Chapter 370: Dangerous Critical Body (1)

"You just let them go? I thought you'd get rid of them. ”

Bryce, who was in the car, was slightly surprised by Lille's decision, and he thought that Lille would kill the outsiders.

"We don't have a personal vendetta, and I don't have any problem with regional discrimination, so we want to exterminate all outsiders."

Lille got into the Dramain taxi and felt a little delicate.

In the field of civilian taxis, Delamain has completely monopolized the market in Night City, becoming the only option for this unflattering market.

The last time Lille used this service was in the city center, when he called a car for Mann and his team to escape.

The subtle reason is that Draman is a real AI.

"Welcome to the Dlaman service, Mr. Hamburg."

Delaman's large head appeared on the electronic screen in front of the seat.

The model is the standard model of Dellaman, an elongated business sedan adapted from the Villefort Cortis, with a spacious and comfortable interior.

Lille sat in the back row and greeted Draman: "Where is the destination?" ”

"You've ordered a tour around Night City, and the trip will follow the predetermined route all the way to the City of Night City and then return to your designated location."

"Sightseeing?" Lille looked at Bryce, "What do you mean, my time is precious." ”

Bryce's old face darkened: "What do you think!" Aren't you curious why Night City has a company run by AI? ”

"You know? I thought you didn't know. ”

"Hehe, are you underestimating network surveillance a little too much? We know that this company is completely controlled by AI. ”

"Why on earth is that?"

Lille listened.

This is indeed something he is curious about.

Because in the original work, Delamain had signs that he was about to evolve his self-consciousness.

And such AI, known in the terminology of cyber surveillance, is different from the first type of AI that Lille has already come into contact with.

Theoretically, the LAN that Delamain connects to in order to provide services should also have a black wall.

When he becomes self-conscious, the black wall should be sanitized.

"In the confrontation with Arasaka, you have come into contact with the first type of AI, which is the soul killer-

To be precise, it's the personality imprints that are replicated using soul killers, and these data are slightly different from humans like us, essentially a bunch of data, a bunch of programs, a bunch of programs that simulate human emotions, memories, and feelings.

This is the first type of AI, which we call digital souls. ”

Arasaka has developed a high-level service based on Soul Slayer, "Protect Your Soul".

It's a very expensive business, and using a soul killer on a customer's deceased relatives will give you a "soul mark" that is almost indistinguishable from the customer, stored in a special server in Arasaka.

When a customer misses a loved one who has passed away, these imprints are called up from the server for the customer to express their thoughts.

But no matter how Arasaka advertises the technology, technically, these digital souls are AI.

These AIs, the black wall's control of them is in a very delicate range, and judging from the information we have now, the black wall cannot control the operation of the soul killer, and may also ignore some digital souls.

"The second category is even more special." Bryce pointed to the smiling old man on the screen, "If one day this AI becomes self-aware, we will call it a dangerous critical body."

The streaming AI we usually talk about is this category, and it is difficult to see such AI in the world nowadays, but in the old Internet era, there were many of them.

So we're going to post a long-term bounty like this and let the bounty hunter help with it.

This type of AI is very harmful. ”

The vehicle was driving right onto the bridge leading to Heywood.

From here, you can see the high-speed light rail train passing through the sky, which runs from the H7 skyscraper in Santo Domingo all the way to the medical center in Watson's North District, and across the north and south of Night City.

"See Line 1? The rail transit system, which transports more than 5 million passengers every day, assumes that the system fails, and the economic losses caused by it are immeasurable - at least Yeshi Group is certainly not acceptable.

And problems in the high-speed train system are likely to cost the lives of a whole car, which was not uncommon in the old network period. ”

Thanks to Yeshi Group's advanced controllable AI technology, Night City's public transportation system is driverless.

All the city's public facilities belong to the Yeshi Group's public domain, and if an AI is curious or for some other reason, a high-speed rail train can stop running, overspeed, or even derail and collide.

This kind of mistake is almost inevitable.

"The creation of a dangerous critical body is closer to a natural formation, and generally speaking, a dangerous critical body, even the lowest, has a network level of more than 95% of hackers.

If you talk about the average. Their cyber technology outweighs 99.9% of cyber hackers. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to Dlaman: "This is the worst group of AI network technology, but he is not really a dangerous critical body yet." ”

Delaman immediately responded:

"I don't know what you're talking about, Delamain is not involved in the cybersecurity business, the Delamain Group is a company dedicated to providing quality taxi services to Night City"

Ignoring Lao De's explanation, Bryce said again: "What he said is true, but it still optimizes the humans in the company through various means.

The company's executives didn't sit idly by in the process, but the hackers they hired were completely unable to fight it in cyberspace.

We can only watch as all the means of production of the company get out of control, and eventually lose ownership in law.

These things are active on the Internet, and the false information produced is difficult to directly identify even online surveillance.

It's clear that the AI is taking advantage of Europe's stuffing of people in this area. ”

Again, Delaman explained:

"Delaman's internal optimization process is completely legal and compliant, and the company has undergone a lengthy overhaul to reduce costs."

Bryce said angrily, "Can you shut up?" Now for the private talks! ”

"Understood, Delaman will provide you with a quiet and comfortable meeting experience."

A burst of soft music sounded, so subtle that it barely interfered with the conversation, and the car slowed down.

Delaman's human figure also disappeared from the electronic screen, and the atmosphere inside the car became more professional.

Lille was in a delicate mood - so the cyber surveillance didn't just know about the Dlamain company, but even followed it for a long time.

"Solved" the big problem of Dlaman, Bryce goes on to add:

"The birth of such AIs is entirely based on coincidence, but most of the time, they originated from software or programs that humans use to process transactions.

Delaman is one such AI, and his company wanted to customize a management AI that would be used to improve the company's competitiveness.

But users have profited from Dlarman's advice time and time again by opening up higher privileges, and eventually the AI believes that there should be no humans in the company, which will increase costs.

As a result, it fired all workers and management, and even used a series of business tactics to drive out shareholders and directors.

When it receives enough external stimuli. It has the probability of having true autonomous intelligence and consciousness, and at that time, it will become a dangerous critical body.

The timing is completely unpredictable, and at the moment, it is impossible for humans to understand such a process of change. ”

"Like the first cells in an ancient ocean?"

"Yes." Bryce nodded in affirmation of Lille's analogy, "It's all natural, and that's what we're dealing with." ”

"Then why did you let Drumman open a company?"

The question was raised, and the car was still running smoothly.

The question is almost asking: why not kill Draman, but Lao De did not react at all.

It can be said that he is very professional, and he will shut up when he says shut up.

Bryce rubbed his brow and said to Drumman, "The rest of the words are not allowed to be recorded, citing articles 3, 17 and 22 of the Privacy Policy. ”

"Got it, the taxi's recording function has been turned off and detects any surveillance devices that may be present for you."

"If." Bryce looked at Lille, "If a biologist had had the opportunity to observe how the first life was born, would he have continued to do so, or would it have turned into a scary creature or some kind of virus that smashed the petri dish first?" ”

Lille bowed slightly: "If it were me, I would observe the process of the birth of life in order to understand those terrifying creatures and some kind of virus." ”

"That's it." Bryce smiled slightly, "You see, you've got it — it's because we don't understand that we want to observe the process." ”
