Super God-Level Top Student

Qiao Ze did not feel embarrassed.

He only thought about the question Academician Yao had just asked him, whether he felt nervous.

Well, Qiao Ze was not nervous at all, he was just a little puzzled.

He could understand why the concepts and formulas that the people below the stage could not think of.

But he had already broken down the process and explained it clearly, so why couldn't they understand?

Especially since the preliminary papers had already been published.

The mathematical foundation for artificial intelligence he had summarized was nothing more than a few formulas, connecting these to search for variable relationships.

It was already very simple and easy to understand. If it needed to be simpler... did they want him to go over the published papers again?

Wouldn't that be a waste of time? What was the purpose of this presentation then?

Just as Qiao Ze was feeling puzzled, Yao stood up, turned his head to the people at the back and said, "Alright, it's understandable if you can't understand because what Qiao Ze is talking about today is not only the content given in the papers but also further extensions.

It's clear that Qiao Ze is constructing a complete set of mathematical foundations for artificial intelligence. This is an extremely commendable feat and is the most important direction in which mathematics truly propels artificial intelligence. Today's conference is being recorded in full, so please maintain discipline in the venue.

If you feel bored because you can't understand, you can leave now. However, I must mention again that the person giving this report is only eighteen years old and is currently just an undergraduate student. If this makes you uncomfortable, then he is also a review expert in the Natural Science Foundation Expert Database.

This conference was announced half a month in advance. So for those who don't understand, please ask yourselves, have you read through Qiao Ze's related papers in this half month? Have you delved into understanding those proofs and the meaning behind each lemma and theorem?"

I won't say much else. Please refrain from interrupting the rhythm of this presentation. If you have questions, wait until the question and answer session at the end. That will be all."

After he finished, Yao sat down and then smiled and nodded at Qiao Ze.

For Yao Yuanzhi, this conference was a real surprise.

He originally thought the arrival of Dou Dou was just an application, never expecting that behind this product, Qiao Ze had summarized a more in-depth derivation process.

This was indeed solid content!

He had already started to consider something even more important.

After Yao Yuanzhi finished speaking, the classroom fell completely silent, and many faces turned red.

It was indeed embarrassing.

With Qiao Ze's age out there, for many students of the Wisdom Class, at the same age, Qiao Ze could already stand on the podium and give reports to a group of professors, while they could only listen below, not even understanding, and that certainly was not a matter of pride.

They couldn't even question the correctness of Qiao Ze's theory.

The algorithms and frameworks he developed have not only been used in mature smartphones, but the smart software developed on their own has already made a big splash on social media.

So if you don't understand, it's just because you're not up to par.

Qiao Ze on the stage thought for a moment, then picked up the chalk and began to write on the blackboard next to the projector screen.

Rows of formulas appeared under his hand, quickly filling an entire blackboard.

After about seven or eight minutes of writing, having finished the last stroke, Qiao Ze looked at the blackboard one last time and then dusted his hands, saying, "These are the simplified preliminary deductions. If you don't understand, you can take a look at these in the remaining time."

After that, Qiao Ze looked at Yao again and said, "Additionally, I just had my birthday last month, and I am now 19 years old."

Then he turned the PPT back to the previous position on the computer and resumed his lecture at the usual pace, only slightly speeding up his speech.

The timing was already calculated perfectly.

The conference started at two o'clock in the afternoon and ended at four o'clock, lasting two hours, with the last half-hour dedicated to answering questions.

Even if dragging on for some time wouldn't be a big issue, for Qiao Ze, he didn't like any unexpected changes to his planned events.

So when it was 3:30 in the afternoon, Qiao Ze turned the PPT to the last page promptly and made his final summary.

He then started the question and answer session with the audience below.

To Qiao Ze's surprise, although it seemed like everyone had a hard time understanding the content of his report earlier, during the question and answer session, the students in the back of the classroom were very eager.

Countless hands were raised high.

However, the professors in the front row didn't raise their hands to ask many questions.

Qiao Ze first addressed questions from Yao and two professors in the front row, briefly discussing several issues related to the direction of mathematical theory for about fifteen minutes. Ensuring that the professors had no further questions, he then started to call on the students in the back who hadn't quite understood before.

The first student called upon was a young man in white sportswear and glasses who stood up and asked excitedly, "Qiao Ze, hello, I would like to ask, do you believe that Dou Dou, the artificial intelligence you personally designed, already possesses human consciousness? And could you explain your reasoning?"

Well, Qiao Ze roughly understood why so many people who didn't understand still remained in the presentation.

As expected, the vast majority of people preferred to discuss these types of meaningless questions.

"Whether Dou Dou possesses consciousness depends on how consciousness is defined. If consciousness is interpreted according to the broad philosophical determination, such as subjective impressions based on an individual's direct experiences, then without a doubt, Dou Dou has a certain consciousness.
