Chapter 274: Production of Intelligent Robots
There was warm applause at the scene, and Iron Hide walked to the podium and said, "Gentlemen, ladies, welcome to the press conference of the Wisdom Cube. Wisdom Cube Group will establish a new subsidiary, Wisdom Rubik's Cube Robotics Company. ”
"My new partners will come down from the production line of the robot company and go into thousands of households to provide you with the most intimate service."
"We can clean our homes, we can make dim sum and steaks, and we can even replace humans in most of the non-creative work. We are mankind's most trusted friends and most loyal slaves. ”
"As for our specific capabilities, I won't introduce them too much, and leave it to journalists to discover for themselves. Now, I invite my fellows to come in. ”
At the entrance of the hall, a row of robots rushed in, its appearance was very different from the iron sheet, and the overall appearance looked similar to a metal skeleton, and it was nine points similar to the robots in "Mechanical Public Enemy".
The movements of this column of robots walking are exactly the same, stepping together, waving their hands together, the size of the step distance, and the amplitude of the hand-waving are exactly the same, neat to the extreme.
There were forty robots in the group, and they stood in four rows after they stepped onto the podium.
Iron Sheet walked to the front with a wireless microphone in hand: "Journalists, these robots can be lent out for everyone to adopt for 15 days." Interested friends can register with their press cards after the press conference, and then draw lots on the spot. The lucky journalist who wins the lottery can get a robot back for 15 days.
"But we have a request to write at least one press release during the experience to let people know how you feel. Okay, now let's get to the question stage, if you want to know anything, I will do my best to answer it for you. ”
The reporters all raised their hands, hoping for a good chance to ask questions.
The tin walked down. He handed the wireless microphone to a recent female reporter and said, "Oh, beautiful and temperamental blonde beauty, I am fascinated by your beauty, and you can ask every question." In front of the iron skin, it has always been the priority of beauty. ”
The blonde reporter took the microphone and excitedly said, "Mr. Robot, thank you for the compliment." ”
"Please call me Mr. Ironskin."
"Oh, I'm sorry, okay. Mr. Ironskin, I would like to ask you...... Do you have feelings? ”
Iron Sheet took back the microphone and said: "This, aha, ordinary version 1.0 household robots do not have an emotional simulation system, and a new software version will be launched in the future, perhaps this function will be added." ”
Ironhide handed the microphone to a male reporter next to him, and the reporter asked, "Mr. Ironskin, I want to ask how smart you are?" Can you learn something new? ”
"How smart I am, this ...... I won't tell you about my IQ level. lest everyone have an inferiority complex. As for learning, we are able to learn new knowledge and skills. Some professional skills that require a certificate require the owner to purchase the corresponding software for us and obtain the permission of the laws of the country where the owner is located. We can use it.
Tie Pi paused for a moment, and then continued: "For example, the skills of driving a vehicle, such as professional medical care skills, these require the purchase of special software. And with the permission of the country where we are located, we can use it. ”
"I want to ask if you abide by the three laws of robots."
"Yes. My partner and I both abide by the three laws of robotics, otherwise we would not have existential. ”
"I want to ask, how much does the robot cost?"
"This has not yet been decided, and the price will be determined according to the specific production cost. But there is a principle, the sales of robots are the same as Yaochi jade liquid, and they are subject to terminal control, and each person is temporarily limited to one purchase. ”
A reporter was puzzled: "Why do you want to limit purchases?" ”
"Because we can create wealth for humanity, if we don't stipulate that each person can only buy one, it will exacerbate the gap between the rich and the poor."
These home robots are intelligent, and they can do better than humans in their daily work. If it is sold as a normal commodity, it will make the rich buy a large number of robots, which is equivalent to the rich having a large number of hard-working and never tired workers, so that many companies do not need to hire ordinary people, which will cause a large number of people to lose their jobs.
The end result is that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
Li Hao stipulates that each person can only buy one at most. Rich people can't buy a batch, because robots are a special commodity, and you need to recognize the owner to complete the purchase. Wealthy people can't borrow someone else's identification to buy it. Because it will be stuck on the level of confession.
Only when the Wisdom Cube Robot Company can complete the process of recognizing the owner, the robot will only obey the master's orders after recognizing the owner.
Moreover, the robot chip will be locked after recognizing the owner, and the owner's information can no longer be changed, completely eliminating the possibility of second-hand transfer. Such a robot can no longer be resold. If the original owner of the robot dies, the legal heir can take the robot to the Wisdom Cube company, issue an inheritance certificate, and the company will unlock the chip, change the owner's information, and then lock the chip.
In this case, at most, there will only be money advanced by the rich, and after the ordinary person buys it, the robot will be rented to the rich person for use. At the very least, rental income can be obtained. The ownership of the robot always belongs only to its owner.
This can limit the polarization between rich and poor to a certain extent.
Although it is a restriction on sales, it will not affect the company's profits, because household robots are an absolute technology monopoly, and the price can be set as high as you want.
In fact, when it comes to Li Hao's realm, there is really no need to pursue personal wealth on the earth. That's just a meaningless number, more, less, no difference.
……
After the press conference, all the reporters present signed up to receive the robot, and then drew lots according to the country and geographical grouping, and the 40 lucky reporters who were selected took away the robot and got the right to experience it for 15 days.
Although the Wisdom Cube only requires reporters to write a press release, how can reporters let go of such valuable news? Some TV stations even broadcast the whole process live, filming the bits and pieces of the robot's life.
The news continues to ferment, and a large number of robot news reports come out every day.
These more than 40 journalists are spread across different countries and regions, and their influence is very widespread.
Just when the press set off a wave of machines, the Wisdom Cube Robot Company was established and applied for a global patent from the patent agency. Then, the production standards for robot body parts were announced, and commercial cooperation was sought around the world.
To become a supplier of Wisdom Cube, which company doesn't want to? It's just that the technical content of the parts of the robotic arm and the robotic thigh is extremely high, and the requirements of the smart cube are also quite strict, and there are not many companies that have the ability to produce these parts.
This work is advancing, and in the Smart Cube factory, robot chips have also begun to be produced.
All robot chips have a backdoor, and when the super command is entered, these robots will obey the orders of the company.
In other words, in fact, the first owner of all robots is actually the wisdom cube company, and the second owner is the buyer, and the buyer can set the third master and the fourth owner.
The robot has a special network from which buyers can pay to download new software to make the robot master more skills.
For example, if you want your machine to become a nurse, you can buy medical and nursing knowledge, and let the robot download and install the nurse software, so that it can complete the work of injections and daily care.
If in an extraordinary period, the Wisdom Cube company can activate super instructions through the robot network, so that all robots obey their commands. In fact, all robots that can change the owner's information are left with super instructions.
Li Hao produces this version of the chip, which can change the owner's information, but the company usually does not help users modify it. Changes are only allowed if the original owner dies, and only the legal heirs of the property are changed to the owner.
Just two or three days later, the media was full of talk about robots.
After the reporter took away the experienced robots, he carried out various experiments and let the robots do all kinds of work.
The results are so shocking that the average person is able to do a lot of work that robots can do. Of course, there are also quite a few jokes, such as a reporter asking a robot to write a lyric poem. And what he saw was, "Ah, the sea, thou art all water; Ah, the mountains you are all dirt. "It's a work of this level.
There are also many journalists who are concerned about the safety of robots, and he has cooperated with some research institutes to conduct various tests, and the results are amazing.
The reporter asked the robot to prick the little finger with a needle, but the robot refused to implement it, citing the first of the three laws of the machine: "The robot must not hurt people, nor should it stand by and watch people being harmed." ”
But when the machine was asked to draw blood for testing, the robot did not hesitate to draw a needle of blood.
It can be seen that its understanding of the word harm is not rigid, but combined with a large amount of common sense, and has the ability to make independent judgments.
Another example is to ask it to take arsenic and add it to someone else's drink, and when it doesn't know it's arsenic, it follows the owner's orders and completes it. But when told it was arsenic, it refused to carry out the order, and snatched the cup when someone else pretended to drink the arsenic drink.
Through various tests, the research institute came to the conclusion that it is safe! A lot of common sense judgments are the same as normal human beings.
Some research institutes have also conducted a "Turing test" on robots, allowing robots to go online and chat with multiple netizens, and no one can identify that the robot is opposite them. When you tell them that you just had a conversation with the bot, they still don't believe it.
Some people of insight immediately realized the meaning of this, and human society will face changes.
From the Yaochi jade liquid to the virtual real network, and now to the intelligent robot, all three technologies have a significant impact on the entire society. It is no exaggeration to say that this is enough to turn human society upside down. (To be continued......)
