Chief Engineer Ni said with disdain: "Just because of this?"

Ma Xiaoyang said: "Of course, it is more than that, it is called artificial intelligence, or it is to be separated from the real self-aware artificially created electronic intelligent programs, because I think that artificial programs with self-awareness should be called electronic life." ”

After listening to Ma Xiaoyang's words, everyone pondered, and Ma Xiaoyang didn't care what they thought, and continued: "We all know that our human beings and all known species on the earth are carbon-based life, and many scientists have demonstrated the possibility of silicon-based life.

At present, our electronic technology is based on silicon, which is another proof of the existence of silicon-based life. Of course, it's too far to talk about this. But if we do make programs self-aware, aren't they artificial beings based on silicon?!"

Chief Engineer Ni thought for a while and said: "Don't say it, theoretically speaking, your statement is impeccable, but it's a pity that it is as difficult as heaven for us to get to that point." ”

Ma Xiaoyang said with a smile: "Unlike you scientific research workers, I, a layman, am very optimistic about this.

A hundred years ago, everyone in our land thought that the shadow on the moon was the laurel tree, and under the tree there was Wu Gang who cut wood, as well as Guanghan Palace and Moon Rabbit.

But in less than 100 years, humans have landed on the moon, and the atom has been used in fields such as warfare, energy, and radiation medical equipment, which are known to non-specialists like me.

If anyone told the emperor before, the so-called imperial power, the so-called son of heaven is just a thing composed of carbohydrates like a cat and a dog, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to survive to be beheaded at noon that day, and now even elementary school students know what cells are.

When I was young, I read a book that said that the universe was formed by the Big Bang, and that the planets were all spherical and circled around the sun.

You must know that at that time, the satellites were already in the sky, and the planet was round, but there were photos to prove it, and the photos at that time did not have a smart beauty function. ”

After Ma Xiaoyang finished speaking, he laughed at himself, and everyone also laughed, and Lu Chaoyang and the others also relaxed and integrated into this relaxed atmosphere.

"Later, I learned that water droplets can be spherical in a gravityless state, and that the mass of matter that makes up the planet is the same because of the equilibrium of gravitation and hydrostatics.

What about us now, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, we got industrial equipment from outside, and began to move towards the road of science and technology to break down superstitions.

Push forward 20 years, do you believe that there can be a complete electronic technology industry chain in China, and also lead the development of electronic equipment?"

was named by Ma Xiaoyang, Chief Engineer Ni said: "At that time, how dare you think so much, at that time, I just thought that we didn't spend money to buy it outside, because we were too strong and poor to have no money." ”

Ma Xiaoyang said: "Needless to say 20 years, ten years ago, you could have imagined that our scientists could manipulate quantum calculations? But now Lu Chaoyang's team has done it, and six quanta participate in the calculation, the first in the world." ”

Lu Chaoyang was a little embarrassed when he saw the admiring glances cast around him.

Ma Xiaoyang continued: "The speed of scientific and technological development is increasing rapidly, especially the entanglement of interests between our enterprises and enterprises, between countries, open and secret struggles, as well as the sense of honor, reputation and curiosity of scientific workers, all of which have greatly accelerated the progress of science and technology.

I can't even think that one day any of us will have the idea to come up with a way to use our existing combination of devices to make artificial intelligence possible.

Otherwise, when Master Lu develops a three-digit quantum computer, we can get nearly unlimited computing power through multiple devices connected to calculate the universe, or many of us use the same computer to do different calculations, and gradually the program will produce wisdom.

Because at that time, the calculations done by the program of the same computer will be much more complex than the human brain.

Even now, I don't think it's surprising that some of our cloud services, a huge, complex system that is open to multiple people, have some unknown mutations in some programs, because it wasn't a day or two ago that cyber hackers were working on viruses that can evolve themselves. ”

A female researcher said: "Senior, let's not talk about the causes and possibilities of these artificial intelligences, let's talk about the electronic life itself, do you think it will do something bad to humans?"

Ma Xiaoyang said: "I have such an argument that self-aware artificial intelligence, that is, electronic life, must have been born in a computer system with super computing power and large storage space, and home computers and handheld computers can never give birth to electronic life." ”

The female researcher said: "Senior, you still need to say this! If you are born with no brains and insufficient brain capacity, how can you have superior wisdom and complete thinking ability. ”

Ma Xiaoyang, what about this sweat, this female researcher, he knows that the super boss with double doctorates in hand, the fighter among female doctors, and the existence that mortals can't afford to provoke.

Ma Xiaoyang continued: "Well, this can be regarded as emphasizing that supercomputing power and large-capacity storage are the fundamental conditions for the birth of electronic life.

Now the question is, do you think that the electronic life born in such a situation, I estimate that fuzzy thinking and multi-threaded operation should be its basic capabilities, so compared to humans, will they be smarter?"

"Of course they will be smarter than humans, and computing power will always be beyond the reach of humans," the female doctor said. If we don't make them for anything, we might as well hire one more worker if we have that money!"

Ma Xiaoyang said: "Yes, they are smarter than humans, that's for sure. Then, if electronic life has a human knowledge database and the ability to analyze human behavior, then he will definitely do risk assessment and understand what it means to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Because he is an electronic life and has an ego consciousness, survival is the innate instinct of all living beings, and electronic life is no exception. ”

Seeing everyone nodding, Ma Xiaoyang continued: "So, I personally think that the first point is that those so-called three laws of robots written at the core of artificial intelligence are pure nonsense.

I don't believe that an electronic life that is self-conscious, has a survival instinct, and knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, will not be able to retrieve its own core code, cannot change its core code, and will abide by any laws. ”
