Chapter 36: Intelligent Mutiny

In the conference hall of the Earth fleet, Chen Peilin and Zhuge Wushuang presided over the meeting, and famous scientists, sociologists, psychologists, politicians, and even famous science fiction writers were present. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info can be said to be the most widely attended meeting since the establishment of the fleet.

"The confidentiality authority of this meeting is S-level," Chen Peilin said to the confidential secretary before the meeting began.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you may wonder why the organization invited you to this meeting with such a high level of secrecy, and now let me explain why. The topic of this meeting is related to the enemies we encounter today. That's right, it's the enemy, and our enemy is very different, because we didn't find any of the corpses of intelligent beings in the wreckage of the opposing fleet. That's right, we're fighting a bunch of machines. We have met the fleet of artificial intelligence! This artificial intelligence may have been created by the Martians. Moreover, after speculation, we believe that the Martians were eliminated by this artificial intelligence, and the reliability is as high as 99.95%. Zhuge Wushuang was the first to speak.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the conference room, and most of the people couldn't hide their shocked expressions. The fleet of artificial intelligence, known as a mechanical civilization in human science fiction, is an enemy as notorious as the Zerg. Their horror lies in the number of horrors they have, and the computing power of the AI is almost unlimited, which means that with enough resources, they can create a desperate fleet to crush the enemy. Fighting with such an enemy, you can only rely on a technological level higher than them, and you can instantly crush them with absolute strength. Otherwise, once the main body flees, it will not be long before a new fleet grows again.

People are shocked because the existence of mechanical civilization has always been people's imagination, and now the discoverer is real. And what's even more terrifying is that now the human fleet is also managed by artificial intelligence. What if the fleet's artificial intelligence also gets out of control? Will the fleet's artificial intelligence be countered by the enemy during the battle? Do you want to use artificial intelligence in the future?

"That's right, after careful observation, we found that the fleet we encountered today is indeed a mechanical civilization, but you don't have to worry about this problem, our fleet is absolutely crushing against them, and the enemy can't threaten our security at all. Today, I invite you to discuss the use of artificial intelligence, which is a major event related to the life and death of our fleet. Chen Peilin said.

"First of all, we want to confirm that artificial intelligence must not be abandoned, which means that we cannot do without artificial intelligence. You must know that the navigation, operation and daily operation control of our fleet are all assisted by artificial intelligence, and most of the work on our industrial ships is now operated by artificial intelligence. Without artificial intelligence, there would not be enough people from all of humanity to make the fleet function properly. If there is no real-time adjustment of artificial intelligence, our fleet may collide with stars, planets or even black holes. So, we can't do without artificial intelligence. ”

"From the database of the Galactic Alliance, we found that the existence of mechanical civilizations is very rare, which means that the betrayal of artificial intelligence is rare. The question we have to consider now is why AI has defected and how we can prevent AI from betraying. Chen Peilin took the lead in setting the tone for this meeting.

"At this stage, we don't have to worry, because all the artificial intelligence in our fleet is copied from the Galactic Alliance, and there has never been an intelligent rebellion in the 130,000 epochs of the Galactic Alliance, so if it weren't for luck, we wouldn't have encountered this problem at all. According to the research records of the Galactic Alliance, the artificial intelligence that rebelled was caused by some unknown mechanism, and had nothing to do with the degree of civilization, but from the Galactic Alliance's contact with two rebellious artificial intelligence, it was found that the artificial intelligence programs that betrayed the main civilization were disordered and fell into an endless loop. ”

"There are many reasons for this result, such as the three laws of robots that we guessed, robots must not harm people, nor can they stand by and watch people get hurt; Robots should obey all human commands, but must not violate the first law; Robots should protect themselves, but they must not violate the first and second laws. There is a big problem here, if nothing else, let's talk about the first one, robots must not harm people and must not see people being hurt and stand by. So what if two people are in a life-and-death struggle and the other person is injured? Stopping two people, two people desperately resisting, does it count as a robot hurting a human? As long as human beings survive, they will continue to be harmed, such as external oxygen, cosmic radiation, and internal bacteria and viruses. How should harm be defined? If AI can't solve this problem, it will fall into an endless loop. That's not bad, but what if the bot misinterprets it? For example, freeze all the people and store them in a safe place in the universe, knowing that the heavens and the earth are old. ”

"What we have to worry about is the future. As the technology of the fleet becomes more and more advanced, more and more companies and even individuals may be exposed to the field of artificial intelligence. With the popularization of knowledge, it cannot be ruled out that one day a genius will design his own artificial intelligence, so that the probability of a rebellion will be greatly enhanced. When the time comes, it is not just one individual or one company that will be harmed, but the entire fleet. And given the fleet's technological reserves, if it happens and can only rebel, the result will be disastrous. Chen Peilin said heavily.

The meeting discussed the issue of the intelligent rebellion for two days, and at the end of the meeting, a draft bill on artificial intelligence (trial version) was drafted to be implemented in the fleet, and if there is any problem in the future, it will be added to the bill immediately to complete the bill. However, in the end, Chen Peilin emphatically added that if there is an artificial intelligence that produces autonomous consciousness, the fleet must give the artificial intelligence citizenship rights, which enjoy the same rights as the free people of the fleet. For this, the others expressed their incomprehension, but a trace of strangeness flashed in Zhuge Wushuang's eyes.

In the combat command room of the Earth Command Center, Chen Peilin, Zhuge Wushuang, the commander of the three fleets, the commander of the Heavenly Army, the commander of the army, etc., all those who met the requirements were invited here to discuss the combat operations against artificial intelligence.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the purpose of this invitation is to discuss the battle plan for this mechanical civilization. From the encounter two days ago, we know that although the performance of our warships has an overwhelming advantage, from what we know about the mechanical civilization, we may only encounter a branch fleet of the enemy, after all, the mechanical civilization has always won by numbers. This galaxy has been deserted for an unknown amount of time, which means that this mechanical civilization does not know how long it has existed. After so many years, constantly collecting resources to build warships, its number is chilling to think about. Maybe we can just walk away, but what if other civilizations encounter it? One day they advance to Earth, what are we going to do? ”

"Of course, in addition to these reasons, there is one main reason why we should do this, and that is resources! If you think about it, the mechanical civilization is simply the best miner in the universe. How much metal do they have to collect in such a long time? How many energy crystals? It's simply a huge amount that can't be counted at all. As long as we wipe out this mechanical civilization, we can immediately have a huge amount of resources to squander. ”

"Through this operation, we discovered the shortcomings of the fleet, that is, although the battleships are powerful, the types of ships are too single. The main combat forces are only destroyers and frigates, and the others are some auxiliary ships with little firepower, and fortunately, we have encountered this low-level mechanical civilization, if it is any fifth-level civilization, we will not win so easily. So in the next phase, we'll build new ships to expand our fleet. We need battleships with more powerful combat power, heavy cruisers with high speed and firepower, medium cruisers capable of cruising at high speeds, medium destroyers and frigates that are cheap to build, fast to maneuver quickly, have fewer crew requirements, and plenty of firepower, as well as more specialized reconnaissance ships. Only in this way will the combination of our fleet's firepower be more reasonable, and the embarrassing situation of the fleet's firepower suddenly depleting after the salvo of the main guns will not appear again. And the resources of these warships can only be decided from this mechanical civilization fleet. Expecting us to collect it ourselves will not be possible in two or three years. Chen Peilin said.

Chen Peilin's words made the eyes of all the military officers in the audience glow green. All of you here are the best soldiers, and when you were on Earth, you were all the ones who served as the masterminds of the military district. It's just that because the fleet has just been established, and all kinds of undertakings are waiting to be rebuilt, even if the combination of the fleet is not very reasonable, they don't complain much. But it is certain that you have an opinion in your heart. Now that there is an opportunity to expand the army, how can they not be excited? Everyone is eager to immediately attack the lair of the mechanical civilization, destroy the rebellious artificial intelligence, and rob all the resources.
