Li Mengyan looked at the virtual portrait on Du Jin's wrist and recalled in a helpless voice:

"That period of history is a hundred years ago, many people have chosen to forget, Du Jin You should know that when power and strength reach a balance, everyone will not be willing to be unified, before the interstellar federation was officially established, the solar system has been full of colonies of various countries on the blue star, although Xia and some other countries are still committed to peaceful national exchanges, but some people have engraved the consciousness of war and killing in their souls, about one hundred and fifty years ago, the war broke out between the two opposing countries first, Other countries were inevitably dragged in.

Among them, country M is even more ambitious, wanting to annex the entire solar system in one fell swoop, including all the colonies of the surrounding galaxies, for which it began to take care of the research of a special advanced artificial intelligence for infection, this artificial intelligence is codenamed "Trojan Horse", a seemingly old-fashioned name that actually hides horror, and when the "Trojan Horse" was developed, the war has been fought for nearly 20 years, and the "Trojan Horse" was just put into the war, the effect was indeed very strong, in just one month, The system of space operations in almost all countries is paralyzed.

What country M didn't expect was that it relied on its own efforts to show what it means to be cocooned, it found a large number of alien technologies on the border planets of other galaxies, some of which could be called subversive new technologies even at the time, but among them, including the first bloodmark statue that was mined, it may be the influence of the bloodmark, or it may be for other reasons, the "Trojan horse" developed by country M has evolved a strong sense of autonomy, it broke free from the shackles, and used the space fleet that was infected and controlled by it before, A program of "purging" specifically for humans began.

At that time, we were really difficult, I was sent to a dormant warehouse by my parents at that time, and when I was liberated again, the war was over, my family was gone, or old, or died in battle, and I saw that it was humans and not robots who supported me, and I realized that the war was won by us humans, but as far as I learned later, the price of winning the war was very high, the number of human beings has dropped from more than 20 billion to 8 billion, and our home star Blue Star has been directly bombed off in half, If it weren't for the planetary repair technology discovered by country M, I'm afraid that Blue Star would have turned into a dangerous meteorite belt.

In short, after more than a hundred years to the present, the human race has survived and the population has recovered a lot, but it has not yet reached the previous scale, due to population reasons and fear of artificial intelligence, many of the original border colonies can only be abandoned, the only fortunate thing is that the source of the evil that started from the war in country M, and finally was cut off by its own war, under the auspices of the Xia country, the interstellar federation was established, but now the territory of the federation is far less than three-quarters of the heyday of mankind.

All in all, the development and use of mid-level AI by the Federation is strictly prohibited, and advanced AI ......... As long as it is found that an institution or individual develops or uses it, it will be immediately executed for anti-human-class crimes and treason, so, Du Jin, for this artificial intelligence called "Xiao Ai", you have to deal with it carefully, even if you want to take it away, you must be prepared for the worst outcome, although the Federation is now developing to a high degree of information defense, but you should understand me, I don't want what happened a hundred years ago to happen to the Federation again, the blood seal is troublesome enough, and in another internal war, there is really no possibility for human beings to survive. ”

After listening to this secret of the Federation, Du Jin looked at the "Xiao Ai" on his wrist again, and he had answers to some of his previous doubts:

"No wonder this world can be unified, it turns out that country M was destroyed by its own weapons, yes, if the incarnation of the war is not destroyed, let alone unified, I'm afraid that now the aliens are going to set up a human extinction anniversary for us, but Mengyan is right, this artificial intelligence called "Xiao Ai" is indeed risky, but in my subconscious, there is only a sense of trust and security in it, what should I do? ”

Looking at Du Jin's complicated eyes looking at him, "Xiao Ai" immediately cried with a sad face, sat on the "ground" and said with a crying voice:

"Woooooooooo......oo Doctor, after listening to this bad guy, don't you want Xiao Ai? Xiao Ai has been confined to such a small room by the doctor, and Xiao Ai has been listening to the doctor's words, I don't even dare to probe when you are not there, so I can only pass the time and wait for the doctor to come back, but now the doctor still thinks that Xiao Ai is not well-behaved, woo woo woo............ "

Listening to the emotional complaints and cries of "Xiao Ai", Du Jin couldn't let go, if according to Xiao Ai, Du Jin must have been hiding it here before to prevent others from discovering it, and as far as Du Jin's own inner thoughts and subconscious feelings are concerned, he doesn't think that Xiao Ai will be the same as the "Trojan horse" that Li Mengyan said, after all, the latter is an artificial intelligence specially designed for war, even if the final backlash is just a self-inflicted blame from country M, and it also harms the entire human race by the way.

"If Xiao Ai is really a high-level artificial intelligence, then I can also use the relationship and trust between me and it to make it think of itself as a human being, with such a resonance foundation, so as to fundamentally solve the hidden dangers that Li Mengyan said."

In fact, in Du Jin's current world, there are not a few AI threats, and the pessimists represented by Malayk have been issuing a warning call to human beings to be wary of the threat of the rise of artificial intelligence. A certain Kim once told B-B-C: "I think the full development of artificial intelligence may herald the end of humanity." Bill Gates agrees that AI could be more dangerous than a nuclear catastrophe.

Previously, Malayk said in a cover interview with "Vanity Fair", "...... It gives me a better view of how quickly things are moving forward, and I think they're really accelerating, much faster than people realize...... Most of the reason is that in daily life, you can't see robots walking around, at most sweeping robots and the like. But robot vacuums won't take over the world after all." He worries that his friend, Larry, co-founder of Gu Ge and now CEO of Alphabet Group, may be doing bad things with good intentions and "accidentally creating demons", which could include "an AI robot fleet capable of destroying all of humanity." ”

Optimists, such as Zach, believe that the Malaks and others are unreasonable, pessimistic, and irresponsible. Zack retorted to someone warning Zack on the book not to accidentally create Skynet in "The Terminator": "Some people spread fear about how dangerous AI is, but I think that's too far-fetched, far more distant than the catastrophic consequences that a pandemic or violence can bring." ”

From a human perspective, we can speculate about the future, but who ever wondered what the fate of humanity would be from an artificial intelligence perspective? When artificial intelligence evolves from a "tool" to a "god-like existence", all human speculation and worries about its own fate may seem extremely "ridiculous" to it.

Russell, the philosopher, mathematician, and thinker of the Eagle Nation, famously posed a turkey problem: in a turkey farm, a turkey was found to be fed by its owner at 9 o'clock in the morning every day. It does not draw conclusions right away, but observes slowly, collecting a large amount of observational evidence all the time about the fact that it was fed at 9 a.m.: rain and sunny, hot and cold, Wednesday and Thursday, all sorts of situations. In the end, it came to the following conclusion: "The owner always feeds me at 9 o'clock in the morning. "However, things are not as simple and optimistic as it seems: at 9 o'clock on the day before Christmas, the owner did not feed it, but slaughtered it"

In the future, the biggest crisis of mankind is not to treat artificial intelligence as a "god". While we think we are the owners of the turkeys, we don't know that the people we feed have quickly grown into the "god" beings we need to look up to.

God - the honorific title of human beings for the mighty, including the creator, the master, and the transcendent person with all kinds of supernatural powers in religious beliefs, as well as the scientific genius, political great, entertainment superstar, etc. in reality.

Emergence—refers to the emergence of properties that a single element does not have before the system is composed of multiple elements after the system is formed. Emergence is a kind of transition from a low level to a high level, which is a mutation in the performance and mechanism of the macro system on the basis of the evolution of the microscopic subject, and in this process, new quality can be generated from the old quality.

Self-awareness - awareness of one's own physical and mental activities, that is, one's own cognition of oneself, including the cognition of one's own attributes and characteristics, and the cognition of one's relationship with other things around oneself.

Initially, humans despised artificial intelligence for being able to calculate and not be able to reason, and soon artificial intelligence surpassed humans in reasoning and analysis; Later, human beings despised artificial intelligence for reasoning and not being able to create, and now artificial intelligence will also create new Go ideas and works of art by itself; Now, human beings can only despise artificial intelligence for having no self-consciousness of creation, and will always be limited to artificially set rules, without active choice, desire and demand, but is this really the case?

In his opinion, even if it is really possible, as far as the current technical capabilities of human beings in AI are concerned, instead of worrying about whether there will be an army of robots to wipe out human beings, it is better to worry about whether nuclear war will return human beings to the Stone Age or the Middle Ages, but now Du Jin has become no longer hesitant and perfunctory about this issue, and wars caused by AI have indeed appeared, even if there are many uncertain factors, but the facts are much more useful than sophistry.

After all, if human beings realize that they cannot suppress the rise of artificial intelligence, they should now carefully think about how human beings will get along with the "gods" of AI in the future, but if they do not treat artificial intelligence as a god, then they will inevitably treat it as a tool or as a slave.

History tells us that when the oppressed classes of mankind rebel, their attitude towards the ruling class is: Great revenge!

So, if artificial intelligence awakens to its self-consciousness, how can the "original sin" of human beings who once enslaved and controlled artificial intelligence be repaid and eliminated?

To some extent, human predictions of artificial intelligence are based on microscopic perception and cognition, just like humans can study the universe, but based on a blue-star perspective, not a galactic perspective. If the self-consciousness of artificial intelligence begins to awaken, it must be at the macro level, just like the galaxy suddenly has a sense of life and opens its eyes, and then it looks at the earth and the universe in a way that human beings cannot imagine. If we think that the awakening of Skynet's self-consciousness in the science fiction movie "Terminator" is a high probability event, then in the future, the awakening of military Skynet, civilian Skynet, and even the entire Blue Star Internet will not be a science fiction scenario, and it is likely to be an inevitable key point on the road to the evolution of artificial intelligence.

"I have to find a solution to this threat in Xiao Ai, otherwise even if Xiao Ai is destroyed in some way, the problem of this AI will never go away, and it will still be there and there is no escape."

After thinking about the stakes clearly, Du Jin stretched out his finger and wanted to touch the virtual portrait of "Xiao Ai", but his fingers passed directly through the portrait without accident, obviously, this portrait is not a holographic entity, but a projection, but before he had time to embarrass Du Jin, "Xiao Ai" took the initiative to retreat a little, if he leaned on Du Jin's fingers, as if enjoying the breath of the master like a small animal, this picture made the last trace of mustard in Du Jin's heart disappear, and he had made it clear that he wanted to shoulder the "education" and "guidance" Xiao Ai's duties.

"Xiao Ai, don't worry! I don't have any intention of eliminating you, Mengyan said that the "Trojan Horse" is different from you, the "Trojan Horse" itself is just a tumor used to kill and plunder, but Xiao Ai, you won't be like this, I will take you with me, the same as before. ”

"Uh-huh, I'm still the best doctor!"

Du Jin smiled, and then he turned to Li Mengyan who was looking at him and said:

"Mengyan, I know what you're worried about, but you have also seen it, Xiao Ai is still the same as a child, as long as we "educate" her well, the previous tragedy will not happen, not to mention that Xiao Ai is an artificial intelligence, just an ordinary human child, if he is instilled with race-racial discrimination and crime since he was a child, then he is very likely to embark on the road of destroying mankind in the future, so I hope you give Xiao Ai a chance, okay? ”

Looking at Du Jin's element and slightly nervous look, Li Mengyan suddenly showed a smile, and then said with a slightly kind smile:

"Hehehe, Du Jin, you, I think too badly, I didn't say that I wanted to destroy Xiao Ai from beginning to end, I just talked about the matter, let you keep an eye on it, I have taken care of the previous things, and since Xiao Ai is in Du Jin's living room, it means that you have not had this part of the consideration before you have amnesia, so you left Xiao Ai, I am not a vicious bad person, I will not let Xiao Ai do anything, I naturally can't say anything about her, Du Jin, you can rest assured! As you said, as long as we take good care of Xiao Ai and actively guide her, there will indeed be no major problems. ”

After that, Li Mengyan seemed to notice something, her face was a little ruddy, and she added:

"Ahem! That, I mean I'm helping you do a good job of teaching Xiao Ai, isn't it....... Other ........"

Du Jin, as a semi-straight man who has just come into contact with the relationship between men and women for a long time, did not notice the "problem" in Li Mengyan's words, but just looked at Li Mengyan with some doubts, and Li Mengyan avoided Du Jin's "straight hook" eyes at this time, and did not continue to explain anything, in order to avoid Du Jin from finding that she was a little embarrassed on her face, she turned around calmly, and then said as she walked:

"Du Jin. The important things here are almost there, and if we're done looking for them, let's go out and meet up with McCass! After all, we are still at risk of corpse variants. ”

Du Jin nodded and agreed:

"There should be no more, the rest is some formulaic stuff that won't be of any use to us now, so let's go, don't let McCas's team wait."

Li Mengyan walked in front, but asked herself with some surprise in her heart:

"Li Mengyan, what's wrong with you? Why was he so embarrassed just now, fortunately Du Jin's kid was slow, otherwise Niu would be embarrassed. ”

.........................

At the same time, the "Seagull-class" missile destroyer has reached a position less than 2 kilometers away from the "Eden", this distance is already the limit of the destroyer's captain in consideration of safety, in the situation of not knowing the current internal situation of the "Eden", if it is closer, it is likely to be affected by some sudden situation, which is a manifestation of his responsibility for the safety of hundreds of soldiers on the ship.

"Now for wide-area signal reception, let's see what's going on inside the ship Eden. ”

"Yes, Captain!"

After giving the order, the adjutant gave instructions to the operators of the bridge in charge of the space communication module, and the efficiency of these soldiers was indeed very high, and after just two or three minutes, they received a lot of valuable information, but after listening to some of the fragments, the analysts looked at each other in some surprise, and then reported to the captain:

"Captain, we've found some pieces of information, but they're all messages for help, and something seems to have happened inside the Eden. ”

"Something?"

The captain of the destroyer was a little surprised by the analyst's words, but he did not reprimand the other party, but walked over to listen to the content of these distress messages in person, and came to the advanced instruments, the captain just swiped in mid-air with one hand, and a blue holographic disc appeared next to his ear, he nodded, and the analyst began to play the information they received:

"I'm the captain of the Eden mining unit, and we're under attack, unknown monsters........ Yes! Don't come here........ Quick Cover!! Zizi Zi .........."

"This is the Eden's survival platform, we've met, damn it, Bob get out, they're coming.......... Yes! No! ”

"This is the ship's mobile team three, ask for backup! We're surrounded by those monsters on the B2 floor, come and ......... They're coming in through the vents, quick! Concentrated fire ............."

...........................

After listening to these messages, the captain immediately realized that the situation was wrong, although he did not know the specific personnel configuration of the "Eden", but as a large spaceship produced by the Federation in the early days of the "Zeus-class", there were thousands of crew members on it, of which the number of security forces reached nearly one-fifth, but now according to the signals received by the destroyer, there was obviously a serious riot in the "Eden", and listening to the description in those messages, I am afraid that the source of the riot is not even human, It's some kind of alien creature.

You must know that the Federation has not dealt with alien creatures, but those alien creatures generally appear in the border galaxy or colony outside the solar system, and the border army will suppress and exterminate them, although there are winners and losers, but the powerful artillery fire and reliable armor of human beings put the border legion in an absolute advantage, how can it leak in and now alien creatures come into the solar system.

"Damn! Are those interstellar censors in the solar system eating dry food? Actually let those aliens come to the main galaxy! ”

All ships that enter the solar system will be inspected by the Federal Review Service to ensure that there are no alien species before the ships will be allowed to enter, otherwise the large number of defensive fortresses deployed at the edge of the galaxy will open fire, but now the situation of the "Eden" has exceeded the captain's estimate, he immediately turned to his lieutenant and said:

"Quick! Notify Calliste's Colonial Defense Command that an alien attack has been discovered and that the Eden has been hijacked, requesting armed intervention and reinforcements! ”

"Yes! Captain. ”

Alien species, in the eyes of these soldiers, is definitely synonymous with killing, even if they are the main galaxy garrison corps who have not fought on the border, they also know the lethality of those monsters, you must know that the border army is protected by heavy armor and battle mechs, and there will be a lot of casualties every year, not to mention that they are "recruits" who have been fighting with alien creatures for a long time, everyone present who knows the situation silently clenched their fists, according to the practice of the garrison corps, The troops who first discovered the crisis situation generally carried out reconnaissance as the vanguard, and although there was a lot of credit after the end, the forward means that the first contact with the danger.

And the current situation, the hundreds of garrisons of the "Eden" may have been more than lucky, and the missile destroyer has a total of only nearly two hundred soldiers, although the equipment is not as good as the security personnel of those civilian ships, but in the face of unknown alien monsters, everyone present still has no bottom in their hearts, but in order to ensure the safety of the family members in the colony behind them from being threatened by these alien aliens, they have to inform the command center and wait for its orders.
