Chapter 452: The Growth of AI

Shen Chao didn't feel this way, although he still had doubts about the actual appearance of the "Samaritans" who were still in the testing stage, but the reports he had received before showed that the Samaritans' expressions were good, and they had exceeded the plan they had set before they went.

Although only a little more than a month has passed, for an AI like the Samaritans, a month plus monitoring and managing an entire planet's tens of billions of people is enough to learn a huge amount of knowledge. For it, it's not a month, it's the equivalent of years.

At this time, the Samaritans must have developed to a stage of stability. This is also the most important stage of AI development, just as a person has to gradually form an outlook on life, worldview and values in the process of growing up, and it becomes difficult to change after that, an AI will form a deep understanding of itself and the external world, as well as its own creators.

Like human beings, the formation process of these three views is full of danger and uncertainty, so Shen Chao has not been able to observe the Samaritans at this stage up close. Now, either the Samaritans will become superbly intelligent and accustomed to cooperating with humans as a result of what they have learned. Either it will fall into paranoia and, like many failed AI works, fall into a logical loop of destroying its own creator.

Shen Chao himself has seen more types of AI than anyone else, and in his opinion, there is no essential difference between the growth path of AI and the spiritual growth process of a human being. They all start from a blank sheet of paper and gradually evolve after being stimulated by the outside world.

The difference is: An AI's mind can grow significantly faster than the human who created it. What the Samaritans who had behaved like big children a month ago had grown up at this time was something that could only be determined when they met.

"You created an AI?" A real AI? And let it manage the population of an entire world for you? Are you crazy? Sister Xue felt that Shen Chao's arrangement was simply incredible, in her plane, the nascent AI had always been treated as an extremely dangerous thing.

In the past, there was Jace, a mechanical race that had fled the stars for hundreds of years to kill his creator, and then there was their newly discovered reaper who harvested countless reincarnations of organic intelligent life, and there was also the human own lunar rebellion AI that she had personally dealt with.

The lessons of these failures were all exchanged for the blood of countless people, and Shen Chao took the initiative to develop an AI even though he knew these risks, and bound this AI that should have just taken shape to the lives of tens of billions of people!

"I don't know if I'm crazy, but I'm pretty sure you have a lot of misconceptions about AI......" Shen Chao didn't care too much about Sister Xue's surprise, he himself had a lot of doubts about the development of AI technology.

However, after seeing AI rebellion cases in multiple planes. He already understood the specific reasons for these rebellions. I also understand that blindly rejecting the arrival of the AI era is futile. As long as intelligent beings still need to move forward, they will inevitably embark on the path of artificial intelligence.

Rather than holding colored glasses and carrying ideological baggage to hinder the development of AI technology, it is better to take the initiative and embrace the arrival of AI with full technical and security preparations. The latter is undoubtedly more promising.

At least. Proactive development of AI technology can help them better understand different types of AI. In case of AI rebellion. They can also respond more targetedly, and passively hindering the development of AI technology will only make the whole society less resistant to the rebellion against AI.

"How much do you really know about AI?" Shepard! Do you know how different they are? The initial difference between AI structures is greater than the difference between an adult and a cat or dog. They are often more distinct from each other than from other people.

Depending on the initial conditions, the core precepts, the speed of operation, external stimuli, and the structure of self-knowledge differ. The difference in their understanding of the same thing far exceeds the difference between people, and the difference between people and ants can even be greater than the difference between humans and ants......"

"How much do you know about AI, and how can you be sure that your AI won't rebel like Reaper or Jace?" Sister Xue asked rhetorically.

"I've thought about it, and I do have a deep understanding of the AI build, especially the Samaritan you're about to meet. I participated in the construction of its core code......" Shen Chao revealed this detail, in fact, the current Samaritans are completely different from what was first brought back by the expedition.

Although the current Samaritans still use the original intelligent recognition core, the basic cognitive modules are new. And before being deployed in the Elysium world, it has undergone several months of human-computer interaction testing. Although it is far from foolproof, just like a child may go down the wrong path in the process of growing up, with the right guidance, it has a greater possibility of becoming a "kind and beneficial" AI.

Although Shen Chao's programming ability is still not as good as those experts who created ZÀOAI after he intentionally strengthened it, it is still within his ability to give these experts a start and understand the whole process of AI. That's why he has the confidence to start a whole bunch of AI development plans at the same time.

Even if most of these plans fail, there will always be one or two projects that can create a full-fledged AI system, and he will still make a lot of money. Just like the Samaritans now, if they hadn't deployed the Samaritans immediately after occupying Elysium World, they would definitely still be suppressing rebellion and maintaining order everywhere.

But now, under the strong monitoring and interference of the Samaritans, the entire occupied plane has not only succeeded in achieving the original goal of maintaining stability, but has also achieved a good social order that has not been seen on that plane Earth in recent decades.

In just over a month under Samaritan administration, the crime rate on the surface plummeted by 70 percent and the murder rate dropped by 95 percent. If we did not take into account the fact that some of the wealthy people on the surface were still secretly plotting to try to disrupt the social order, the Samaritans would have achieved even more.

Now Shen Chao is going to take Sister Xue to do the final test. If these Samaritans' "achievements" were just an illusion, then he would do well to discover and face them now. Shen Chao has a complete response plan for the Samaritans to get out of control. Of course, as at the beginning, he still hoped that the Samaritans would pass his own acceptance.

After arguing for a while, Sister Xue finally agreed to go with Shen Chao to see the AI he had high hopes for. Of course, she is also like a deep super, bringing plenty of weapons and ammunition before departure, ready to deal with any accidents.

After passing through the space-time gate, they came to the Elysium plane, which had undergone great changes. The door opened by Deep Ultra did not lead directly to the Elysium space station, but a new space station built by the expedition team at the edge of the solar system in this dimension.

The remote space station built on the Kuiper Belt is a scheduled military space station. Construction began long before they conquered the Elysium space station. But it has not been completed until now. This is not to say that the construction personnel are not enough to release water or the number of people is insufficient. Rather, it is because the scale of this project is much larger than the original Phase I of Space Station Zero.

Although the space station zero is still the main base of the expedition, the space station under construction called "Fortress No. 1" is much larger than the space station zero, because the council has established 48 space stations of various sizes in multiple planes, and has accumulated a lot of practical construction and use experience. So the construction plan for Fortress One is not as rough as that of Space Station Zero.

Same as Space Station Zero. The main structure of Fortress One is still the kind of ring space station structure that has proven to be the most reliable, easy to maintain, and has a lot of room for upgrades. But its rings are much thicker and larger in diameter than those of the Zero space station.

The entire space station's ring is more than 8 kilometers in diameter, almost as large as the ring area of the Citadel. Due to the limited construction resources that the Plane Council now has at its disposal, only a quarter of the supporting structures and a small amount of usable space have been built.

I want to complete the construction of this space station and many other scheduled projects in a short time. They must fully integrate the resources of the Elysium plane. Let the industrial capacity of this plane be effectively restored and newly developed.

A space station of the size of Fortress One could easily accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers and an entire fleet. Nearly 100 space stations of this size are expected to be built in the space-time council plan, and only 4 are currently under construction. Fort One is just one of the earliest and most advanced of them all.

"That's why I'm not worried about the Samaritans mutiny," Shen Chao said, pointing to the two frigates inside in the only dock built in Fortress One.

The Samaritans, whose intelligent core is still on the Elysium space station, are completely unaware of the existence of this station, which is 50 astronomical units away. Although the expedition had previously set up small anti-aircraft turrets to bolster its defenses when they seized control of the Elysium station, it was a dream to stop a real starship with that little firepower.

"You see, Shepard, when it comes to security, I'm always going to have an alternate plan. If the Samaritans or other AI I'm working on rebels, I always have a way to destroy them. After saying this, he took Sister Xue through several space-time gates again and came to the temporary crossing area on the Elysium space station.

At this time, the Elysium space station has long since lost the traces of the previous battles and riots of the inhabitants. All "unrelated personnel" were repatriated to the surface, including former senior government officials who had been left behind to assist in the search for information, and were now held in cells at several military bases on the surface.

The Plane Council's occupation of this plane was complete, and in many ways even more successful than the occupation of the Plane of Legends. At least here they don't need to be tied down by any "former sovereign government". (To be continued......)

PS: First of all, thank you for the two children's shoes of "valky and the round table of the dumb hair king" who were rewarded after yesterday's update

Today, I discussed with a group of book friends in the group the possibility of humanoid mecha appearing on the battlefield in the future, and the discussion was very intense, so the update was a little late, and it was supposed to be finished at 16 o'clock in the afternoon......
