Han Language? Han Language!

"Let's return to the starting point and ask ourselves: what exactly is Artificial Intelligence?"

"Is Xiao Ai Artificial Intelligence? No!"

"Is Xiao Yi Artificial Intelligence? No!"

Xiong Kexuan stood in the middle of the stadium. Every time she spoke, she shook her head, while the representatives from several major corporations seated in the front row looked rather displeased.

Suddenly, Xiong Kexuan stopped speaking and stood quietly for about ten seconds.

"Everyone, do you think Future Technology is being a little too arrogant?"

Xiong Kexuan smiled slightly. "Actually, I also want to say this: is the Intelligent Assistant Artificial Intelligence? It isn't!"

The crowd below had been somewhat restless, but upon hearing Future Technology deny even its own Intelligent Assistant, the venue fell silent once more.

"Some of you may be wondering: if even the Intelligent Assistant isn't Artificial Intelligence, then what qualifies as Artificial Intelligence?"

"Everyone can take out your phones and search for Artificial Intelligence. You'll find that Baidu Encyclopedia defines it as a new technical science that researches and develops theories, methods, technologies, and application systems used to simulate, extend, and expand human intelligence."

"Those of you outside the professional field may not fully understand that. Put simply, Artificial Intelligence means enabling machines to perform complex tasks that would normally require human intelligence."

"By comparison, you'll find that the Intelligent Assistant can already complete some relatively complex tasks. So why does Future Technology still deny its own Intelligent Assistant?"

Xiong Kexuan explained as she continuously paced across the stage, so she would not keep showing the audience her back.

"By the definition of Future Technology's founder and chairman, the Intelligent Assistant and all current so-called Artificial Intelligence are merely pseudo-Artificial Intelligence."

In an underground research institute in Xia Country, in secret foreign research institutions, and at top IT companies, everyone sat before their screens and watched Future Technology's livestreamed press conference.

At the research institute, Yuan Jingsong frowned, utterly unable to understand what solo act Future Technology was putting on today. He had already known that the Intelligent Assistant was defined as pseudo-Artificial Intelligence when he first met Li Zhou.

"At Future Technology, we believe that all existing pseudo-Artificial Intelligence merely provides a series of responses after receiving voice input. Even Future Technology's Intelligent Assistant cannot simply be given nothing and then be expected to learn on its own and draw even the simplest picture."

"That is the difference. True Artificial Intelligence should be able to learn by itself and draw a picture. It may seem like only a picture, but what it actually demonstrates is a machine's ability to think. If an Artificial Intelligence cannot think like a machine, then it cannot be called Artificial Intelligence."

"By now, everyone must be wondering: after this newly appointed Future Technology chief executive officer has rambled on for so long, what exactly am I here to announce?"

"We've also seen the comments from netizens. Many people said it was related to the Intelligent Assistant. Here, I can tell everyone with certainty that what we're releasing at this press conference is not only related to the Intelligent Assistant—it is also extremely important to it!"

"Alright, my purpose in coming onstage today was to leave everyone with a question. The official presentation that follows will be handed over to Future Technology's founder and chairman, Li Zhou."

Xiong Kexuan stepped down from the stage in her high heels, lifting her skirt as she descended under everyone's gaze. Then, a young man walked onto the temporary stage at the center with a smile.

Looking at the dense sea of heads, Li Zhou felt somewhat nervous. Below the stage, many people were shocked. No one had expected the founder who had built Future Technology from the ground up to be so young and shy.

Li Zhou took a deep breath and did his best to keep a smile on his face.

"Brothers and sisters from all over, good morning. Don't be fooled by the fact that I founded Future Technology—this is actually my first time standing on a stage in front of so many people."

Li Zhou's blunt honesty instantly livened up the atmosphere. Everyone smiled knowingly. How many people could stand on a stage before such a large audience for the first time without feeling nervous? Honestly, not many.

"Many people are curious. After all this, what exactly is Future Technology releasing? Is it really Intelligent Assistant 2.0?"

At the mention of Intelligent Assistant 2.0, everyone grew tense. The power of the Intelligent Assistant was acknowledged throughout the industry.

Li Zhou changed tack and said with a smile, "I think that compared with the users of the Intelligent Assistant, everyone here is even more curious about how its functions were implemented. I can also roughly guess that quite a few of our peers have tried to crack the Intelligent Assistant, only to fail in the end."

As Li Zhou spoke more, the venue grew quieter and quieter. Everyone waited expectantly. Could Future Technology be preparing to open-source the Intelligent Assistant?

If that were truly the case, they would have no choice but to admire them.

Seeing how tense everyone was, Li Zhou suddenly no longer felt nervous.

"The reason the Intelligent Assistant became an industry leader is because—"

"—the Intelligent Assistant was developed using an entirely new programming language: Han Language Programming!!!"

As Li Zhou spoke, the giant screen in the stadium changed to display three simple, bold words: "Han Language."

Everyone, including those following Future Technology's press conference through the livestream, sprang to their feet.

Just when everyone thought Future Technology was preparing to open-source its work, Future Technology used reality to tell them that it had used an entirely new programming language—the Han Language that people of Xia Country had long been anticipating.

Only after the venue quieted down did Li Zhou continue. "The Intelligent Assistant's industry-leading position is inseparable from its development language, but the power of Han Language goes far beyond that.

As software developers, everyone knows:

C was the greatest programming language.

C++ was the most successful inherited language.

Java was the language with the most secure livelihood.

C# was a better Java.

Kotlin was the best Java.

Scala was another Haskell.

Clojure was the most engineering-friendly Lisp dialect.

Python was the most versatile language.

PHP was the most convenient and lightweight web backend language.

JavaScript was a full-stack language.

Ruby was the language most closely tied to frameworks.

Rust was the language with the highest compiler standards.

Go was the most balanced language.

And Han Language!

Han Language was the most intelligent programming language."

Having said that, Li Zhou paused, then spoke with a serious expression. "If there is any language most likely to develop true Artificial Intelligence, then Han Language has the greatest possibility!

Some people may think that I, Li Zhou, am bragging, but I can tell everyone why I call Han Language Programming the most intelligent programming language!

Because Future Technology's Han Language Programming had already become as endlessly adaptable and ever-changing as the Han language itself!

Moreover, before programs developed in Han Language, programs developed in all current programming languages were completely defenseless."
