If I were the director of the opening ceremony of this Winter Olympics, I would of course play the concept of science and technology and humanities, using AI and mixed reality, which are doing the fire at the moment, as a gimmick, and using Confucius, who can best represent the culture, including the Asian culture, as a torch bearer, to light the holy flame of the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics!

As we all know, Confucius, his old man has been deceased for more than 2,000 years, if I can resurrect his old man in this Olympic Games, and his old man with a few of the most famous disciples to light the holy flame of this usual Winter Olympics, it will be especially awesome, the audience must have a good feeling like a dream.

What can help me realize this creation is artificial intelligence and mixed reality.

I first used big data to sequence the DNA of 10 million descendants of Confucius around the world to get a rough idea of what Confucius looked like, then compared it to historical records and used computers to create an image of Confucius that would be recognized by most Asians, and then made the computer-generated image of Confucius into a robotic and virtual image.

The robot made in the likeness of Confucius can walk like an athlete at the venue, can have a human-machine dialogue, can light the sacred fire, in short, it is very intelligent, can be completely unmanned, ah no, is unmanned control. This is artificial intelligence.

Another virtual image made in the likeness of Confucius can be projected to the opening ceremony of the scene, with the robot Confucius with each other, so that the audience in the real robot and the virtual image of the image of the switch back and forth, I can not tell when I used the virtual image, when the robot, which is augmented reality.

When do I use a robot? I use robots when I need to have human-robot conversations, when I need to run, jump, and other simple actions, and I use artificial intelligence when I can show it better.

When do I use avatars? When I use a robot, I use an avatar, and when I switch back and forth between the robot and the avatar, I use the robot to give the audience a stunning visual effect.

By the way, I just said that the robot Confucius should have the function of human-machine dialogue. So when will it be used? I've thought roughly that it could be used during his relay from the torch, using Chinese, Korean and English to talk to the torchbearers to emphasize how godly Confucius is with his artificial intelligence capabilities!

I also just said that in addition to Confucius, I'm going to use Confucius' students and have them together to give the audience an immersive feeling, but I'm not going to build robots for all of Confucius' students as well, I'm going to just get it done with avatars, and have the virtual disciples and the robot Confucius together, to test everyone's ability to differentiate between avatars and robots.

Of course, it's hard because you're trying to get people to think of avatars as the real thing without giving them glasses. But if it gets done, it's sure to blow up the tech scene, and when it does, it won't just be a sports event, it'll be a tech event.
