Li Zhi said something next that made Teng Hua awe-inspiring: "For example, chatting, do you think it is convenient for users to click on the penguin icon to start chatting, or directly let the artificial intelligence contact who is convenient?" Communicating with each other through artificial intelligence makes it possible to completely leave other chat tools behind. ”

"Lao Teng, you don't know yet, Prometheus PC has set up a communication channel called AP, which is encroaching on your penguin's territory!"

Teng Hua thought about it and felt that this prospect was indeed a bit scary.

Is it convenient to communicate with people through a chat tool that has no intelligence and must complete all operations by yourself, or is it convenient to communicate with people through an artificial intelligence? This AI can read your thoughts, recognize speech, switch between voice and text, and even make narration cues while you're chatting.

What's more, this artificial intelligence is also helping you manage the machine and other applications, it is equal to this machine! So who cares about penguins?

What if penguins also become artificial intelligence?

Teng Hua's first reaction was to think so, but he immediately realized that it was useless for penguins to have intelligence, because penguins still had to obey Clover, the big demon king who ruled hardware.

Clover plus Prometheus PC, there is indeed a conspiracy......

Seeing Teng Hua frowning, Li Zhi's tone became heavier: "It monopolizes the interaction between humans and machines, and the next step is to monopolize the interaction between people and the network, and between people!" ”

Yang Yu said: "Lao Li, it's just that you're in a hurry, the first threat of this artificial intelligence is not your Qianhiro's search." ”

Li Zhi smiled and hid his emotions well.

That's right, search engines are the first victims of artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence trained by users themselves, and the rules for using crawlers are formulated by users themselves.

Of course, most people don't need to use crawlers, and directly combine multiple search engines. Organize the results according to the user's own habits, and in this way, the search engine loses its commercial value and becomes a data warehouse for artificial intelligence.

No wonder Li Zhi regards Xia Ming as a mortal enemy, because of the clover plus Prometheus PC version, it will continue to develop. There's no way for Chihiro to live.

Teng Hua thought, why did Yang Yu also hold the same opinion?

Quite simply, the community formed by artificial intelligence will have a huge impact on the B2C e-commerce system, and C2C will be revived again. On the other hand, with the intervention of artificial intelligence, the situation of online payment may also change greatly, which is not good news for Kari, which is based on online shopping and online payment.

However, Teng Hua felt that the situation was not so serious: "If it can really threaten the search engine." Will Google be so aggressive in supporting Shamrock? ”

He shook his head: "The development of the clover architecture is not a matter of a year and a half, and Google just wants to use this direction to enter the desktop." Moreover, even low-level artificial intelligence has high hardware requirements as long as it involves neuro-like computing and deep learning. Clover is still far from that, and the live version of Alpha Dog, which played against Lee Sedol, had 1,202 CPUs and 176 GPUs......"

Li Zhi patted his knees and said, "Old Teng, that Xia Ming said it." The Terminator Neuron Chip will be released in June! ”

He shook his head with some chagrin: "I knew I wouldn't have bought AC Milan a few years ago. ”

Yang Yu smiled: "Just the money can be piled up?" Then IBM and Google have already done it! ”

"Even if the hardware can be produced, how can the software be so fast?"

Teng Hua came back to his senses. I feel that they are all scaring themselves: "How should artificial intelligence go, Google is only figuring out things like playing Go and driving, I don't believe that Xia Ming can figure it out alone!" Hassabis is so good, isn't he still wondering how to win in the game? Can he be better than Hasabis? ”

Just as he was saying this, Li Zhi's mobile phone rang, and he looked at the screen. His face changed.

"Last week, Xia Ming's private conversation with Hassabis leaked ......"

Yang Yu was puzzled: "Isn't Xia Ming in the limelight?" ”

To tell the truth, if it wasn't for Xia Ming's killing spree in the Seychelles with power armor, he would not have been remembered by the three bigwigs so quickly, and then found out that this kid was the cicada boss who was turning over the rivers and seas in this industry.

Although the foreign affairs department has a tough attitude on this matter. But the three bigwigs had information channels and knew that it was the military who protected Xia Ming, and the foreign affairs department had to pinch their noses to help the military wipe their buttocks.

In this case, of course, Xia Ming had to hide for a while, so as not to cause another turmoil.

As they expected, Xia Ming didn't appear during this time, and he didn't even appear at Clover's press conference, but he didn't expect him to chat with Hassabis.

The three bigwigs each looked at their own mobile phones, only audio, but with subtitles, I really don't know where this private conversation leaked from.

It begins with a round of pleasantries, Xia Ming speaks awkward English, Hasabis speaks awkward Chinese, the latter's mother is Chinese, and blood is the best topic to bring the two closer.

After entering a more formal conversation, Xia Ming behaved very humblely, a bit like a college student facing an idol: "My father also knows you, saying that when he was young, he liked to play the "Theme Park" and "Black and White" that you participated in the production, especially "Black and White", the divine beasts that can be trained are really great, and at that time, everyone didn't know that training the divine beasts was training artificial intelligence. ”

This kind of praise should have been heard a lot, but with Xia Ming's identity and fame, he must be in a good mood when he said this.

In a slightly exaggerated tone, he said, "Oh, the artificial intelligence of the mythical beast in "Black and White" may not even be a baby! ”

Hassabis also praised Xia Ming, saying that he was taken aback by the appearance of Galaxy of Illusions, and that he really didn't expect that Mekrit technology would be revived so quickly. In his vision, it is necessary to wait until the brain-computer interface technology is mature and the human brain can directly receive electronic signals, and then it is necessary to use this technology that corresponds to reality from the core mechanism to realize VR.

Xia Ming introduced the research of artificial intelligence from the perspective of biomimetics by the Swallow Macron Neural Research Institute to Hassabis, saying that "Phantom Galaxy" and the Alfalfa engine are all research results in this regard. Hassabis's tone also became more humble, and he believed that Xia Ming and his team were doing more basic scientific research, and his research on artificial intelligence was somewhat like an engineer in comparison.

After the two praised each other. The exchange of ideas on artificial intelligence began, and this part of the conversation lasted more than ten minutes and involved the scientific concepts and terminology that were highly obscure.

Most of the listeners were impatient and skipped directly, but the three bigwigs, Teng Hua, Li Zhi and Yang Yu, listened to it with relish. Although they have been away from academics for too long, they still have basic literacy. I can barely understand what the two are saying.

And they all made up their minds, and they had to find experts to analyze it well after they went back, Hassabis is the leader in the field of weak artificial intelligence, and Xia Ming is the successor of Xu Ping, an authority on the basic research of strong artificial intelligence. These two people's views on artificial intelligence are completely the vane of the future development of the industry.

It can be heard that Xia Ming is very interested in weak artificial intelligence, and asked Hassabis several questions about deep learning, after all, his research institute is in the direction of bionic hardware. is a weakness in this regard.

Hassabis explained that the core is to analyze the learning mechanism of human beings, condense it into mathematical methods, and transform it into a machine learning mechanism through an algorithm model. The former part happens to be the work of Xia Ming's research institute, while their focus is on the latter part.

This seemed to make Xia Ming very inspired, and he was silent for several seconds.

Then the conversation between the two became lighter, imagining various applications of artificial intelligence in the future. Hassabis said he was looking forward to the performance of artificial intelligence in "Galaxy of Illusions", and Xia Ming also said that if Boston Dynamics was still at Google. Atlas combined with Beta, that's exactly the 3PO from Star Wars. In the future, everyone will have such a robot butler in their home, which is simply amazing.

In addition to curiosity, Hassabis seemed to have some regret, and he asked Xia Ming why he always looked at artificial intelligence from the perspective of personal use.

"Artificial intelligence is still developing, and I think we should put aside the preset application scenarios and see how far we can make artificial intelligence. In the second half of the year, our Sigma will compete in professional esports competitions. My faith is quite strong. Outside of the gaming realm, we're still experimenting with drawing and even composing. In short, I hope to continuously improve the thinking scope of application of artificial intelligence from different directions......"

Xia Ming's answer made the atmosphere begin to change, and he said, "I admire your pure scientific spirit. I used to think so, too. But now I think that AI involves ethical dilemmas, and in this direction, we have to think and set things up in advance. ”

Hassabis was a little surprised: "Ethical dilemma? Are you also worried that artificial intelligence will develop into something like Skynet and eventually destroy humanity? ”

Xia Ming said with a smile: "Mr. Hassabis, we are all scientists, and we all know that artificial intelligence and autonomous consciousness are two different things. What is really scary is that in the future, when artificial intelligence takes on too much work, there will be major disasters due to defects in algorithms and programs, viruses and human sabotage, etc. However, just as human civilization is now based on electricity, although power outages mean social chaos, it is also a risk that civilization progress has to take. ”

"And what are the ethical dilemmas you're worried about?" Hassabis asked.

Xia Ming's answer surprised the three bigwigs, and I believe that all the listeners.

"I'm worried about the relationship between artificial intelligence and autonomous consciousness, and I think that if we can't correctly understand artificial intelligence and give it a correct development direction, artificial intelligence will eliminate human autonomous consciousness in the future."

Hassabis was visibly surprised, too, and eagerly asked why he said that.

Xia Ming continued: "The danger of AI is not in the technology itself, but in how humans treat it and use it. ”

He made a very astonishing prediction: "I don't know if you agree with the judgment that in the future, artificial intelligence will be the means of production." ”

"You use the terminology of the Marne sociological system, which makes it difficult for me to judge," says Hassabis: "If you replace the means of production with the core element that affects the wealth of society, I agree with this judgment." ”

"Together, I believe most people can understand", Xia Ming did not emphasize that his statement is correct: "When artificial intelligence further masters the ability to learn, understands natural language, and has the level of human intelligence in both perception and thinking, it will not only replace general manual labor, but also replace more service and management work." ”

"Yes, robots with low-level AI will replace blue-collar workers, and higher-level AI will replace not only doctors who diagnose clinically, police officers who manage traffic, drivers of logistics networks and taxis, but also health consultants, tutors, and even teachers in the lower grades," Hasabis said. ”

Xia Ming corrected: "It's not just a job problem......

Hassabis agrees: "Yes, AI can do things that humans couldn't do before, such as predicting weather and natural disasters more accurately, grasping and judging the health and economic conditions of society more accurately, and it can also help us conduct scientific research with greater efficiency." ”

Xia Ming continued: "Artificial intelligence will not only help human beings conquer nature, it will also more accurately judge the market demand of various commodities, including culture, will more accurately grasp the trend of the securities market, will more accurately grasp the trade situation, and then ......."

His tone strengthened a bit: "On the basis of understanding and mastering, artificial intelligence will gradually evolve from the model of analyzing the existing situation and then making decisions, to the model of guiding demand, creating demand, and realizing predetermined intentions. ”

Hassabis was silent for a moment, and said in a tone of less certainty: "I think it might be so, I mean, it's a natural trend in theory. ”

The two big names in the field of artificial intelligence have said so, and I believe that countless media will take such headlines: "Mankind will enter the era of artificial intelligence from the information age", "The next stage of socialism and capitalism is artificial intelligence", "The artificial intelligence revolution is a new stage of the human revolution".

Xia Ming's question was very sharp: "So do you think that under this trend, artificial intelligence is to promote human beings to be more equal?" Or is it pushing humanity to become more unequal? ”

Without waiting for Hassabis to answer, Xia Ming continued: "Because of the efforts of scientists like you, Mr. Hassabis, everyone will enjoy the convenience brought by artificial intelligence. For example, we don't have to do dangerous work ourselves, we don't have to do repetitive work, we have more opportunities to turn hobbies into jobs. With the assistance of artificial intelligence, social distribution should be more reasonable than it is now, in short, artificial intelligence will definitely make human society better, but ......"

"But it still needs to be driven by people, doesn't it?"

"When artificial intelligence develops to a fairly mature era, who will control the most powerful artificial intelligence? Such organizations as the state and commercial capital, of course. These AIs are so powerful that they can envelop every aspect of a person, even deep into the heart. If, through such artificial intelligence, they promote purposeful changes in society that are beneficial to their interests, Mr. Hassabis, don't you feel afraid? ”

"At that time, the balance of power between individuals and organizations, the balance of power between individuals, because of the difference in artificial intelligence mastered, how much will change, have you imagined?"

Xia Ming's tone was quite solemn: "I imagined ......" (to be continued.) )
