Although his self-esteem has been hurt by tons, but after entering the research institute, even if the carp jumps the dragon gate, Xia Ming feels that today is also his lucky day, of course, he has to add a premise: the secret of R3AI will not be discovered.

Xia Ming became a curious baby again, and continued to inquire about intelligence: "What kind of artificial intelligence is we researching?" ”

It seemed like a very simple question, but Lin Cheng was tested, and scratched his head for a while before saying: "This question is very complicated, and it will be unclear for a while." ”

"Just say a rough idea, you say I work", Xia Ming put on an attitude of humility to learn.

"I can't ask for it......" Lin Cheng was very happy: "Then I'll pick something you can understand and talk about it, starting with what artificial intelligence is." ”

That's a big topic.

"When talking about artificial intelligence, first of all, you have to throw away the things that newspapers, magazines and the Internet say, which are all concepts created by capitalists to make money, and rarely have anything to do with real academics."

"For example, Internet companies are now hyping big data, saying that big data is artificial intelligence. This song, that degree, all say that their search is artificial intelligence, and they also get some chat software and say that it is artificial intelligence, this is deception! IBM's Deep Blue, which can beat the chess champion, and Google's AlphaGo, which can beat the Go champion, are they artificial intelligence? Neither is it! ”

As he spoke, Lin Cheng's emotions became excited.

"Sorry to digress...... There is no strict academic definition of artificial intelligence, only a general classification. Some people divide artificial intelligence into two categories: weak artificial intelligence and strong artificial intelligence, although they are also confusing the concept, but they can be used for reference. ”

"What other people have come up with now, and what they are still doing, is just weak artificial intelligence. We believe that weak artificial intelligence is nothing but computer intelligence, and strong artificial intelligence is the real artificial intelligence. ”

Hearing this, Xia Ming only understood one thing, the research here is at the forefront of the world, in other words, it is a deviation from the scriptures, no wonder it can create something as good as R3AI.

So what is the difference between computer intelligence and real artificial intelligence?

Lin Cheng asked, "Do you know the NP problem?" ”

Xia Ming shook his head: "I know the NPC......"

Lin Cheng was surprised: "NPC is a development of the NP problem, how can you say that you don't know?" ”

Xia Ming sighed: "I really don't know, but I know that the NPC I'm talking about is not the same thing as you." ”

Lin Cheng regretted: "If you don't understand such a basic thing, it's not easy to explain it to you from an academic point of view." ”

Xia Ming was reluctant to give up: "Then let's talk about it from the perspective of civil science." ”

Lin Cheng's cheeks twitched a few times, but he continued to explain: "Computer intelligence can think logically and make rational judgments like people, and it can also learn in practice. However, the premise is that the logic is set by people, the judgment is based on the mathematical model given to it, and learning is only to expand the information base that people input to it. ”

"True artificial intelligence can build its own logic, find information and methods on its own, research and solve problems on its own, and improve and evolve itself, just like humans......"

Xia Ming tried to keep up with his thinking: "For example, Iron Man's Jarvis, or Cui Xing's Chamber?" ”

Lin Cheng looked at Xia Ming and spread his hands helplessly: "Science fiction and scientific research are two different things, I'll just say it, it's not something that can be explained in a few words." When Professor Xu is empty, he will give you interns a detailed explanation. ”

Actually, I still understand something......

Xia Ming was a little unwilling, but after thinking about it carefully, well, I really didn't understand anything, such as the R3AI in my head, is it computer intelligence, or real artificial intelligence?

"The level of the thinking structure of the host brain is too low to understand the relevant concepts, whether it is ......"

R3AI wasted no time in starting another wave of temptation, and then was reflexively rejected by Xia Ming, so it was better to go to the Internet to find information and research by yourself.

Lin Cheng threw out the mess, shrank into the corner and crackled and typed the code, while Xia Ming continued to work.

Although R3AI is there, he can find all the broken parts by walking around the passage, but this unscientific performance is too dangerous, and the genius girl Tang "Uncle Shi" is already a little suspicious, and he doesn't dare to continue to die. So he slowed down, and by the time Lin Cheng beckoned him to lunch, he had finished processing the computers in that row.

Xia Ming took out his mobile phone to look at the time, and Didi's lack of power prompt sounded. He asked Lin Cheng to borrow a mobile power supply, Lin Cheng asked for a QQ number, and a program was sent after adding a friend.

"If you save electricity, save at least 30 percent, and you can cope with lunch no problem."

Although this Amway hair was a bit direct and rude, Xia Ming felt that Lin Cheng's recommendation from a master could still be tried, and he asked while installing it: "Save thirty percent?" I've never heard of such a powerful power-saving program before, who did it? ”

Lin Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said disapprerovingly, "I." ”

A cow is a cow, maybe you can knock out Windows on the piano......

The canteen of the research institute was on the first floor, and when he followed Lin Cheng over, Xia Ming was still a little excited, and he should be able to see more cattle people.

When Xia Ming's legs entered the door, his legs were a little soft, and the aunt who was holding the rice spoon and staring at him was not a cow? When did you turn to a chef?

Fat...... No, the big mom grinded her teeth and said, "You ran very fast yesterday, and my aunt chased half of the campus, for fear that something would happen to you, why don't you run again today, what kind of food will you eat?" ”

It seems that this aunt is not only a doorman, but also the logistics director of the entire research institute, Xia Ming didn't dare to slack off anymore, and said with a smile: "Don't you want to beg for food at Auntie's place now, how dare you run." ”

"Hey, I learned to speak human words, but I have to tell Professor Xu, Professor Xu is the boss, understand?" Da Da Ma still trained people with a straight face, but the spoonful of food stuffed Xia Ming's plate to the brim.

Xia Ming responded yes, took the dinner plate, and followed Lin Cheng to find a table and sit down.

The plate was put down, but Xia Ming couldn't sit down, and Professor Xu was on the other side.

"Sit down, the young man is good, I heard that Tangtang lost to you once, and you have a future."

Professor Xu beckoned Xia Ming to sit down, still as casual as yesterday.

Lin Cheng echoed: "Xia Ming is very powerful, the computer room can be thrown to him alone!" ”

Professor Xu was surprised, Xia Ming began to sweat, if he showed his feet in front of Professor Xu, it would not be a joke.

He hurriedly pretended to be a large clove of garlic: "What is it to install a computer, elementary school students can do it, and anything in the institute is more technical than this." Senior Brother Lin explained artificial intelligence to me just now, and I didn't understand it after listening to it for a long time, I have too much to learn! ”

"It's true that what artificial intelligence we are studying is not something that can be understood thoroughly in a few words, and there are many things to learn, but what about it...... What is the significance of our research on artificial intelligence, this is easy to explain. ”

Professor Xu is worthy of being a professor, never forgetting to teach his juniors, and also raising Xia Ming's curiosity.

"Now everyone is studying artificial intelligence, there are roughly four directions, one is to come up with an expert system, that is, you ask a question, it gives the answer, and the Internet is engaged in this. The other is an industrial robot that can completely replace workers, which involves environmental perception and decision-making systems, of course, like the first one, which only belongs to weak artificial intelligence, that is, computer intelligence. ”

"The third direction is also related to robots, but this robot can replace people in any situation, such robots need to have human-like environmental cognition, logical judgment, behavioral decision-making, these are not existing algorithms and data models can solve, must be based on the study of human brain and autonomous consciousness. This is a very forward-looking direction, and human beings need to have a deeper understanding of themselves in order to make progress in this direction. ”

Brain and Autonomous Consciousness...... Xia Ming faintly realized.

"The third direction is not the ultimate goal of artificial intelligence, because the robots that are made are only like people in the end, just like taking away the emotional part of a person and strengthening the rational part. No matter how much it resembles a human being, it is still a machine in essence, not another form of life. ”

Xia Ming secretly shuddered, R3AI wanted to format his brain, maybe it wanted to turn him into such a machine.

"Our research institute is taking the fourth direction, which is to create artificial intelligence that can learn by itself, improve it by itself, and evolve by itself, so that it has a real life ......"

Hearing this, Xia Ming was really shocked, creating a living artificial intelligence!? It's even greater than making a clone!
