Chapter 269: The Grandmaster Era

1st of April.

It was a special day.

Xing Hai Technologies launched a brand-new product – the “Star Brain No. 4” AI chip which architecture was based on the human neural network.

The chip was made using the 7 nm process technology. It had the size of a beer bottle cap. Its intelligent computing speed reached 7 trillion times per second; a two-fold improvement compared to the previous “Star Brain No. 3”.

The chip assimilates with the “smart learning program” and could meet the needs in various scenarios.

For the Little Star Fourth Gen learning machine which was apparently in test phase, exerting its utmost strength “gobbling” up university level professional knowledge, after it was incorporated with this version of the AI chip, it would be able to hit the shelves very soon.

But the purpose of Xing Hai Technologies specially announcing the “Star Brain No. 4” AI chip was not to declare the forthcoming launch of the “Little Star Fourth Gen” learning machine.

It was to announce that the “Intelligent Age” had arrived!

This presumably confused some people. The intelligent age had long dawned, who gave Xing Hai Technologies the privilege to announce its arrival?

But it was indeed so.

The “Intelligent Age” announced by Xing Hai Technologies was the true “Intelligent Age”.

They declared that intelligent products would slip into each and every industry and into every corner of the human society, bringing forth great convenience in mankind’s working, learning, and living environment.

The scope of its application would become infinitely broad!

The “Star Brain No. 4” AI chip’s usage was not only limited to Xing Hai Technologies. Its sales and usage were made available to any manufacturers within the country’s boundaries. Besides, they also released the “StarNet Developer Platform”, welcoming all companies or developers to use this platform to create their desired smart applications.

During the conference.

Chen Jin said via his Avatar robot:

“From today onwards, all local industries or individual developers can purchase our Star Brain No.4 AI chip, use our StarNet Developer Platform, and with them, develop your own smart device.”

“Let me give you a few common applications in several fields.”

“For example, in the agricultural field, farming is actually an experience-oriented profession. There is a lot of knowledge in planting crop seeds, weeding, fertilizing, watering, pest control, and harvesting. There would likely be no revenue for those who do not possess these knowledges. However, we can develop an ‘Agricultural Assistant’, to guide farmers in how to farm and manage their crops. It could even let novices with zero knowledge become farming experts swiftly.

“For example, in vehicle maintenance, it is said that it takes at least two years to train a qualified repair worker which understands the structure of the car engine, gearbox, brakes, etc., and knows how to troubleshoot a faulty car, develop a corresponding maintenance plan, and at last, fix a car… Ordinary apprentices may not be able to fix complex and large-scale malfunctions. Only experienced masters can repair a car quickly, and with quality.”

“Now, if someone invents a ‘Vehicle Service Assistant’ based on the StarNet Developer Platform and the Star Brain No. 4 AI chip, and upload a bunch of master level repair techniques to the database, allowing the smart learning program to learn and master these vehicle repair knowledges, once the apprentices use the ‘Vehicle Service Assistant’, all repair workers can become grandmasters with its help.”

“In the field of maintenance, in addition to the maintenance of vehicles, there are some large-scale construction machinery, and even more complex tanks, aircraft, ships and aircraft carriers. Their corresponding ‘Service Assistant’ could be developed for each and every of them.”

“Another example will be factory machine operations. A ‘Machine Operation Assistant’ could be developed to help workers get started quickly.”

“In addition, for assembly line factories, if they feel that training workers is too time-consuming or it’s too much trouble, they can develop a ‘Training Assistant’ to improve the workers training efficiency.

“There are also welding, fitting, and various types of technical jobs. All of which can develop their own respective ‘Work Assistant’ to improve their workers work efficiency and experience.”

“Let every ‘Work Assistant’ become an experienced ‘grandmaster’ and they will guide you correctly, making you competent in all kinds of work.”

“The most powerful thing about the ‘Work Assistant’ is that, with its help, every hands-on kind of person, even a little, will be able to fix a spaceship.”

Unrefutably, with all kinds of work assistances being created, no matter the job, the difficulty in getting started and the cost of learning will be greatly reduced. Occupational barriers would no longer exist. The ultimate situation would be: even if you do not know anything, with the “Work Assistant” at hand, you can do anything.

For example, if one sees a plane, but does not know how to maneuver it, but when knowledge about “aircraft maneuvering” was uploaded into the “Work Assistant” in their hands, they could learn how to fly a plane following the step-by-step instructions at the work assistant.

Like skills in games, the era that knowledge was like skill had been unfolded. If one owns the “Work Assistant”, it would almost be like protagonists in fantasy novels meeting an old grandmaster, which would immediately transform them from a human waste to a genius.

Therefore, this was why Xing Hai Technologies released the “Star Brain No. 4” AI chip and launched the StarNet Developer Platform. It was to guide the arrival of the “Grandmaster Era”.

However…

How would this benefit Xing Hai Technologies?

What would they gain by selling the most advanced AI chip to others and support other companies to participate in the development of the “Work Assistant” for other industries?

Knowledge!

Xing Hai Technologies would gain invaluable knowledge!

If a company develops a “Vehicle Service Assistant”, it would mean that Xing Hai Technologies will master all knowledge in vehicle service.

If a company develops a “Welder Assistant”, it would mean that Xing Hai Technologies will master all techniques related to welding.

If companies use a variety of work assistants to create aircrafts, aircraft carriers, and spacecrafts, then Xing Hai Technologies which had mastery over all their workmanship would have the ability to build aircrafts, aircraft carriers, spacecrafts….

The knowledge or skills of various industries would almost be completely amassed by Xing Hai Technologies.

Knowledge is wealth. Mastering infinite knowledge will be equivalent to grasping infinite wealth.

Moreover, the efficiency of collecting knowledge in this way was the highest. Afterall, not all industries were like the programming industry, which had more than five million people in the field. Many industries were niche industries with only some ten thousand or hundred thousand workers. It was not worth for Xing Hai Technologies to invent the field’s corresponding “Work Assistant” themselves to help those workers in niche industries. Not only that it would be of meagre value, they would also be overwhelmed by workload!

It would be the best if they provide the chips, development tools, big data services and let the others do it themselves.

After Xing Hai Technologies’s conference ended.

It dropped a bombshell in all local industries!

At the same time where many were excited for the dawn of the “Intelligent Age”, they were astonished by Xing Hai Technologies’s wild ambitions.
