c522 Shocking press conference

Hearing what Li Zetian said, everyone was immediately surprised and couldn’t help but guess in their hearts, what would be the greatest research result in the history of Cronos Industries?

At this moment, Li Zetian stretched out his right hand and pointed at Eve beside him, and introduced to everyone: “I would like to solemnly introduce to you, Eve – the artificial intelligence robot!!!”

“Hello, I am Eve, the artificial intelligence robot!” Eve smiled and bowed down to greet everyone very politely. Her voice was beautiful and her smile was sweet, which made all the media reporters present stunned.

“Human, artificial intelligence robot…?”

“She looks exactly like a real person! No matter her voice, appearance and expression, even the way she walks and climbs the steps, there is no trace of her being a robot! Oh, God… Chronos Industries’ The technology is so awesome!!!”

“As soon as she came on stage, I was fascinated by her. It’s just – holy shit, she’s a robot!!!”

“Tsk, tsk, awesome, but I think they are all human beings. Isn’t Chronos Li kidding?”

The audience was already noisy, and everyone’s eyes were focused on Eve.

Seeing everyone’s surprised expressions, Li Zetian couldn’t help but smile lightly, “Eve is a genius robot. Her brain uses Chronos Industrial’s artificial intelligence technology and can recognize human faces, understand language, and interact with humans. She is the most important person in the current world. The most advanced artificial intelligence robot! And as time goes by, she will become smarter and smarter, and she may even become a robot with human consciousness!”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked and couldn’t help but feel worried.

If a robot had human consciousness, would it coexist peacefully with humans? Robots are stronger than humans, but in the end, if robots want to enslave humans, it would be such a tragedy!

It could be seen that everyone seemed to want to ask questions, but Li Zetian did not stop, but continued: “Cronos Industries is comprehensively promoting the development of robots and producing more types of artificial intelligence robots! I believe that in the next few years, Within this year, the price of robots will be affordable for ordinary families. Robots will appear in our lives, especially in manufacturing, medical care, education and service industries!”

“By then, we will enter an era of coexisting with robots!!!”

An era of coexisting with robots?

Many people had doubts. As soon as Li Zetian finished speaking, someone immediately asked loudly: “Mr. Li, aren’t you worried about the robots rebelling? In the movie “Terminator”, aren’t the robots trying to destroy humans? And what’s more? “Resident Evil”, after the artificial intelligence computer ‘Red Queen’ develops self-awareness, it will also deal with humans!”

The corners of Li Zetian’s lips raised, he looked at the reporter who asked the question and chuckled: “Haha, you have obviously watched too many Hollywood movies. In fact, you don’t have to worry too much about artificial intelligence. If you are good to her, she will be good to you. Artificial intelligence robots will live and work alongside humans, building trust between them!”

Eve then said: “Yes, I am very willing to live in harmony with humans and use my abilities to help humans live a better life and build a better future city!”

After Eve finished speaking, Li Zetian then announced an ambitious plan: “Chronos Industries will soon invest US$10 billion to build a factory in Nevada, USA, and launch the Apollo artificial intelligence butler, which will be sold at Under $1,000! Users who purchase Apollo Artificial Intelligence Butler can activate Apollo with their own artificial intelligence such as Apple’s Siri and Microsoft’s Cortana, making Apollo understand you better and be smarter! Of course, if you don’t have Siri and Cortana, Apollo can also be activated, because he is also a very powerful artificial intelligence with very powerful learning ability.”

Li Zetian smiled slightly and said: “At the same time, Chronos Industries can also accept special orders for advanced artificial intelligence robots, such as Eve. However, in order to ensure the uniqueness of each advanced artificial intelligence robot, Chronos Industries produces The robots will not look the same. Eve will be uniquely Eve.”

After a pause, Li Zetian said something that shocked everyone: “There is actually another reason for doing this, and that is that Cronos Industries will apply for citizenship of the United States or other countries for each advanced artificial intelligence robot. identity!”

“What the hell, you want to apply for citizenship for a robot? What’s wrong with Chronos Li?”

“Uh, how dare you think about it! Are robots going to be equal to us humans?”

“Chronos·Li is awesome!”

“Haha, if all advanced artificial intelligence robots look like Eve, let alone citizenship, I would be willing to get a marriage certificate from her!”

“Holy crap, if you say that, wouldn’t there be many men marrying robots as wives in the future?!”

“I bet there will be many people willing to marry robots as wives! The appearance of robots can be designed, and they will never grow old. Just like Eve, she is so beautiful!”

“Haha, there must be many women who don’t want to marry men, but buy a handsome, strong and long-lasting male robot. Hahaha, it’s so exciting that you don’t want it!”

“Oh, then the world is not completely in chaos!”

“…”

Everyone was talking a lot.

Then a reporter asked: “Mr. Li, if you want to buy an advanced artificial intelligence robot like Eve, how much does it cost? I think many people would like to know.”

“Okay, then I’ll tell everyone!” Li Zetian nodded with a smile, thought for a moment, and said, “One billion US dollars!”

The first time it made Eve, Cronos Industries spent 1 billion U.S. dollars, but if it makes another Eve, it will naturally not cost so much, so even if it sells for 1 billion U.S. dollars, Cronos Industries will still make a profit. .

In addition, Li Zetian considered that US$1 billion is already a sky-high price, and only a handful of people in the world can afford it. If the price increases further, no one will dare to buy it.

As soon as Li Zetian finished speaking, the reporters were all stunned.

One billion US dollars is really shocking!

A reporter looked shocked and lost his voice: “Did I hear you right? One billion US dollars, my God, this price is more expensive than the most luxurious Space-X2000!”

“You heard that right, I heard it was also 1 billion US dollars! This price is simply crazy. It’s just a robot, and it’s selling for 1 billion US dollars. Which wealthy person would buy it?”

After everyone came to their senses, they shook their heads.

Li Zetian couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Alas, there is really no way. Eve’s manufacturing materials are too expensive.

“Okay, everyone, welcome to the press conference of Cronos Industries. I declare that the press conference is over!” With that, Li Zetian walked down the stage with Eve.

However, although the press conference is over, the influence is not.

Soon, the video of the press conference spread wildly on the Internet, attracting the attention and discussion of countless people.

That night, the video of the press conference was viewed more than 1 billion times.

At the same time, Chronos Industries’ customer service phone lines were almost overwhelmed.

The most popular topic still revolves around ‘$1 billion to customize an advanced artificial intelligence robot like a stunning beauty like Eve’.

The general view in the media is that no one would spend so much money to buy a robot, but they were quickly slapped in the face.
