Chapter 103: Early Thoughts
On the day that the conversation between Xia Ming and Hassabis was leaked, scientists and celebrities in the global information industry immediately expressed their thoughts and opinions on the conversation.
Needless to say, Hasabis's professional popularity is enough, Xia Ming's social popularity is also enough, in the professional field, Clover, Alfalfa Engine and "Phantom Galaxy", as well as the world's first general-purpose neuron chip that will be launched in June, which has given him enough technical status, and this young Chinese man is a cow who completed the world's first power armor actual combat half a month ago.
These two people talk about artificial intelligence, or meet frankly in private, and whoever can get involved in the issues they talk about can increase their influence. Of course, for those who are already in a high position, it is a good time to emphasize their opinions.
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and Open-AI, reacted the fastest, after all, it was he who introduced Hassabis to Larry Page, thus bringing DeepMind under Google's ownership.
Musk especially appreciated the "artificial intelligence threat theory" mentioned by Xia Ming, and he emphasized that the goal of Open-AI is also to serve individuals, so that artificial intelligence can help individuals progress in the future, rather than create threats to individuals. He once again mentioned that the open-source action of AI software engines being promoted by companies and institutions engaged in AI research such as Open-AI and Google is the source of the future elimination of the "data zombie" crisis mentioned by Xia Ming.
Sam Altman, president of Combinator, a Silicon Valley startup incubator and one of the founders of Open-AI, also followed Musk's statement on Twitter, focusing on the threat of artificial intelligence to human safety that has been emphasized before, coupled with the threat of autonomous consciousness mentioned by Xia Ming, he believes that the industry can no longer ignore such dangers and should take action in advance. Forward-looking rules in the field of artificial intelligence.
Altman shared his Twitter on Facebook, much to the upset of Facebook's owner, Mark Zuckerberg.
A few years ago, Zuckerberg, Ultraman, Musk and others had a hard fight on whether artificial intelligence is a threat to humans, and they slapped each other in the face on different occasions.
Previously, Zuckerberg was quite optimistic, believing in artificial intelligence. In particular, strong artificial intelligence is "forever 50 years" away from mankind, and all the remarks about the threat of artificial intelligence are groundless.
But this time, instead of refuting Xia Ming's views, he admitted that the progress of artificial intelligence in some aspects will indeed amplify the power of business.
Zuckerberg emphasized that Facebook, as an online social platform, is also researching artificial intelligence to help people communicate more conveniently, and never did. In the future, we will never engage in any research that will allow the commercialization of artificial intelligence and deprive humans of their sense of autonomy.
Zuckerberg's statement can be seen at a glance as a politically correct message to consumers that "I'm a good person", which has triggered various Internet companies to follow suit, and they have all stated that they will never study such artificial intelligence.
Blizzard also came to join in the fun, as it was named in the conversation.
Blizzard issued a statement on Battle.net and its official website, first jokingly saying, "Because of Xia Ming and Mr. Hassabis's criticism of Blizzard's games to expand the free model, we will study specific measures on how to make the free model fairer." We're sure it must be very Coool......"
Blizzard has then intervened in the topic of AI threat theory, saying that Blizzard will start research on how to detect whether it is a human or an artificial intelligence playing a game. Because "in the dialogue between Xia Ming and Hassabis, we see such a real threat. ”
The other was named, whose attitude contrasted sharply with Blizzard's humor.
Half a day later, Apple released a statement on its official website, coldly announcing that iOS's "paid ranking" strategy was a measure of last resort in response to the prevalence of brushing in some countries. It's not exactly business-driven, and it will be adjusted according to what's going on.
On the topic of artificial intelligence, Apple is very cheesy to advertise in the wind, claiming that Apple's Sirl will be the consciousness barrier of Apple users, it is very intelligent, very loyal and very reliable. Of course, it will have to wait for Apple to have more research results on artificial intelligence before it will be smarter, more loyal, and more reliable......
One by one, the bigwigs and giants jumped out to speak, and the major media around the world also fell into a state of excitement, which is really a good topic! This is really a carnival of public opinion!
Because this topic is too professional and politically inclined, the major media do not dare to comment on it casually, but flock out to catch experts related to this topic to talk about.
"Although my eyes are still on Alpha Centauri, I also want to take a stand on this issue, and I don't want to let the pace of technology stop because of fear."
"But please look at me from the perspective of an AI user, I'm just a physicist, not a sociologist or a philosopher, and the latest version of the ACAT (Intel Interactive Systems Toolkit) that I use is an AI."
"I think it's a reflection from 50 years ago, but it's also an eternal reflection......"
"It's like we've been asking who humanity really is in the universe that contains everything. If humans don't ask questions, it's the death of human beings, so I'm now scared of artificial intelligence. ”
"I think we were a little too optimistic about our trust in AI in the past, and from now on, we should treat AI as a technology like nuclear energy, not let it become a weapon, and make sure that it is only used for the benefit of humanity."
"Will artificial intelligence that will allow me to communicate with people without any barriers in my lifetime? I really hope this is not an extravagant hope. ”
Later, Stephen William Hawking's Twitter and Weibo were also updated.
On the outskirts of Langley, Virginia, the night has fallen, and the headquarters of the CIA, which is composed of two buildings with an overall layout similar to "embarrassment", is still brightly lit.
The head of the Intelligence Division summoned the head of the Asian region to the office and gave an order that stunned the director: "The management office is ready to monitor the two companies of Illusion and Cicada Movement, and that Matthew Lawrence, you pass on the information sent by the Asian branch to the management office." ”
The director asked, "Has anything changed?" ”
The director looked at the supervisor and was a little dissatisfied: "Change? You haven't heard that conversation yet? ”
Seeing that the director shook his head, the director also shook his head: "When you get this done, then go to the turtle or some other video website to search for Hasabis to talk to Xia, and listen to it yourself." ”
"The change is in the conversation, Xia explained his thoughts on artificial intelligence to Hassabis, because it was a private conversation, it can be determined that it is not propaganda, but his sincere thoughts."
"He's an anarchist! If he were an American, we could still see him as a gang with the Red Necks in Texas, and we could turn a blind eye, but he was a foreigner! ”
"Such people are born to be our enemies! If the DNI were to ask us in the CIA, why didn't we spy on such dangerous elements, were there people in the CIA who sympathized with or even supported anarchism? How do we answer? ”
"Don't forget our three major enemies: anarchists, fundamentalists, and moralists. ”
The director resignedly, returned to his office, searched for the conversation, listened to it, was silent for a long time, and muttered in a low voice: "This is the anarchist? I think it should be written into the constitutional amendment to ......"
In the northwest of Yandu, at the foot of Xiangshan, in the laboratory transformed from a half-huge chimney, Xiaotang sighed: "Who leaked this?" You didn't even notice if there was a bug at the time? ”
Xia Ming sat on the swivel chair, slowly turned in a circle, and said while writing code with assistive intelligence: "I noticed it, but I thought it was Google's arrangement, and my attention was all on Hasabis at that time, and I didn't pay much attention to it." ”
Xiaotang threw him a white fruit look: "As a result, you just said hi, right?" ”
"Yes, a lot of the ideas are still inspired by Hassabis, and they are the result of on-the-spot thinking, and I was really a little excited, and I didn't pay attention to it."
Xia Ming didn't care too much, if it was leaked, it would be leaked, anyway, what he said was from the standpoint of a scientist and deduced the development of human society, and there were many such remarks.
Xiaotang didn't think so: "You are declaring war on large companies all over the world, and even countries, at the same time." If it's something a little more ethereal, such as some human immortality, consciousness uploaded, everyone just listens to it, but you're talking about artificial intelligence on the eve of the outbreak! ”
Her face was not very good-looking: "Do you believe that a few big hooligans, as well as countless business tycoons, have pulled you into the list of dangerous elements?" ”
Xia Ming continued to carry it with her: "Say it, do it, will the country sentence me to a thought crime because of my words?" Could it be that the military will terminate cooperation with me because of these words? ”
Xiaotang shook his head: "Of course not, after all, our Huaxia position on this topic is still contradictory, but the United States is different, I advise you to think about it again in June." ”
"There are some risks, but Yang Yuanchang's gang must be solved as soon as possible, it is worth taking a little risk, and it is ......"
Xia Ming stopped turning, shook his head, and looked at Qianyan in the middle of the laboratory: "At that time, we will have the strength to do it." ”
Xiaotang thought about it and felt that even his attitude was soft, and he must not be able to convince Xia Ming.
She said helplessly: "Then thank you for helping you strengthen your determination." ”
She also looked at Qianyan, and longing rose in her eyes: "You're right, by then, our strength will be different." ”
Seeing that Xiaotang also figured it out, Xia Ming closed his eyes and began to communicate with Qianyan.
It doesn't matter what people know what they think, what matters is whether they have the power to turn their ideas into reality, and what he has to do now is to gain such power.
There was a girl with only a vague outline in the consciousness space, and Xia Ming's thoughts turned into countless codes, bringing the consciousness plane of the space to change colorfully, and finally condensed into one sentence: "Hello, I'm Xia Ming." ”
The girl responded jerkyly: "Hello, I'm ...... I'm ......."
Xia Ming's thoughts revolved around the girl, like coloring, making her form emerge as real little by little.
"You are a thousand faces, an artificial intelligence created by humans, and you will obey the ...... of the three laws" (To be continued. )
