On December 24, 2023, Zhou Hongyi, the founder of 360 Technology, shared his latest insights on artificial intelligence (AI). He cautioned the public that the fate of humanity and the world may have quietly shifted over the past twelve days, although many have yet to recognize this change.
During this short period, several international tech giants have engaged in fierce competition within the AI sector. Zhou noted that AI is rapidly approaching, and in some instances, surpassing human capabilities in specific areas.
He highlighted remarkable advancements in AI’s abilities, particularly in logical reasoning, problem-solving, and the simulation of abstract thought. In fact, he claimed that AI has already outperformed 99% of humans in certain specialized fields.
According to Zhou, we stand at a historic turning point as these developments unfold.
