"As you can all see, although the current situation is concerned, the artificial intelligence we are currently researching has achieved certain results, but it is still quite far from what we expected, and we now need a lot of research data to find new research directions."

Zhang Xinran said to us earnestly.

"Is there any flaw in today's artificial intelligence?" I looked at the virtual Zhang Xinran in front of me.

"You can try asking her some questions and you'll see what I mean." Zhang Xinran did not answer my question directly.

"It's not easy, let me ask, do you know who I am?" Cui Li asked the virtual Zhang Xinran before me.

Cui Li is a graduate student in the Department of Physics, University of Science and Technology of China.

"And who are you?" Xia Cheng suddenly asked the virtual Zhang Xinran.

"I'm Zhang Xinran, the R&D director in the field of artificial intelligence at AEF, ----."

"And who is she?" Xia Cheng took the opportunity to point to the real Zhang Xinran.

"She? I? She... She... There is no information about her in the database. I don't know who she is. The virtual Zhang Xinran looked unable to answer Xia Cheng's question.

"She's Cui Li of China University of Science and Technology, remember?" Zhao Yuyu said suddenly.

"Remember, she's Cui Li from China University of Science and Technology." Virtual Zhang's glad answer made me realize something.

"Then if she is Cui Li, who am I?" Cui Li pointed to himself.

"You, please wait... There is no information in the database. I don't know who you are. Virtual Zhang replied happily.

"I think by now, all of you should understand what I mean. Current AI systems rely on databases built by our R&D staff. In other words, what we R&D people don't know, this AI doesn't know. Although the current artificial intelligence has a certain learning function, as you have seen before, we are now facing a huge problem that although the artificial intelligence we are developing has the function of information collection, it does not have the function of distinguishing information. "Zhang Xinran pressed a few buttons on the controller, and the virtual Zhang Xinran disappeared in front of us." So we need some large amount of research data to get our R&D people to find new directions to solve this problem. This is also the biggest research topic of our research group. During this time of research, I will send this device in my hand to everyone in your room. For research and analysis. First of all, I would like to briefly introduce the device in my hand. ”

After Zhang Xinran finished speaking, he held the device in his hand high in front of us, "This device that looks about the same size as our usual mobile phones is called RGU8. It's actually a small AI manager. But don't underestimate this device, each one has its own independent database center. That means you can create a new artificial intelligence. ”

"Are you saying that we can create an artificial intelligence ourselves, just like the virtual Zhang Xinran we saw just now?" Cui Li looked at Zhang Xinran incredulously.

"It sounds hard to believe, but it's all true. First of all, we can create a character according to our own ideas, and of course you can create your own like me. Zhang Xinran said and pressed a few times on the RGU8. Suddenly, a prototype of the character appeared in front of us, "You can change the character's appearance, voice, etc. at will." Then pick your personality, temperament, way of speaking, speed of speech, and so on. By constantly refining the information in the database, the artificial intelligence you create will become more and more human. Of course, I would like to ask you to give us regular feedback on the problems you encounter or good attention. “

Zhang Xinran took out another controller and clicked it, and suddenly the ceiling above us began to fall, and sure enough, it was the style of AEF again, and after a while, a rectangular platform descended in front of us, on which were placed seven devices that were exactly the same as Zhang Xinran's hands----- RGU8. Cui Li couldn't wait to pick up one of them, which had an LCD screen like a mobile phone, and when it was opened, the name of AEF jumped out of it. According to the text prompt above, the projection mode was turned on, and sure enough, a prototype of the creation of a character appeared in front of Cui Li.

I also picked up one of them and tested it, and the RGU8 behaves very similarly to a normal mobile phone. In a few moments a prototype of the creation of a character appeared in front of each of us.

The initial task setting is actually much more complicated than Zhang Xinran said, and many of the settings are very detailed. It seems that the creation of an artificial intelligence is not so easy as it seems, not to mention the development of this device, it seems that the research and development technology of AEF company must be very powerful.

"It seems that many of you have a hard time creating characters today, of course, it doesn't matter, you can take this RGU8 back and study it slowly." Zhang happily clapped his hands and motioned for us to stop the equipment in our hands first.

"What? Are you saying we can take this device back? Cui Li felt incredible again.

"Of course, the establishment of artificial intelligence databases is not an overnight thing, and it takes a long time to accumulate." Zhang Xinran said.

"Does it really matter? But after all, this has your core technology. Zhao Yuyu was also full of disbelief.

"You're right, this device does have our company's core technology, so we have made some corresponding settings, such as once you leave this AEF building, the RGU8 in your hand will turn off the projection function and so on." Zhang Xinran further explained, "So after you leave here, RGU8 is equivalent to a mobile phone, just with an additional artificial intelligence software." So it doesn't matter. ”

"In other words, the artificial intelligence that we create does not appear in the form of holographic projections, but on our screens, right?" I looked at Zhang Xinran in front of me and asked.

"You're not wrong at all, it's just that the format has changed." Zhang Xinran replied.

I looked at the RGU8 in my hand. Thinking to myself, that's enough, maybe I can get through this... Everything will start all over again.
