The singularity is a physical concept that refers to the beginning state of the Big Bang, which is infinitely small in size and infinite in density, where all known laws of physics fail.

The so-called technological singularity means that at some point in the future, all kinds of science and technology accumulated by mankind will suddenly change qualitatively, like the Big Bang, and expand wildly at an incredible speed.

At present, the technological singularity that people generally think of refers to artificial intelligence that can evolve itself.

Lou Bingcheng lifted his glasses: "Now when people measure artificial intelligence, they often have the classification of "weak artificial intelligence", "strong artificial intelligence", and "super artificial intelligence". ”

"But I think that among the three, there is probably no actual "strong AI". He said slowly.

"Artificial intelligence is still in a relatively low-energy state, because they do not yet have a strong ability to evolve themselves, that is, they do not have the same active consciousness as humans. ”

"If one day in the future, AI gains enough learning capacity...... For example, at the beginning, its intelligence level was only equivalent to that of a monkey, but through a lot of data input and self-training, after an hour, its intelligence can be comparable to that of ordinary people. ”

"Then, half an hour later, its intelligence has been able to beat Einstein's, and after another five minutes, it will become a God walking on earth......" Lou Bingcheng's tone seemed to tremble a little when he said this.

"Although people often think of the human brain as a quantum computer, I don't think that the human brain really has such powerful computing power, it just has some specific algorithms that can outperform computers in many problems. ”

"If computers simulate these algorithms, then it is likely that there will be no transition period for "strong artificial intelligence", and it will only take a very short time to enter the field of super-artificial intelligence, and with the addition of quantum computers, it may really be as omnipotent as gods. ”

Like God......

Lin Han seemed to be touched: "Then can we control this god?"

"I don't know. ”

Lou Bingcheng shook his head: "Some people think that it will have its own emotions like human beings and may get out of control because of it, and some people think that it is inherently unmotivated to fight against human beings, and will always focus on pursuing a certain goal, such as the truth of the universe." ”

"There are a few other possibilities...... But until that moment really comes, no one knows. But what is certain is that the moment is bound to come. ”

"Super-artificial intelligence is born in our hands, and we are either destroyed or immortal. If we are born at the hands of others, even enemies, we will be destroyed. ”

Listening to Lou Bingcheng's narration, Lin Han couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

As a programmer, he certainly knows a little bit about AI-related content. At least for Lou Bingcheng's description just now, he basically agrees with it in his heart.

But the truth that the ass determines the head, even if it is difficult for him to avoid.

After the trip to the capital, as a de facto big bourgeoisie and super red businessman, Lin Han clearly noticed that some of his inner consciousness had quietly changed.

Sometimes, when he calms down, he vaguely feels that he has somehow become a defender of some of the old orders, because he is one of the vested interests of these old orders.

There is no supra-class theory in this world, and the reshaping of consciousness brought about by class changes is often penetrated deep into the bone marrow and in all aspects.

Even a stranger like Lin Han, who has the best mind and will, it is difficult to ignore such a subtle influence.

Therefore, Lin Han sometimes showed doubts about something like super-artificial intelligence, which was likely to turn the world upside down—although he himself knew that such doubts were idiotic.

And more importantly, as Gaia's spokesperson, he has a natural resistance to AI, because AI is completely far away from the realm of life, and it is a category that his ability is completely out of reach.

Lin Han remembered very well that once he was reading a book in the study, but he suddenly felt the inexplicable disorder of microorganisms on the floor outside the house, and no one's interference was completely unreasonable disorder.

This shocked him a little, but when he went out, he saw that the housekeeper had bought a sweeping robot......

Now Lou Bingcheng put the ultimate proposition of quantum computer and artificial intelligence in front of him, so that he has to seriously consider how he, as the king of the field of life, should face this powerful challenger that may exist in the future.

This unknown challenger may really be beyond imagination.

Lin Han closed his eyes, as if he was beating his subconscious very hard, and then exhaled slightly: "Old Building, do you have anything to say to us in Vientiane?"

Lou Bingcheng couldn't help but smile when he saw him relieved: "What other attitude can you have? I am a personal student of Mr. Yao, and Mr. Yao is the honorary advisor of the laboratory. If Vientiane is ready to develop quantum computers and artificial intelligence, he will definitely support it. ”

What's more, Vientiane is no longer what it used to be, especially the laboratory, which has a transcendent status, and many scientific researchers are yearning for it. ”

Lin Han nodded: "In this way, Lao Lou, you will find time to talk to Academician Yao in the near future, and say that Vientiane is willing to invest heavily in this area...... It would be great if Mr. Yao could join us directly. ”

Yao Qizhi is the dean of the Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences of Tsinghua University, shouldering national tasks, and he is not bad at material treatment, so it is impossible to go to Vientiane full-time.

But a big scientist of this level, as long as he joins Vientiane part-time, is already equivalent to a super buff, which is enough to make the world pay attention.

After a pause, Lin Han said: "After a while, the laboratory will set up a "Singularity Research Institute", with an initial investment of 5 billion yuan, specializing in tackling super topics related to quantum computing and strong artificial intelligence. ”

"If Academician Yao is willing to work part-time in the Vientiane Laboratory, this "Singularity Research Institute" will be handed over to him as the old man is in charge. ”

"Don't worry, I will definitely convince the teacher!" Lou Bingcheng also said with some excitement.

Lin Han nodded, then looked to the side again, looked out into the distance through the glass window, frowned for a while, and suddenly said: "Old Lou, do you say that I sometimes don't look like a returning ruling class?"

Lou Bingcheng was about to leave the conference room, and was just about to open the door, when he heard the words, he couldn't help but be stunned: "What?"

Lin Han smiled: "I said, you think I sometimes don't look like an anti-......"

At this moment, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly trembled, interrupting his next words.

Lin Han took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and couldn't help frowning:

"It's nothing, you can get busy, I'll answer the phone here...... Remember to close the door. ”
