0223 Decisive Battle, The Road to EI
The documentary "The Fourth Evolution" on the first day tells the story of Xia Ming's discovery of the Star Gate, and the U.S. government bore the brunt of it and became the target of global public opinion, and in China, it also triggered a wave of voices such as "cleaning up traitors" and "returning Starlink to China".
At present, the Star Network is still limited to scientific research, medical and other professional fields, with no more than 10 million individual users, and the vast majority of people obtain information and discuss through the Internet.
The U.S. and Chinese governments have adopted the most stringent control measures in the history of the Internet. In addition to the documentary itself broadcast by Starlink on the Internet, other websites, forums, and self-media are strictly prohibited from reprinting and discussing.
They don't have the luxury of expecting to completely wipe out this wave of voice, everyone who knows knows it, and those who don't know don't have the heart to think about it even if they spread propaganda all over the world, and this kind of behavior of covering their ears and stealing the bell is just a natural nerve reflex that the existing government naturally has.
The next day, the second documentary was released, and in addition to being broadcast on the Starnet and the official website of the Internet, Starlink also played with the technology that made governments jaw-dropping.
The lasers launched from the five commercial satellites of Starlink projected three huge screens more than 20 kilometers long and more than 10 kilometers wide in the stratosphere over California in the northern hemisphere, Tokyo in Japan, Yandu in China, Haidu in China, and Berlin in Germany, and the second documentary called "The Road to EI" was played on such screens.
The brightness of the projection is not high enough, and the details are blurry, but with such a large screen, you can't pay attention to the details at all, and you can see it clearly in general.
Although governments can block the Internet and other media, they cannot block such news, let alone cover the eyes of tens of millions of people in five places, and the world is in an uproar.
The UNOC meeting was also held in advance, and the representatives of various countries did not care about discussing whether to allow robots to participate in the UNOC meeting, and asked Starlink's robot representative, Xingling, what was Starlink doing.
Xingling said mechanically: "This is the United Nations Meteorological Agency's disaster relief warning system, and it is your satellite. According to the commission of the Meteorological Administration at the beginning of the year, Starlink has deployed this new set of remote sensing and warning satellites, and is now doing warning tests. ”
Everyone was stunned, this matter could not be under the control of the UNOC, and they all subconsciously looked at the chairman.
"There is no clause in the contract that allows Starlink to broadcast the alarm content at will", and the chairman had to stand up and speak.
Xingling shrugged his shoulders very humanly: "The contract stipulates that the meteorological department will not be responsible for anything related to the system without signing the acceptance. Starlink has the right to test the system according to its own needs, and which French article is violated in the tests that are being carried out now? ”
Not only the chairman of the board of directors was speechless, but the other representatives were also dumbfounded, whether it is the laws of various countries, or various international treaties, there is no provision that "air projection is not allowed to be broadcast in the airspace of various countries", who knew that air projection technology would develop so fast?
Air projection, with holographic imaging technology, is the most common black technology in science fiction works, but because of the mechanism of air reflection light, this technology has only stopped at the stage of using fog imaging.
Seven or eight years ago, the Japanese began experimenting with ionizing air with lasers, using plasma that exists for a very short period of time to display images and even produce actual tactile sensations. However, at that time, the intelligent control technology was not perfect, the generation and control of plasma was difficult to master, and the image resolution formed in the air was very low, and there was still a long way to go from practicality.
Relying on the new generation of photobrain chips, as well as the development of plasma technology, especially the maturity of intelligent electromagnetic wave projection arrays, this direction has finally come to fruition, and the relevant technical team has also won this year's Stargate Award.
Hopelessly, the Japanese used this technology for the first time to hold a Hatsune concert, and in other fields, because AR vision has become widely popular, this technology that occupies public vision is currently being used for public display. The United Nations Meteorological Agency believes that such a technology can give the first warning to the place where natural disasters occur, and commissioned Starlink to deploy this system, which is still in the testing stage.
Unexpectedly, Starlink's test was used to show documentaries......
The Huaxia representative said unwillingly: "This at least violates the airspace of various countries!" ”
"The countries where the projection is located are all signatories to this system," Xingling said, "Mind you, there is a GEI in front of you, and you don't have the slightest chance of the debate around the French language and the contract." ”
The Huaxia representative choked, thinking that it seems that he will really learn from the Star Alliance in the future, and he will send GEI to attend the meeting in the future.
"Oh-is it true!?"
"It's hard to imagine that AI can already manage a city?"
"I've been to Antsiranana, and the whole city is really run by artificial intelligence, which feels good."
The topic was interrupted by an exclamation, and the Huaxia representative's gaze turned to the documentary, and then he couldn't take it off.
The documentary "The Road to EI" does not start with Xia Ming's inheritance of Professor Xu Ping's research and talk about the development of EI from the beginning, but shows the scene of GEI "Anthea" serving as mayor of Antshiranana at the beginning.
The scene is like a fairy tale, Anthea is a playful and cute female lemur, its body is a GEI built with 54,000 new-generation silicon carbide neuron chips, and there are three supercomputing centers to support it for scientific computing.
The urban intelligent network extended by it connects 6 million 3-in-1 sensors of sound waves, visible light and infrared, 120,000 terahertz scanners, and millions of sensors for the environment and infrastructure such as air, electrical circuits, water supply, sewerage, and networks. When necessary, drones or even satellites can also be used to make all-round observations of special areas.
It can be said that the entire city of Antsiranana, below the stratosphere, more than a thousand meters underground, and a radius of more than 2,000 square kilometers, as long as Anthea is willing, as small as a mouse's movements can be mastered.
In addition to the sensor system, all the electronic door locks of motor vehicles, public and commercial buildings, elevators, and traffic lights in the entire city are also connected to the city's intelligent network, providing information for Anthea, and if necessary, Anthea can also manage it directly.
Eighty percent of the local citizens of Antsiranana carry PEI with them and connect with Anthea through the intelligent network. 100% of tourists are required to wear a smart bracelet on their wrist when entering the country, which is also a device connected to Anthea.
Relying on this all-encompassing intelligent network, Anthea manages thousands of cleaning robots, tens of thousands of robot police, tens of thousands of engineering robots, and more than 20,000 robots for other purposes.
Of course, Anthea does not directly manage such a huge network at all times, and under it, there are more than 20 AEIs (Affiliated Extended Intelligence) such as municipal facilities, transportation, public security, and medical care, which are managed by AEI on a regular basis, and it will take over when there is an abnormal situation.
At the scale of a city of one million people, Antsiranana's city government has a pitiful number of people, such as the police, and there is only a dozen or so patrol officers in each of the city's thirteen districts to support problems that are difficult for robot cops to solve. There is also a SWAT of more than 20 people in the city to solve violent crimes that are not yet afraid to be handled by robots.
Excluding public hospitals, schools, libraries, museums and parks, the city government of Antsiraana employs less than 1,000 people, including more than 400 people in the intelligent network and robotics maintenance department. Unlike Huaxia's statistics, these employees are all civil servants and have "establishments". There are no temporary workers outside the establishment, no, there are robot permanent workers.
As soon as the picture of the documentary turned, there was a virtual idol cicada Xiaofan, who acted as a reporter and "interviewed" Anthea.
The first question is what Anthea uses to run the city.
Anthea said: "According to my soul, of course. ”
The "soul" that the little female lemur refers to is its core will.
Following the three-layer structure of the core will proposed by Xia Ming, the first layer is self-awareness, and the core structure of Anthea is a synchronous architecture composed of multiple neuronal chips, the specific details are confidential, and the focus is to ensure its reliability and security.
The second layer is belonging cognition and environmental cognition, and Anthea's belonging cognition has a whole set of authority mechanisms. Unlike PEI, Anthea, as a GEI, does not have individual administrator privileges, except for super administrator and maintenance administrator privileges, but an overall authority.
This authority is tied to the operation of the City Council, which follows the procedures established by law and follows the decisions that Anthea automatically enforces, including adjustments to the extensions that make up her environment.
The third layer is Anthea's self-will, which is still simulated when it is not yet a strong artificial intelligence, and the overall framework is to make the city better and the citizens happier, and this goal is also the meaning of its existence.
Judging by the results, it is already possible to make its own proposals and give opinions on the resolutions of the city council, based on the functioning of the city council, as well as the experience of managing the city.
The documentary goes on to talk about whether people's biggest concern is whether artificial intelligence should be added with a law such as "no harm to humans" to avoid an AI catastrophe.
The screen shifts to Starlink's research institute, which is a profile video that tells how Anthea's R&D team solved this problem.
The team was made up of scientists, engineers, and sociologists, who initially believed that the principle that "no human life should be taken away under any circumstances" should be added to GEI's core will as insurance.
But as Anthea entered the testing phase, it was found that setting this core principle had caused a huge drag on Anthea's thinking efficiency. And it is meaningless to make such a judgment first for every decision.
For example, if you want to adjust the bus route, if you want to say that it has nothing to do with human life, big data will tell you that it is actually related, but this is not a problem that the bus route should undertake and can solve, but it can be linked to urban planning, human safety awareness and other issues.
If Anthea wants to implement this principle, then the action route of each cleaning robot must be included in the management, because theoretically there is a probability that the bear child will run around and hit the robot headlong, which is obviously unrealistic at present.
To put it another way, to set a law similar to the "Three Laws of Robots" for Anthea is equivalent to transferring the responsibility of humans for their own actions to Anthea, but human behavior is beyond Anthea's control.
The R&D team deduced a terrible conclusion from this, if we want to adhere to the "three laws of robots", then robots should go deep into everyone's thinking and control all the behaviors of managers.
The R&D team then found that it was redundant to set such a rule for Anthea, as Anthea, like all EIs, follows the principle of "empowered action". It will do what it is allowed to do, and what is outside the permission is equivalent to prohibition in its core will.
On top of that, Anthea is just a brain, and what it can do, and to what extent, depends on the extended function.
For example, Anthea manages the robot police, and the robot police itself has been set to prohibit the loading of live ammunition weapons, and the non-lethal weapons such as electric shocks, microwaves, and rope nets are also strictly limited.
Of course, this does not mean that Anthea does not have the initiative, it will put forward opinions based on previous management behaviors, combined with the current situation, and can find the connections in different areas and point out the problems. Only after obtaining permission can you think about the next step.
Therefore, when thinking about municipal decision-making, adding instructions such as "measuring human security" to Anthea can ensure its tendency.
For example, if there is an anomaly in the air pollution in an area, Anthea will look for and analyze relevant scientific reports based on the air conditions and make recommendations.
In conclusion, Anthea can already rely on rational judgment and various aspects of extended functions to serve the city and solve the city's municipal management problems. But it is still an illusion that humanity throws all the problems to the GEI, even the responsibility.
Humans must also take responsibility for themselves at the decision-making level, and what Anthea does is to evaluate the benefits and disadvantages of these decisions, refine them, and then implement them. At all levels of execution, humanity must also take responsibility for ensuring that Anthea's execution process is effective and safe.
In the data image, the R&D team believes that even if strong artificial intelligence appears, its performance in municipal management is only more detailed than Anthea, with a better understanding of decision-making, and more humane suggestions and opinions.
Humanity does not need to worry about being ruled by it, because its "meaning of life" is to serve the city for the benefit of mankind. Things like "domination over mankind" are nothing more than the delusions and fears of humanity itself. Acting only with authorization is a rule that strong artificial intelligence should also follow. Compared with weak artificial intelligence, it is just that the scope of authorization is wider and the action is more flexible, and there is no need to check and correct every detail.
Humans can't imagine that it has become an omnipotent god, and if humans leave all their decisions to it, it is their own responsibility, and, according to the permission mechanism, the behavior of strong artificial intelligence can be terminated at any time through the program. Of course, if humanity is so crazy that it throws away all the permission mechanisms and lets the strong AI do whatever it wants, it will be the same as turning on the nuclear weapons insurance, which is purely self-inflicted.
At this point, not only the representatives of the UNOC, but also the general audience had a preliminary understanding of GEI's performance in city management and even the management of more public affairs, and had great expectations.
Just, fair, scientific, efficient, and honest, such civil servants are liked by the people.
As for the governments of various countries, looking at the faces of the Huaxia deputies who are about to wring out the water, you can know how tangled they are.
Scientific and efficient, of course the government likes it, but the justice and fairness in the front, and the honesty in the back, is not disliked, but big trouble. This means that the pattern of interests that has been precipitated in the past will be completely overthrown.
Not to mention, to ensure that GEI plays a role in the management of public affairs, the decision-making mechanism needs not only "procedural justice" but also "from the masses and to the masses." Because every decision, with the impetus of GEI, will have a quick effect. It is difficult to fool whether the decision-making level is serving the people and whether it is competent. Without a political structure with clear powers and responsibilities, it is difficult to throw away the responsibilities of the decision-making level.
What is even more terrifying is that if human beings are still created equal, as long as the current political system is justified, people will have no incentive to reform. But yesterday's documentary, "The Fourth Evolution," revealed that humanity has moved toward inequality, and in this wave of change, it is natural for people to expect a stronger and more advanced political system to stabilize society, and letting GEI manage it is an inevitable direction.
In front of GEI, human beings can be equal again.
After Anthea, the documentary began to introduce GEI in science and BEI in business. Not only did the "Guan Zhong" and "Adams" used for statistical analysis of economic conditions in China and the United States appeared, but also the EIs of hundreds of scientific research institutions and commercial enterprises appeared as anthropomorphic avatars.
The capabilities they demonstrated made the delegates once again reminisce about how the take-off of technology and economy came about in the past two or three years, and the audience finally understood that EI has already penetrated into all aspects of life.
After that, PEI finally came into the picture. The documentary looks back on the original Prometheus, to the first generation of Tinder, and now to the latest third-generation Tinder, from education, medical care, entertainment and life services, all aspects show the convenience that PEI has brought to human beings, and even the evolution of individuals.
The camera shifts to Antania, where elementary school students, through the combination of PEI and educational GEI, begin to be exposed to high school knowledge in only the fifth grade of primary school, and it does not seem to be too difficult. Because intellectual information is readily available through PEI, students focus on thinking, logic and cultural perception.
Looking at elementary school students in their early teens, they can rely on the methodology that has just taken shape and carry out some research projects that only college students can produce on their own, whether it is a representative of UNOC or a passer-by who looks up at the sky, they all have a feeling of "I can't wait to be born ten or twenty years later".
The camera shifts again, and the subtitle hint is a virtual scene, but the content is known to many people. The team of Japanese scientists who were previously arrested by Starlink tried to crack PEI's will mapping mechanism in order to modify PEI's core will through viruses and other means.
The virtual scene is showing the consequences of PEI being cracked and controlled, and the personal preferences mapped on PEI are tampered with without knowing it, and they are shopping on the Internet. The students' information base is targeted to specific content, and in class, Japanese elementary school students chant in unison, "The rise and fall of the imperial kingdom, in one fell swoop." Criminals embezzle other people's online accounts and even bank accounts through PEI cracking. Someone covets a beautiful woman, distorts the psychology of the beauty through PEI, and finally hugs the beauty.
"PEI extends the self and brings ten times more convenience to people, and once it is mastered by others, it brings a hundred times more harm", after showing all kinds of harm, such a line of big words is typed in the video.
In addition to the core architecture, it also shows the new technology of the next generation of PEI, which is attached to human neurons and directly bound to the human body, making it more technically difficult to crack PEI, and such an attempt is equivalent to infringing on the human body.
Another line of big characters was typed, which made the audience who were immersed in their own safety frightened.
"It's just PEI, what if GEI is also violated?"
Think about it, what would happen if Anthea's GEI, who runs a city, was cracked and controlled?
It's a nightmare, isn't it......
At the end of the documentary, the missiles of the Starlink fighter jets hit the Japanese fighters directly, and the Starlink special services raided the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department in Japan and captured three Japanese scientists who tried to crack the PEI.
"The mission of Starlink is to protect the three laws of EI, protect individual human beings, and the soul of human society."
At the end of the documentary, such a line of subtitles is typed.
In the UNOC venue, the silence lasted for several minutes before I heard the difficult words of the chairman: "So, is Starlink ready to play the role of a regulator of technology and comprehensively supervise various countries?" ”
It's definitely a showdown!
The representatives of all countries present were thinking, Starlink has public opinion, technology, and strength, and what do they have? There is only the roar of interest groups in defense of interests......
"Starlink also knows that the immediate realization of such a goal is a social revolution on a global scale, and the chaos caused by the alternation of the old and new order will not only hurt many people, but also affect the situation in the stargate."
Xing Ling said this, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, you Star Federation is also self-aware, unless you want to become the Earth Federation, you dare not set off this wave of anger.
"That's why Starlink launched the EI Technology Treaty, which is the Soul Charter," the term Starlink said, reminding the delegates of yesterday's situation.
The chairman asked, "What does this "Soul Charter" really mean?" ”
"It's about the positioning of the Star Alliance, the goal of the Star Alliance, and the relationship between the Star Federation and human beings." (To be continued.) )
