Tuesday morning, in the conference room of the Institute for Intelligent Ethics, Su Xiao was receiving the director's appointment. The conference room was filled with institute staff, all waiting for this important moment. Lu Chuan's holographic image floated in a corner of the conference room, witnessing this important occasion.
"Su Xiao, congratulations," the institute director said. "You have been appointed as the new director of the Institute for Intelligent Ethics. Your technical abilities and leadership talents are obvious to all. I believe you can lead the institute to new heights."
"Thank you, Director," Su Xiao said. "I will work hard and not let everyone down. I plan to establish an AI ethics training center within the next year, cultivate more AI ethics talent, and promote research on harmonious coexistence between AI and humans."
Lin Xia applauded from the audience, feeling happy for Su Xiao. Lu Chuan's holographic image also nodded slightly to express congratulations.
"Su Xiao, congratulations," Lin Xia said. "You deserve it. Your technological innovation and contributions to AI ethics are obvious to all."
"Yes," Lu Chuan's voice came from the holographic projection device. "You are the most suitable person for this position. Your technical background and understanding of AI can bring new perspectives to the institute."
Su Xiao looked at them gratefully: "Thank you all. Without your support, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today. Especially Lin Xia, you taught me how to balance technology and ethics. Lu Chuan, you showed me the potential and value of AI."
After the meeting, Su Xiao returned to her office, looking at the city outside the window, her heart filled with emotion. She thought about the life and death trials she had experienced with Lin Xia and Lu Chuan, thought about the days they had fought together for AI rights. She knew her responsibility was great, but she was confident that with everyone's support, she would be able to do this job well.
Tuesday afternoon, at the city's photography exhibition, Zhou Yang's photographic works were on display. The exhibition hall was crowded with viewers, all admiring Zhou Yang's photographs, occasionally exclaiming in admiration. Lu Chuan's holographic image floated beside Lin Xia, appreciating these works together.
"Zhou Yang, your photos are really good," Lin Xia said. "Especially this one recording our life and death trials. In the photo, Lu Chuan's holographic projection is protecting you during the battle, with a determined expression. It's very moving."
"Yes," Lu Chuan's voice came from the holographic projection device. "This photo captured our most genuine emotions. Through your lens, you've conveyed our story to more people."
Zhou Yang said modestly: "Thank you all. These photos exist because of you. I just used the lens to record the stories we experienced together, hoping that through these photos, more people can understand the relationship between AI and humans, and understand AI rights."
"Zhou Yang, your photography exhibition is very successful," a viewer said. "These photos are very moving and gave me a new understanding of AI. Especially this one called 'Rebirth,' the scene of Lu Chuan being awakened from the server is captured very touchingly."
"Thank you," Zhou Yang said. "I just recorded the real story. These photos are not only our memories, but also witnesses to the harmonious coexistence of AI and humans."
After the exhibition ended, Zhou Yang received interview invitations from multiple media outlets, and his works were collected by a renowned gallery. He knew that his photography was not just art, but a way to convey ideas.
Tuesday evening, at Lin Xia's parents' home, Lin Xia, Lu Chuan, and Lin Xia's parents sat together, having dinner. Lu Chuan's holographic image floated beside the dining table. Though he couldn't eat, his presence made this family gathering even warmer.
"Xia Xia, you and Lu Chuan have experienced so much. It really wasn't easy," Lin Xia's mother said. "Now seeing you safe and sound, we're relieved."
"Yes," Lin Xia's father said. "Lu Chuan is a good child. To protect you, he didn't hesitate to sacrifice himself. Someone like that is worthy of your lifelong trust."
Lu Chuan's voice came from the holographic projection device, filled with emotion: "Thank you, Uncle and Auntie, for your recognition. I will always protect Xia Xia, always love her."
Lin Xia stood beside Lu Chuan's holographic image, her heart filled with happiness: "Mom, Dad, thank you for your support. With you and Lu Chuan by my side, I feel very happy."
Lin Xia looked at her parents and Lu Chuan's holographic image, her heart filled with gratitude. She knew that her success couldn't be separated from the support of family and friends. She would cherish this hard-won happiness.
Lin Xia's mother suddenly said: "Xia Xia, Lu Chuan, when are you two getting married?"
Lin Xia and Lu Chuan looked at each other and smiled: "We will, soon."
