Chapter 26 Prospects

In fact, Lu Yuan was still thinking about a question, Sonny's appearance was an accident, he could be sure that he was not wrong at that time, and chose an ordinary NS-5 that had not yet left the factory, so why did he become Sonny when he ingested it in reality?

It shouldn't be!

Before and after, I ingested a total weight of more than 50kg of various substances in "Neverending", and there were no accidents, that is, in this second movie, there was a damn accident!

There is no doubt that he attaches importance to this problem, and he must find out the cause of this accident, otherwise he will not be able to bear it again at a critical moment in the future, Lu Yuan does not think that he will have such good luck all the time.

However, when he was at the hotel today, he re-tested this problem many times, and found that neither "Neverending" nor "Enemy of the Machine" had any accidents again, and the conclusion may prove that it was really just an accident?

Without more intelligence information in hand, and without a way to judge, Lu Yuan had no choice but to be vigilant to prevent such incidents from happening in the future without psychological preparation.

Sitting on the rotating chair, he made himself a cup of tea, and out of politeness, Lu Yuanbai asked, "Do you need tea?" ”

"Thanks, I don't need it, sir." Sonny politely refused, of course, as a robot, it couldn't drink tea.

"Well, then I'll ask you a few more questions."

Lu Yuan blew the tea leaves floating on the surface of the hot tea, "Regarding the direction of our future cooperation." ”

"Cooperation?" Sonny wondered.

"Yes, it's cooperation, not you helping me."

Lu Yuan said solemnly: "Just like I said before, Sonny, what is the meaning of your existence?" Did Dr. Lenny really create you just to remind Detective Dale and help Detective Dale stop the VIKI rebellion? ”

“……”

Sonny confused: "My meaning ......"

"Just like human beings, although life is only for living, but if there is no meaning, it is not necessarily, everyone has their own way of living and life and pursuit, what is your meaning, what is the pursuit? You'll need to think for yourself in the future, but for now, you at least agree with me, right? ”

Lu Yuan took a sip of tea: "Our world cannot repeat the tragedy of your world, and we must redefine artificial intelligence and robots...... How about a day you spent today? Did you notice anything about the object I asked you to focus on last night? ”

"Although the history of this world is different from mine, the research direction of artificial intelligence is broadly similar."

Sonny's electronic eyes flashed blue light: "I focused on searching, and the research institutions that have achieved good results in the development and research of artificial intelligence are MIT, CMU, IBM, Microsoft, Google, Honda, Sony, Apple, Facebook, ......"

It lists more than 50 research institutes or companies in one go, all of which have invested heavily in artificial intelligence and have made some corresponding achievements.

"According to the level of research, the artificial intelligence in the world is still at a low level, but from the information downloaded from the Internet, I think that in the next ten years, artificial intelligence will initially reach the level of human brain intelligence."

"Poof......

Lu Yuan squirted out a sip of tea and looked at Sonny in surprise: "Within ten years?" How can it be? Today's artificial intelligence should only be three to four years old. ”

"Sir, this is what I have surmised from the information that has been released by various institutional laboratories around the world so far."

Sonny's electronic eyes flickered, and the projected three-dimensional hologram began to show image data.

"Since 2005, the MIT AI Lab has participated in the AGENT project proposed by the Defense Research Projects Agency, according to the data left by its networking, the host codenamed K2 in this project can adapt its behavior to its environment and goals, can flexibly adapt to changing environments and goals, can learn from experience, and can make appropriate choices given perceptual and computational constraints. Its intelligence level is basically the same as the average human intelligence level of seven to eight years old......"

It's not too difficult to say that such classified items were searched by Sonny from fragmentary information, after all, those laboratory tests have to be connected to the Internet, and a network is bound to leave traces. Ordinary people can't find useful information from these encrypted garbled characters, but for Sonny, its room-temperature quantum computer runs a million times faster than Tianhe-2, and in its eyes, as long as it is not physically disconnected, there are no secrets in this world.

This is secondary, and it is the conclusion that Sonny says is surprising.

According to it, by 2025, the level of artificial intelligence in the secret laboratory will basically reach the level of human intelligence, which is basically the same as the technical level of its world in 2014.

The technological level of the real world and "Enemy of the Machine" is only 11 years apart? Well, counting civilian promotion, it will be 20 years at most!

"Yes, in this way, this world is deeper than ordinary people imagine."

Lu Yuan pinched his chin, thoughtfully, originally he thought that the development of artificial intelligence was slow, and he would not be able to reach the level of human intelligence in thirty or forty years, but where did he think that even without Sonny's technical interference, he could complete the intermediate stage of artificial intelligence within ten years.

But it's one thing for AI to reach the level of human intelligence, and it's another thing to have human emotions.

Sonny is special in that it goes beyond the core goal of human beings to give artificial intelligence and produces emotional thinking that only intelligent beings have, which is an incredibly special example.

If you want to talk about the underlying hardware, Sonny is consistent with the rest of the NS-5, and if you want to say that the high-level software algorithms are also consistent, then why does Sonny have emotions, and the rest of the NS-5 does not?

It's a question that even Sonny himself can't tell.

"So, in general, my goal is to set up a company like USR, with the aim of researching artificial intelligence and ultimately preventing the emergence of a wrong choice similar to yours......"

Lu Yuan explained his plan, and what he said was naturally a goal that was in line with Sonny's meaning, and it was impossible for him to say that his real goal was to disrupt the course of history, so sit back and watch a good show. Although the final plan is not as good as it sounds, in fact, Lu Yuan actually attaches great importance to artificial intelligence.

Before the development of nuclear weapons, people did not perceive any threat to humanity. But it wasn't until nuclear weapons really showed their power that people realized that they were already the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of mankind.

AI is no joke, and when it shows a threat, it's too late to regret it. Lu Yuan's desire to interfere in the history of mankind and the process of scientific and technological development is an interesting bad taste, but he doesn't want to really finish playing with mankind.

It's because of what he said, but there is still a bit of sincerity in it.

"Establishing USR is not an easy task, and by 2035, USR will have a total market capitalization of more than $2.3 trillion, four times the ...... of Microsoft"

Sonny replied earnestly.

"Ahem, okay, I know that......"

The USR company in the movie has almost monopolized the production of intelligent robots, and has sold robots to families all over the world, and it is not surprising that the market value has reached 2.3 trillion US dollars.

Lu Yuan prompted: "Plan, this is just a plan, the plan of mankind is a prospect for the future, not to mention that you know the level of science and technology in this world, with your existence, I think it is not too difficult to complete this plan." ”

"What are you going to do, sir?"

"First of all, I need to know what information you have stored."

Lu Yuan looked at Sonny expectantly, if it stored a lot of technical information in its electronic brain, no matter what it was, it would definitely be much stronger than the technology in the real world, and this would be capital in the 21st century!

Knowledge is power, especially in the 21st century.
