"Last year I told everyone that I would definitely come back, and I also told my friends that I would come back in a mine-protected armored vehicle. It was just a joke at the time, but the promise of a man is well understood......"

Xia Ming's opening remarks brought a lot of laughter at the scene, and the live video was instantly drowned out by the barrage of "2333", "666" and "I give 11 points for this forced pretend".

"Before I get down to business, I'll make a statement. Later in the Q&A, I couldn't say a word about what happened to me in the United States. After all, I signed a non-disclosure agreement with the White House and the FBI, and they paid my boss a sum of money, and I had to keep my promise. ”

Xia Ming's next sentence made the laughter louder, didn't he already say it?

Next, Xia Ming turned back to the topic, today's press conference was held in the name of IEI. IEI does not directly make consumer-facing products, but licenses the EI technology to other manufacturers. So most people think that Xia Ming just brought what was released in the United States to Huaxia and said it again.

Therefore, when the three capital letters "PEI" appeared on the big screen behind Xia Ming, the scene was silent for two seconds, and then burst into tidal applause.

It's something new, and it's going to release a personal exclusive EI!

On the screen, the word "PEI" is shrunk and embedded in a matrix, which is IEI's overall architecture in terms of EI.

The matrix represents the entire artificial intelligence, the gray and black piece on the left is NEI (Non-EI), and the right is EI, which is the latest division of AI in the academic circle after Xia Ming proposed the concept of EI.

NEI is an AI that is all uncertain belonging, uncertain consciousness, and treats it as a potential alternative life form, and this direction will only be approached by cutting-edge scientists. EI is the application field, and it is a collective term for all existing AI.

IJCAI not only agreed with Xia Ming's classification, but also prepared a manifesto. We call on all scholars, business organizations, governments and international organizations to support this division and ensure that the research, application and management of EI are on the correct and orderly path based on the three laws of EI proposed by Xia Ming.

On the EI side, Xia Ming is divided into four categories, namely PEI, GEI, BEI and SEI.

PEI is Personal Extended Intelligence, GEI is Public Extended Intelligence, and BEI is Business Extended Intelligence, these three classifications were available at the Silicon Valley press conference, and today there is an additional SEI.

Xia Ming said. This is divided into four categories based on the attribution of the "Will Map" (VM). The first three are easy to understand, PEI is a mapping of the will of individuals, GEI is a mapping of the will of the government or other public organizations, and BEI is a mapping of the will of commercial organizations.

SEI is a special category that includes other EIs that are difficult to classify. For example, the will mapping research that IEI is doing requires a virtual preset will, which has no real mapping subject, but only a research object.

In addition, there is EI used by the military or secret services, although it is not controlled how the military and intelligence agencies of various countries will use EI. However, in order to prevent technical accidents that endanger personal and public safety, and even EI becomes NEI to engage in intelligent warfare, IJCAI and Xia Ming have also proposed some technical security measures in this regard. It can be used as a reference for the military and intelligence agencies, or other secret organizations, to use EI safely.

These four categories are divided into horizontal axes, and the vertical axis has two categories, MI and AEI, which form a matrix with these four categories.

MI stands for Machine Intelligence. All AIs that do not carry the will mapping fall into this category, which is also talked about in the United States.

The AEI above the MI is something new, and the full name is Attached-EI. It is a special type of EI. Because of the network environment and hardware architecture. EI needs to have a "doppelganger", and the doppelganger has a certain degree of independence, and this kind of doppelganger extending from the EI body is classified as AEI.

"As for AEI, more on that later."

Everyone still didn't quite understand this, Xia Ming pushed this topic to the back, and then talked about more core things.

"There must be a lot of confusion about what 'will mapping' looks like and how to ensure that our will can be completely and accurately mapped to EI, so here I will talk about the will structure of EI first......

PPT page change, but it is a grim white-bearded old man, although the vast majority of people do not know this person, but when you see the entry of "id, ego, superego" in the explanatory text below, you will understand that this is Freud.

Xia Ming said: "First of all, I don't fully agree with Freud's personality structure theory, but I think this theory is more suitable for the will mapping of EI. It not only ensures the consistency of will between people and EI, but also facilitates the compatibility of EI and human society. ”

The follow-up explanation involves Freud's psychoanalytic theory and quantum programming language, which is a bit boring, but whether it is the scene or the live broadcast audience, they all listen to it with relish, which is a combination of two disciplines that are not compatible at all.

Xia Ming also divides the will of EI into three layers: "id", "ego" and "superego", which correspond to Freud's spiritual personality.

In Freud's hierarchy of spiritual personality, the "self" of man is equivalent to the primitive needs of the flesh and body, including the two directions of survival and racial continuity, eating, drinking, safety and sexuality, all at this level.

The "self" of EI is self-awareness, which is commonly referred to as EI's sensing, checking, and controlling the software and hardware that make up "itself". This is not only the basis for ensuring the integrity of EI, but also the premise for EI to have the will.

Based on this, EI has a clear distinction from MI, and has stepped into the category of strong artificial intelligence.

The "self" layer, on the human side, is the adaptation of people's physical needs to reality, ensuring that people limit and adjust their "self" in reality.

The "self" of EI includes the perception of belonging and the cognition of the environment.

Belonging cognition is a fixed correspondence with the individuals and organizations to which EI belongs, and in terms of individuals, an identification library is formed through means such as passwords, fingerprints, faces, pupils, voiceprints, and even real-time vision. On the organizational side, there is a more complex database of organization members, processes, and permissions to form the identification database to ensure that the instructions received by the EI come from the correct principal.

Environmental cognition is EI's cognition of the various applications it faces, in addition to its core will.

The core will of EI currently only exists on a single Terminator neuron chip, but in addition to the core will, this chip will also have many third-party applications, such as various applications of existing computers. These applications need to be managed by EI. The various documents and data that are not related to the core will are also the environment that EI is facing.

At the same time, the environment is constantly changing, for example, when users use more neuronal chips to carry MI and AEI, the compatibility and management of these extensions also need to be adjusted by EI.

The will mapping mentioned by Xia Ming focuses on the level of "superego".

The "superego" of man is, in a sense, close to the self-consciousness mentioned in the dialogue between Xia Ming and Hassabis. That is, on the basis of understanding oneself and reality, one's expectations for oneself and the change of oneself. As for Freud's emphasis on "morality" and "conscience" at the level of the "superego". You don't have to dig deeper.

At this level, EI will construct a model of the subject's will through various identification methods, as well as the analysis and interpretation of the subject's choices in specific applications, as well as a fixed training program, and use it as a decision-making model in the face of fuzzy choices and uncertainties.

"Everyone knows that in the age of the internet, search engines and shopping sites know your preferences through MI. This process of understanding is very mechanical, and the result is often speechless, but it is also a contact with the will of the individual. ”

"In the era of EI, the way of will mapping has become comprehensive and three-dimensional. And it's growth. Let's assume that everyone's will is a circle, and with initial tuning, EI will build a simple model to simulate your will, just like simulating a circle with a quadrilateral. Then every decision you make, every judgment, is a trimming. Let the quadrilateral expand into more sides, and keep getting closer to the circle. ”

"At the same time, EI will make choices on your behalf on certain occasions based on this approximate volitional model, and then modify and adjust it according to your feedback, so that the model is constantly approaching your true will."

After Xia Ming gave a general explanation of the will mapping of EI, on the PPT, the entire AI matrix disappeared, and the word PEI returned to its original size.

At this time, most people already have an understanding of the personal EI, after all, the explanation just now basically revolves around PEI.

There is another date below PEI: November 11, 2019, which should be the official launch time.

This time is a little familiar.

"Originally, we planned to launch PEI early next year, but the arrival of Mr. Hassabis has brought us much ahead of schedule, and the details about PEI, for example, what exactly will it be like......"

When Xia Ming said it, he was thinking about what he said when he stood here in November last year.

The PPT is changed to the next one, with two familiar logos on the left and a new logo on the right.

The familiar logo is Prometheus mobile version and Prometheus computer version, the new logo is on the left is "attached to the brain" two small characters, on the right is the three English letters PEI, in the middle is "tinder" two big artistic Chinese characters, followed by the version number of 1.1.

"We have given the individual extended intelligence, that is, PEI, a more popular Chinese name called appendage. IEI licensed PEI's technology to Cicada Motion, and the first generation of Cicada Motion launched the appendage brain, named 'Tinder'. The official version of Tinder was supposed to be 1.0, but after Mr. Hassabis and DeepMind joined, some new features were added, so the version number became 1.1......"

Xia Ming's supplementary explanation at this time was not many people listening, and everyone was immersed in the shock caused by the name "Prometheus".

Seeing that everyone in the audience was stunned, Xia Ming smiled and said, "Isn't this a matter of course? I'm back, Prometheus is back, and what Prometheus didn't finish will be done by Tinder. ”

He raised his gaze, as if looking at some person who was not there: "From this day forward, the Tinder will inherit the ideas of Prometheus and ......"

He raised his voice to make it sound particularly harsh to some: "From this day on, no more stopping!" ”

In the golf club, the boss of a mobile phone giant, the corner of Mr. Liang's mouth twitched, and his hand trembled, as if he was restraining himself from throwing the phone away.

He snorted indignantly: "Arrogant! ”

Boss Meng of Eatnar.com avoided talking to someone on the phone, and faintly heard him say: "All the high-level leaders have a meeting in the afternoon, what do you say!?" Didn't you watch Xia Ming's press conference? How do you always behave!? Do you have strings or cotton threads in your head!? ”

Li Zhi's face was gloomy, but his eyes were still on the screen of his mobile phone.

At the Chrysanthemum headquarters, the large conference room was crowded with people, and a female senior executive looked at her colleague with a solemn face and asked puzzledly: "Isn't PEI a thing on a PC?" This tinder should just be an upgrade of the PC version of Prometheus, what does it have to do with mobile phones? ”

In Zhuhai New District, the headquarters of wheat mobile phones, the conference room was also crowded with people.

Rebus crossed his arms and watched silently at the image on the projection screen. Dozens of high-level people did not speak, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely depressing.

Wang Yuan, who was promoted to president, that is, Mr. Wang, who had sent Fang Wending to talk to Xia Ming about the acquisition, sighed faintly: "I thought that Xia Ming would give us a little time to ......" (to be continued.) )

PS: There is one more shift in the afternoon.
