Chapter 40 Ace Agent

*

"I was stunned by him at the time, thinking to myself what are you talking about, so many of us have been busy for so long, and we finally managed to come up with something that is ahead of the world level, how did it become garbage? So I asked him, 'What kind of system do you think is not rubbish?' He said, 'Brother, do you know what is the biggest flaw in these AI systems right now?' It's no creative thinking! Or "inspiration"! At the end of the day, whether it's a level 9, 10, or 11 system, no matter how fast it is and how large its storage capacity is, it is just a machine that runs programs. In fact, all of its behaviors are set by humans for it in advance, the chef robot will never be able to fry a dish that is not on the recipe, the construction robot will never be able to build a house that is not in the style library, they will not be able to think of gravity because they are hit by an apple, and it is impossible for them to invent a steam engine because they saw the water vapor lift the lid of the pot. Do you think a system like this can really be considered "intelligent"? ’”

"When I heard him say this, I asked him, 'What do you want?' He said: 'I want to make a truly 'intelligent' system, one that has the ability to think differently and creatively, and to be able to do things that these so-called 'intelligent' systems can't do at all!' Brother, think about it, if a robot can generate inspiration, how powerful would it be? In the future, we can even leave the work of system development to them, and they will do better than us! ’”

"I said, 'Your idea is good, but how do you make it happen?' Today's artificial intelligence is essentially to simulate human thinking through logical judgment and numeracy, is there any way you can simulate human "inspiration" through these mechanical things? He said, 'Yes, I've come up with a whole new logic and data structure that should have a similar effect if we use this structure to build the thinking module of artificial intelligence!' ’”

"Because he didn't ask me to work with him, I didn't have to ask more about the specifics at the time. Then from that day on, Zhao Yuejun began to retreat, just came to the company every day to order, and handed over all the daily affairs to me to help him take care of, saying that he would devote himself to developing his new artificial intelligence system. But to be honest, I wasn't optimistic about him at first, because the idea of empowering AI to think creatively has been around for a long time, and many people have made unremitting efforts to achieve it, but it has always been a flash in the pan, and it has never been realized in a real sense. ”

"Unexpectedly, a year later, one day this kid suddenly ran up to our boss and announced that he had developed a new artificial intelligence system, which was much more advanced than the one from Turing. He also named the system 'Athena 1', saying that it was as powerful as the legendary goddess of wisdom, Athena. The boss saw that he was full of confidence, so he asked him to do an internal test first, and the result was shocked, his system really surpassed the latest version of Turing, and even the performance in some aspects has reached the level of level 11 artificial intelligence! ”

"Did he really succeed? Isn't Huaxing going to be sent again? Huang Jianjun said.

Dai Xiaoming smiled bitterly and said: "We thought the same way at the beginning, but unfortunately things are not so simple. Although Zhao Yuejun's system has excellent performance, it was stuck in a key project during in-depth testing, and it couldn't pass the ......."

Huang Jianjun asked, "What project?" ”

Dai Xiaoming said: "Safety test. ”

Huang Jianjun nodded and said: "That is, an artificial intelligence system that can whimsically think, who knows if it will suddenly come up with some evil ideas to endanger society one day, if it can pass the safety test, then it will be a hell of a thing!" ”

Dai Xiaoming sighed and said, "Captain Liu, if only Zhao Yuejun could have your enlightenment!" ”

Huang Jianjun smiled and asked, "What about later?" ”

Dai Xiaoming said: "Because the safety test could not be passed, Zhao Yuejun's new system could not be approved for distribution, which made him depressed." It was something he had spent all his ingenuity and effort to make, and he couldn't accept it if he was killed like this. Since then, Zhao Yuejun's temper has become more and more irritable, and he complains that the testing agency deliberately makes things difficult for him, and he is completely out of mind at work, and it didn't take long for him to resign from Huaxing Company and return to his hometown of Jingfu City. I heard that he later recommended his 'Athena No. 1' to several companies, but he couldn't pass the safety test, so he couldn't do it......

Officer Song asked, "Director Dai, do you mean that someone used Zhao Yuejun's 'Athena No. 1' to launch this robot rebellion?" ”

Dai Xiaoming nodded and said, "Yes!" I'm sure the robot that started the rebellion this time must have installed that 'Athena 1'! ”

Officer Song asked, "Why do you say that?" What is your reasoning? ”

Dai Xiaoming said: "Officer Song, do you know? A few months ago, Western countries just held a cyber anti-terrorism exercise, and they asked a level 10 artificial intelligence robot produced by Turing to play the role of a terrorist to attack one of their virtual battlefield command platforms, and it took more than ten hours for the robot to finally complete the cracking task! But how long did it take for those robot rebels at our Lianhuashan base to start a rebellion and crack the nuclear launch control system this time? Doesn't it seem like an hour? As far as I know, the only thing in the world that is likely to do this is Zhao Yuejun's 'Athena No. 1'! ”

Officer Song frowned slightly and said, "Is that system really that good?" ”

Dai Xiaoming said: "Yes, the original test data of 'Athena No. 1', Huaxing Company should still have archives, you two can go and read it, you know how good it is!" ”

Huang Jianjun said: "Director Dai, I heard that the most advanced science and technology in various countries are in the hands of the military, and maybe there are some military artificial intelligence systems that are more powerful than the 'Athena 1'?" ”

Dai Xiaoming smiled and said, "Captain Liu, you don't know this, absolutely not!" ”

Huang Jianjun asked strangely, "Why?" ”

Dai Xiaoming said: "The most advanced technology in various countries is in the hands of the military, this sentence is generally true, but there is an exception in the field of artificial intelligence." After all, human beings always have some scruples about putting the armed forces in the hands of robots, and even until now there are some voices opposing the artificial intelligence of the army, so in this field, civilian technology is ahead of the military! Take the Turing Company in country A for example, the civilian robots they produce are more advanced than the military robots produced by the Houston company! ”

Huang Jianjun was still puzzled: "But Zhao Yuejun was murdered after the Lotus Mountain incident, if the terrorists have already obtained Zhao Yuejun's system, why should they kill him?" ”

In the face of these two laymen, Dai Xiaoming had no choice but to continue to explain: "This is because when programmers write a system, they often deliberately leave some loopholes in the system, also called 'backdoors', so as to facilitate their control of the system when necessary." In other words, although 'Athena No. 1' is very powerful, its life is in the hands of Zhao Yuejun, so for those who want to use 'Athena No. 1' to achieve their ulterior purposes, Zhao Yuejun is of course the object that must be eliminated! ”

Officer Song said: "That means that Zhao Yuejun is dead, and no one will know the fate of this 'Athena No. 1' anymore?" ”

Dai Xiaoming said: "Another way is to find the source code of the system that Zhao Yuejun wrote at the beginning and analyze it, and you can also find the vulnerabilities in it." Officer Song, did you find the source code of that system at Zhao Yuejun's house? ”

Officer Song shook his head and said, "No." ”

When the murderer went to kill Zhao Yuejun, he also turned his home into a mess, and the police in Beijing City always thought that the murderer was deliberately arranging a fake scene of burglary and murder, and now they know that the murderer is really a burglary, and the target is probably that set of source code.

Roger opened his eyes and found himself lying on a large bed.

It was a very spacious and comfortable bed, the sheets were as clean as ice and snow, and the pillows and bedding were as soft as feathers and had a faint fragrance. Around the bed is a spacious bedroom, neatly decorated and generous, with European-style retro-style furniture arranged just right, and wiped spotlessly.

Although Roger had never slept so comfortably in such a spacious place in his life, he still jumped to his feet.

"Damn! Where am I?! ”

He looked around, only to find that there was a beautiful girl sitting next to him, quietly guarding him. Her face is covered with light makeup, which makes her look dignified and gorgeous, and a white silk dress makes her look as noble and elegant as a goddess, and her charm is infinite.

"Brother Roger, are you awake?" The girl smiled at him.

It took Roger a while to recognize her: "You are ...... Liz? ”

The girl pursed her lips and smiled: "What, Brother Roger, you woke up from a sleep, and even I didn't know me?" ”

"Xiaoli, it's really you!" Roger said with a look of surprise, "Why are you dressed like this?" ”

Luo Li pursed her lips again and smiled: "What's wrong?" Brother Roger, don't I look good in this dress? ”

Roger shook his head and began to remember what had happened before that. He remembers that he fled into the subway station with Lori during the nuclear strike alarm in the city of Shinhama, then fell asleep while waiting for the evacuation, and woke up to the place.

"Xiaoli, what kind of place is this?" Roger asked as he got dressed.

Luo Li said: "Brother Roger, this is your home!" ”

"What, are we placed here?" Roger asked, somewhat surprised.

He originally thought that he would be stuffed into a refugee camp after being evacuated from Xinhama City, but he didn't expect that there would be a mansion to serve, which was really undreamable.

Luo Li smiled and said, "Yes, Brother Roger, this will be your home in the future!" How, do you like it? ”

Roger looked at the luxurious bedroom and said, "Well, it's not bad! - By the way, what's going on out there now? Has the alarm for a nuclear strike been lifted? ”

Luo Li nodded and said, "Well, it's lifted!" ”

Roger asked, "Has the rebellion of those robots been suppressed?" ”

Luo Li shook her head and said, "Not yet." ”

Roger asked curiously, "How was the alarm lifted?" What's going on now? ”

Luo Li said: "Brother Roger, it will be really difficult for me to tell you about the current situation for a while, in short, you believe me, it is safe here now!" ”
