“They always hold this concept: What is culture? What is history? We must follow their standards and listen to their definitions!”

“Have you noticed, students? What have foreign countries been doing all these years? Seizing the power of discourse in every field and industry!”

“What is civilization? What is fashion? What is culture? What is being qualified? What are universal values? They think everything is defined by them; do you understand?”

“Those who hold the power of discourse and standard-setting have the power to extort wealth and discredit others!”

“So, my students, learn from history. Recognize not only the gaps but also the essence. Don’t blindly follow.”

It was one of the reasons why Professor Zhou’s history lectures were so popular. He could integrate historical lessons with current hot topics, leaving you both stirred and reflective.

Of course, Professor Zhou also held ethical views and often engaged in debates with his colleagues over various issues.

After the morning class, Qian Quan didn’t go to lunch with his roommates. Instead, he left the campus to catch a taxi to meet Li Zihe.

Upon reaching the agreed location, he found that Li Zhiyi was also there.

“Wow, both of you are here!” Qian Quan was surprised.

“Today’s matter concerns all three of us. Come and sit down,” Li Zihe invited.

Li Zhiyi waved at Qian Quan as a greeting.

“Didn’t you have classes this morning?” Qian Quan asked Li Zhiyi.

“I did, two classes. Once they were over, I came with my brother to meet you.”

“Oh, you must have waited for a while then.”

“Indeed,” Li Zhiyi nodded, smiling.

Li Zihe, listening to their conversation, felt somewhat disoriented.

When did his sister become so sociable?

How well-acquainted were they?

And how many times had they met privately?

“So, what are we discussing today?” Qian Quan asked after sitting down.

“We’re discussing business,” Li Zihe steadied himself.

“Huh?” Qian Quan was puzzled.

Li Zihe adjusted his tone, “Didn’t you mention to me before about the chess and Go software that Ajiu developed? I’m planning to set up a company to handle this.

“Of course, it won’t just focus on chess and Go, but we’ll use them as an entry point.”

“Got it. You’re really proactive,” Qian Quan gave him a thumbs-up. “But why did you invite me?”

“To offer you shares,” Li Zihe was blunt.

“Huh?” Qian Quan was puzzled again, then realized, “I can invest some money, but it might be a drop in the bucket.”

“Don’t worry about the investment; I’ve already got that covered.”

“Do you mean you’ve secured angel investment?” Qian Quan, who’d watched business movies, was curious.

“You could say that,” Li Zihe smiled.

“Which angel?”

Li Zhiyi grinned at the question.

“My father,” Li Zihe paused before revealing.

Qian Quan was speechless. It seemed that every father was powerful.

Li Zihe cleared his throat, “You’ll get 5% of the shares for technical input.”

“But 1 don’t know anything technical; I study history.”

“I know, but Ajiu said she needs you to train the system. You’re also an education major, so it’s a good match. Pius, you were the first to suggest this idea…”

“5% is too much. How about I also contribute some money?”

“As I said, I plan to develop comprehensive Al educational software, starting with chess and Go. An additional 50,000 or 100,000 won’t make much difference.”

“I’ll invest 110,000 then.”

Li Zhiyi burst into a chuckle.

“You’re so humorous,” Li Zihe was not amused by Qian Quan’s joke, but upon seeing his sister laugh, a layer of helplessness was added to his demeanor.

Qian Quan stopped joking and asked, “What’s the name of the company?”

“It’s tentatively called ‘One Nine Equals Nine.'”

“Nice name,” Qian Quan smiled. “Actually, I’ve always had a wish that we could create an educational software designed specifically for children that requires facial recognition for login.

“And the backend of this software could be linked to the national database of missing children. If a match is found, a warning will be issued.

“Of course, this is just a wild idea from a layman like me. There’s no scientific basis for it.”

Li Zhiyi seemed lost in thought.

Li Zihe said, “Given the current speed of Al development, what you’re saying should be achievable soon.”

Qian Quan nodded, “However, I hope it would be a closed system; otherwise, it would create a lot of new problems.”

Li Zihe, with his keen senses, asked, “You seem very interested in artificial intelligence?”

“It’s trendy. Everyone around is paying attention,” Qian Quan didn’t catch the subtext in his question.

“Oh, so what’s your view on the future of Al?” Li Zihe continued to ask.

“As for me, logically I think we shouldn’t reject advanced tools as they represent the future.”

“However, emotionally, 1 have some concerns. I don’t know where Al might lead humanity.”

“So sometimes I’m filled with confidence in human wisdom, thinking how we’ve created so many miraculous tools.”

“Other times, I’m quite pessimistic, feeling that we’re heading down a self-destructive path. Even if we knew we were creating a monster, we wouldn’t stop; rather, it would be like a race.

“After all, in the world of the internet, falling behind for a year might mean falling behind for a lifetime.”

“If that’s beyond our control, then if one day Al gains self-consciousness, everyone should just pull the plug,” said Li Zihe..
