Following this, Nvidia's CEO, Old Huang, discussed other issues related to generative artificial intelligence technology.
This has made people increasingly aware of the serious consequences of tech companies monopolizing artificial intelligence technology.
In their hearts, they increasingly believe that tech companies should open up artificial intelligence technology patent licensing and not continue to monopolize generative artificial intelligence technology.
This consensus, after the end of the Allen Show interview, spread rapidly through the media, driven by behind-the-scenes capital forces, to global media outlets!
Even worse, in addition to Nvidia's CEO, Old Huang, standing up and calling on relevant departments to launch an antitrust investigation into tech companies,
other well-known figures, such as Apple's CEO Cook, AMD's CEO Rory Read, EA's CEO Rich Hilleman, and Microsoft's CEO Ballmer, also stood up in agreement.
Accompanying these well-known figures' calls in the media for relevant departments to launch an antitrust investigation into tech companies, elaborating on the serious consequences of tech companies monopolizing artificial intelligence technology,
tech companies suddenly seemed to be at the center of a storm.
Yue Guang City, headquarters of tech companies.
"These guys just want to seize it by force."
Gao Peng, the head of the tech games department, cursed angrily.
In response, Li Jun, the head of the tech software department, also sneered sarcastically:
"We have spent so much effort and money developing generative artificial intelligence technology, developing the third-generation artificial intelligence Xiao Ke.
Now, they are jumping out one by one to pick the fruits, asking us to share technology patent achievements with them. It's really laughable."
Hearing this, Ni Guanghai, the head of the technology research and development department, also said with a look of frustration:
"Intel has exclusively monopolized the licensing of the X86 computer instruction set.
Microsoft has exclusively monopolized the Windows operating system.
Before this, no one jumped out to object.
Now, we have finally gained an absolute first-mover advantage in the field of artificial intelligence technology.
As a result, they jumped out one by one. This double standard behavior is really too disappointing."
"Isn't this normal?"
Academician Ni Guangnan shook his head slightly, then sighed and said:
"If our tech company was an American company, and the company's headquarters and personnel were all in America,
then the global media jointly condemning us for suspected monopolization of generative artificial intelligence technology would not have happened at all.
But precisely because we are a Chinese company, a Chinese enterprise, it is normal for the scene before us to occur."
At this time, Lei Bu Si, the general manager of tech companies, frowned and said:
"We must do something, we can't let the negative public opinion continue to ferment.
Otherwise, in the long run, the relevant departments may really launch an antitrust investigation into us."
"Indeed."
Lei Bu Si's speech was recognized by everyone present.
After all, if others keep accusing tech companies of suspected monopoly in the media, the relevant departments in the United States will definitely have to stand up and express their position.
In this case, once tech companies are subjected to an antitrust investigation, it would be a light matter to be fined a large sum of money and suffer serious losses.
More seriously, tech companies may also have their relevant technology patents forcibly licensed to American technology companies on the grounds of 'serious monopoly' or 'endangering national security.' At that time, tech companies will at most receive a negligible compensation.
As for why the American courts can do this, whether they have the power to do this, there is no need to worry at all.
Gao Nian from 2024 naturally has deep feelings, because they did even more excessively in their previous life.
After all, they came up with the 'Patent Invalidation Act' to abolish many technology patents of Hua Wei Technology and other Chinese companies.
Then, coupled with the entity list that made Hua Wei Technology vomit blood, there were simply too many of these incredibly outrageous operations.
Therefore, once tech companies face an antitrust investigation, they will really be skinned alive even if they don't die.
Unless tech companies completely abandon the American market, and treat the court's judgment as a fart, silently enduring their other attacks.
But in this way, it will definitely be a serious blow to tech companies.
After all, not only are technology patent licenses forcibly shared with other companies, but they also lose the American market. How can this not be a serious blow?
"Does anyone have any suggestions?"
Gao Nian asked, looking at the middle and senior managers present.
In response, the scene immediately fell into silence.
Then, after a few seconds, Li Jun, the head of the tech software department, hesitated for a moment before slowly suggesting:
"I think we should open source the generative artificial intelligence technology patents, so we don't have to be afraid of being troubled by the United States."
However, as soon as Li Jun's words came out, Gao Peng, the head of the tech games department, immediately strongly opposed:
"We have finally developed generative artificial intelligence technology, but now we have to open source it. Isn't this making wedding clothes for others?"
Hearing this, someone immediately agreed and said:
"Yes, once we open source it, other third-party artificial intelligence will appear in a few months.
We will no longer be able to maintain an exclusive advantage. At that time, our smart phone, search engine, software and other businesses will be frustrated."
Faced with the strong opposition of the two, Gao Nian put his hand on his chin and pondered, then said:
"Open source depends on the extent of open source. If it is only semi-open source, then it is not unacceptable."
"Huh?"
Hearing Gao Nian's words, people instantly looked at Gao Nian in astonishment, wondering why Gao Nian agreed to open source.
After all, the funds and energy they spent to develop the third-generation artificial intelligence Xiao Ke were quite large.
But now Gao Nian actually agreed to open source, although it seems to be only conditional semi-open source.
But even so, it is an invisible sharing of the scientific research achievements of tech companies.
Faced with people's astonished and puzzled gazes, Gao Nian continued:
"Currently, there are two parties holding generative artificial intelligence technology patents. They are us and the Xia Academy of Sciences.
Among them, the generative artificial intelligence technology patents of the Xia Academy of Sciences are limited by the cooperation agreement. Their artificial intelligence can only be applied to the military, state-owned enterprises, and the government itself.
The civilian market belongs to our tech companies. In some ways, we do have a de facto monopoly on the right to use and technology patents in the civilian market.
This de facto monopoly is actually quite glaring. Whether in China or overseas, it will put us in the eye of the storm."
After a pause, Gao Nian continued:
"Among them, because the potential of generative artificial intelligence technology is too broad and its scope of application is too wide,
this also leads to its high importance. In some ways, its importance is no less than that of a smart phone system. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it concerns national defense security."
