"Danny, what are you thinking at the moment? Will you regret that conversation? ”
In the living room of an apartment somewhere in Silicon Valley, Musk, who was watching IJCAI live, asked Hassabis.
Musk said with a complicated expression: "Look, from today onwards, whoever talks about AI will ask 'Do you mean EI, or do you mean the kind of AI that is equal to people, and we don't know what to think of them?'" Xia just changed one letter and ruled the right to speak in this field. ”
"What I regret is that maybe I should have seriously discussed the DeepMind acquisition with him at that time......"
Hassabis said with a wry smile: "I believe that many of his current insights, including neuronal chips and artificial intelligence programming systems, were inspired by conversations with me, and the concept of EI was also the focus of the second half of our conversations." ”
"I could never have imagined that he was serious! All his efforts were to prevent the worst he had envisioned, and he ......"
Hassabis sighed: "He is the real scientist, a scientist of faith. ”
"Maybe, but there's a problem here," Musk said, "and the most critical question, how to ensure that the EI mentioned by Xia is an expansion of human intelligence?" ”
Just as he was saying this, on the screen, Xia Ming didn't care if the concept of "EI" was immediately recognized, and continued to throw out questions: "Everyone will ask, how to ensure that EI is an extension of human will?" If this problem is not solved, isn't EI still the same as before? ”
"Xia is not an orator", Hassabis smiled, and Musk touched his nose in embarrassment. But this embarrassment also dissipated immediately, and like Hassabis, he was also engrossed in waiting for Xia Ming's next words.
"We can't solve this problem completely, but we can technically get infinitely closer to the answer and limit the bias to our human set. That is, EI can only always approach human will, but not fully equal to human will. Meantime. Nor is it possible for EI to jump out of, or out-of-the-box. ”
"Based on this, we came up with the concept of 'Will Mapping' (VM)."
"As long as we technically ensure that the will of EI comes from human beings completely and purely, let EI become a reflection of human will, and let this direction drive the intelligent research of EI, EI will always be EI!"
The scene was even quieter, not cold, but thinking.
Musk bit his lip and muttered, "I feel a ......"
Hassabis bit his fingernails. This is his quirk: "The law! Laws are needed! ”
"To this end, we have proposed a set of rules that we hope will use to regulate the research and application of EI. The set of rules is still very crude, but I think that every omission and deletion of these rules will shake the very foundation of our transformation of AI into EI, and thus obscure the ultimate purpose of technology for the benefit of humanity. ”
Xia Ming paused, swept his eyes around the venue, and then said: "This is the three laws of EI!" ”
"First. All EIs must have a clear mapping subject, and hiding the relationship between the two must have ulterior motives. ”
"Second. The integrity and privacy of EI are inviolable, and no illegal snooping, vandalism or modification is allowed. ”
"Third, the mapping relationship between EI and the subject does not allow any illegal destruction, blinding, and distortion."
After Xia Ming's three laws of EI were thrown out, the scene continued to be silent, and most people were pondering.
"Personal EI. There is also the EI of the organization, Xia is very thoughtful", Hasabis nodded.
Musk rubbed his fingers: "I can't wait to have a company meeting, mapping!" Natsu pointed out AI, okay. The new direction of EI is to instill the will of man into the machine! Whether it is the will of the individual or the will of the organization, it must be tightly tied together, which is to overthrow the existing business model and a business revolution! Whoever runs in front of the team wins! ”
Then he frowned: "But on the EI side of the organization, the commercial use is okay, and the mapping subject of the public purpose is the government, how should the government adjust it?" ”
"This is not just a commercial revolution, but also a social revolution," Hassabis shrugged: "The headache is the governments, and after the academic community's understanding of AI is unified into EI, it becomes a social consensus, and the meaning of the three laws of EI is equivalent to Asimov's three laws of robotics becoming a reality." This is the progress of human civilization, and if the government is clear-headed, it must obey such a consensus. ”
The morning in San Francisco is late at night in Yandu, but the lecture halls, auditoriums, and theaters of many universities are still bright, and teachers and students are crowded, all watching IJCAI's live broadcast.
In the auditorium of Yandu University of Technology, an old professor who has been immersed in computers for decades and is now engaged in artificial intelligence research took off his glasses and said with relief: "The ethical problem of artificial intelligence has finally been solved." ”
The pony-tailed girl next to her who was full of youth asked, "Professor Luo, I still don't quite understand, what is the meaning of this three laws of EI?" ”
The surrounding students also asked questions, Professor Luo wiped his glasses and said with a smile: "You guys, when you learn things, you should also think about the relationship between the knowledge and technology you have learned and us human beings." ”
"Our fear of artificial intelligence is completely different from the fear of nuclear weapons or other biological and energy technologies, because the development of artificial intelligence will inevitably knock on the door of human self-consciousness."
"Xiao Xia and Hassabis do not agree that artificial intelligence will produce autonomous consciousness, which is based on the judgment made by the existing technology, what if we take the route of biocomputers in the future and develop strong artificial intelligence? Therefore, the threat of artificial intelligence to humanity cannot be completely denied. ”
"Coupled with Xiao Xia's worries, that is, artificial intelligence has made human society more unequal, in short, there is no clear answer to the question of how human beings should view artificial intelligence."
"Artificial intelligence is just a tool, but it has the element of autonomous consciousness in the mechanism, and it may become an independent individual in the future. So what about treating them equally? Those who are not of our race will have different hearts, let alone a new life that knows and understands that the world is completely different from ours. ”
"Xiao Xia's three laws of EI answer this question at the ethical level, and you don't have to investigate the specific technical details. Roughly speaking, just like us people, we didn't come into this world for no reason, we have parents, and we have our own meaning in life. So what about EI, the three laws say that EI must also have clear, ethical parents, and the meaning of its existence is to grow together with its mapping subject and face the world together. ”
"The three laws of EI determine the status of artificial intelligence in human society, and EI is a subsidiary of people. Even if it has autonomous consciousness, it is still contained in the system of human society. ”
"Human affiliation?" The girl's eyes rolled, "Sounds like a cat or a dog or something." ”
"It may be in status, but the meaning is completely different," said Professor Luo.
Another male student disagreed: "Isn't the point of the three laws EI as an extension of the human will?" It is not self-conscious. If I have EI, it's completely my extension.,I think whatever I want.,About the part of artificial intelligence with autonomous consciousness.,Isn't it outside the scope of Xiao Xia's discussion? ”
A young teacher said, "First, EI must have a master; second, EI is not illegally infringed; Third, the affiliation between the EI and the owner is not unlawfully violated. ”
He smiled: "You see, Xiao Xia's three laws have actually covered artificial intelligence with autonomous consciousness. ”
Professor Luo nodded: "Yes, after all, he is giving a speech at IJCAI, and strong artificial intelligence with autonomous consciousness is still too ethereal, and it is not a field that should be explored by rigorous academics, so he focuses on weak artificial intelligence." ”
Professor Luo sighed: "You are very happy to be born in this era, the technology is mature, the ethical issues have been solved, and the arrival of the era of artificial intelligence has become unstoppable. ”
The young teacher said: "Professor, you are not old, we still have to count on you to lead the way, the hardware and software are available, we can solve several problems this year!" ”
"My old man, Xiao Xia, and that Lin Cheng are only in their twenties, and I still have to follow them, but ...... I hope to go for a few more years", Professor Luo put on his glasses, and even the lenses could not stop the excitement and hope of the brilliance.
At the foot of Xiangshan, in the newly erected building, there is also a building that looks like a movie theater and is still brightly lit.
Thousands of people packed the hall, men, women and children in the institute, from scientists to cleaners, all arrived, applause had already sounded several rounds, and Xiao Huan's palms were red.
"Actually, I didn't understand much", Li Diluo scratched his head, still confused.
"What if AI harms people? How is this counted? He asked Wu Sihao next to him.
"You're stupid!" Xiao Huan raised the fan and knocked on Li Diluo's head with a snap.
"Whew...... Why are you hitting me!? Li Diluo cried out in pain: "You are quite accurate!" ”
Xiao Huan threw the fan to Li Diluo: "It hit you, not me." ”
Li Diluo fished the fan, and wanted to say that grandma and grandma are cute enough, don't pretend to be cute of a six-year-old child, but suddenly his brain was excited.
"Got it", Wu Sihao acted as a commentator: "What is the first of the three laws? EI must belong to one person, and the responsibility for what it does lies with that person! ”
"Understood", Li Diluo pointed to the fan and played treasure: "I want to accuse your master Xiao Huan of deliberately hurting and causing my IQ to drop by 5 points!" ”
Xiao Huan giggled: "I'm Ah Ming's EI, you go to Ah Ming to claim compensation!" ”
As he was talking, on the screen, the venue finally burst into applause, and he stood up and applauded warmly, Xiao Huan also got up and applauded, which drove the entire theater to stand up, and the screen and the applause of the theater seemed to penetrate the space and mix together.
