After coaxing Yu Qian, Yang Xiaoqian turned to Liu Zhongqian again, and now he has a strong interest in the Zero One Base, and even the purpose of this trip is about to be thrown out of the clouds.

"I have a few questions to ask." Yang Xiaoqian followed Liu Zhongqian's example, and asked with a smile while breaking his fingers, "First, where are the technical obstacles you just said, please explain them in plain language." ”

"I try to describe it in simple language, and the biggest problem right now is the information storage and hardware equipment." Liu Zhongqian said, "The causal chain of many events will be discontinuous in the timeline, especially the long-term conspiracy, which is like a broken line on a blank piece of paper, and to piece together a complete line, all the information must be stored." Now that we can't afford to store so much information, we need not only better hardware, but also better compression algorithms, otherwise it won't be enough to use all the hard drives in the world. At present, even if we eliminate most of the invalid video and audio through various identification methods - for example, some surveillance images have not changed for a certain period of time, which is spam information that can be directly eliminated - but the remaining data still cannot be saved, and the 'system' must regularly delete redundant information and lower priority information. ”

"Large-scale transmission of data can be realized, but storage and processing is a big problem, the 'system' is just a prototype, its ability is very limited, our hardware equipment can not meet the needs, so the monitoring scope of the 'system' is limited to Beijing, if you want to promote the whole country, you must first solve the hardware problem, and then improve the 'system', so that it truly becomes an artificial intelligence with creative ability, not just a machine that decomposes the logic of human thinking through big data collection input. Well, we probably have a long way to go, and there will be a lot of resistance. ”

"After all, most people will be afraid of the birth of artificial intelligence, you know, the earth is too small to accommodate two intelligent races, not only physical intelligent creatures like mutants are intolerable to most people, but the birth of artificial intelligence will also make people full of worry and fear. So, if we can really create a higher life than we are, we must first take care of it and put shackles on it to make sure it doesn't hurt us. ”

After speaking, I don't know what to think, Liu Zhongqian raised his hand and stroked the chain on his forehead.

"Hmm......" Yang Xiaoqian pondered for a moment, worry rose in his heart, but he didn't show it, but continued to ask, "Second, I want to ask, has there been a decrease in traffic accidents in Beijing recently?" ”

Liu Zhongqian replied: "Traffic accidents caused by drunk driving, drug driving, fatigue driving, and dangerous driving that cause casualties have been prevented to a great extent. ”

"Maximally?"

"I can only give you one statistic: eighty-three .sixty-eight percent."

This is not a small gap from the 100% prevention of homicide, Yang Xiaoqian looked at Liu Zhongqian, waiting for his explanation.

"I'm sure you've noticed that the road was clear when you came?" Liu Zhongqian asked.

Yang Xiaoqian suddenly had an intention to arrange the special car.

"To be able to maintain a constant speed in the complex road conditions of Shangjing, presumably only the 'system' to navigate can do it?" Yang Xiaoqian asked.

In order to find a clear road in the intricacies of the road and maintain a constant speed throughout the whole process, it is necessary to use the ubiquitous cameras on the road to measure the position, direction of travel, and speed of the vehicle, and instantly complete the calculation and find the correct route with new variables added at any time.

This is not something that humans can do, but it is not as difficult as it seems for machines, because most of the prediction of traffic conditions can be regarded as calculation problems involving many complex variables, and the best thing computers can do is calculation. Since the prototype of artificial intelligence in the Zero One base can monitor all cameras and mobile phones in Shanghai at the same time, and judge the upcoming crime cases through logical reasoning, it should be a piece of cake for it to calculate the traffic situation.

But if it's really a piece of cake, why hasn't it completely prevented all traffic accidents?

"Because we don't have enough buffer time, the vast majority of homicides, even if they are temporary crimes of passion, must have a process, and when time is extremely tight, we will even mobilize helicopters or awakened people. However, traffic accidents are different, there are so many random variables that the ability of the 'system' can only calculate the upcoming traffic accidents, but cannot prevent all traffic accidents. You see, let's say that a car is about to hit another car, and it's a very simple calculation problem, and the 'system' can calculate exactly when and where their impact occurred. However, suddenly, a pedestrian runs across a zebra crossing, or someone next to the driver answers a phone call and adds a new variable to the problem, the results will be very different, and any new variable cannot affect only one problem, but thousands of streets. ”

"So in this case, the current 'system' can't do a full simulation for a long time, sometimes the 'system' can predict a few minutes before the accident, but soon the 'system' predicts that a possible traffic accident is excluded because of a random variable, and sometimes the 'system' can't predict it until a few seconds before the accident happens, and the result is that the accident happens after a few seconds, leaving us with too little reaction time."

Yang Xiaoqian nodded and sighed: "Even if you are given a few minutes, you may not be able to come to the rescue, the traffic situation is so complicated, it is very likely that if you are not careful when you stop the accident, it will cause the butterfly effect, causing more accidents and more deaths." ”

"Yes, sometimes we are faced with the problem of this train fork, kill one, or kill five? I know it's cold to say that, but IMHO, at the moment there are only numbers in the language of the machine, simple, cold numbers, and in the eyes of the 'system', the problem of train turnouts is no different from 'one plus one' equals two. Of course, that is only a small number of cases, and most traffic accidents we have the opportunity to notify the traffic police patrol in advance to intercept the vehicle that caused the accident and avoid tragedy. ”

"So it's 83.68 percent." Yang Xiaoqian sighed again, it is all human life, but without knowing it, the machine decides who lives and who dies, which is really embarrassing, "Is it possible to do the same 100%?" ”

"Maybe in the future." A hint of excitement and longing flashed in Liu Zhongqian's eyes, "'' After the system is perfected, we will connect to satellites, and make navigation software, perhaps in the future, the use of this navigation software will be included in the compulsory subjects of the Chinese driver's license test, then traffic accidents will be greatly reduced, but it is still difficult to do 100% elimination, it may be necessary to wait until unmanned cars appear, driven by artificial intelligence, imagine that on the three-dimensional road, like a sesame seed crowded with dense unmanned cars, within two meters of each other, driving speed of more than 100 kilometers, a stream of traffic like a phantom shuttle through the fork, another stream of traffic immediately after the neutral, there is no gap between each other, and no time is wastedImagine such a scene all over the world! When that day comes, there will be no more traffic jams and accidents! ”

Liu Zhongqian's description seems to reveal a corner of the future, and the gorgeous brilliance inside makes Yang Xiaoqian and Yu Qian deeply shocked.

Especially Yu Qian, clenched his fists and trembled.

At this moment, Yu Qian let go of the old grudge between him and Liu Yuanzhou, because he clearly realized his own insignificance, when he was thinking about how to use his ability to win more power, and was thinking about his deceitful power all day long, Liu Yuanzhou was using his ability to create a new future for the world.

It turns out that the awakened can reach this height, and it turns out that this is the real height that the awakened can reach!

Change the world with technology! Create the future with ability!
