A week later.

Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

The Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of the North Atlantic Industrial Complex (NAIC) today welcomed a heavyweight, Professor Joshua Hido, the father of neural networks and former vice president of the Singularity Institute.

To this end, the director of the laboratory, the designer of the world-famous Alpha Dog, Damis Hasebis, personally brought people out to greet him.

More than 30 years ago, when 16-year-old Hasebis entered Cambridge University to study computer science, Professor Sido happened to be teaching there.

Although there are not many intersections, Professor Xido is not only an elder, but also his teacher.

"Welcome, Professor Hitto. As soon as Joshua Hido got out of the car, Hasebis shook hands warmly.

"Hello. Professor Siddo nodded and smiled, shook hands with the others, and followed Hasebis into the building of the NAIC Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.

Along the way, Hasebis and Professor Siddo chatted as they walked, sometimes mentioning campus anecdotes, and talking and laughing.

When we arrived at Hasebis's office, business began to get down to business.

“…… Tell me about your "Project Ouranos", Damis. Professor Hido said

Hacebis poured him a cup of tea and said, "I think you should have understood that the strong artificial intelligence 'Ouranos' is our most important project, and it is the fundamental reason why NAIC established this lab. ”

"The NAIC summit believes that on the premise of not conducting a large-scale war, strong artificial intelligence will be one of the most powerful tools to contain China......

"Nope. Professor Hitor interrupted him abruptly.

"Huh?" Hasebis was stunned.

Professor Hido emphatically said: "There is no one. Strong AI is the biggest jewel in the crown of science, absolutely, absolutely not. ”

"I agree with you. Hasebis laughed.

Professor Sido then asked, "What happened to the EU General Data Protection Regulation?"

"The NAIC is organizing a re-revision of the ordinance, and yesterday I learned from the National Science Foundation that the restrictions on deep learning technology have been confirmed to be removed. ”

"It's not bad. Professor Xido couldn't help nodding, and then said with some emotion, "Alas, I didn't expect that the European Union, which was once the most conservative about artificial intelligence, is now preparing to lift technical restrictions, while the Singularity Research Institute, which was once the most radical, has begun to rest on its laurels." ”

Hasebis couldn't help asking: "Professor, can you tell me what is going on with the Singularity Research Institute? The world-recognized mecca of artificial intelligence technology will actually suspend all strong AI projects, and even your resignation will not play the slightest role?"

"Hmm...... Lin believes that strong AI based on deep learning technology is a huge risk. ”

"What risk?"

Professor Sido hesitated for a tenth of a second: "He didn't elaborate. The information received within the institute is almost indistinguishable from that obtained from the outside world. ”

Hasebis was silent for a moment: "Professor, I heard that the Singularity Research Institute has built a quantum computer with thousands of logical bits, and it is ......"

"I can't break a non-disclosure agreement. Professor Hido shook his head, but then said thoughtfully, "But I want to ...... You should have judged that at the very least, traditional computers will never be able to support such a powerful Vientiane Cloud. ”

Hasebis nodded slightly, and did not ask any more questions.

Professor Hitto took a sip of tea: "Who are the participants in Ouranos?"

"Almost all. "Google, Microsoft, Amazon, facebook, D-ave, Boston Dynamics, BAE Systems, Raytheon...... And, of course, NAIC's universities and national labs. ”

"Looks like you're ready to get serious. Professor Hitdo smiled.

"Of course. "But we still lack a great chief scientist, and I don't think there's anyone better suited for that position than you...... What do you think, Professor Hitto?"

Professor Xiduo sighed slightly and sighed with emotion: "I am about to be 76.5 years old, and my only wish now is to be able to witness the birth of a strong AI in my lifetime." So, what reason do I have to reject you? ”

Hasebis laughed: "It's our honor. ”

……

The news of Joshua Hido's departure from Singularity Research and joining the NAIC Artificial Intelligence Lab inevitably caused a stir in the AI community, but it was not too much news due to the turbulent world situation at this time.

A few months passed in a flash.

During this period, the most media exposure was a series of manned lunar missions of the North Atlantic industrial complex.

The United States, which is familiar with the road, has made the fastest progress, and it is said that it will be able to launch its latest launch vehicle, Saturn 9, in about a year, and transport four people to the moon on the Apollo 21 spacecraft.

Although the thrust of Saturn 9 is obviously worse than that of the Giant B3, and the Apollo 21 spacecraft, as a part of the lunar base, is also not as "complete" as the Lunar Landing 1, some Western media still hold on to the number of manned people who are two more than the Lunar Landing 1 and brag about it.

Vientiane Group has no intention of saying more at all, and Lin Han, as the chairman, shows up less and less.

At this moment, Lin Han was sitting alone in front of the computer desk in his study, looking at the dense codes on the four screens in front of him, his brows furrowed.

The lie problem that chimpanzee AI has not solved so far has deepened Lin Han's suspicions about deep learning technology, and the self-evolved artificial intelligence may have the ability to deceive humans.

As a result, he became more and more determined to design artificially, and forbade the self-improvement of the kernel code to ensure the loyalty of artificial intelligence.

The code on the screen in front of him is the AI kernel that Lin Han typed out line by line with the keyboard. Its initial version had millions of lines, and after several improvements, it is now only around seven hundred thousand.

The amount of code in the Indos system is only tens of millions of lines, and in terms of the number alone, 700,000 lines of code is a very staggering number, and most programmers cannot write so much code in their lifetime.

What's more, these codes are still strong AI kernel codes based on quantum algorithms, and the difficulty is not at the same level as ordinary codes.

Even with Lin Han's current status, if he claims to have written such 700,000 lines of code by himself, it is estimated that some people will think that he has a mental problem.

Once formally verified, the kernel code is permanently fixed and does not evolve itself or even be re-edited.

Lin Han believes that only a strong artificial intelligence designed in this way is reliable enough.
