Artificial Intelligence Developer Cheolwoo Lee (8)
What type of company is Google? It was also a company that occupied more than 80% of the global Internet search market. Now, Android, the operating system used in smartphones, also accounts for more than 50%.
And that wasn’t all. I was working on the online video streaming service Youtube, and now I was even making artificial intelligence.
In terms of market cap, it’s about $500 billion. In terms of Hanwha, it was a company worth over 600 trillion won.
The global market capitalization wasn’t coming down from the top 10 either.
“Our LF…. How much is the corporate value right now?”
I suddenly became curious. What is the market capitalization of our LF now?
“Since it’s an unlisted company, I don’t know exactly how much it’s worth, but to estimate it’s around 50 trillion won.”
50 trillion won. I can’t tell if it’s a small amount or a large amount.
“Is it a lot or a little?”
“Hmm, considering that Hyeonseong is a little less than 50 trillion, isn’t it very high?”
“…… Hyeonseong is 50 trillion won?”
“Yes, 25 trillion won before the ITE-X engine. It jumped almost twice as much.”
“Who is there in our country? Something on that scale?”
“In Korea, Ohsung Electronics is still in the overwhelming No. 1 position. 150 trillion won. After that, the famous companies you know have similar values.”
Ohsung Electronics. Uranara was also called the Republic of Five Stars as a joke. As such, Ohsung Electronics earned a lot of foreign currency in Korea, and its technology was amazing.
In particular, the semiconductor and foundry business had similar or slightly lower sales than Taiwan’s TSMC, but its own semiconductor products sold well.
“Do you think so? Our LF. It seems that the corporate value is measured lower than I thought.”
Was the ITE-X engine only good enough?
“It’s been less than a year since the international patent for the ITE-X engine was registered. The value will probably continue to increase in the future. Literally, it’s still an estimated value. If we go public, we don’t know what it will be like.”
“What about the NF Foundation?”
From noble mtl dot com
“That’s off topic. We’re holding the NF, but as you know, the NF Foundation is a non-profit corporation. And you said that a blockchain network is democratic, and if the NF Foundation does anything wrong, its value will drop tremendously?”
“Well, it certainly is. It’s a little hard to see NF Network as a property of LF.”
NF networks are not LF ones. It was an independent institution, a non-profit foundation.
We will open a new digital age in the future.
“So what should I do? Google… I honestly can’t figure it out yet. That’s why I came here myself.”
“Hmm, I’m thinking a lot too. Simply market capitalization. If you look at it in terms of size, Google is 600 trillion. We are 50 trillion. That’s a 12-fold difference.”
“That’s right. Even if you can use the NF network, it’s too big a difference. That’s why I’m more worried.”
“What exactly are you thinking about?”
I need to hear more about Minseok’s thoughts.
“Go AI to be released this August. I wonder if we should hold an event in line with it, or if we should just open it without an event.”
“Holding an event means literally colliding with Google head-on. Opening without an event means avoiding Google, right?”
“That’s right. If we do an event together in August, what will Google think? Will it take it as a challenge?”
“surely.”
What is Google thinking right now? Is it a mindlessly scheduled event, or is it unknowingly aware of us?
“What do you think Google is like? Does it seem to recognize us?”
“Yeah. Even Google knows its power as a platform for NF Network.”
“Hmm… Anyway, is it the same to reveal it?”
It is the difference between disclosing our artificial intelligence in a splendid way, or disclosing it without even knowing mice or birds.
“yes.”
“What do you think?”
“I think, to be honest, it’s good to challenge.”
“You want to do an event?”
“huh.”
“why?”
“First of all, I can’t hide it forever. Anyway, I think I should make the corporate value boil by flashily revealing what I’m going to reveal.
I was thinking about it a little differently.
Will our automatic harvesting robot be more popular than Google’s Go event?
‘There are few people who don’t know Baduk, and it is Baduk that holds an infinite number of cases. If the computer wins that, the effect of people recognizing artificial intelligence will definitely be direct. But just because an automatic harvesting robot is harvesting, will artificial intelligence recognize it?’
Automated harvesting robots are closer to robotics than artificial intelligence.
It seemed that people would think that we did not create artificial intelligence, but that we made robots with a lot of functions.
“Well, I’ve been thinking about it for a bit.”
“huh.”
“I think it would be better not to plan an event.”
“why?”
“First of all, our automatic harvesting robots and Google’s Go artificial intelligence are very weak in terms of events. I don’t know how Google will hold an event, but it will probably broadcast a match against artificial intelligence in real time. But what are we? Automatic harvesting robots It’s like broadcasting in real time, and our robots will be focused more on robots than artificial intelligence.”
Minseok listened to my story and thought for a while before saying.
“So, let’s just put our hands on it? We’re going to unveil an automatic harvesting robot anyway. And it’s going to get into Google’s ears somehow. That doesn’t mean we won’t sell automatic harvesting robots, right?”
Didn’t deny it.
Because Minseok’s words made sense.
“that’s right.”
“So, is there any other way?”
“…”
“Look, isn’t it not there? Then you have to stick to it somehow.”
“Is he there?”
This time, I asked Minseok.
“…”
“As Minseok said, the NF network is not ours, it belongs to everyone. If we can use it as a weapon, we can fight against Google somehow. But isn’t it? We don’t have a weapon that can compete with Google.”
Right now, Google is wary of NF networks, but if Google admits it, it’s going to be a bit of a headache.
Our NF Foundation will collect a very small amount of commission, but it is correct that Google collects most of the royalties.
And there’s no way to stop it. Because the NF network could not be disclosed only to certain companies.
NF Network is transparent, democratic, and anyone can use it as a blockchain.
“under…….”
Minseok sighed deeply as if he knew that too.
“For now, do as I say.”
“Without the event?”
“uh.”
“Is there any other way?”
“It’s another way… It’s not even a way, but I’m thinking of one.”
“Oh? What is it?”
Minseok said with sparkling eyes.
“I haven’t told anyone yet. Where are you going to stop talking?”
“Of course. What do you see me as?”
“I’m going to build artificial intelligence.”
“Artificial intelligence? You’re still making it, right?”
“No, it’s not that artificial intelligence.”
“then?”
“Have I told you before? There are two kinds of artificial intelligence.”
“Um, I don’t really remember?”
“Weak AI and Strong AI.”
“Ah, I think I heard. Weak AI was a simple AI that could only do one task, and strong AI was an AI that we could only see in movies, right?”
“Yes. That’s right. I remember.”
“……. no way?”
Minseok said with an expectant look in his eyes.
“Yes. That’s right. I’m thinking of making a strong AI.”
strong artificial intelligence. As Minseok said, he was talking about real artificial intelligence.
I wanted to create an artificial intelligence that could understand and act when I spoke.
It wasn’t just because of Google.
‘How cool would that be? How wonderful would that be?’
Artificial intelligence that can understand human speech and act… … . how to say okay.
romance.
It was the romance itself.
On top of that, the fact that I was able to create artificial intelligence that can only be found in science fiction by myself was something that made my heart race even just imagining it.
“……is that possible?”
“I don’t know yet. What’s certain is that I can’t make it with the contents of the deep learning paper you told me before.”
“… Then isn’t that impossible?”
“But it doesn’t seem like it’s necessarily impossible.”
“You must have seen that potential. Where did you see that potential?”
“NF Network.”
It was NF Network that saw the potential.
A huge amount of data moving there. Wouldn’t it be possible if we continued to learn them?
It was still in the thinking and theory stage, but one thing was certain: there was a possibility.
“NF network……if it handles the data moving there.”
“Well, nothing is certain yet. We need to create a model for strong artificial intelligence, and we don’t know how much it will need to learn. But… if it’s built, yes. It could easily swallow Google.”
“If you make it… what is Google, it could swallow the world.”
“I have no intention of engulfing the world, but it’s not something I should avoid getting beaten up with.”
“…… It’s a bit of a trap that Google hits.”
“For now, trust me and wait a little longer for that part. And we don’t know if Google clearly recognizes us as the enemy. Let’s not catch this stern guy for nothing.”
“Yeah, that’s right. Google hasn’t taken any action on us yet.”
“huh.”
“Then, Cheol-woo only believes in you?”
“okay!”

Time passed like a stream again. The warm spring has passed and midsummer has begun.
Early August 2015.
Google was publicizing the DeepMind Challenge it was preparing.
「Google DeepMind Challenge. What is artificial intelligence?」
「A match between Lee Soo-dol and AI AlphaGo. The whole world pays attention.”
There was a lot of talk in the news at the time.
“CEO Lee. Have you seen Google’s Deep Mind Challenge?
Researcher Jung said.
“What are you looking forward to?”
“First of all, artificial intelligence itself is very exciting. They say that there are an infinite number of cases of Go. How can a computer win that…”
“Researcher Jung, do you think Lee Soo-dol, 9th Dan, will lose?”
When I said this, Researcher Jung’s expression turned sour.
“Ha ha ha…. Google probably didn’t make it without thinking. If it judged it couldn’t win, it wouldn’t have started in the first place.”
“Well, that’s true. Lee Soo-dol will probably lose.”
“Right? Isn’t it amazing? Humans are no longer the strongest in Go.”
“We haven’t even started yet, isn’t that a bit far fetched to say that humans aren’t the best?”
“Well, it’s an established fact that AlphaGo will win. And… look at that.”
Researcher Jeong pointed to the drone flying in front of us and said.
While Google was making AlphaGo, we made artificial intelligence automatic harvesting robots. And the result was constantly being tested.
Crops were planted in a large empty lot next to the laboratory, and the harvesting robot was working hard to harvest them.
“but.”
“Look at that. The drone flies around on its own to avoid obstacles, harvests and puts it in a carrier. Looking at that, I don’t think Google’s artificial intelligence AlphaGo can beat a professional Go player.”
“Are you looking forward to Google’s AlphaGo?”
“Yes. That’s something, it feels more like a robot than artificial intelligence, and Google’s AlphaGo is like real artificial intelligence.”
“……Well, you can think of it that way.”
“So, when will we release it? Automatic harvesting robot MK-1.”
“We will release it after the DeepMind Challenge is over.”
Time passed again, and Google’s DeepMind Challenge began before I knew it.
It’s been a while since Minseok, Changsoo, and Hyejeong gathered together to watch a broadcast.
“Start!”
Hyejeong said.
-hello. human vs computer. computer vs human. Who will be the winner? Let’s start the Google Deep Mind Challenge.
How far can Lee Soo-dol, 9th Dan, compete against AlphaGo?
