Zhou Hongyi, founder and chairman of 360 Group, expressed his views on his personal Weibo, emphasizing that AI can never replace the human brain. He believes that with in-depth research on AI technology, it has become increasingly clear that the goal of AI is not to replace humans, but to collaborate with humans. Zhou Hongyi pointed out that people who claim that AI will lead to large-scale unemployment are creating anxiety.
Zhou Hongyi mentioned that the emergence of AI is to become mankind’s greatest tool, aiming to empower mankind and improve productivity. He said that AI should be seen as helping humans solve time-consuming and laborious tasks and promote better human development. Focusing on the development of AI, he summarized the six major capabilities of the large model, including basic capabilities, creative capabilities, multi-modal capabilities, business capabilities, innovation capabilities and scientific capabilities. He believes that if individuals can master basic abilities and creative abilities, they can significantly improve their work efficiency.
When discussing the impact of AI on society, Zhou Hongyi mentioned that with the popularization of AI tools, writing has become extremely simple, but this also lurks the risk of serious social differentiation. He pointed out that although the automatic writing function launched by AI companies is convenient, it may exacerbate social inequality. On the one hand, there are elites who can think independently and are proficient in writing, and on the other hand, there are groups who have completely lost their writing skills and critical thinking.
Zhou Hongyi mentioned in his previous remarks that in the future, AI will first eliminate those who cannot use AI tools, and then those who lack the ability to think. He emphasized that making good use of AI tools and maintaining independent thinking are the keys to future survival and development. Therefore, he called on people to face the rapid development of AI with a positive attitude and not to panic blindly, but to seize opportunities and improve their capabilities to adapt to the changes of the times.
Highlights:
AI cannot replace the human brain. Zhou Hongyi emphasized that humans and AI should have a collaborative relationship.
AI is designed to empower humans, increase productivity, and help solve complex tasks.
The spread of AI may lead to social divisions, and we should be wary of the risk of losing our ability to write and think.
All in all, Zhou Hongyi’s point of view emphasizes the importance of collaboration between AI and humans, as well as the importance of improving one’s capabilities to adapt to the AI era. Only by actively learning and mastering AI tools and maintaining the ability to think independently can we develop better in the future. Facing the opportunities and challenges brought by AI, we should view them rationally and respond actively.
