be replaced by an ellipsis. You can’t go into details. If you go into details, you may have to live here tonight. It is to solve the loopholes that compromise network security. How to solve it? At this time, the screen appeared on the screen full of codes PPz
. To tell the truth, the old Yu talked all the time, as if the bandwidth was not enough. didn't speak briskly until this group of pictures appeared, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face. This is the purest happiness of a programmer.
Lao Yu gave an example of an off-screen fingerprint technology vulnerability. It’s like this:
looks very simple, but it used to have a bug: because fingerprint traces can be reflected back to the screen through reflective paper, you can unlock anyone’s by just grabbing a small yellow sign. Fingerprint password under the screen!
is terrible! Why didn't I expect this trick! Fortunately, this loophole has already been dealt with by Yu Yang's team. Those who are interested cannot carry out illegal activities. Otherwise, my dog can buy dog food online!
In addition, there are other power banks that exploded, or the USB flash drive that was plugged in was poisoned, which are all network security issues. It sounds really insecure. Young people with lofty ideals can also study, maybe you will be the next Suzaku master!
followed by Dr. Zhang Zhengyou , the topic of the speech is " Tencent's virtual and real integrated world" .
even has the comment of "Speaking while broadcasting" on his teleprompter. At first glance, he is fascinated with scientific research and has little lecture experience
After listening to it, I found that Tencent AI really has power in many areas! For example, AI singer "Ai Ling" is very good-looking; King Glory AI is "Awesome" and very fun; AI simulation planting on the igrow smart agriculture platform is delicious
, especially this agricultural AI, which learned to grow cucumbers last year and grow tomatoes this year We should be able to plant the sun by next year! However, in the development process of
, unknown problems will be exposed. Therefore, the doctor and Pony Ma emphasized that the technology must be "knowable, controllable, usable and reliable" in order to better serve people. I think it is possible.
After talking about artificial intelligence, start talking about genes!
is the winner of last year's Science Exploration Award Fu Qiaomei teacher giving the gene keynote speech. Teacher Fu has a lot of hair, envy!
Teacher Fu Qiaomei’s team is exploring the origin of modern humans by studying ancient human genes, very AMAZING! Among the more important ancient humans are Neanderthals and Denisovans. Many of the sources of evidence for their traces are soil. So don’t eat dirt anymore! Every time you eat soil, Teacher Fu will lose a batch of research materials!
Different ancient human genes will affect different population characteristics. Neanderthals are closely related to diabetes and night owls, so modern people are more and more able to stay up late.
In addition, the ancient human generally had a large head . You can observe the appearance and judge for yourself how many Neanderthal genes you have. This is the result of my genetic test in the last two years, and I feel pretty accurate... Teacher Fu also shared the evolution of the population in the north and south of our country. In the beginning, ancient southerners and ancient northerners were very different, and ancient southerners even had a slight advantage. After several rounds of fusion, the ancient northerners turned to overtake and almost unified the world!
Until modern times, most of you and I are the genes of the ancient northerners. Everyone also distinguishes between north and south. From the perspective of evolution, southerners are actually "northerns"!
So tofu brain should be salty!
Easy and interesting talk session! There are also two interspersed in the
speechIn a dialogue session, guests from different fields sat in a row to discuss the two major issues of artificial intelligence and gene editing , and a lot of sparks came out of the collision! The artificial intelligence part of
invited science fiction writer Hao Jingfang , Chinese Academy of Sciences computing technology researcher Shan Shiguang , and philosophy professor Xu Yingjin . This configuration has a good show to watch
. Sure enough, the scene became tense at the beginning of the conversation! The focus of their discussion is how will artificial intelligence develop? Will it look like a person?
Teacher Hao believes that the so-called artificial intelligence is like people, and they fall in love and kill with people. They are all imagined by science fiction writers like her to create story conflicts. artificial intelligence does not have to fall in love.
I wanted to stand up and applaud, but Researcher Shan Shiguang objected. He believes that only by making artificial intelligence more like humans can it provide better services and talk about better relationships. I think so. During the
presentation, Hao Jingfang said that the current artificial intelligence is too single and can only learn the same at a time. is not like human beings who can learn everything, nor will they forget mathematics just because they learn English. I think there is a loophole in this statement, , after all, some people who have not learned English will forget mathematics.
Finally, the gene editing dialogue is also a lineup of 3 guests, including the gene editing researcher Wang Haoyi of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the talk show actor Zhang Yuzhi , Science fiction writer Chen Chufan.
these three people are also very personal! Zhang Yuzhi's thinking jumped off, and he was in charge of the whole science show. And Chen Chufan is worthy of being a writer, and he is telling the story.
But my favorite is Researcher Wang Haoyi, he is too strict! As soon as other people start imaginatively, Researcher Wang will start to speak. A popular science starts with 300 words, and strictly implements science to the end
. Wang Haoyi pointed out that when discussing gene editing, must not be general and , but specific. Is it heritable or non-heritable, disease treatment or gene enhancement, heritable gene editing is the clearest red line...
feels like I listened to a doctor’s pre, after he finished speaking, my entire genes Sublimated! Everyone, look at this picture before I leave, ’s face is full of joy of harvest
This is the power of knowledge!
In short, thank you very much Tencent for inviting me to participate in this X-Talk! After listening to the speeches and dialogues of the big guys, I have become more curious about artificial intelligence and the origin of mankind!
To be honest, it is very difficult for everyone to really learn how deep and comprehensive knowledge it is by just one popular science. If you want to know more science, you still need to study and think by yourself. After I got home, I also Googled the nature of Teacher Fu Qiaomei. Although I didn't understand it too much.
But I believe that a good science popularization can really stimulate the curiosity of the audience and feel the scientific spirit of exploring all things.
There were many college students listening attentively to the lecture, and I even saw several junior high school students. Maybe today's talk show will plant a seed in their hearts and guide them on the path of science. This is what Tencent X-talk most wants to bring to the public.
I hope I can always maintain this curiosity, actively explore, and encourage everyone!
