Artificial Intelligence Developer Cheolwoo Lee (14)
A few days after the automatic harvesting robot became known to the world, I met Minseok and the two of them.
“Really, I knew it would turn out like this. The market’s response is explosive, and orders are pouring in from all over the world.”
Minseok said excitedly.
“How much are you coming in?”
“It’s amazing, but I can’t sign a contract because the production line hasn’t been properly built yet… but… it’s just a jackpot, no, a jackpot.”
I had expected enough. Being able to harvest food even without manpower was great objectively.
How much more money does LF make with it?
“Are there any other issues?”
“If it’s a little special issue, is it that you want to support other crops quickly?”

“Well, that’s being developed as data comes in. Time will tell.”
“Well, nothing special other than that.”
“What about Google? Any suspicious movements?”
Surely Google would have heard this news, but there was no particular move right now. Google, which is trying to run a technological super-gap, is definitely not going to stand still.
“I was a little worried about that too, so I looked around, but the board of directors was called urgently.”
“Did you call an emergency meeting?”
A board of directors meeting is convened when a company’s very important business or personnel decisions need to be made. When a board meeting was convened, it meant that something big was going to be decided.
“Uh, I guess it’s because of us.”
“You don’t know what was going on there?”
“Yeah, the information didn’t reach that far.”
“Hmm…”
How will Google come out?
“Well, I don’t think you need to worry too much. Maybe they’ll call a board meeting and do something.”
“still…….”
Even if our LF continues to grow, it is very different from Google in terms of size.
“I know you’re worried, but I think it’s a technical battle after all. Who can create a better technology. That’s the key. I believe in it in the future. Lee Chul-woo.”
“hahahahaha, I have a few things in mind, but I want to discuss them.”
“Like what?”
“There is an artificial intelligence development tool called MI.”
“Oh, I heard about it the other day.”
“Now that I’ve made development tools, I’m trying to develop some more artificial intelligence.”
“Like what?”
“For now, I’m thinking about autonomous driving and an interpreter.”
“Oh, that’s nice? If it’s autonomous driving, isn’t it the dream technology that the automobile industry wants? Hyeonseong will really like it. The same goes for interpretation. If it’s made well, the whole world can become one in the future? Let’s start quickly.”
Minseok said in an excited voice.
“No, listen a little more.”
“What.”
“What we were trying to do in the first place was a patent freak, right?”
“yes.”
“But these days, it seems that they are getting a little farther away from that. We also made and sold automatic harvesting robots.”
“Well, that’s because I can afford it. I have enough money.”
“So there is no production line?”
“…”
Minseok was at a loss for words.
“Anyway, that’s already a matter for LFH to take care of, but I don’t want to do that in the future.”
“So? What do you want to do?”
“First of all, I’m going to make artificial intelligence, whether it’s autonomous driving or an interpreter, and upload it to the NF network.”
“Huh? What does that mean? Explain it a little more clearly.”
“Should it be called a function? Should it be called an algorithm? Should it be called a program? Anyway, we only provide the core technology and let anyone create the service. Instead, we get royalties for it.”
“Is that right? Only provide technology and let anyone make it? Did it work in the IT industry as well?”
Not so far.
“If it’s an NF network, it’s possible.”
But the NF network made it possible.
“Ooh, NF network is amazing as expected. I didn’t know it at first, but there are really endless ways to use it.”
“So I want to do that.”
“Well, that’s not bad. We’re a technology company. That’s a patent troll.”
Even now, royalties coming from various technologies are enormous.
The foundation of LF was a company that received royalties.
“Then we should proceed like that.”
“Oh, but I don’t think just anyone who pays royalties uses it. It has to be someone we’ve given permission for.”
“hahahaha, I see what you mean. I didn’t mean anyone was really anyone.”
“Okay. All right.”
“Then I need to meet Chen Chen-sa.”
Since I created the C** algorithm, Chen Chen-sa has grown tremendously and received a lot of investment. And now it has stood tall as a global navigation company.
Hyunseong also acknowledged and received Chenchensa’s navigation, and Cocoa, which is conducting a mobile navigation business, was also using Chenchensa’s technology.
“Why Chenchensa?”
“You’ll be holding a huge amount of data. And if autonomous driving is created, it’s also the best place to sell it.”
They will have huge driving data. Not only that, but I was also in the black box business.
In order to create autonomous driving, a lot of driving record data and video data suitable for the driving were needed.
“Um, why? You say you’re the actual owner, but you’re a Chinese company?”
Minseok said disapprovingly.
Since they became number one, they have received a lot of investment and their stock has been heavily diluted. As a result, I became the majority shareholder.
Although it was to be expected.
“Well, first of all, we’re giving them a chance. After all, the self-driving technology we created is open to a few companies.”
If Hyunseong wants to do it, he will give it to him. Among them, the place that sells well will survive in the end.
“Well, that’s right. Okay. Go ahead.”
“okay.”
“Do you need anything more?”
“Yeah. Not for now.”
“Okay, then see you next time.”
“okay.”

A few days later, Researcher Jung and I boarded a plane to China.
“Hello! Representative Lee Cheol-woo!”
When I got off at the airport, Jeong Ho-nam, who had met me beforehand, bowed at a 90 degree angle.
“hahahaha, how are you?”
“I’m doing very well. It’s all thanks to CEO Lee Cheol-woo. I’ve heard the news. ITE-X engine, NF network, and even an automatic harvesting robot.”
“hahahahaha, I see. Let’s go to a quiet place and talk.”
“I will guide you.”
We arrived at a quiet private conference room with the guidance of Jeong Ho-nam.
“I heard that the reason you came this far is because you need data for self-driving artificial intelligence, is that correct?”
When we arrived at the meeting room, director Jeong Ho-nam said.
“Yes. That’s right. Have you seen the automatic harvesting robot we recently made? Creating artificial intelligence requires a lot of data. So, I wanted some help this time.”
“Is that so? hahahahaha, nice visit. Few places have as much data as we do. But… if that’s the case, an e-mail or phone call is enough? Is there any particular reason why you’re here?”
Jeong Ho-nam was sharper than I thought.
“Yes. Actually, there is one more.”
“I knew it.”
“It’s a problem after the self-driving artificial intelligence is created.”
“Um, what’s the problem?”
“It’s an agreement rather than a problem. We’re only developing artificial intelligence and we’re not planning to service it. We’re looking for a service provider.”
“Oh? No service?”
“yes.”
“…… I’ll do it right away. I didn’t even think about the self-driving business because I knew how to do it at LF.”
“But it won’t be an exclusive contract.”
“It doesn’t matter. I’m confident.”
The story turned out to be easier than I thought.
Was there anything that couldn’t be solved?
“hahahahaha, then let’s proceed like that. I’ll organize the necessary data separately and send it to you.”
“Yes. By the way, in what format are you going to distribute AI technology? Like C** algorithms?”
“We plan to upload artificial intelligence core to NF network.”
It was an artificial intelligence core, in other words, a collection of formulas.
It was a way to upload it to the NF network and give access to the core to those who need autonomous driving technology.
“NF Network?”
When the word NF network came out, he said with disapproval.
“Yes. Is there something wrong?”
“… Uh, I’m really at a loss as to how to say that.”
“huh?”
“That’s …. Recently, the Chinese government has been taking issue with the NF network.”
“What do you mean by that?”
Is the Chinese government taking issue with the NF network? It was the first time.
“It is not well known to the outside world yet, but there is a possibility that China will illegally regulate NF networks.”
“…?”
What do you mean? Regulating the NF network illegally? why the hell
“I live in China too, but… the Chinese government is bad.”
He looked around the meeting room in the empty private room and spoke cautiously.
“Could you elaborate a bit more?”
“After the NF network was released, many services, starting with CAK, went up to the NF network, right? Oracle, Adobe, content companies, etc.”
After Oracle joined the NF Network, many companies, such as Adobe, which sells Photoshop, and companies that sell digital contents, participated.
I was still participating.
“Yes. By the way?”
“Because that’s the case… I have no choice but to pay the copyright fee.”
“Yes. Isn’t that obvious?”
“Yes. Of course… China seems to see it as a foreign currency outflow.”
“Are you crazy?”
“Shh! Watch your words.”
“…”
I was speechless.
It’s not an individual, but the state is trying to stop copyright fees.
“Isn’t that right? How many free vector gears and TT gears are made in China, and do they pay royalties properly?”
“…”
“Those guys in China are thieves. The country is urging them to do so, but would the citizens abide by copyright? Including patent fees.”
Well, I’ve heard it on the news.
Should I say that the Chinese are annoyed that they can’t get technology from abroad? We also had a lot of technology leaked to China.
And that’s not all.
Environmental pollution is also a serious problem. It is estimated that the fine dust that has been occurring recently is all coming from China.
“Anyway, there is an atmosphere in China that is reluctant to do business using the NF network.”
“Have you seen these dogs?”
“Ha… I want to open right away if it’s not my wife.”
blood pressure rises
How do I do this? No, is there a way?
“Um…”
“First of all, providing data is not a big problem, so I can give it to you.
“Yes. I understand. We also have no reason to insist on Chenchensa.”
“I’m sorry about that part. I’m also frustrated. If you rebel, your hair will fly away.”
I thought that maybe the head that Jeong Ho-nam said was the real neck.
“Okay. Let’s think about that later.”
“Yes. You’ve come such a long way, but I’m so sorry I couldn’t tell you a good story.”
“No. I’m more grateful for giving me advanced information.”
“hahahaha, no.”
First of all, I got the data from Chenchensa. There will be no problem in creating self-driving artificial intelligence with that alone.

However… … .
‘How about China? There’s a reason why they’re called real Chinese.’
I thought it was just because I didn’t like the national character, but it wasn’t necessarily like that. The top of China’s head is garbage.
While thinking about what to do, I came up with a good method.
‘Let’s see how long you guys in China won’t use the NF network.’
If you can’t use NF network technology anyway, the technology gap will widen someday. Then, in the end, both hands and feet will be lifted.
That’s your chance.
‘In the end, it must be important to create an independent technology for the NF network. Well, if it’s strong AI, everything will be solved in one shot… … .’
Can we create strong artificial intelligence?
