Chapter 416: The Dawn of AI

"Welcome, Mr. Korepp. But for you, I should probably say welcome to the future. But unfortunately, the current situation of this plane is probably not the future plane you were expecting, unlike the two test worlds we have been to before, the environment here is more "barbaric", are you sure your baby doesn't need more time to adapt to this world? ”

Shen Chao started the conversation with the old man in a tone similar to that of a friend, and looked at the box the old man was holding as he spoke. There's an AI core in there. The other party seemed to be familiar with him, and although he seemed to be a little cramped about the new environment here, the fat old man in a brown suit still answered Shen Chao's question quite naturally.

"Thank you, Mr. Shen, but I believe that my "Samaritan" can cope with any challenge, the previous two BETA tests have fully demonstrated the intelligence and multi-threaded processing capabilities of my "Samaritan", as a system, he still needs to be guided and fine-tuned, but I believe there will be nothing here that can scare him......" The chubby old man said as he raised his eyes to look around his surroundings, as if looking for something.

"The main control platform is there, the interface is ready, and my engineering unit is now dismantling the plane's scarce nuclear arsenal on the surface. When they finish their work, your Samaritan will be online......" Shen Chao knew what the other party was looking for, so he briefly introduced the situation here.

The chubby old man in front of him was called Arthur. Korepp. He was recruited from a near-future world when the expedition team integrated its own technical strength and began to develop AI independently half a year ago. Except for this old man. The expedition team also went to many high-tech planes in batches, and recruited a large number of technical experts to carry out various types of AI research and development simultaneously in the most covert way possible.

Although they have recruited hundreds of cutting-edge scientists in this field in various planes so far, both the scale of talent hunting and the scale of AI development plans continue to increase. There's no intention of stopping.

Most of the scientists who have been recruited are now distributed in the scientific research bases established by the expedition team in various planes, and are developing AI with different structures, design goals, and operating principles in an open or secret manner, in order to select the model that best suits the needs of the expedition.

These isolated AI development plans are all offshoots of the core plan of an expedition called the Nantianzo Project. And the reason why the old man in front of Shen Chao can appear here at this time is because he independently developed an open-source AI program in his own world, called "Samaritan".

Although the Samaritans are not particularly highly intelligent among the many AIs and AI-like programs in the various planes that Shen Chao has seen, the underlying principle is not new at all. In terms of anthropomorphism, it can even be said that it is below the level.

However, this AI is already highly complete before the expedition recruits its creators, and it has the ability to learn independently and have a high degree of plasticity to modify it at any time.

Therefore, the Samaritan structure is relatively simple and has a high degree of completion, so in the current South Constellation plan, the actual progress is at the top. Leave behind many projects that are more conceptually "ambitious" or theoretically "unlimited". Even the expedition's original plan to go to the Halo Plane to collect AI construction technology has been postponed as a result......

This is why the old man was very confident when he answered Shen Chao's question. Because he has been recruited by the expedition for more than 5 months. He was one of the first project experts to start working on actual AI development. And his work was already 90% complete when he was first recruited.

During his recruitment, the expedition team used his advanced medical system to cure him of his illness, and also allowed him to see and study many of the "failure types" of AI cores and technical data collected by the expedition before.

It was with these materials and the high-performance hardware provided by the expedition that he was able to complete his impressive work. and activate the go-live. After that. He greatly improved his previous design based on the Samaritan's watch from several closed beta tests.

These new additions not only improve the Samaritan's problem-solving efficiency, but also reduce power consumption and reliance on high-performance hardware. What's more, its core intelligence has been significantly improved.

After two months of testing and intelligent evolution, the Samaritan now has reached a very high level of understanding of human behavior and restraint of his own behavior. Successfully promoted all the way from the Alpha version to the RC version. We are only one step away from the standard set by the expedition.

If then, when he first joined the expedition's scientific research system with his work, the Samaritan was still like a baby who had just learned to speak and walk, curious about everything, and liked to break all kinds of safety regulations, unwilling to accept human constraints.

Then, after experiencing the accumulation of experience and a great deal of improvement in the 2 tested worlds, the overall intelligence and physical appearance of the current Samaritan is equivalent to that of a well-educated teenager. And the kind of teenagers who have developed their own worldview.

While the Samaritans still don't like to be constrained by administrators, and sometimes play tricks or even make fools during testing, in general, it has adapted to most of the expedition's requirements for AI. Especially in the area of "human-robot collaboration", it is extraordinary.

In previous tests, the Samaritans have worked effectively with several human test subjects (both voluntarily and forced) to complete a series of difficult test tasks in a single test plane that would not be possible with humans or AI alone.

This latest phase of the test will focus on the Samaritan's ability to work with humans while handling multi-threaded intelligence tasks, and if the Samaritans can effectively complete the test mission in a world where crime is rife and resources are scarce, he will be personally accepted by Shen Chao and taken to other places for militarized applications.

Of course, this is a very long-term plan, and since cases of out-of-control AI disasters are not uncommon in the high-tech plane, even if it is a few years away, and there are many objections within the expedition about whether to let the Samaritans conduct a final test so early or even about the expansion of the South Constellation project itself. Not to mention the distant thing like AI connecting to military networks.

However, due to Shen Chao's insistence on advancing on this topic and the actual demand for AI in the fleet being formed, the Nantianzuo project has been able to move forward steadily, and the research and development in the "civil" field has always been carried out, in fact, it was not until half a month ago that the expedition team finally ended the discussion on the practicality and danger of AI, and finally decided to let the Samaritans take over the initial order reconstruction work of the Elysium plane.

Of all the "self-developed" AI of the expedition so far, the Samaritans have the highest degree of completion among all the projects, and because its predecessor was a system dedicated to large-scale monitoring and deterrence of violent crimes, the Samaritans have functions such as "hive thinking" and "large-scale fuzzy computing" specifically designed to manage large population clusters.

These features allow the Samaritans to inherently monitor and manage this chaotic and violent plane in greater detail than any human, or even most types of AI. If applied well, with the effective cooperation of military force, it can eradicate the problem of large-scale organized crime on this plane and earth in a short period of time.

Of course, this is still on paper. Even Shen Chao, who is a strong advocate of liberating AI intelligence, can't give unreserved trust to the Samaritans and other AIs who are still in the testing stage, so he has been wearing a helmet since he entered the central control room, because before Mr. Korip brought his AI core to the space-time gate, there were guards who informed him of this information.

Throughout the Southern Constellation Project, all AI development projects are arranged in different planes, and none of them are located in the Legendary World, the core plane of the expedition's domination, and every time the AI or their developers transfer, there will be a big battle.

The transferred personnel and items will be subject to rigorous and meticulous inspections, and Shen Chao will personally open a one-time dedicated space-time door passage to prevent the AI under development from entering the core security network of the expedition operation in any way.

This is why Shen Chao will be fully armed on the space station where his army has completely controlled it, and it is also why he will send so few people to enter this plane first. This is a helpless but necessary protective measure.

If the Samaritans suddenly went berserk after this launch and suddenly went out of control like the "Skynet" of the Terminator Plane, Shen Chao could at least guarantee that he would be immune to any possible attacks in a short period of time and successfully evacuate back. And reduce the loss to a tolerable range.

After introducing the basic arrangement and follow-up arrangements here, Shen Chao led the old man holding a small box to a row of prisoners.

"These people are the highest-ranking government officials of this plane's government, during the Samaritan's test, they will continue to be placed on this space station, and there will be someone responsible for guarding them, due to the special identity and status of these people, they may also have some uses, such as hiding some useful information, how to treat them is your and Samaritan's business......"

Shen Chao pointed to a row of people squatting on the ground and introduced, the tone was like a store owner introducing the goods on his shelves. It made these former high-ranking officials worry for a while. (To be continued......)
