Chapter 26: Regret (II)
"You probably haven't mentioned it to anyone."
The system couldn't outline a specific picture, and Chen Bo's eyes were still those jagged brass gears.
Chen Bo smiled wryly and said: "There are only a handful of people in the world who understand the theory of relativity, but what about the work I have done? ”
The air froze for a few seconds, and the silence was frightening, and in an instant, the gears began to spin violently.
"Since everyone is not speaking, then I will first express my own opinions, Director Chen's opinion, I dare not agree."
There was a lot of discussion on the spot, and the chairman who was responsible for presiding over the order did not speak, Wei Huajian raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and continued: "Director Chen's plan is too forward-looking and does not conform to the current development status of the group. ”
Wei Huajian expressed it very tactfully, but instead the short-tempered boss reprimanded the subordinates, I was afraid that he would directly spray a sentence "What a mess of ghosts, just do something unrealistic." ”
Chen Bo insisted on his opinion: "Artificial intelligence is originally a century-old plan that needs a long-term layout, and many foreign research institutes have made breakthroughs. ”
Wei Huajian was very embarrassed by Chen Bo's call, as the head of the artificial intelligence department of Maple Leaf Group, his opinions can largely determine the future direction of the product.
The difference between the two is mainly in the positioning of product attributes, Wei Huajian believes that artificial intelligence should be a [handy tool], just like the steam engine in the industrial age and the chip semiconductor in the information age, which is a product born out of the times and closely related to it.
Chen Bo took a step further on this basis, artificial intelligence should not be just a simple tool, it should have a certain degree of autonomy and independent thinking.
From the point of view, Chen Bo undoubtedly thought further, but he lost to reality.
"According to the available information, the possibility of commercialization of Chen's plan in the next five years is very small, and it is also mentioned that the robot of the institute is currently only a conceptual type, and even the most basic limb movements are not good, let alone independent thinking."
"An AI with its own ideas? How to control the unknown risks involved? How can a highly unstable product reassure consumers? It's a pity that Director Chen's plan does not give detailed solutions, so I can't support it. ”
Wei Huajian's remarks hit the nail on the head, for an enterprise, the key to choosing which product solution is inseparable from interests.
A plan with unclear prospects and potential safety risks is difficult for any mature decision-maker to agree with.
Chen Bo turned his attention to Xiao Feng, if he could seek the support of the chairman, things might have a turnaround.
Xiao Feng pursed his lips, as if he had just experienced a mental struggle.
"Secret ballot, minority obeys majority."
In just a dozen words, the bankruptcy of the plan was declared.
Wei Huajian's ideas have been supported by the vast majority of people, and the relevant technical concepts abroad only need to be updated and supplemented in time to ensure that the technology is maintained in the first gradient.
As for increasing R&D and striving to be a leader? Go home and wash up and sleep.
Chen Bo looked at his plan and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Dismal zero votes, so what.
Recall that half a minute ago, his hand hung in the air, and in a moment of hesitation, the voting was over.
Walking to the garbage basket in the aisle, Chen Bo casually stuffed the plan that had been carefully prepared for three months into it, like a ruthless father, and walked into the elevator without looking back.
Wei Huajian stepped on his heels and took the initiative to greet him: "Chen Bo, don't mind, we are also thinking about the company." ”
Chen Bo nodded: "Well, I understand, my plan is too idealistic, where the future of artificial intelligence is, no one can say for sure, it is a bit reckless to rashly bet all the treasure in one place." ”
Wei Huajian smiled: "It's good if you understand, to use an inappropriate analogy, my artificial intelligence is like a beautiful formula that can help me solve all known questions." ”
Chen Bo asked, "What about the unknown problem?" ”
"That's not part of our consideration, in business, we are not a research institute, we are essentially to serve the interests of the group." Wei Huajian's words are reasonable, he is a round older than Chen Bo, and he is experienced in treating people.
"Your artificial intelligence is like a child who has been raised with hard work, and contains countless possibilities, it may be a mischievous bear child, it may be a well-informed lady, or....a genius that is rare in a century."
Chen Bo added: "The key is how to make AI grow towards our desired goals, rather than becoming a well-dressed beast with a full stomach. ”
Wei Huajian said: "This problem has actually been solved cognitively, as long as the deep learning object of AI is a good person with both morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor, then AI will also be a good AI." ”
"The key is the accumulation of data samples and time, how to judge the quality based on user behavior, and ensure that what AI learns is not dross.
"According to the current technology, it will take years to learn just a game of Go, and the grand blueprint you are talking about is probably a lifetime series."
The elevator arrived on the first floor, and before leaving, Wei Huajian patted Chen Bo's shoulder and encouraged: "One day, I will tie the whole department to your project chariot." ”
"I hope so."
Chen Bo pouted, Wei Huajian was worthy of being a killer of his grandmother when he was young, and he had a set of comforting people.
"I found it, but fortunately I didn't delete it."
Back at his residence, Chen Bo found the original backup of the plan in the computer, the group just had a long-term project to be stationed in the United States, Wei Huajian won this place for himself, and the contact with the forefront of science and technology was of great benefit to improving the theory.
Chen Bo, who has excess energy, also applied for an on-the-job doctorate by the way, and he studied and worked at the same time.
Massive data plays a pivotal role in analyzing user behavior, and a person always likes to ride a shared bicycle to go out, and the system will most likely divide it into low- and middle-income groups just from a single behavior analysis.
However, according to the subsequent increase in the user's behavior, the system found that this guy fixed more than 100,000 luxury goods consumption every month, which contradicted the previous one.
The lack of sufficient data support will make the algorithm full of errors and omissions, which is also the dilemma faced by the current Maple Leaf Group, the one who buys Lolita women's clothing is a scumbag man, and the one who regularly buys YSL lipstick is a straight man who can even pronounce the English order wrong.
If you want to be a roundworm in the stomach of humans, artificial intelligence still has a long way to go.
Chen Bo wrote these interesting things into his doctoral dissertation, but unfortunately due to cultural differences, most of the students who audited were indifferent, so he had to tell a few American imperialist jokes to ease the atmosphere.
"AI and humans are locked up in a secret room at the same time, humans are busy looking for exits, and AI is busy looking for big red pants."
"Humans asked, 'Why are you looking for that?' Does it make us look more festive when we die? ’”
"The AI said, 'No, wear it, and I can turn into Superman and smash this broken wall with my 10,000-pound charged Superman Fist.'" ”
"Humans were amazed and said, 'Oh my God, you can charge your Iron Fist, tell me, it's true.'" ”
"'It's not.' The AI shook his head and smashed the wall with his fist, and both of them were crushed under the rubble. ”
"This incident tells us that knowledge is power, and we must not be ruthless under the load-bearing wall."
