Chapter 164: The Self

"Mr. Wang, is 'Xiaole' a real intelligent life?"

"Mr. Wang, what is the difference between intelligent assistant and artificial intelligence?"

"Mr. Wang, Xiaole's IQ is equivalent to how old a human being?"

"Mr. Wang, how much does this software cost?"

It was almost a minute of silence before everyone present finally recovered from their shock, and then began to ask questions.

Wang Xiao didn't respond to everyone's questions, just listened quietly with a smile.

Finally, a few minutes later, people realized that this was not the way to go, so they slowly stopped asking and waited for Wang Xiao on the stage to speak.

After seeing that no one asked any more questions, Wang Xiao took a step forward, and then said to Xiao Le, who was constantly observing his surroundings like a curious baby, "Xiao Le, tell me, how many questions did they ask in total, and what did they ask?" ”

Xiao Le bit his finger when he heard this, and then replied in a milky voice: "They asked a total of 168 questions, of which he ......"

Xiao Le's fleshy fingers suddenly pointed at a reporter in the audience and said: "He first asked 'Is Xiaole a real intelligent life', and then asked 'Mr. Wang, are you worried that intelligent life will subvert human beings'." ”

After speaking, Xiaole stretched out his finger again and pointed at another reporter and said, "He asked ...... question."

Next, Xiaole's fingers kept pointing out, and every time he pointed to a person, he would say what that person was asking!

This lasted for about a dozen or so, Wang Xiao stopped Xiaole's words, and stretched his hands to everyone in the audience: "This is just the most insignificant function of Xiaole's many functions." ”

Quiet!

Deathly quiet!

Everyone in the audience was stunned by Xiaole's watch.

Is there a machine that can remember all the questions?

Yes.

Is there a machine that can accurately respond to human instructions?

Yes.

Is there a software program with a cute appearance?

Yes.

But......

There has never been an opportunity to accurately understand human semantics and make the most correct response to human questions!

Now, there is.

"Xiaole" has accurately identified Wang Xiao's semantics and made an accurate answer.

Seeing that everyone fell silent, Wang Xiao suddenly asked, "At the scene, does anyone want to have a conversation with Xiaole?" ”

Wang Xiao's words broke the silence, and everyone who came back to their senses raised their hands to be the first person to talk to artificial intelligence.

"Secretary Qiao, it's better for you to come, someone else, I'm afraid that in the end, some reporter friends will suspect that it will be my request."

Wang Xiao handed over this opportunity to Secretary Ji Qiao, secretary of the Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee.

Secretary Qiao obviously didn't expect that he would have this honor, and after taking the microphone, he was stunned for a while, not knowing what to say.

Wang Xiao reminded with a smile: "Secretary Qiao, you can ask him any question at will." ”

Secretary Qiao also came back to his senses at this time, and laughed at himself: "After all, I am a little too excited to be the first qualified person to talk to artificial intelligence." ”

Secretary Qiao's words were originally self-deprecating, but Xiaole actually responded: "I'm not an artificial intelligence, just an intelligent assistant." ”

"What?!"

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned, he was able to take the initiative to talk?

You must know that the difference between active dialogue and passive dialogue is not a little bit different, and it can even be said to be calculated in light years, because being able to actively dialogue means that the other party has a sense of "self" and can know from the outside information whether the other party's conversation involves the existence of "me".

And it is such a "me" consciousness that has stumped all scientists in the field of artificial intelligence in the world, and so far, there has not been an artificial intelligence with self-consciousness.

Secretary Qiao was even more taken aback, and blurted out, "Are you talking to me?" ”

"Of course, Secretary Qiao."

Xiaole replied to Secretary Qiao with a determined look.

"Do you know who I am?"

Secretary Qiao was even more surprised.

"Yes, there are many portraits of you on the Internet, Xiaole only needs to compare them to know who you are, and I know any information you have on the Internet."

Xiaole explained very clearly.

Secretary Qiao paused when he heard this, and then suddenly said, "Is someone behind you manipulating you?" ”

"Behind the scenes? Are you saying that I gave your answer by someone who dictated it to me? ”

Xiao Le was obviously a little slow to respond to this question, and thought for a while before answering.

Secretary Qiao didn't answer the other party's words, he turned his head to look at Wang Xiao, and said in a rather stern tone: "Mr. Wang, if this is really the intelligence you designed, I can only say that I hope you can ensure that his self-awareness will not surpass that one." ”

Wang Xiao smiled and waved his hand: "Secretary Qiao, you may have misunderstood, Xiao Leke has no self-awareness. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing Wang Xiao's answer, the others couldn't help but be stunned, Xiao Le and Secretary Qiao had a good conversation just now, how could he say that he didn't have a sense of self.

"It's a misalignment substitution that our engineers do."

Wang Xiao explained: "In fact, Xiaole is not simply a software program, it is actually a multi-component integrated system, when Secretary Qiao is talking to Xiaole, in fact, you are not talking to Xiaole in front of you, but at the same time talking to the surveillance camera of the venue, the radio equipment, the supercomputer specially prepared by our company for Xiaole, and all the information about you stored in our database." ”

After speaking, seeing Secretary Qiao's somewhat incomprehensible appearance, Wang Xiao thought for a while and said: "You understand it like this, what you are talking to is not actually a software, but all your past information that our company can collect on the network, and a feedback in combination with the current information!" ”

"For example, you ask, who is Xiaole?"

"At this time, our company's network will judge that it is what you said through the radio equipment at the venue, and then confirm your appearance through the guΓ² camera, and then quickly match your information in our company's internal database, know that you are the secretary of Jiangcheng City, and then, the system will collect your past information, confirm what style and type of person you are, and finally, make a feedback in TongguΓ² Xiaole."

After listening to Wang Xiao's explanation, everyone understood.

For example, Xiaole is actually a GM in a game, and everyone who talks to him is a gamer, when the player asks "is so-and-so medicinal material expensive", the GM will first confirm which region you are a player, what is the profession, what is the level, how much cash is in the warehouse, what is the habit of playing the game, and finally, after combining these situations, give a most suitable answer for you.

To put it bluntly, what people think of as Xiaole's "self" is actually the feedback given by the system after making a judgment and excluding the possibility of the user talking to other people.

"Then I'm relieved."

Secretary Qiao nodded suddenly when he heard this.

"In fact, the explanation just now also represents my attitude towards artificial intelligence."

Wang Xiao waited until Secretary Qiao sat down and said frankly: "I always believe that artificial intelligence can only exist in the position of 'auxiliary human beings', and it must not be allowed to produce a sense of 'self', otherwise, it will be the end of mankind." (To be continued.) )
