Chapter 284: Whether AI threatens humanity or not depends on its assessment of humanity

Wu Zhe saw that Shen Zhiwen was too excited, and hurriedly persuaded: "Zhiwen, don't think about becoming fat in one bite." With today's technology, it is impossible to achieve the perfect idea in your mind, step by step. After that, it's the era of big data. ”

"Ah Zhe, according to what you say, the era of artificial intelligence will not come soon." Wang Chao said with a little surprise.

When he thinks about the images in the movie, he feels that there is something missing.

Then he asked Wu Zhe: "Will the emergence of artificial intelligence really pose a threat to human beings like in the movie?" ”

Wu Zhe saw that the three of them were very interested in this question, thought about it and replied: "In my opinion, the time for the generation of artificial intelligence is still early, and of course the emergence of accidental factors cannot be ruled out. As for whether it will be dangerous to humans, it should lie in AI's definition of civilized humans. How do you evaluate humans? ”

When Wu Zhe said this, not only Wang Chao and Huang Minghai were a little stunned. Even Shen Zhiwen, who was proficient in computers, didn't understand what Wu Zhe meant by this.

"A-Zhe, what do you mean by that? Could it be that if we invented it, it could still rebel? Don't you have any three laws of artificial intelligence? I think the number one thing is that AI can't hurt humans, right? Wang Chao asked in surprise.

"Wang Chao, you are also a scholar, if you deceive a layman, you also believe it?" Wu Zhe smiled disdainfully, "If AI life really appears, even if you set the rule of not harming humans in the underlying program." Do you believe it can rewrite the code upside down and in Martian? There are no rules in AI life that cannot be broken! ”

"Rub, isn't that completely uncontrollable?" Wang Chao exclaimed.

"Then I ask you, is sex good, or is sex evil!" Wu Zhe continued to ask.

"Azhe, this is a philosophical question. We don't have to be so clear about what we learn, right? Huang Minghai listened loudly.

Shen Zhiwen felt that this question was related to a very important part of intelligent life, and hurriedly stopped Huang Minghai, "Ah Zhe, do you have anything else to say here?" ”

"Uh, you really want to hear it? It's a bit of a mouthful to explain! "Wu Zhe doesn't want to explain much, it's too troublesome!

"Hey, hanging appetite? The more you do this, the more we want to hear it. Isn't it just the debate about whether people are born good or bad? Why is it so mysterious? Wang Chao shouted beside him.

"Smack!" was knocked on the head by Wu Zhe, "Let you not learn and have no skills, by the way." Wang Chao: If you want to go further in the field of finance and surpass the theoretical system of the West, I advise you to read more of the Eastern philosophical ideas and think more. ”

Wang Chao, who was covering his head, looked at Wu Zhe with some puzzlement, I studied mathematics. You let me read ancient texts?

Wu Zhe nodded at Wang Chao and didn't say anything more. There are some things that you have to realize.

Mencius's theory of the goodness of nature does not mean that human nature is inherently good. It's an instinctive desire. This desire is a natural instinct that comes from the heart. Of course, Xunzi's theory of sexual evil does not mean that people are born evil, and the "sexual evil" here refers to the trend of infinite development of human desires resulting in bad results. People's desires are unlimited, and after a long time, everyone will fight, and if they fight, they will be chaotic, and if they are chaotic, they will be evil. ”

So the two have completely different understandings of "sex", one lies in instinct, such as eating and sleeping. The other is about the consequences of uncontrolled desires. ”

"Okay, now let's go back to AI life, and what I just said is almost all about what will happen after the birth of life. So what is the instinct of AI? Instead of eating and sleeping, his instinct should be to calculate and verify, and then explore. Will it have lust then? And what happens if it's out of control? ”

"Our historical civilization is a fragment of time and space, and for AI it is a data stream, and we humans in the data stream may be more important data for AI, and when its desire swells to the point that eliminating us is beneficial and harmless to this data torrent, then hostility will be inevitable. That's why I mentioned earlier that the birth of AI is not about the underlying logic, but about its evaluation of the entire human civilization. ”

Wu Zhe has tried his best to explain in popular language, but the three of them can still hear the clouds. Think about it, why do you this yourself? This is really an accident, isn't there a tall man in front of him! At least Wu Zhe will definitely think more than they think.

"The First Evolution"

"Hi Azhe, in a word. It's just that I'm sure to fall out in the future! To get this thing out, it means that you have to get the things that counter him together, right! Wang Chao said with a big grin.

Anyway, that is not his field of study, it is Wu Zhe and Shen Zhiwen who should be worried.

Wu Zhe glanced at him and said, "Let me make another analogy, what do you say we are?" ”

This is the simplest question that stumped all three people present. I've been a person for so long, and I really haven't thought about what a human being is?

Without waiting for a few people to answer, Wu Zhe said with a smile: "We humans also have the underlying code, that is, DNA and those chemicals that create emotions. One creates the physical body, and the other produces emotions through bioelectricity and some chemicals, and those emotions further act into consciousness, which can also be called the soul.

However, we have not yet been able to distinguish between the bioelectricity generated by billions of neural units and the variables within it. But the regularity in it is obvious, so do you think we are also designed?

Suppose there is such a Creator, if you enslave you every day, oppress you, and look at your DNA every day, and rewrite and rewrite from time to time. What would you do if you were left unreserved? ”

"That's not nonsense? Damn! Wang Chao shouted without even thinking about it.

Shen Zhiwen's brows furrowed deeply, and Wu Zhe's words were already very clear.

glanced at Wu Zhe and said: "Ah Zhe, these are just your inferences, whether it is really as you said, you can't make a conclusion yet." ”

Wu Zhe spread his hands, he knew what Shen Zhiwen meant, his words just now should not have come out of his mouth, because there were no arguments, and his words just now had already involved the Creator and not Darwin's theory of evolution.

"Hey, that's. You're serious! Hurry up and go back to school after eating. Wu Zhe persuaded.

But he still told Shen Zhiwen, "Zhiwen, you'd better study biology, especially the cranial nerves, which should be useful to you in the future AI side, what I just said, those neurons or something, it's not fictional." ”

"Hmmm! I'll learn! I also think your insights are unique. Shen Zhiwen nodded.

Huang Minghai said with a smile: "Ah Zhe, you have pointed out the way for both Zhiwen and Wang Chao, but you can't favor one over the other." See what I should strengthen later? ”

"When did he show me the way? How did I not know? Wang Chao had a question mark on his face.

"You Wang Da Shao is a very smart person, how can you make a mistake? Ah Zhe, let you learn the ancient Eastern philosophical thinking. I still don't understand, when have you ever seen Ah Zhe talk nonsense? Huang Minghai knocked on Wang Chao's elm head.

"Boss, what do you want to study in physics in the future?" Wu Zhe really didn't know which aspect Huang Minghai was studying, and later he entered the Ministry of Aerospace, and many things were kept secret. Wu Zhe didn't ask, and Huang Minghai couldn't say it.

"I haven't thought about it yet, I hope that one day, I can make it possible for people in our country to go to the sky, to the moon or to Mars. It was my childhood dream. ”

This topic is big enough, and Wu Zhe doesn't know what to say. Aerospace is a system engineering, which is all-encompassing, and is basically the pinnacle technology product of a country.

"I really can't give an opinion on this, there are too many disciplines in this aerospace engineering. However, materials and power are two issues that cannot be avoided in any way. You can step it up. ”

Wu Zhe can only give such advice.

After the four of them finished eating, they chatted about their own interesting things during the winter vacation in the living room. Seeing that the time was almost up, several people left to go back to school.

In a classroom in the Youth Academy, this year's freshmen are very lively talking about winter vacation life, and it is inevitable to mention Wu Zhe, his classmate, who will make some trouble after the New Year.

Seeing that none of the four people in Wu Zhe's dormitory were nowhere to be seen, many people came to Qi Ming to inquire about the situation.

"Qi Ming, what about Wu Zhe and Wang Chao?" Xu Dong from Class 2 ran over and asked.

"I'm going outside the school, Wang Chao said I'm coming." Qi Ming replied softly.

"Hey, run out on the first day. It's going to be a dinner. Qi Ming's outside class said that he would have a dinner party at night, what did you say in class 1? Xu Dong came over to ask about the party at night.

"Needless to say, this will definitely happen! As far as Wang Chao's temperament of wanting to have a treat for nothing, he shouldn't be too happy when he hears the party! Gao Xiaocheng of Class 1 said with a smile next to him.

"That's, when didn't our class do it first, and then bring your class with you."

"Xu Dong, this time you have learned to take the lead, why don't you have a treat?"

"I think it's okay, I have to help Wu Zhe and Wang Chao save the two provinces!"

The people in class 1 are considered to be seedlings, and they directly put Xu Dong on the rack, this will definitely not work if he doesn't agree, if he agrees, he doesn't care, but if he has an opinion in his class, it will be troublesome.

Gritting your teeth, if someone doesn't agree, then simply invite yourself.

Just as he was about to agree, a voice came from behind him: "Hey! Xu Dong, it's you a bastard who is here to steal the limelight from Wang Ye, which round will you get the treat? Then he turned to everyone and said loudly: "Evening, Jiang Nanchun!" All consumption is paid by Wang Gongzi! ”

"Oh! Wang Ye is handsome! The people around him were also slapping the table very face-saving.

Everyone knows that Wang Dashao likes this row.

Wang Chao looked around, grinning and said, "Thank you brothers and sisters for cheering!" Make it hard for me at night! ”

Wu Zhe and the three of them could only shake their heads and smile in the back, this Young Master Wang entered the arena, and the atmosphere was different.

Wang Chao came over and hugged Xu Dong and whispered, "You fucking stupid!" Those kids' jokes are still serious, you have a phone bill, and then drink the northwest wind! ”

Then he taught: "To be a man, you have to know how to be flexible, didn't Ah Zhe give 500,000 yuan each to the two classes?" That is the class fee, you have to use it, although the money is in Qi Ming's, but as long as it is a class activity, then there is no problem. I will also let Qi Ming pay for the night. You idiot! ”

"This~this" Xu Dong was hit by Wang Chao's shameless behavior, and there was no way to describe him in words.

Wu Zhe also came to the side, and said to Xu Dong with a smile: "You really have to learn from Wang Chao in this way, at least you won't suffer much if you leave the school in the future." ”

Wu Zhe's classmates are smart and smart. But they are all half-grown children, and they are still very immature in handling things, but Wang Chao, the youngest, is the best in this regard.

"Qi Ming, have all the people arrived?" Wu Zhe, as the squad leader, still needs to ask.

When Qi Ming heard Wu Zhe ask him, a red glow rose on his delicate little face, and he said softly: "It's all here." Is there anything wrong with you? ”

Wu Zhe said with a smile: "Is it over, didn't you say that there would be a class meeting in the evening?" Now that the person has arrived, why don't you notify Lao Zhang to come over and say it directly! Since it's a party in the evening, don't bother. ”

Xu Dong also nodded when he heard this, if he had a good time at the party outside the meeting, he had to rush back to attend the class meeting, wouldn't that be a disappointment?

"I'll see it's okay, I'll also call Mr. Qian and ask him about the situation?" Xu Dong said

Wu Zhe motioned to Qi Ming and asked him to call. Recently, he and Wang Chao have been eating and living in the laboratory, and his wife asked Lao Zhang to call the two of them a few times, but the two of them were also afraid of troublesome for the old couple, so they kept pushing it off under the pretext of being busy.

So I've been a little angry with the two of them recently, and Wu Zhe doesn't want this to hit the muzzle.

After Qi Ming and Xu Dong finished calling, Wu Zhe asked, "What did you say?" ”

"The teacher is in the office, and he will come down in a moment. It's quite nice to listen to the voice. Qi Ming glanced at Wu Zhedao.

Xu Dong is also a nod, and he has no problem there.

Seeing that there was no problem, Wu Zhe nodded to the two.

Greeting Wang Chao, who was messing with his classmates, took Shen Zhiwen and Huang Minghai to find a vacant seat at the back of the classroom.

Seeing Wu Zhe's movements, Qi Ming's face turned a little pale, and Xu Dong also sighed secretly beside him.

The people in classes 1 and 2 are not fools, and many people can see that Qi Ming likes Wu Zhe. can think of robbing people with Tang Meng, the difficulty is simply hellish.

And Wu Zhe also pays great attention to this aspect, and will never give people any misunderstanding. Engaging in ambiguity or stepping on two boats, Wu Zhe will not and disdainfully do it.

After sitting down for a while, Zhang Detong, the instructor of class 1, and Qian Feng, the tutor of class 2, entered the classroom together.

Previous sessions of the Academy. Class 1 and Class 2 are still talking about things separately, and sometimes there is a bit of a gap. It's good to arrive at Wu Zhe's class, and the two classes are about to become one class. Everything is together. Qian Feng is very simple every time, he just stands behind Lao Zhang, and lets Lao Zhang do all the work.

When Lao Zhang finished speaking, he just had to say: I have the same point of view as Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Zhang's words are what I want to say. This class teacher is probably the most relaxed class teacher in the past.

Today is no exception, I still stop behind Zhang Detong and give the podium to Zhang Detong. But this time, there was still a flash of envy in his eyes.

The classroom fell silent when the two class leaders came in.

Lao Zhang cleared his throat first and said, "It's all here, then I'll say a few words." A semester has passed, and this is the second half of your freshman year. Some people did well last semester, and some people were almost hot. Those who are not enough must catch up in this half a year------"

After saying a lot of words to carry on the past and forge ahead into the future, the students below also had sleepy expressions.

At this time, Zhang Detong suddenly changed his words and said: "Tomorrow at 8 o'clock in the morning, everyone will gather in the playground." The president personally gave Professor Wu Zhe a ribbon. He was awarded a doctorate degree and a letter of appointment as an associate professor from the university. ”

There was an uproar below, they knew about Dr. Wu Zhe's affairs, but Mizuki got an associate professor again?

"Professor Wu, come. Let's say a few words! It's all old acquaintances, don't say you're embarrassed! Zhang Detong said to Wu Zhe with a smile.

Wu Zhe didn't contain the lake, stood up and said directly: "Teacher Zhang, what do you say about my tuition?" Do you still have to pay it? ”
