"Back to the starting point, we begin to ask ourselves—what is Artificial Intelligence?"
"Is Xiao Ai an Artificial Intelligence? No!"
"Is Xiao Yi an Artificial Intelligence? No!"
--
Xiong Kexuan stood in the center of the stadium, shaking her head with each sentence she spoke, while the representatives from the major tech companies seated in the front row wore somewhat grim expressions.
Suddenly, Xiong Kexuan fell silent, standing still for about ten seconds.
"Everyone, do you think Future Technology is speaking arrogantly?"
Xiong Kexuan gave a slight smile and said, "Actually, I'd also like to say—is the Intelligent Assistant an Artificial Intelligence? It is not!"
Below the stage, the crowd had been growing restless, but when they heard Future Technology deny even their own Intelligent Assistant, the audience quieted down again.
"Some of you might be puzzled—if even the Intelligent Assistant isn't Artificial Intelligence, then what qualifies as Artificial Intelligence?"
"You can pull out your phones and search for 'Artificial Intelligence.' You'll find that Baidu Baike defines it as a new technical science that studies and develops theories, methods, technologies, and application systems for simulating, extending, and expanding human intelligence."
"For the non-specialist friends here, that might be hard to grasp. In other words, Artificial Intelligence aims to make machines capable of performing complex tasks that typically require human intelligence."
"By comparison, you'll notice that the Intelligent Assistant can already handle some moderately complex tasks. So why does Future Technology still deny its own Intelligent Assistant?"
Xiong Kexuan paced back and forth on the stage as she explained, to avoid always showing her back to the audience.
"To understand it through the definition of Future Technology's founder and chairman, the Intelligent Assistant and the so-called 'Artificial Intelligence' currently on the market are all pseudo-AI."
In an underground research institute in Xia Country, foreign secret research facilities and top IT industry companies all sat before their screens, watching Future Technology's live broadcast.
Inside the institute, Yuan Jingsong frowned, utterly puzzled about what solo act Future Technology was putting on with today's press conference. He had known since his first meeting with Li Zhou that the Intelligent Assistant was defined as pseudo-AI.
"Future Technology believes that all existing pseudo-AI merely makes a series of responses after analyzing voice commands. Even with the Intelligent Assistant, you can't actually give it nothing and let it learn on its own to draw the simplest picture."
"That's the difference. A true Artificial Intelligence should be able to learn on its own and draw a picture. A picture may seem simple, but what it actually demonstrates is the machine's ability to think. If an AI cannot think for itself, it cannot be called Artificial Intelligence."
"Having said all this, everyone must be curious—what exactly has this new CEO of Future Technology been rambling on about for so long, and what does she want to unveil?"
"We've also seen the comments from netizens. Many people say it's related to the Intelligent Assistant. Here, I can tell you with certainty—what we're releasing today is not only related to the Intelligent Assistant, but it's also extremely important to it!"
"Alright, my purpose for coming on stage today was to bring you a puzzle. The formal press conference will now be handed over to our Future Technology founder and chairman, Li Zhou."
Xiong Kexuan, in her high heels, lifted her skirt and walked down the stage step by step under everyone's gaze. Then, a young man smiled and walked up to the temporary stage in the center.
Li Zhou looked at the dense sea of faces, feeling a bit nervous inside. Below the stage, many were shocked—no one had expected the founder of Future Technology to be so young and shy.
Li Zhou took a deep breath, forcing a smile onto his face.
"Brothers and sisters from all corners of the land, good morning. Don't be fooled by the fact that I founded Future Technology—this is my first time standing on a stage in front of so many people."
Instantly, Li Zhou's frankness livened up the atmosphere. The crowd smiled knowingly—how many people aren't nervous the first time they stand on stage facing a large audience? Honestly, not many.
"Many of you are curious—after all this buildup, what exactly is Future Technology going to release? Is it really Intelligent Assistant 2.0?"
At the mention of Intelligent Assistant 2.0, everyone tensed up. The power of the Intelligent Assistant was an industry-wide consensus.
Li Zhou shifted gears and said with a smile, "I think, compared to the users of the Intelligent Assistant, those of you here are even more curious about how its functions are implemented. I can probably guess that quite a few peers have tried to crack the Intelligent Assistant, but all ended in failure."
The more Li Zhou spoke, the quieter the venue became. Everyone was waiting—was Future Technology about to open-source the Intelligent Assistant?
If that were the case, they'd have to admire it.
Seeing the tense crowd, Li Zhou suddenly lost his earlier nervousness.
"The reason the Intelligent Assistant leads the industry is because—"
"The Intelligent Assistant uses a brand-new development language—Han Language Programming!!!"
As Li Zhou spoke, the stadium's big screen switched to display three simple, bold characters: "Han Language."
Everyone—including those watching Future Technology's press conference via livestream—shot to their feet.
Just when everyone thought Future Technology was about to open-source, reality told them they had used a completely new development language, one that the nation had long awaited.
Once the venue quieted down, Li Zhou continued, "The Intelligent Assistant's industry-leading position is inseparable from its development language, but the power of Han Language goes far beyond that."
As program developers, everyone knows—
C is the greatest programming language
C++ is the most successful inheritance language
Java is the most stable meal-ticket language
C# is a better Java
Kotlin is the best Java
Scala is another Haskell
Clojure is the most engineering-friendly Lisp dialect
Python is the most versatile language
PHP is the most convenient and lightweight web backend language
JavaScript is the full-stack language
Ruby is the language most tightly integrated with frameworks.
Rust is the language with the highest level of compiler optimization.
Go is the language with the best balance.
But Han Language!
Han Language is the most intelligent programming language.
"After saying this, Li Zhou paused for a moment, then spoke with a serious expression, 'If we're talking about which language is most likely to develop true Artificial Intelligence, then Han Language has the greatest potential!'
'Some might think I, Li Zhou, am boasting, but I can tell everyone why Han Language Programming is what I call the most intelligent programming language!'
'That's because Future Technology's Han Language Programming has fully achieved the same ever-changing nature as the Chinese language itself!'
'Moreover, in the face of programs developed with Han Language, all programs developed with current programming languages are in a state of complete vulnerability.'"
