Secretary Jiang and the others were no fools. They naturally understood what Shen Bing meant.
Intelligent Robots were called intelligent because of their internal intelligent software and automatic control capabilities. If those capabilities were removed and a human operated them remotely instead, they would no longer qualify as Intelligent Robots.
That did not mean such robots would be useless, however. On the contrary, they would be even more useful in warfare.
Although artificial intelligence possessed intelligence equal to or even greater than that of humans, this intelligence was limited to processing tasks governed by logical relationships. When emotions and deeper considerations of competing interests were involved, artificial intelligence could not compare with humans themselves.
War was brutal and cruel, but there were many things that needed to be weighed during its course.
Having humans participate in warfare themselves was far better than leaving everything to robots, especially when this approach allowed humans to participate without having to be physically present.
On the other hand, if an army made up of robots was controlled entirely by artificial intelligence, even the Huaxia Military would feel uneasy about deploying it. Who knew whether Shen Bing had built some backdoor into it?
Shen Bing might not necessarily intend anything malicious, but surely there was nothing wrong with taking precautions.
Especially given Phantom Immortal Technology's technical expertise, if they really did install a Backdoor Program, no one else would discover it.
Remote operation, however, would be easier for the military to accept.
Controlling a group of people was certainly much easier than controlling a batch of machines they had not manufactured themselves.
"Mr. Shen, can you manufacture these robots right now?" Secretary Jiang asked.
Shen Bing nodded earnestly. "Of course! Why else would I be telling you all this?"
Secretary Jiang exchanged a glance with
