Dr. Lu Qi is an internationally renowned computer expert. He has held important positions in world-renowned technology companies such as IBM, Yahoo, Microsoft, and Baidu, and has promoted innovation and development in search engines, search advertising, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence. . He is also the founder and CEO of Y Combinator China, and the founder of Qiji Chuangtan. He is committed to providing support for Chinese entrepreneurs with funds, mentors, communities, platforms, etc., and maintains a cooperative relationship with YC Global. He has published a series of research papers in academia and holds more than 40 US patents.

Dr. Qi Lu immigrated to the United States in 1992, and received a Ph.D. in computer science from Carnegie Mellon University in 1996. He has been engaged in research and development and management of search engines, search advertising, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other fields in well-known technology companies such as IBM, Yahoo, and Microsoft. In January 2017, he joined Baidu as the president and chief operating officer of Baidu Group. He mainly promoted the "All in AI" artificial intelligence first strategy, and established Baidu's intelligent driving business group to strengthen the research and development of unmanned driving technology. In May 2018, due to health and family reasons, he was unable to work full-time in Beijing and stepped down as president and COO, but continued to serve as vice chairman of the group company.

In August 2018, Dr. Qi Lu was hired by Y Combinator, an American venture capital company, as the founder and CEO of YC China and the director of YC Global Research Institute. Y Combinator is a well-known startup incubator that has invested in many unicorn companies such as Airbnb, Dropbox, and Stripe. Dr. Lu Qi hopes to help Chinese entrepreneurs realize their dreams and promote the development of China's technological innovation through YC China.

In November 2019, as YC was about to stop its operations in China, Dr. Qi Lu established his own new fund - MiraclePlus. conduct. Qiji Chuangtan is an entrepreneurial incubator focusing on the fields of AI and Web3. It aims to provide outstanding entrepreneurs with support such as funds, mentors, communities, and platforms, and maintains a cooperative relationship with YC Global.

Dr. Lu Qi believes that AI and Web3 are closely connected. On June 18, 2023, at the closed-door meeting of Qiji Entrepreneur Exchange held by Qbay in Silicon Valley, he made the following explanation:

Web3 and AI are closely connected in this era, because in my opinion, Web3 is basically building a society dominated by software and data, in which human relationships, human organizations, and social relationships will be more than today's The structure is more transparent, more objective, more reasoned, or more rational.

We summarize Dr. Lu Qi's relevant views:

• AI and Web3 are closely linked because they are both building a society dominated by software and data, in which human relationships, organizational structures, and social relationships will become more transparent, objective, and rational.

• What Web3 brings is mathematically provable trust, which is true ownership. Ownership today is fake because it is controlled and interfered by centralized institutions.

• The combination of Web3 and AI will touch the interests of too many people quickly, so use cases and proof points need to be gradually established, and the wider community needs to accept this possibility.

• The virtual world is better than the real world because it is more transparent, logical and flexible, and it allows a freer and more self-fulfilling life. And virtual worlds can actually own it, rather than a false sense of ownership.

AI is a technology that uses data and software to achieve intelligence, which can help humans solve various complex problems and create more value. Web3 is a decentralized network architecture that uses blockchain and encryption technology. It can help humans verify and share information, reduce intermediaries and monopolies, and protect the rights and interests of individuals and groups. Both AI and Web3 are software and data-centric innovations, and they can promote each other and develop synergistically.

Both AI and Web3 are building a society dominated by software and data, which means that human relationships, organizational structures, and social relationships will undergo profound changes. For example, AI can allow humans to make better use of data and software, improve the efficiency and quality of decision-making, optimize the allocation and utilization of resources, and enhance competitiveness and innovation. Web3 can make it easier for humans to verify and share information, establish mathematically provable trust, enable true ownership, and form stronger communities and networks.

Both AI and Web3 are building a society dominated by software and data, which also means that human beings need to face some new challenges and opportunities. For example, AI may threaten human privacy, security, and autonomy, requiring more regulatory and ethical standards. Web3 may touch the interests of too many people, use cases and proof points need to be gradually established, and the wider community needs to accept this possibility.

In short, AI and Web3 are closely connected. They are both building a society dominated by software and data, which will make human relationships, organizational structures, and social relationships more transparent, objective, and rational. But this also requires human beings to have patience and faith, as well as more cooperation and innovation. Dr. Lu Qi's point of view points out the direction for our entrepreneurs in the field of Web3+AI.
