"The next step is the most important part of the organization, the election of presidium members."
After the old professor incident, the list of director candidates was quickly screened and determined, and the final selection of absolutely neutral professors was more satisfactory.
"As a director, I have the authority to elect a director and a deputy director."
Hawtrey said.
Under everyone's expectations, Hawtrey continued: "After these few days of meetings, I personally feel that Su is a more suitable deputy director in my mind."
"Of course, depending on everyone's opinions, I won't recommend a director."
After Hawtrey's words fell, it was rare that they did not cause much fluctuation.
It seems that after what happened yesterday, it is the consensus of many people that Su Xiaomu will become a deputy director.
The first was the discussion between Su Xiaomu and Professor Jordan on different concepts in the field of artificial intelligence. From an objective perspective, his views were recognized by many people present.
At least with the support of cases and completely different developments, everyone can see the possibilities of the future.
In addition, Su Xiaomu's state of mind has been recognized by more people.
At least, from an objective perspective, no one wants to be so narrow-minded.
Finally, some of the people here are not from the United States. Researchers, doctors, and scholars from various countries are more inclined to Su Xiaomu from China to some extent.
After all, compared to the United States, they are all outsiders.
While everyone was deep in thought, Tommaso said: "I support Su becoming the deputy director."
Expressed the attitude clearly.
"Professor Tommaso is still so straightforward!"
"Seriously, don't you support it?"
"From an objective point of view, I support it. Although Su is very young, his abilities are there!"
"This sentence is very true and makes sense!"
"It's an academic organization, not a profit-making structure. Of course, we have to consider capabilities more!"
"..."
In such an atmosphere, Su Xiaomu became the deputy director of AIEP and passed the decision without causing too much trouble.
Su Xiaomu himself was a little confused.
"..."
What's going on, brother, I'm just a college student who hasn't graduated yet, and you guys, professors, PhDs, etc., why do you praise me like this?
Although I'm a little bit more awesome, it's not like this, right?
"Congratulations, Sue."
Hawtrey said with a smile and took the lead in applauding, and the audience burst into applause.
"Su, according to the procedure, you have to publish a report on your becoming a deputy director."
Su Xiaomu: "..."
Why didn't anyone tell me about this?
I'm not even prepared, so what report am I going to make?!
It was really unprepared.
He had never experienced anything like an inaugural report, and he was wondering where to find a draft for a while.
"Su?!"
Hawtrey continued.
Su Xiaomu stood up helplessly. It felt like being chased away from the shelves...
Looking at everyone, he nodded politely: "I'm sorry, because my experience is not very sufficient, and I didn't expect that I needed to report in advance, so..."
"Unfortunately, I was not prepared in any way."
"I am honored to be the deputy director of AIEP. I hope that this organization will be a more purely academic organization and that we can jointly explore new areas of artificial intelligence. Thank you all."
Although Su Xiaomu only said a few words briefly, everyone present still gave him a warm applause out of respect.
"...Croaking, croaking, croaking..."
After a moment, Hawtrey said: "Thank you Su for your brief report."
"Next, we will elect directors..."
After a heated discussion from 11 a.m. to around 12 p.m., a 23-member presidium of directors was elected.
Some of the candidates did not exceed Su Xiaomu's expectations.
In addition to the surprise that he himself became a deputy director, Professor Tomaso was also elected to become one of the three deputy directors. Professor Li Feifei, Professor Grosz, Professor Jordan and others were all elected to become directors.
Whether it is a purely academic organization or a for-profit organization, such a result cannot be avoided.
That is, in the general direction, everyone's interests are the same, but everyone has his own small circle.
It is a matter of course that Professor Jordan will become a director.
The other directors have long titles and have made great contributions to the field of artificial intelligence.
In addition, representatives of the three giants Google, Microsoft, and Apple have become honorary directors.
Their apparent purpose is——
Experiments to support the Artificial Intelligence Discovery Program.
right!
Just give money!
This is a common style in European and American laboratories. Most laboratories are established by a combination of capital and academic researchers.
At this point, no one was surprised. Except for some people who also wanted to become honorary directors who were a little regretful that they didn't, everyone was happy...
At 12:30 sharp, the newly established AIEP held a media conference.
Anyway, Su Xiaomu didn't understand this. Everyone said it was right, so he also said OK.
Anyway, he is not the only deputy director.
Many things have been prepared in advance, this is what Su Xiaomu knew when he sat on the podium of the media conference.
The nameplate, the layout of the press conference, and the media reporters from Wuyang Wuyang.
None of this can be done all at once, so this means being prepared in advance.
"Dear friends from the media, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon, everyone. I'm sorry to waste everyone's precious time. After several days of consultation and coordination, and through case and theoretical demonstration, today, our Artificial Intelligence Exploration Plan Organization was officially established."
Hawtrey said in a spokesman's voice.
"I will serve as the director of the Artificial Intelligence Exploration Program."
"The primary purpose of the Artificial Intelligence Exploration Plan is to introduce some definitions and standards that can be widely used and explore the future areas of artificial intelligence..."
Thousands of words were spoken eloquently, and Hawtrey read them with great energy.
"...I would like to introduce to you the three deputy directors elected by the Artificial Intelligence Exploration Plan: Xiaomu Su from China, Tommaso Poggio from MIT csail, and Reinhard Merck from Germany
.”
Su Xiaomu was introduced first.
This means that many things are different, and the media reporters at the scene are going crazy.
It's like buying a memory card for free, and the flash of spotlights can almost compare with the sun at noon!
Although seeing such a young and handsome Chinese man sitting in an unbelievable position made everyone present have some speculations, they still did not expect that Su Xiaomu would actually be appointed as the first deputy director.
The authority of this position is considerable.
"...and 23 directors elected by all the 1,031 members present. They are Professor Li Feifei from Stanford University, Professor Grosz from Harvard University, and Professor Jordan from the University of California..."
Every time I say a name, there is a flash of light...
The buzz started at MIT…
