Around eight o'clock in the evening, Yu Zhiming, who had completed the marking of cancerous tissue during the operation, walked out of the surgical isolation area and was surprised to find that so many people were waiting for him.
In addition to Sun Lin, Guan Qiang and Zhou Mo, there are also Gong Yue, Qiu Yi, Zhou Luo, Shen Qi, Sui Chi, Duan Yi, Jiang Ge, Sun Duo and others.
Yu Zhiming also saw Fang Yu, Gu Qingran, and a man with glasses who looked to be about forty years old.
Seeing everyone gathered around, Yu Zhiming asked, "What was the result of this competition?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man with glasses who had come up to him laughed out loud, "Doctor Yu is indeed a genius. Our little tricks are completely exposed in front of you."
Hearing that this guy had something else in his words, Yu Zhiming looked at Duan Yi, who was always talkative.
Duan Yi was encouraged by the gaze, and indeed she started to speak with her little mouth.
"Teacher, teacher, the other party performed slightly better in diagnosing the diseases of the first two patients."
"But once Sun Lin turned on the signal jammer, she started to freeze and her strength plummeted."
Duan Yi said angrily, "It turns out that the one competing with us wasn't her at all, but a medical AI system."
"Medical AI?" Yu Zhiming looked at Sun Duo and the man with glasses beside her.
The man with glasses chuckled and said, "Hello, Doctor Yu! I'm Zhai Yan, a programmer and the person in charge of R&D for the Life No. 1 Intelligent Medical Diagnostic System."
Zhai Yan introduced himself and extended his hand, but Yu Zhiming did not respond or shake his hand.
Zhai Yan withdrew his hand somewhat awkwardly, and said, "Doctor Yu, please forgive our offense and concealment."
"Some time ago, we achieved a key breakthrough in the development of the Life No. 1 system. To make more people aware of Life No. 1, we thought of organizing a publicity campaign."
At this time, Sun Duo took over the conversation.
"That year, the Deep Blue supercomputer defeated the world champion in chess for the first time, causing a huge sensation around the world."
"We thought that if this Life No. 1 AI system could compete with the top diagnosing expert, Dr. Yu, it would likely cause a sensation in the medical community."
Zhai Yan added, "Doctor Yu, the reason we concealed this from the beginning was because we wanted you to be genuinely surprised when you learned the truth."
"I just didn't expect..."
Zhai Yan smiled bitterly and said, "As expected of Doctor Yu, in addition to curing illnesses and saving lives, he is also very perceptive in other aspects. He deduced that this is not Sun Duo's personal ability."
"Apologize once again for our concealment and for causing offense."
Looking at Zhai Yan and Sun Duo, who both bowed toward him, Yu Zhiming asked in confirmation, "Has your Life No. 1 AI's disease diagnosis capabilities truly reached the level of those of Dr. Gong Yue and Dr. Qiu Yi?"
Zhai Yan straightened up and introduced himself, "Doctor Yu, I must be frank with you. Although our medical AI system has incorporated hundreds of thousands of case records accumulated by Union Hospital over the past few decades, it can still only independently diagnose common and frequently occurring diseases."
“For complex diseases, it’s necessary to collaborate with medical professionals to continually eliminate options or supplement information.”
"Therefore, the current AI system can only be positioned as a medical diagnosis assistance system."
Hearing this, Gong Yue couldn't help but comment, "With the help of medical AI, Dr. Sun Duo has acquired disease diagnosis capabilities that surpass mine. This AI is incredibly powerful."
Zhai Yan said with a smile: "Thank you for your recognition."
He looked at Yu Zhiming again and said, "Doctor Yu, I know you haven't had dinner yet. I have already booked a place."
"Shall we sit down and eat while we talk?"
Yu Zhiming shook his head slightly and said, "Forget about chatting while eating. My wife is still waiting for me to come back home for dinner."
"If you want to discuss AI technology, I don't understand it either. If you want to discuss other aspects of cooperation, you can discuss it with my brother-in-law Gu Qingran and my studio director Fang Yu."
Yu Zhiming looked at Fang Yu and asked directly, "How did you get here? Did you know about this in advance?"
Fang Yu quickly explained, "I didn't know about it beforehand. I heard Momo say there was a disease diagnosis competition, so I came over after get off work to see what was going on, and that's when I found out."
After a pause, she turned and said, "Doctor Yu, let me first report to you that Dr. Chester from Germany has responded. She said she is very willing to cooperate with us."
"She will come to our country next week to meet with us."
Yu Zhiming let out a soft "oh".
Fang Yu continued to report, "With Academician Cheng, the current disagreement mainly focuses on the future distribution of profits and the selection of future pharmaceutical company partners."
Yu Zhiming said, "Let's talk slowly. There's no rush. Once Dr. Chester arrives, we can have a three-party meeting."
Fang Yu nodded in agreement.
Gu Qingran took the initiative to explain, "Zhiming, Mr. Zhai and I have been in contact before. At that time, our self-service hospital project also needed a medical AI system."
“But we didn’t reach an agreement at that time.”
Zhai Yan took over and explained, "Boss Gu, I was also very optimistic about your self-service hospital project at the time. However, my team and I were fully invested in the Life No. 1 AI diagnostic system, and we didn't have the energy to take on other projects."
Gu Qingran chuckled and said, "I understand."
He turned to Yu Zhiming and said, "I only learned about the AI competition when I received a call from Mr. Zhai over half an hour ago."
"It just so happens that I was discussing something not far from here, so I rushed over."
Yu Zhiming nodded to indicate that he understood.
He looked at Zhai Yan and sighed, "I also know that AI is the trend of the times, but I didn't expect that the AI medical diagnosis you developed would be advanced to this level."
Zhai Yan said modestly, "Actually, there are still many shortcomings. I still need your help, Doctor Yu."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "I know nothing about technical matters."
"As I said, for other cooperation, just talk to my brother-in-law and Director Fang Yu."
"I should go home for dinner."
When Yu Zhiming left, he accepted Zhai Yan's business card.
He noticed that Zhai Yan's business card had a cartoon image of a female doctor in a white coat printed on it.
Yu Zhiming could see that this cartoon character was somewhat similar to Sun Duo, and was obviously designed based on Sun Duo...
On the phantom car returning to Junshan Mansion, Zhou Mo noticed that Yu Zhiming was lost in thought as he looked at Zhai Yan's business card in his hand.
"Doctor Yu, do you feel threatened by AI?"
Yu Zhiming nodded and sighed, "Gong Yue, Qiu Yi, Zhou Luo, and Duan Yi are definitely among the best young doctors in the country."
"It's unreal that Sun Duo can outperform them with the help of a medical AI system."
"At this rate of AI development, in a few years, most doctors will be out of work."
After a pause, Yu Zhiming continued slowly, "The AI most familiar to the general public is the intelligent driving system. Companies have been researching and developing it for 10 to 20 years, with huge investments, but it's still not able to completely replace human driving."
"Zhou Mo, tell me, which one is more complicated, the intelligent driving system or the medical diagnosis system?"
Zhou Mo thought for a moment and said, "People's conditions are ever-changing. Even experienced experts can make misdiagnoses."
“Personally, I think medical AI is more complicated.”
Yu Zhiming nodded slightly and said, "I think so too, but Boss Zhai's medical AI is really amazing."
Zhou Mo asked, "Do you suspect fraud?"
Yu Zhiming exhaled lightly and said, "Let me put it this way. I hope it's true, but I also hope it's false."
"Zhou Mo, isn't that contradictory?"
Zhou Mo chuckled and said, "When it comes to personal interests, it's inevitable that there will be complicated thoughts."
"However, this medical AI appeared too suddenly, and its efficacy is so powerful that it even dares to challenge you, Doctor Yu. We really need to be cautious..."
