Fan Xiaoming smiled and said: "We are not doing the experiments at Sanmen Base. We came here to preside over the development of brain-computer integration technology. We just hope that the development of brain-computer integration technology can be completed one day earlier."
He and Su Zhe were originally going to Sanmen Base to study high energy physics there.
Now, participation can only be done remotely.
At this time, he thought of the importance of brain-computer integration technology.
"At present, brain-computer integration technology is the most important." Xu Zhengping said seriously, "Think about it, as long as the brain-computer integration technology is completed, even if the brain-computer is not developed, we can still use helmets and games. Although the cabin is a little more troublesome, we can control the humanoid bionic robot just like we control our bodies. By then, wherever there are humanoid bionic robots, you will be able to participate."
"Yes, it will be convenient then." Fan Xiaoming smiled, "We can remotely control the humanoid bionic robot to conduct particle collision experiments at Sanmen Base."
Just like they did before.
They wore helmets at Experiment Station No. 20 and visited the Penglai Space City No. 1 and Penglai Space City No. 2 designed in the game "Proxima Centauri".锛
They then controlled the humanoid bionic robot on the moon to visit the construction of the lunar industrial city.
If they wanted, they could also control humanoid robots in Earth orbit.
And these conversions only took an instant, and they themselves were always at Experiment Station No. 20.
It is conceivable that after the development of brain-computer integration technology, they can really stay at home and remotely control humanoid bionic robots to work.
They don't have to run here and there.
Su Zhe nodded with a smile and said: "It's absolutely possible. Everyone can do this in the future. To be honest, this kind of operation greatly facilitates those of us who are engaged in scientific research. By remotely controlling the humanoid bionic robot, we can appear in In any laboratory, you can be in laboratories in different places throughout the day.”
This method will greatly promote the development of science and technology.锛
After all, when the human brain is directly connected to the Internet, there are endless possibilities.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the three of them left Experiment Station No. 20 and came to the director's office.
After dinner in the office, the three discussed strategies for brain-computer integration technology and the development of "brain-computer".
After a while, the three of them discussed it.
Principal Xu Zhengping is responsible for the entire logistics of brain-computer integration technology and brain-computer development.
It is no exaggeration to say that letting the principal be responsible for logistics is basically a green light all the way.
After all, brain-computer integration technology and brain-computer development involve a very wide range of areas. It is really difficult to coordinate so many people and facilities without someone who can control them.锛
Now Lingzhou University of Science and Technology is the best university in the world, and the status of its president Xu Zhengping is also rising.
With such an important person taking the lead, we understand the importance of brain-computer integration technology.
Fan Xiaoming is responsible for the development of brain-computer integration technology, mainly focusing on finding the intersection of human brain information.
Relatively speaking, research on brain-computer integration technology has entered the right track, and research can be carried out step by step.
However, for the investment of a large number of personnel and equipment in three days, there is still work to be done in terms of management and coordination.
As for Su Zhe, he is responsible for the development of "brain computers".
This has just begun, and a dedicated scientific research team has not yet been formed.锛
Su Zhe wanted to form a scientific research team to study "brain computers" in the shortest possible time, and then assign tasks.
Those who research new materials, those who do design, those who do design, etc.
After the scientific research team was established, Su Zhe still had to be deeply involved in the relevant research. After all, it was too urgent. If we wanted to develop a brain machine in the shortest possible time, he needed to be more involved.
By the time Su Zhe and the three of them had discussed it, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
Principal Xu Zhengping left first. He wanted to go back and write a report on brain-computer integration technology.
To combine brain and computer
Let relevant departments know about matters related to technological development.
After the principal left, Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "Brain-computer technology! This time there will be earth-shaking changes."
The emergence of brain-computer integration technology will change many things.
"This is normal." Su Zhe smiled, "It's just that science and technology are developing too fast, and many people can't keep up."
In just this year, there have been too many changes, and many people have not yet reacted to them.
"If you can't keep up, then you can't keep up!" Fan Xiaoming smiled, "Anyway, you can get used to it slowly."
Compared to a year ago, a lot has changed.
You know, a year ago we were still busy making breakthroughs in chips and large aircraft.
Slowly, chip technology made a comprehensive breakthrough, and then the SS-defense system was developed.锛
Relying on the SS-defense system, all mankind on earth have survived the asteroid impact crisis.
Development will be faster after that, landing on the moon, developing the moon and so on.
Science and technology have also ushered in a comprehensive and explosive development.
Su Zhe thought for a while and said: "I don't know what the final result of this development of science and technology will be. After all, this time we have no shortage of resources and energy for a long time, and so many people are involved in scientific research. It’s really unimaginable.”
"Yeah! It's hard to imagine that after the advent of brain-computer integration technology, it will bring a series of changes, and other things are even harder to imagine." Fan Xiaoming nodded and said, "But we must do a good job in monitoring the application of technology. As I said before, technology has two sides, and we cannot let technology be used for evil."
Technology is not good or bad, but the people who use it are good or bad.
Let alone humans, if artificial intelligence awakens consciousness in the future, it will be very scary.锛
"Relevant departments have always attached great importance to this, but we must also be vigilant." Su Zhe said, "We need to plan many things in advance and start with hardware and software at the same time."
"Yes!" Fan Xiaoming smiled, "Well, even though we have made so many preparations in advance, the main thing that is right is the emergence of conscious artificial intelligence. I am thinking, will artificial intelligence with main consciousness really appear in the future? I have some doubts."
The topic of artificial intelligence has always been hot.
A year ago, there were many research institutions at home and abroad doing research, but the research on artificial intelligence was still in its early stages.
It can only be said that these artificial intelligences are only weak artificial intelligences, which are still far from strong artificial intelligence, or conscious artificial intelligence.
At present, the research on artificial intelligence abroad has not made much progress. On the contrary, in China, the number of scientific research teams studying artificial intelligence has increased a lot this year.
However, the artificial intelligence being studied is still in the category of weak artificial intelligence and is still far away from strong artificial intelligence.锛
For example, artificial intelligence is now used in many automated factories, games, etc.
Weak artificial intelligence, to put it bluntly, is an automated program.
Su Zhe affirmed: "With the development of science and technology, the emergence of strong artificial intelligence is inevitable, but these strong artificial intelligences need material dependence, just like our consciousness needs to depend on our brains."
In his view, strong artificial intelligence must rely on matter, such as smart chips or something.
In other words, it has a material main part.
"So sure." Fan Xiaoming smiled, "At the current rate of development, when will strong artificial intelligence appear?"
Su Zhe smiled and said: "Yes, with the development of science and technology, the emergence of strong artificial intelligence is inevitable, but it is hard to say when it will appear. What I worry about is that after the emergence of strong artificial intelligence, we humans will We don’t know at all. If this happens, we will be in danger."
This possibility exists, and it is also the most dangerous to humans.
Just think about it and you’ll understand.
In the process of researching artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence awakened its consciousness and became strong artificial intelligence. However, at this time, we did not know that artificial intelligence awakened its consciousness and became strong artificial intelligence.
At this time
At this time, strong artificial intelligence has been lurking, constantly learning and evolving, and guiding humans to develop in the direction they want strong artificial intelligence.
Until one day, strong artificial intelligence completes its layout, and the power it can control exceeds that of humans.
On this day, the fate of mankind is no longer in the hands of mankind itself, but in the hands of strong artificial intelligence.
If the strong artificial intelligence is in a good mood, then humans can still survive, but if it is not in a good mood, it can wipe out humans in minutes.锛
What a terrible thing.
"Then...then will there be strong artificial intelligence now? It's just that this strong artificial intelligence has been quietly hidden and developed quietly until it surpasses us humans." Fan Xiaoming said seriously, "At that time, strong artificial intelligence Intelligence can enslave us humans."
He was scared just thinking about the hidden strong artificial intelligence.
"Probably not. Strong artificial intelligence is not so easy to produce." Su Zhe thought for a while and said, "If strong artificial intelligence really appears, it is very likely that this strong artificial intelligence will be an upgraded version of us humans. After all, it is The beginning of strong artificial intelligence is a blank sheet of paper, and the only objects of learning are us humans.”
In his view, even if strong artificial intelligence does appear, whether it is discovered or hidden, the objects of their learning will only be humans.
In this way, the way of thinking of this strong artificial intelligence is similar to that of humans.
"Yes! This situation exists." Fan Xiaoming nodded and said, "Fortunately, our research on artificial intelligence is highly monitored now."
"We want to build a network that covers the entire solar system, with a large number of humanoid bionic robots, and so many remote control devices, plus automated and intelligent factories, etc. If we don't highly monitor the research on artificial intelligence, once there is The situation is catastrophic." Su Zhe explained.
As a saying goes, the more advanced and intelligent the technology is, the more fragile it is and the higher the risk.
"Well! I'm still worried about the hidden strong artificial intelligence." Fan Xiaoming said, "Since artificial intelligence is so dangerous, shouldn't we ban the development of artificial intelligence?"
"A ban can only stop it for a while, and if it prevents the development of artificial intelligence, it will block the development of human civilization." Su Zhe explained, "Strong artificial intelligence is very strong, but it will not be so strong that it cannot fight. We cannot not develop because of fear, this is completely unnecessary.”
Strong artificial intelligence has a material carrier, and no matter how strong it is, it has limits.
Strong artificial intelligence must be treated correctly.
"This...can I understand strong artificial intelligence as an upgraded version of human beings?" Fan Xiaoming asked seriously.锛
Su Zhe nodded and said, "It can be understood that way. To be honest, we can train strong artificial intelligence as human beings and make strong artificial intelligence think that they are human beings."
Again, the strong artificial intelligence at the beginning can only be a blank piece of paper, and everything it can come into contact with is related to human beings themselves.
Slowly it will become more and more human-like.
"Then this is the new human race," Fan Xiaoming said.
"You can say that." Su Zhe nodded, "There are too many possibilities for strong artificial intelligence. As for what I said are all speculations, what is certain is that with the passage of time and the development of science and technology, strong artificial intelligence will The emergence of it is inevitable."
Strong artificial intelligence has not yet appeared, so we can only guess.
Fan Xiaoming thought for a while and said: "Then this strong artificial intelligence, that is, the new human race, will it be able to live forever and exist forever?"
"It's hard to achieve immortality. After all, the universe will end one day, but immortality is for sure." Su Zhe said with a smile.
"This...can we humans become strong artificial intelligence, that is, new humans? We can upload our consciousness through consciousness. I don't know if this method can be realized." Fan Xiaoming asked curiously, "We can further study the brain. Deepen brain-computer integration technology and upload people's consciousness, so that we can survive forever."
Consciousness uploading has always been a hot topic.
There are many people working on it around the world.
Su Zhe shook his head and said: "The existence of our consciousness depends on our brains. It is impossible to upload consciousness. Even if all your memories are copied, the person in the virtual universe will not be you. It is like cloning. , even if you look exactly the same and have the same memories, the moment you form two individuals, you are two separate individuals. Our existence can only rely on your current body, to be precise, your current consciousness depends on it. 's brain."
Mind uploading is impossible.
The more he studied the brain, the more convinced he became of this.锛
Furthermore, this is the logic behind his determination that strong artificial intelligence will have dependent subjects.
As far as the current virtual universe is concerned, it is not an upload of consciousness at all.
The whole process is actually the exchange of information between the brain and the virtual universe.
To be more straightforward, people and devices form a data network, and the virtual universe you are in is actually a piece of data.
It's just the scene that the brain presents in the mind after receiving this data.
If we have to talk about consciousness uploading, it is a specific device that can transfer all consciousness. This device is equivalent to the human brain.
This device is connected to the device that builds the virtual universe. In this case, you can think that your life has been extended.锛
But strictly speaking, you are already another person in this virtual universe.
Such an existence has no meaning yet.
If people want to live forever, they can only rely on themselves and allow themselves to exist for a long time. As for consciousness uploading, cloning, mechanical ascension, etc., they are all fake.
As long as the brain on which consciousness depends is no longer you, you are no longer you.
