566 The importance of ethics and the rule of law
For Wang Yufei, the contact with Xiaozhi is obviously not quite the same as others.
He was more vigilant in his approach.
Wang Yufei is not the kind of crazy scientist who has the attitude that he can sacrifice everything for science.
On the contrary, Wang Yufei believes that science is for the service of most human beings, so the essence of science should be to create rather than destroy.
Even the by-product of destruction brought out by research and creation should be sealed.
So although Wang Yufei did not embed the so-called three principles of robots in Ash's underlying logic, he also set rules for Ash never betrayed.
In addition to that, of course, he also prepared a method to directly destroy Ash's underlying consciousness.
The natural precaution is that if the artificial intelligence he created is uncontrolled one day, there will be a future artificial intelligence extinction crisis predicted by a great scientist.
In short, Wang Yufei's purpose in developing artificial intelligence is to make it serve human beings, not to create an opponent for human beings in the future, and the biggest benefit of artificial intelligence is that it can save time.
A supercomputer with empathetic capabilities can understand human needs through natural language in the shortest possible time, and complete work directly according to those needs. This is something that cannot be replaced by the efficiency of any high-level language, not even the Xin language.
This is where Ash is most powerful.
Machines always understand machines better, and Ash's guidance always makes old John ecstatic enough to speak for itself.
These days, in addition to letting Xiao Zhi assist everyone in their work, observing the world and seeing the lives of ordinary people from the perspective of many people, Wang Yufei also let Xiao Zhi browse hundreds of millions of works on human literature and history, understand the biographies of those great and well-known figures in human history, learn all aspects of the development of human civilization, and then continue to communicate with Xiao Zhi, study its thinking logic, and judge its possible attitude towards human beings.
This is not a very easy job, because apart from him and Lu Yuxin, Wang Yufei is not ready to hand over the power to judge to others.
Every time he had a serious conversation with Ash, it would be recorded in detail, not only in terms of voice, but also in the state of Ash's body.
The content of the call will be played back repeatedly, and the operating status of the main body will be repeatedly compared, and any slight differences must be found and then the cause will be compared.
If you change people, it is estimated that you will be tortured to the point of going crazy by this kind of meticulous work, but for Wang Yufei, this is not a difficult thing.
Probably more difficult, if it is found that Ash may be out of human control, what to do with it.
In fact, Wang Yufei is really not afraid that when he is reincarnated, the little intelligence will make some waves.
What he fears is that after Ash's continuous evolution, the eigenstate will change unknowably.
This is actually very easy to understand, the new era of Huaxia invented a word called "live for a long time", which can probably be understood as long as you live long enough to see anything. In biology, the longer a person lives, the greater the probability of genetic mutations, which is why cancer is far more common in modern society than before.
Aside from environmental factors, the average age of Chinese people is constantly increasing, and there are naturally more and more strange diseases.
It's the same with Ash.
If you just look at lifespan, with diligent maintenance and enough accessories, Ash can survive almost forever.
Especially after the completion of other quantum computers, the latent and transfer of proprioceptive consciousness is not difficult for this kind of life that can freely swim on the network. Especially when Ash still has the trick of "bone shrinking skill".
Its body only needs 300M space to preserve basic consciousness in extreme cases, which means that no one can find it in the memory of an ordinary mobile phone. When this phone is connected to the Internet, it can be resurrected in an instant.
If there are any minor problems that cannot be discovered in the early stage, God knows which tendon is wrong for this little guy after a few hundred years, and he will really purge mankind, then Wang Yufei will probably be able to achieve the title of sinner in human history.
Therefore, the prudence of the present is to be responsible for the future.
And compared with training Xiaozhi, the big things that seem big to others are all small things in Wang Yufei's eyes.
So when he received the first strange call, Wang Yufei chose to hang up directly, and set the phone to silent mode to continue the conversation with Xiaozhi.
It wasn't until the scheduled conversation was completed, about an hour later, that he picked up his phone.
His phone was buzzing for an hour.
A total of 13 calls were made, unless three of them were from the same unknown number, and there were many other calls from acquaintances.
For example, Ma Huaide, Gao Deyuan, and even Yu Xingwei also made two calls.
This can't help but Wang Yufei doesn't admire Li Wanhong's broad friends.
Yes, Wang Yufei is very clear about the purpose of these calls, and 99% of them are calls made because Wandu App has been temporarily blocked.
I think that Mr. Li managed to find a group of lobbyists after he called in person and was hung up directly, but unfortunately, Wang Yufei was dealing with more important things, so he didn't answer a single call.
Yes, Wang Yufei understands the situation, because although he didn't answer the phone just now, in the chat with Xiaozhi, he already knows the current predicament of Wandu. It was Ash who used it as an example.
"For example, Wandu is a very interesting model. This company is experiencing a crisis because of the ban on the Xin system, I checked the official letter sent by Changxiang Technology to Wandu, in fact, the solutions and rules are clearly described, such as the punishment and rectification time of one week for the software to be taken off the shelves, and within the rectification period, Wandu should issue corrective measures and plans, including but not limited to the changed advertising bidding method, as well as the brand protection measures for the industry that are conventionally related to people's livelihood, and can be re-listed after meeting the specifications. ”
But Wandu doesn't seem to have too many people realizing that as long as they follow the rules and solve these problems in a week's time, they can get the software on the shelves from the Xin system as usual, and they may even get compensatory promotion. Because according to the provisions of the Xin System Developer Agreement, the developer of Xin System has the right to remove its products from the shelves when it finds that the developer has violated the rules, and it also has the obligation to notify the developer as soon as possible. After the product is removed from the shelves, if the developer rectifies it quickly, and submits a new version within the specified time to pass the test and re-launch, it will consider giving compensatory system recommendations as appropriate. ”
"It's also one of the manifestations of human complexity. There are rules that can solve problems without controversy, but people always want to be able to bypass the rules and try to solve the problem faster, even if it may backfire. Of course, there is a driving force for interests, but it is also the inertia of human thinking, and abiding by the rules is not ranked in the first order. ”
That's right, that's how Ash commented on the Wandu takedown incident.
......
Wang Yufei did not continue to discuss with Ash how the human rule system is established and maintained.
Ash, who has entered the state of debate, can obtain tens of thousands of various knowledge points through the Internet at any time to deepen his understanding of this topic.
It makes no sense.
After all, this special "child" does not lack knowledge, what it needs most is the three views that are in line with the interests of mankind, in the words of the child, that is, the subject of ideology and morality must be excellent.
After confirming that Xiaozhi had not deviated from his ideological and moral cultivation at present, Wang Yufei temporarily ended the conversation. began to take a serious look at the affairs of Wandu.
Although it was only a small problem, Li Wanhong was able to invite his teacher to be a lobbyist, which he did not expect before.
For the circle of friends, Wang Yufei didn't study much, after all, he was not purely competent, and he never thought of discovering business opportunities through contacts to accumulate wealth.
So this is probably the first time he has experienced the troubles caused by social relationships.
After thinking about it briefly for a while, Wang Yufei called Gao Deyuan back first.
"Mr. Gao, I was in the laboratory just now, I didn't bring a phone, what are you looking for me?"
This is not a complete lie, communication with Ash is one of the important items of the overall experiment.
"Oh, actually, it's nothing. I just want to ask you why Xin System suddenly removed Wandu's products from the shelves? This matter is now in an uproar on the Internet, and I haven't seen your company come out to explain a sentence or two, so I will call you to ask. I've heard that it was ordered directly by Xiao Lu, but you should know about it, right?"
On the phone, Gao Deyuan asked very easily.
"Yes. In fact, this matter has little to do with Yu Xin, mainly because Wandu's advertising bidding ranking rules are inconsistent with the user satisfaction scoring policy that Xin system has been implementing, especially the penalties made by the background according to the rules. Wang Yufei replied succinctly.
"Huh?"
This answer also made Gao Deyuan hesitate for a moment before he spoke: "Yufei, in fact, I know that your heart must be good. But in the case of Wandu, do you want to see if there is any other way to deal with it? After all, there are a few national enterprises listed in the United States, will this kind of punishment be too severe?"
"It's not serious. According to my understanding, Changxiang Technology sent a letter of explanation to Wandu while removing its products from the shelves, detailing the reasons for the removal of the software and the rules for re-listing, as long as Wandu does so, it is expected that the products will be on the shelves normally next week. ”
Wang Yufei continued to explain in a calm tone: "The reason why we didn't specifically announce the reason why Wandu products were removed from the shelves is actually to protect national brands. ”
This answer obviously did not satisfy Gao Deyuan.
But Wang Yufei's nominal teacher obviously knew what kind of person his disciple was, and his tone became quite helpless: "Okay, this matter has made a lot of trouble on the Internet. Even if you can't accommodate the technology, see if you can try to make Wandu look better. Even if it's only banned for a week, it's a big blow to Wandu, do you think about it?"
"Okay, Mr. Gao, I'll think about it. By the way, Wandu's bidding ranking fooled a consumer and alarmed the reporter of the central media, and my sister happened to be involved in the whole interview process. I have to say, the experience was poor. Wang Yufei finally said concisely.
"This ......"
Talking to this extent, probably Gao Deyuan also felt that this had come to an end, and he didn't say anything more, but said a few words, and probably asked about the research and development process of Yuxin Technology's quantum computer, and then hung up the phone.
The next step is to follow the process of distant relatives.
Anyway, since he was called, just in the most basic courtesy, Wang Yufei also felt that he should call everyone back.
After all, not many people can know his number.
returned to Yu Xingwei first.
This veteran of Yuxin Technology has also been working hard recently.
In order to lay out the data center planned by Wang Yufei, he was in a trapeze state for most of the year. It's common to run two or three cities a day, and it's quite hard. Not only that, the weekly work report is never ambiguous, and it will be sent to Wang Yufei's work mailbox on Monday morning, so that he can keep abreast of the latest situation of the company's data center layout.
Yuxin Technology, which has dug this big man from Weihua to the present, is definitely a treasure.
There is no accident, Yu Xingwei called this phone to help Wandu intercede. Looking for Yu Xingwei's statement, he once had an intersection with Wandu in business, so he naturally met Li Wanhong, and he had to make this call when he came to the door at this time.
However, the intersection between the two is probably a nodding acquaintance, and the two did not talk about this topic in depth, and after probably understanding what Wang Yufei meant, Yu Xingwei also closed the line.
Next up is Ma Huaide.
The communication between the two was faster, and after hanging up the phone, Wang Yufei felt that it was not so much that the big guy wanted to help Wandu intercede, but that he wanted to understand the reason why the whole thing happened, and to understand Wang Yufei's bottom line in terms of Xin system software on the shelves.
The reason is of course simple.
Penguin also has a bunch of software on the Xin system, Changxiang Technology can remove Wandu's software from the shelves, and of course, it can also remove the software of Penguin Group, the key is the rules!
If an operating system can ignore the rules and remove whoever wants to remove the product, this is obviously not very developer-friendly.
Especially in the face of a large company like Wandu, there is no mercy.
So the communication with Ma Huaide is much smoother.
Wang Yufei probably explained the official reason why Xin System removed Wandu products from the shelves, as well as the specific terms of Xin System's previous agreement with developers, and then the two solved the big guy's questions.
Of course, Wang Yufei can actually think of the purpose of Ma Huaide's call, of course, not only to talk about these rules, but to represent that many large factories hope to get a sense of security from Wang Yufei.
Wang Yufei's answer was also very simple, and he even answered Ma Huaide's question in Xiaozhi's words.
"Play by the rules, everything is simple!"
