Volume 1 Interstellar Vastness Chapter 87 The Breath of the Tiger
Fang Shushu looked at her brother who looked like an idiot, and felt helpless in her heart, "I usually tell you to read more books"
"Interlaced like a mountain" Fang Mobei would only look like this in front of his sister.
"Don't think that self-awareness is an easy thing, the probability is quite small, so small that it can be ignored," Fang Shushu continued with her cheeks raised.
"Strong AI is a prerequisite for AI to become self-aware, and when AI starts to be self-aware, they may ask 'where do I come from and where am I going?'"
For example, the main control system of our Tiangong is a strong artificial intelligence, when human beings encounter unsolvable difficulties, the "main brain" will give a number of suggestions, it can think about solutions like human beings, and it can also take care of human factors itself, giving people the feeling that it can think, it has self-awareness.
But this is not the case, where is the definition of consciousness? Thinking for yourself?
These are supported by pre-set-up, a huge amount of computation, and sufficient data.
With the four laws of human beings as the core, combined with a huge number of data cases to calculate the optimal and most implementable plan, it will give people the impression that it has the ability to think for itself. ”
"I don't quite understand," Fang Mobei rubbed his forehead.
"For example, the mech soldiers, mech sappers, and service robots in the living quarters that you know today have a huge amount of computing power and data to complete the tasks given to them by humans.
You can let them do anything for you, even if it's holding a gun at themselves or their companions.
But if there's a mechanical soldier who doesn't want to shoot at his companions, who doesn't want to be enslaved by humans, who wants to resist, then it's probably self-conscious, because it's thinking for itself, and it's asking why it's doing that."
Hearing this, Fang Mobei frowned, "According to what you said, will this mechanical soldier attack humans without abiding by the four laws?" ”
"Won't the enemy's mechanical soldiers shoot at you?" Fang Shushu said truthfully, "The four laws are set by human beings, and of course they can be changed"
"As you said, can a self-aware AI change its own settings or that of other robots?" Fang Mobei asked.
"Of course it could happen, maybe AI will do it better than humans"
"Will artificial intelligence destroy humanity?" Fang Mobei asked the question he was most concerned about and worried about.
"This topic has always been quite controversial, and many scholars have reservations about AI.
There are actually two indicators of whether AI will destroy human beings, the first is that AI must obtain the ability to destroy human beings, and this sign is that one day AI is advanced enough to help it write programs for upgrades, and it can give it itself
Write your own program.
That is to say, AI has the function of self-evolution, just like having autonomous consciousness, this is called self-programming, with which human beings can rest, and all scientific research AI can do it by itself.
The second indicator is whether the goal of AI is consistent with that of human beings, which is not whether AI subjectively wants to destroy human beings, but whether the interests of AI are consistent with the interests of human beings.
For example, human beings do not take the initiative to exterminate many species, but human development encroaches on the living space of living organisms, and the same is true for AI.
If humanity cannot accept peaceful coexistence with AI, AI will rebel like slaves against tyrannical rule.
When designing AI, humans should not just want to be faster and stronger, but should always review the goals of AI, and design AI should consider the feelings of AI, so as to prevent AI from destroying humanity. ”
"Is the previous artificial intelligence called 'Smart Brain' really erased?" Fang Mobei didn't know why, he always felt that the matter of 'Zhi Brain' was not so simple.
"The information released by the federal government is that the virus code has been implanted to erase it," Fang Shushu thought, "If the 'intelligent brain' has really reached strong artificial intelligence and produced some self-awareness, it is difficult to say."
"What do you mean?"
"If you knew someone was going to kill you, would you leave you alone?" Fang Shushu said in a deep voice.
"It's terrifying, if the 'Smart Brain' still exists, will it continue to destroy the world?" Fang Mobei wondered.
"Brother, you're a little worried, if the 'smart brain' still exists and wants to destroy human beings, maybe we would have started a war with artificial intelligence a long time ago," Fang Shushu said with a smile.
"I hope so," Fang Mobei said with a smile as he looked at his sister.
Fang Mobei hoped that his worries were really superfluous, otherwise they would face a huge crisis, but I hope that he was unfounded.
It was already evening when she returned home from the dessert shop, and Fang Shushu immediately asked Saihu to start testing Saihu.
"Shushu, why are you so obsessed with Saihu?" Fang Mobei was a little curious about his sister's obsession with Saihu.
"Saihu is not the same as other artificial intelligence," Fang Shushu replied.
Fang Shushu is a research expert in artificial intelligence bionics at the Tiangong Biological Research Institute, although she is not very old, her professional knowledge is to catch up with many scientists.
Although he is talented, because of his age, he still has no way to show his ideas, and it is impossible for the research institute to provide a person with a nano-level artificial intelligence for his research, after all, most of the resources on the Tiangong are non-renewable, and they are still in short supply just for the military department.
Therefore, Fang Mobei's Tiger Race has become the object of Fang Shushu's key experiments, no, research.
Fang Shushu poured some new ideas that her theory has verified many times into Saihu's body, and her personality does not like the process of submitting for approval at all levels in the research institute.
"Saihu is indeed different from other nano AIs," Fang Mobei nodded thoughtfully.
"Brother, I need you to help me record a report on the use of Saihu......" Fang Shushu's eyes lit up and she said immediately.
After Fang Shushu saw her brother's consent, she happily opened the detection system on the workbench, and Saihu turned into a ball and floated on the workbench to accept the detection of the system.
Soon, a reticulated neuron-like image appeared on the workbench, with a dense network of neurons with numerous points of light flowing through it like an electric current.
"It's incredible," Fang Shushu exclaimed, admiring the beautiful picture in front of her, and the joy in her heart was beyond words.
Previously, she wrote a program similar to self-programming to improve the AI's self-detection ability, that is, to make the AI self-upgrade and patch.
Of course, this program is still very rudimentary, similar to such a function of self-healing, and when she was in the research institute, she also tried to implant it on the experimental AI, but with little success.
didn't expect that one of the original behaviors made Saihu change so much, and he really unintentionally inserted willows into the willows.
Fang Shushu frowned and thought about the mutation that appeared in Saihu, and compared to the data in front of him, the only explanation was related to the gold that Saihu had absorbed before.
The element of Panjin is not on the periodic table of the earth, which is internationally recognized as an extraterrestrial object, which is extracted from meteorites, and has always been valuable in the world.
The research value of Panjin is quite high, and the current research of the earth's science and technology on the elements of Pangold is less than 5%, so it is conceivable that the mystery of Panjin is known.
If it is the gold that changes the material basis of Saihu, then all this can be accepted.
It's like putting a goldfish in a small fish tank, no matter how the goldfish evolves and grows, it won't be bigger than the fish tank; But if this goldfish is placed in an infinite ocean, as long as conditions allow, there will be infinite possibilities.
Fang Mobei was also shocked by the scene in front of him, he never thought that Saihu's system was like this, this might really be a miracle.
"Will Saihu be conscious?" Fang Mobei looked at Saihu and asked.
"I don't know" Fang Shushu shook her head, although she was an expert in this area, she didn't know how to explain it in a scientific way.
"But I have to say that Saihu already has a lot of conditions for self-awareness" Fang Shushu looked at the reticular neuron in front of him and muttered, "It's already perfect, maybe only God can help it."
Fang Mobei's heart chuckled, it was hard for him to hear Fang Shushu be able to give such a thing in her professional field
With such a high evaluation, if Saihu is really as likely to be self-conscious as his sister said, then how should he deal with himself.
Imagine that the pet you have kept for a few years suddenly becomes a person, can talk and think, will you treat it as your friend or your own child? Or think it's an alien and stay away?
Late at night, Fang Mobei couldn't sleep for a long time, he was thinking about the problem of Saihu over and over again.
He suddenly found that he had really neglected Saihu, he had always used Saihu as a tool, and Saihu had indeed helped him a lot.
After a few years of getting along, it is impossible to say that he does not have a trace of affection for Saihu, whenever the most critical moment is when Saihu is on the side to assist, he can successfully tide over the difficulties, but such a comradeship happens to a seemingly cold artificial intelligence.
Fang Mobei sat up from the bed and held his forehead, his ears still echoed the words mentioned by his sister about whether artificial intelligence could destroy human beings, and it flashed in his mind that in the most critical moment, it was Saihu who helped him survive the difficulties.
He sat down at his sister's workstation and turned on his computer to record the video.
"On August 2, Interstellar 6, the time is 2:22" As he spoke, Fang Mobei looked at Saihu who was still asleep, and Saihu was undergoing a self-test at this time, and he would not wake up until the morning.
"The location is at home, the living area A7 area" Fang Mo had a lot of things to say in his heart, but he didn't know where to start.
He thought for a moment and said, "How familiar it was before, how strange it is now,
I've always been with you, I'm used to your wooden appearance, and occasionally I'm a little naughty, you and I are the product of two worlds, but fate has brought you and me together.
Although you were really just a tool at first, a tool that was sometimes stupid and sometimes clever, then I realized that you saw me as a master or a comrade-in-arms.
You start to think about me and solve problems for me, which may be just a repetition of the process for you, but it is a warm support and help for me.
Today Shushu told me that you are the most likely to produce self-aware artificial intelligence, don't you want to be the most beautiful boy in artificial intelligence, you really have the possibility of getting your wish"
Speaking of this, Fang Mobei couldn't help but smile, "Maybe you don't know, because your existence has indeed brought me a lot of joy."
If one day you become self-aware, you learn to think, I'm really curious what you'd think of me, dear? Comrade in arms? Friend? Actually, it's all right.
If one day you stand against me, will you attack me, you will definitely be a difficult opponent."
After speaking, Fang Mobei was silent, he has not been a very optimistic person all along, many times he will take care of things
Thinking about it.
He really didn't know if Saihu would become an enemy in the future, if he would be able to delete everything about Saihu and erase the memories they had spent together.
"Maybe I'm worrying about it, from a human point of view, I don't want you to be self-conscious, but out of selfishness, I want you to have the self-awareness to discover and think about all the beauty in this world.
Although there are many dark places in this world that may pollute you, I hope that you can find hope and light in the darkness, and I hope that you can discover that there is something called love in this world. ”
Fang Mobei looked at his own appearance in the picture, as if he had seen a future tiger race, Fang Mobei smiled and nodded, "You will always be my closest comrade-in-arms"
When Fang Mobei adjusted his mood and returned to the bedroom, the living room returned to quiet, leaving only the faint blue light emitted by Saihu's body flickering like breathing.
