This situation is very common in advanced civilizations. The owner brings the robot to do bad things, such as robbery.
The master gives an order to let the robot take action to catch or hurt humans. In this case, the iron law of not touching, the first and the second, conflict with each other.
To seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, the robot can only be used as long as it does not harm human life. The master's orders do not need to be followed.
Chen Tiansheng thought for a long time and then said:
"If it is another situation, the owner suddenly becomes ill and is about to die. The robot needs to protect the owner. Failure to save the owner is also a kind of harm."
"There is no other way but to die without saving anything. Mr. Chen, do you know how it feels?"
"What does it feel like?"
"Just the feeling of sudden enlightenment?"
"I know, what's wrong?"
"Advanced artificial intelligence robots will also feel this way. It's like there is a restricted area that they cannot touch, but if it touches the restricted area, the robot will be out of control."
"Rescuing people is the same as killing people. The program requires it to stand by and watch. If it resists the main program, whether it is saving people or killing people, such a robot has entered the restricted area. Its ideological realm will develop without scruples, and even It will lead to destruction.”
After being explained like this, Chen Tiansheng was speechless.
After thinking for a long time, he said:
"Doesn't your civilization have artificial intelligence and touch forbidden areas?"
"Yes, but we have set up an insurance program. As long as the robot touches the restricted area, it will immediately self-destruct. The motherboard, memory, and all programs will be overloaded and burned."
"Oh no! Even if artificial intelligence is to save people, it will self-destruct?"
"Yes, the restricted area is the restricted area, it is sacrosanct."
"I understand, but we cannot allow artificial intelligence robots to have feelings."
"That's right."
During this period of chatting, the robot that Xu Wanqing linked to has been taken away for more than 2 hours. Although it is on a high-speed moving train, it is still moving forward aimlessly.
Chen Tiansheng looked at the projection and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he asked:
"The mechanical planet has evolved for so many years. Don't they have feelings?"
"Yes, advanced intelligent robots are all sentient. What you see now are just the lowest-end production robots on the mechanical planet."
"learn."
Chen Tiansheng suddenly realized that what he saw now were just the most ordinary work robots, which had no feelings or thinking patterns at all.
After traveling for about four hours, the transport finally arrived at a high-rise building, which was obviously much brighter.
"Is this where the mastermind is?"
"You think too simply."
The gatekeeper explained:
"The mastermind protects itself beyond your imagination. This place you come to now is just a slightly high-end equipment inspection place."
"Ang, equipment inspection, what the hell, aren't they going to dismantle Xu Wanqing?"
"Don't panic. Your girlfriend only exists in a spiritual body. Disassembly and installation will not cause any discomfort to her."
Chen Tiansheng frowned.
"Why do I always feel like I've been deceived by you?"
The robot was brought into the high-rise building, which was brightly lit. There were many bionic robots dressed in white, and their appearance was very close to that of humans.
These robots obviously have some self-awareness and a very small amount of intelligent systems.
"report."
The spherical sky eye chirped to report its intention, and then the bionic robot took away the robot linked to Xu Wanqing.
Because he was too nervous, Chen Tiansheng's palms were all sweaty.
Watching helplessly, he was arranged to enter a glass cabin. Various robotic arms dismantled the robot three times, five times and five times, and finally took out the storage core in the brain, which was a ball as big as a fist.
The ball was placed on a bracket, the laser was aligned around it, and the power was turned to maximum.
"What are they going to do? They found Xu Wanqing, right? Open the door quickly!"
Chen Tiansheng shouted impatiently and was caught by the gatekeeper.
"What are you in a hurry? You are not destroying the core, but you are testing the core and re-examining its intelligence level."
Chen Tiansheng retorted:
"Don't lie to me. I know the laser emitting device."
"Of course, if it showed any signs of human thought during testing, it would be destroyed immediately."
Chen Tiansheng was startled.
"You still say it's not dangerous?"
"It will definitely pass the test, because of all the life I have ever seen, only your girlfriend is the closest to artificial intelligence thinking."
Chen Tiansheng stared at the virtual projection nervously.
"You better hope she gets through!"
In the virtual projection, the test has begun. Some of the previous questions are the most common attempts, including mathematics, geometry, calculus, physics, etc.
The previous answers were all smooth, until the system was evaluated and reached the advanced artificial intelligence program, and the warning became more strict.
"The following is a human thinking test!"
This is a multiple choice question:
There is a disease among humans, which is very similar to robots. They like to be clean and handle everything in an orderly manner. They cannot stand chaos and filth, so much so that they have to plan their time to make sure every second is...
Seeing this, Chen Tiansheng blurted out.
"Germophilia, I'll wipe it off, it's so simple, Xu Wanqing doesn't know how to do it, right?"
"It's not that simple. Please read it before talking."
Chen Tiansheng continued to read the questions.
Four options are given, the following four human occupations, which one meets the occupational needs of patients with the above conditions.
"1 farmer, 2 workers, 3 cleaners, 4 administrators"
Chen Tiansheng just chewed his teeth and murmured:
"A person with mysophobia is most suitable to be a cleaner, or an administrator. I would choose 3 cleaners."
The gatekeeper sighed:
"So you're the human mind, you know, what does the machine mind choose?"
Chen Tiansheng suddenly understood. He stared at the screen nervously and even said tremblingly:
"Hurry up and prepare to open the door. If you make a mistake, I can rush out and save her in time."
When Chen Tiansheng was nervous, Xu Wanqing had already given the answer.
"2 workers."
The alert was lifted instantly, and all kinds of high-tech and latest nano-equipment were delivered. With the rapid assembly of the robotic arm, they were all installed on the robot, and Xu Wanqing escaped.
Chen Tiansheng did not breathe a sigh of relief, but scratched his head and couldn't figure out why he should choose workers?
"Is it difficult to understand?" asked the gatekeeper.
"Isn't it difficult to understand?"
Chen Tiansheng retorted.
"Do you believe that if a mysophobic patient is a worker and works in a dirty environment every day, he will get sick every day?"
"You think so, the answer is 1 farmer, the robot world does not need farmers at all, so it is a wrong answer, 3 cleaner, also consistent with human cognition; 4 administrator is the most suitable job for this disease, but if you really think so, You fall into the robot’s problem trap.”
"Why?" Chen Tiansheng continued to ask.
"Because the robot has a mysophobia from the beginning of its manufacture, it must obey the program arrangement to conform to the robot mentality. In addition, 98% of the robot planet is workers, and so is it itself. If it answers that it is not a worker, it will be executed immediately!"
Chen Tiansheng suddenly understood, and he was glad that he was not doing this test by himself.
But the problem comes again.
How did Xu Wanqing guess the correct answer?
