Two Things Today is very Important by Jack Ma

Today a lot of people fighting for work hard for education. And we try to solve the problem of putting everybody has the change to get education that means to me. I think education is just like a food. You need feed the people, so we should have food everybody. For every kids, this is very important every childhood, every children in the world. Shares the equal education opportunities.

But the other thing which is more important. What education we should give our kids. What food, we should give, we know if you give terrible food, the kinds who have diarrhea or stomach problems. And what there are two things today in the whole world are very important. The first is everybody has a chance, second everybody hold have a great education, think content. So what I believe that the industry period everything we want to make a standardization, but the AI period, we want a differentiation make everybody different. IT is to enable yourself. DT the data technology is to enable the others. The real fairness of education is differentiate make everybody, every kinds have the right education that ne needs, make everybody be the best at himself.

I always think, should be like a zoo. It is call kinds of animals. This is what I did in my company. I hate to turn my company become a farm, group of chickens or ducks. I want all kinds of animals, they are versatile, so you know you can never judge, because we have KPI, we should not give a KPI for a chicken how many eggs, a chicken we have and put the KPI on the lion or tiger. Lion or tiger are stupid.

So we have to have, making sure the school like a zoo and our company like a zoos. In an industry period, when we make assembly line then make every people like a product should be seen, whether you are girl, you are smart, you are stupid this is the way that you do. If is the food you eat and education become that kind of assembly line, it is a disaster.

Animal has the instinct but machines have the intelligence human being have the wisdoms. In the digital period, we have to think very clearly what is the difference between human and machines.

If we worry about machine will replace people because people in machines are too similar. If we worry about machines that is the problem not machine. So if you do everything a standardization it can be replaced. Unfortunately I am all the internet business we know that if everything is standardized, if everything is logic you would be problem.

We designed our own technology fifteen years age. At that time we do not call it AI, we call AI-albaba intelligence. We do not call artificial intelligence. We find everything if there is a logic.  If there is a logic, machine can do better, if there is no logic people can do better. See sometimes we do not know why this boy loves her, then is no reason she loves him. When you hate somebody it is their logic. We would do some bad things, there is logic. If there is logic machine can do better. And what we did on our company is that we teach machine to arrest to catch to find all the behavior of people arrest the bad guys, because we have so much money transaction everyday people try to steal money we have a plan, we have a logic, machine can do better.

So I think in the digital period, if you focus too much on standardizations, you will be replaced by machines. Human beings have to do the things that should be creative constructive feelings that machine can never be embrace the change, human being can change machine will never continue to learn like a human and if we try to live like people in the past century. It is going to be disaster.
