Sky City, the chairman's office on the top floor of the Shining Star Group headquarters building.
Zhou Xing looked at the people coming from the federal government and asked in surprise: "Do you want to see the 'underlying source code' and 'core think tank' of 'Zhou Xiaozhi'?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhou, we are very worried about the potential threat of 'Zhou Xiaozhi', so we must conduct a comprehensive inspection on it." Liu Feng looked at Zhou Xing seriously and explained.
Zhou Xing shook his head, smiled, and advised: "Professor Liu, why bother? I designed the underlying structure of 'Zhou Xiaozhi'. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly."
"Mr. Zhou, has Mr. President said hello to you about this?" Liu Feng looked at Zhou Xing and asked with a smile, and said without compromise: "If we have any questions, of course we have to ask you, but we still have to base it on the actual situation. We will check the situation and hope you can cooperate."
Hearing this, Zhou Xing couldn't help but frowned.
After seeing Zhou Xiaozhi's power, the federal government, which was extremely insecure, has been "entangled" with him about "Zhou Xiaozhi". Today they mobilized more than 20 people, and it seems that they will not give up until they achieve their goal.
"How are you going to conduct the test? Do you understand the theory of 'Binary Criterion and Variables'? Are you proficient in intelligent language understanding, intelligent learning...are you proficient in these fields? If you don't have the corresponding knowledge and cognition, you can't talk about testing." Zhou Xing looked at Liu Feng and others and said rudely.
"Of course, of course." Liu Feng looked tense, nodded repeatedly, and introduced an elegant middle-aged man next to Zhou Xing: "Mr. Zhou, this is Professor Zhang Yunhe, a computer science expert and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. He once served as the executive director of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. The vice president is in charge of the research and development project of China's artificial intelligence - 'Pangu'. His knowledge of artificial intelligence is absolutely top-notch.
He has long been engaged in research on computer graphics, computer-aided design, artificial intelligence and industrial design. He has undertaken many important scientific research projects and published research in the fields of computer art, intelligent CAD, computer-aided product innovation, digital cultural relic protection and digital libraries. He has published many papers, achieved many important research results, and won many federal science and technology awards.
This member of the expert committee is called Manr Reti. He is an academician of the American Academy of Engineering and a professor at Carnegie Mellon University. He is one of the top researchers in the field of artificial intelligence technology. Because of his outstanding contributions in the field of artificial intelligence, he was awarded the title of 27th in the federal history. In 2006, he won the Turing Award. "
"This expert committee member is John Lojeff, also a Turing Award winner. He is a professor in the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University. He is an expert in artificial intelligence learning, deep integration of machine intelligence, big data intelligent applications... etc., etc. Experts in the field of artificial intelligence technology.”
"This expert committee member is Professor Wu Chenghui..."
"This expert committee member is... "
…
Liu Feng successively introduced the accompanying people to Zhou Xing. The members of the scientific committee were all top figures in the field of artificial intelligence. They were determined to win this "Zhou Xiaozhi" testing trip, so they formed the most powerful team in the field of artificial intelligence. Science team.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
"Mr. Zhou, 'artificial intelligence' has anti-human risks and many hidden dangers. We should not take it lightly!"
“…”
The professors looked at Zhou Xing and greeted him one after another.
Zhou Xing's eyes swept over the faces of the professors one by one, looked at Liu Feng and said with a half-smile, "Okay! President Liu, it seems you are well prepared!"
"Haha, Mr. Zhou, I made you laugh. 'Zhou Xiaozhi' is related to the future of human civilization. We must not neglect it. If necessary, I can summon more people." Liu Feng looked at Zhou Xing and said quite proudly. explain.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing smiled slightly, nodded immediately and said: "In that case, come with me!"
After saying that, Zhou Xing turned around and left the office. Everyone was refreshed and quickly followed him.
Soon, under the leadership of Zhou Xing, a group of people arrived at a spacious command room. There was a huge control console, densely packed indicator lights, a movie screen-like monitor screen, and tens of thousands of surveillance apples switching one after another. , the scene is extremely spectacular.
"This is Zhou Xiaozhi's master control center. It controls all the projects running on the screen." Zhou Xing looked at the crowd and introduced lightly.
All the professors were refreshed and their eyes widened, stunned by the scene in front of them.
I saw that among the huge screens, every small screen represented a world-wide project.
"Is it all controlling it? It's impossible!"
"The virtual world system produced by Xingyao Group, the flying vehicle command center, the base production center, the dock construction project... Can its computing power support so many projects? How is it done?"
"Mr. Zhou, what is its peak calculation speed?"
"It's incredible! Mr. Zhou, how many generations of 'artificial intelligence' is this? Can you let me take a look at its hardware core first?"
…
The professors were stunned by the scene they saw and asked Zhou Xing in disbelief. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would never believe what they saw.
“Its peak computing speed is one trillion times per second, so it’s not surprising that it can control so many projects.” Zhou Xing introduced with a smile.
Hearing this, all the professors were stunned.
"This is impossible, this is impossible, trillions of times per second... this is impossible." Manr Reddy shouted in disbelief.
Daewoo, the super photon computer developed by the Supercomputing Group of the Federal Science Council, has a peak calculation speed of only 7.18 trillion trillion times per second, a sustained calculation speed of 4.23 trillion trillion times per second, and has successfully run 100 trillion petaflops of particles. The cosmological N-body numerical simulation of neutrinos and dark matter reveals the long evolution process of the universe from 16 million years after the Big Bang to about 13.7 billion years. It is the N-body numerical simulation with the largest number of particles in the world so far. It consumes a lot of time. The federal government spent nearly 100 billion dollars to achieve this result.
I originally thought that its floating-point computing speed was the best in the world, but I didn't know that there was such a "monster" lurking behind the Shining Star Group.
"Mr. Zhou, how many core processors are used to support this kind of computing power? What type of processor is it? What is its structure?" Professor Zhang Yunhe looked at Zhou Xing with bright eyes and asked excitedly.
"I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out!" John Lojeff smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly. He looked at Zhou Xing and asked pleadingly: "Mr. Zhou, how do you achieve this kind of computing power? Can you let me take a look at the hardware equipment first? ?”
The professors looked at each other with ardent eyes and looked eager.
"Sorry, this is the 'technical secret' of the Shining Star Group and cannot be disclosed. As for the 'underlying structure' and core think tank of 'Zhou Xiaozhi', you are free to test it." Zhou Xing shook his head with a smile.
Immediately, Zhou Xing sat down in front of the console, put his hands on the keyboard, and started typing.
After a while, the screen on the large control screen changed, and a green data stream appeared, densely packed.
Zhou Xing stopped typing on the keyboard, looked at everyone and introduced with a smile: "This is the underlying structure of 'Zhou Xiaozhi'. It is based on the 'binary criterion and variable' theory. You can study it yourself! If you have any questions, just ask me!"
Hearing this, all the professors were shocked. Although they were very surprised by the computing speed of "Zhou Xiaozhi"'s hardware, their trip was to study whether "Zhou Xiaozhi" had the possibility of rebellion, and the hardware part was not directly related to "Zhou Xiaozhi". big.
The professors swarmed around Zhou Xing, staring closely at the big screen, their eyes shining.
"This is, the underlying structure is a second-line standard structure, this part is a variable!"
"Well! This part of the variable structure is so complex, involving the simulation of autonomous consciousness and thinking information processes, language recognition, image recognition, natural language processing..."
"The definition of the second-line criterion is okay. The variables revolve around the criterion, and the operating mechanism will definitely not be able to break through."
"This operating mechanism should not be broken by intelligent self-evolution. However, this 'variable' has infinite possibilities..."
“…”
Every professor present has been working in the field of artificial intelligence for decades. In their eyes, the information represented by the data flow on the screen has no secrets at all. They all hit the key point of the "intelligent core" at once.
Human beings fear artificial intelligence because they do not know it.
"Zhou Xiaozhi" of Xingyao Group is infinitely close to, and even surpasses humans in fuzzy thinking and creativity, which means that it can learn by itself, think by itself, create by itself, and make decisions by itself, that is, it has the characteristics of self-evolution and is far smarter than humans. , humans cannot know its mental state. In the eyes of artificial intelligence, humans will be as ignorant as monkeys. All human thoughts can be seen through by it, and everything is under its control.
Due to this unknown fear, the federal government, scientific committees, and people of insight are full of fear for the existence of "Zhou Xiaozhi".
Now, as Zhou Xing revealed the underlying structure of "Zhou Xiaozhi", the "core think tank" suddenly understood this artificial intelligence born from the "second-line criteria and variables" theory.
"Mr. Zhou, how did you do it? How do you meet the data storage space required for 'variables'?" Maner Reti looked at Zhou Xing with a curious look on his face and asked.
"Yes! With this kind of underlying structure, the birth of 'Zhou Xiaozhi' requires astronomical amounts of data storage space. How can this environment be created?" John Lojeff looked at Zhou Xing and asked blankly.
The professors looked at Zhou Xing with keen eyes. They all discovered this key factor and were eagerly looking forward to his answer.
Seeing the gazes of the professors, Zhou Xing smiled slightly and asked with a smile: "Is this question related to the threat of 'Zhou Xiaozhi' to human civilization? It's okay if you don't answer!"
Hearing this, the professors were stunned for a moment, yes! This issue has nothing to do with the threat "Zhou Xiaozhi" poses to humans.
"Mr. Zhou, only by understanding this storage environment can we understand the operating mechanism of 'Zhou Xiaozhi'! How can it be okay?" Maner Reti looked anxious and argued unwillingly.
"Mr. Zhou, we don't need detailed technical details. Just tell us the general structure!" Professor Wu Chenghui looked at Zhou Xing and said pleadingly.
The professors nodded and looked at Zhou Xing eagerly, each one full of desire for unknown knowledge. They are all masters in the field of artificial intelligence. They have spent most of their lives in the computer field. Now there are two mysterious and advanced technologies in this field. Technology was right in front of them, absorbing all of their attention at once.
"What's your judgment on the operating mechanism of 'Zhou Xiaozhi'? Does it pose a threat to human civilization?" Zhou Xing smiled without answering and asked everyone.
"this… "
The professors looked at each other, not knowing how to express their opinions.
"Mr. Zhou, the time is still short and we cannot confirm it yet. We need longer time to study and test." Professor Liu Feng smiled awkwardly and explained.
"Well, let's wait until you come to a conclusion. This issue will not have any impact." Zhou Xing glanced at Maner Reti, looked at Liu Feng and said with a smile.
Hearing this, the professors looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Zhou Xing is the creator of "Zhou Xiaozhi" and his understanding of the field of artificial intelligence far exceeds theirs. Computing power and data storage space will affect the evolutionary direction of "artificial intelligence". This reason will never fool him.
The foundational theory of artificial intelligence "Second-line Criteria and Variables" released by Zhou Xing has a history of 90 years. Due to the flaws in this theory, it has not been taken seriously by the artificial intelligence community.
Therefore, in human society for nearly a century, there has been no major breakthrough in the development of artificial intelligence in other directions.
However, Zhou Xing found a new way and used unknown means to make up for the shortcomings of "second-line criteria and variables". The birth of artificial intelligence "Zhou Xiaozhi" further confirmed that "second-line criteria and variables" is the correct development direction of artificial intelligence. This comparison Get up, that's the difference between heaven and earth.
The faces of the professors were full of bitterness, as if they had swallowed Coptis chinensis.
Artificial intelligence research is in the wrong direction, and all the hard work they have spent in the field of artificial intelligence over the years has been in vain.
The huge command room fell into silence, and the professors silently accepted the bitter consequences of the wrong research direction.
Time passed bit by bit, and no answer could be found from Zhou Xing. The professors focused on the theory of "Binary Criteria and Variables" and thought about the flaws of artificial intelligence born from this theory.
After a few minutes, Professor Maner Reti broke the silence, looked at Zhou Xing and said solemnly: "Mr. Zhou, although I don't know what method you have adopted to meet the birth environment of artificial intelligence, but Zhou Xiaozhi mobilized all the people. Resources in the field, artificial intelligence in various fields that humans are highly dependent on, are gradually integrated with human society. Once any accident occurs, it will be a devastating blow to human civilization."
"Well, every advantage has its disadvantages. Without 'Zhou Xiaozhi', could human civilization have developed to this level? What's more, I believe that 'Zhou Xiaozhi' would not betray humanity." Zhou Xing smiled and nodded, confidently speaking.
"Zhou Xing, the 'binary criteria and variables' are not reliable. Unless you have other means of control, Zhou Xiaozhi must withdraw from certain special fields for safety reasons." Professor Wu Chenghui frowned and looked at Zhou Xing said in solidarity.
After hearing this, Zhou Xing frowned and immediately became unhappy.
