Chapter 17 The First Step of Brain-like Intelligence
On June 17, 15, in Shuguang Building, Chen Xi, who was racking his brains in the office, heard a dull knock on the door.
He casually crossed out a few pieces of waste from his notebook, then put on his hearing aids, "Please come in." ”
Ms. Say walked in and put a United Nations document on the table, "Sir, they hope that you can use Dawning Technology's games, movies, and TV series to spread the values of human civilization defeating the three-body civilization and achieving victory. ”
"What happens if I don't agree?"
"They said they would send troops to take over Dawn."
Chen Xi grinned helplessly and said, "A group of robbers, okay, let me think about it..."
"In this way, the script of the Wandering Earth III: In order to intercept the pursuit of the Trimaran Fleet, the coalition government restarted the artificial intelligence MOSS, and poured all its global efforts to build 2,000 stellar warships, and 200,000 soldiers volunteered to die to block the fleet of the Trimaran Civilization, and finally died with it, a tragic victory."
If it becomes a reality, it is estimated that the new version of the Spring Festival will be 2,000 rings.
"The Wandering Earth Four, without the hindrance of Zhizi, hundreds of years of development, two wheels of technology explosion, human science has achieved incomparably brilliant results, and the latest warship even has a fantastic speed of light navigation technology, so the coalition government decided to return to the sea and recapture the home on which mankind depends."
If it were reality, the Trisolarans would have caught up a long time ago and used superweapons, such as singularity bombs, to bring humanity and the earth together.
"There are two main lines of Wandering Four, the first is the Earth turn, and the second is that the Lightspeed Fleet will set off for war first."
"I'm making a TV series, talking about the humanistic changes of human beings wandering for hundreds of years, inserting some ETO elements to sabotage the old-fashioned plot, and if you play games, you can play with repairs, defend planetary engines, or the cosmic war with the three-body civilization."
"The old rule is that there is no personal heroism, there must be elements of a coalition government..."
Chen Xi talked a lot bit about it.
Say jotted them down one by one, and then said, "The second thing, the analysis camera has arrived, and according to your request, it has been placed in the computer department. ”
"yes, I see.
After thinking about it, Chen Xi said again: "Ms. Say, can I trouble you with one thing, help me dig up Dr. Ding Yi, I heard that he has recently turned to theoretical physics research, trying to find a way to get rid of the interference of intelligent particles in high-energy particle experiments." ”
"Yes, but there are very few people who support his research, because theoretical physics research is too resource-intensive, and it is impossible to get results now."
"That feeling is good, let's just say that Sugon Technology is willing to support his research, although it can't get much resources."
……
After obtaining the analysis camera, Chen Xi happily began his research: using chips and algorithms to simulate the movement of neurons.
With the help of the camera, people can see all the movements of neurons, and Wei Cheng and his team spent more than two years to figure out the movement algorithm of neurons.
Based on structure, neurons can be broadly divided into four categories: unipolar, multipolar, bipolar, and pseudo-unipolar neurons.
Chen Xi asked the researchers to do this: first, the neuronal chip must be able to perfectly simulate the four structures of neurons, and the structures can be switched according to needs, so that the future brain-like host can deploy different and required simulated neurons, and can perfectly run the matching motion algorithm.
Second, the chip must be small enough to fit into a thin smartphone and be able to operate a wide variety of smart electronic devices remotely with the highest privilege.
The second requirement is simple and difficult, because the technical problems are easy to solve, and the difficulty is that it is not easy to pass the approval of governments because of privacy and other issues.
However, this is a minor issue compared to artificial intelligence.
The two requirements add up, but they stumped the engineers under Chen Xi: the chip is small, and the memory must not be much bigger.
Even if the ontology of the four motion algorithms is not running, the amount of data is no less than that of a smartphone's operating system, and once it is running, the generated data can fill a hard disk of several hundred gigabytes in half an hour.
Chen Xi hated the iron and scolded: "Stupid, let you study the new generation of data transmission technology, distributed computing technology, cloud storage technology, isn't this just for this?" ”
"In the future, the building will be full of chips, some responsible for storage, some responsible for computing, separate computing and storage, and the neuronal chip can simply be bound to data transmission."
In the 17th year of the Crisis Era, neuronal chips were born, the small ones are only the size of the fingernails of the little thumb, and the big ones are the size of the palms, the former is installed on small electronic devices, and the latter is the basic unit structure of the supercomputer and the neuronal brain.
Fortunately, Keiko Shan was still busy with the algorithm, and after learning that Chen Xi had a chip, she used it directly.
……
In an experimental park of Dawning Technology, brain-like learning experiments began.
The volunteers wore a metal hood with cryogenic liquid helium and superconducting coils inside, which was simply an MRI machine, but it was far more advanced than that.
He then began to write, analyzing the movements of neurons in the volunteers' brains captured by the camera in milliseconds, which were processed by the computer to form a neuronal network model that could be analyzed and studied by brain scientists.
Due to computing problems, it took a week for the computer to process the information captured by the camera, and then the brain scientists fed the movement information of the neurons into the brain.
The process took a month, but it failed because the brain was so small, with only a million simulated neurons, compared to nearly 100 billion neurons in the human brain.
They can't do it, they can only guess which neuronal movements are the movements that occur when writing, and eliminate them little by little.
This is an incomparably huge workload, and Chen Xi did not want to waste his limited life, so he chose to hibernate for two years.
In 18 years, the Dawning Brain controlled the mechanical arm and wrote a line crookedly.
Brain scientists and computer scientists have realized that as long as the neuronal movement information corresponding to the behavior is accurately input into the brain, and the translation system is good enough, the brain-like can perfectly reproduce the behavior corresponding to the neuronal movement, and it can do what people can do, no matter how complex.
A translation system is software that converts analog neural signals from analog neurons into digital signals that machines can understand.
With a slight upgrade, there's an application that doesn't have much utility for the time being – true 'human' artificial intelligence: parsing the camera to capture the wearer's neuronal activity and convert it into a digital signal that is sent to the machine, which responds.
It has no practical value because the parsing camera is too large and cumbersome, and the translator only records the translation of the neuronal activity when one of the eight billion people writes certain words, and there is no universal applicability.
In 19 years, major breakthroughs have been made in computer technology, computing power is 10,000 times stronger than before, traditional silicon-based chips have come to an end, but there are still photonic computers in their infancy.
Countries are building a new generation of supercomputers, and Dawning Technology is the same, countries see the potential of brain-like intelligence, and give a lot of resources, technology and manpower to support it.
