As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 360 The Holy Grail
There was an article in the "Land and Public Governance Quarterly" of the Lion City:
"Singapore Digital Government Program Promotion Practice"

One of the authors of this article was Lin Xianwen, who was then the section chief of the Regulatory Assessment Division of the National Development Committee of the Lion City.

It clearly states that the National Development Council will use information technology to improve the efficiency and quality of government services from 2017 to 2020.

In order to make government management intelligent, implement evidence-based governance, and optimize the quality of decision-making, the National Development Council has also developed a government plan database and a case plan space management information system in stages.

Merlin's arrival directly helped them achieve leapfrog progress.

Artificial intelligence directly replaces all jobs.

In 2017, the year after the publication of this article, the Lion City government proposed a plan to conduct information technology training programs for [-] public servants every year.

This plan was promoted by the Ministry of Science and Technology under the leadership of Li Hongyi.

It was precisely for this reason that Lin Xianwen later defected to Li Hongyi's command and became one of his core members.

Sometimes writing articles is a good way to find thigh hugs, especially in countries influenced by Confucian culture.

Lin Xianwen felt uneasy when he saw that he was given a one-month vacation. When he knew that everyone was on vacation, he knew it was over.

Especially when he went to a government agency to do business the next day, artificial intelligence directly helped him finish it.

The whole process only needs to express your needs clearly through voice or text, and then artificial intelligence will help you get things done.

Will the Lion City still need so many civil servants in the future?
No matter how the quality of civil servants is improved, can they serve better than artificial intelligence?
You don't need to think about it. As for overthrowing Merlin's decision, is it possible?

Lin Xianwen feels that his future is gloomy.

He finally knew what Merlin meant when he said that employment is welfare in his inauguration speech.

Middle-aged men after losing their jobs are the worst. There are elderly people who need support, and children who are not yet independent need to be raised.

Fortunately, the welfare protection in the Lion City is relatively complete, and the elderly have a relatively complete mechanism from medical care to pensions.

But if he is laid off by the Lion City government, at least the quality of education for his children cannot be guaranteed.

Don't even think about going to a famous European and American school for your children to study after they grow up.

As for the scholarship provided by the Lion City government, this path is not something his son with mediocre academic performance and mediocre academic talent can afford.

Lin Xianwen listened to the full text of Mei Lin's inaugural speech the day before in front of the TV.

He was still thinking about what industry Merlin's first fire would burn to.

Because Merlin mentioned that some industries will be subverted, and the entire industry will be killed.

He never expected that he was the first to be killed.

He called Li Hongyi overnight, trying to get some information:
"Minister Li, if the Lion City fully adopts artificial intelligence to replace government functions in the future, how will we be arranged?"

He asked directly after the normal greetings, Li Hongyi still had an impression of this subordinate, after all they had worked together for so many years:

"I don't know, my father has completed the transfer of power, and to avoid suspicion, I have submitted my resignation to the current government.

The resignation has been approved, and I don't know how it will develop in the future.

I can only give you one piece of advice, that is, don't mess around and wait for Mr. Merlin's arrangement. "

After speaking, Li Hongyi hung up the phone.

I'm going to work in Kechuang Biology soon, does the situation in Lion City have anything to do with me?

Li Miaomiao did not agree to give Li Hongyi the position of an executive, but only gave him a position as the person in charge of a certain product manager line.

If he's capable of doing it himself, they won't set any limits.

In fact, in many cases, whether your relationship is good or not is reflected in whether you can turn it into reality.

For example, in China, department-level cadres in public institutions can be directly transferred to administrative organs to become civil servants while retaining their rank.

According to the system, it is possible, but very few can turn it into reality.

The promise made by Li Miaomiao is fine. As for whether Li Hongyi can turn the promise into reality, it depends on whether his father cooperates enough.

Li Hongyi was obviously reminded of this by Li Xianlong, so when he spoke to the outside world, he always said that you should stop making trouble and be obedient.

The civil service team in the Lion City is a very large group, and they cannot accept the reality that they are about to lose their jobs after they know it.

Instantly connected in series, trying to put pressure on Merlin on the street.

Low-level civil servants are the majority.

But for the people of Lion City, the process of artificial intelligence is much better than before, both in terms of efficiency and experience.

Therefore, this youxin cannot win the support of the majority of people in the Lion City.

They like to sit, so they sit outside, anyway, it is the holiday period.

The current situation of the Lion City was broadcast live by major media around the world.

In Huaguo, there are only a few strokes.

"Youxing broke out in Lion City, and a large number of civil servants took to the streets to express their dissatisfaction with the new leader Merlin."

As for why he was dissatisfied, there was no reason behind it.

In this era of globalization, it is not easy to obtain information.

Because judging from the artificial intelligence used in Lion City, it has been able to completely replace the low-end jobs of humans.

Such as various customer service, telephone sales, pre-sales managers, etc., all these positions that do not need to be contacted face-to-face through communication can all be eliminated.

More than half of it has been killed by the artificial intelligence developed by Bluestar itself, and now the remaining part can also become an integral part of the long river of history.

At the same time, low-end or even all service jobs, such as government officials, can also disappear.

Artificial intelligence has performed so well in this field, so what about other aspects?

How much potential can the technology behind an artificial intelligence that has clearly passed the Turing test and is far superior to ordinary people's basic working ability be able to burst out?
This is a question that all practitioners in the artificial intelligence industry are curious about.

In Quora, the question about the government service artificial intelligence of the Lion City is the hottest question in the computer sector recently.

"What is the level of service-oriented artificial intelligence in Lion City, and what technical principles are behind it?"

"The artificial intelligence technology Merlin recently used in Lion City, not to mention the earliest definition of the Turing test, it can easily pass the latest enhanced Turing test.

At the same time, in the field of speech recognition, no matter which language I use to communicate with Bluestar, he can perfectly understand what you mean.

I am a Ph.D. in Computer Science from National University of Singapore. I can speak Chinese, English and Cantonese myself.

At the same time, I have classmates from all over the world, some who can speak French, German, Spanish, etc.

We directly chat with the artificial intelligence on the Internet, and the language is not the slightest obstacle for him.

If Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri, or Microsoft’s Corrana had a speech recognition ability of 10 ten years ago, it’s now a speech recognition ability of 15.

Lion City's artificial intelligence is at least 100 in speech recognition alone.

To know that traditional speech recognition mainly converts analog audio into digital signals.

For a computer to decipher a signal, it must have a database or vocabulary of numbers, words or syllables.

This data is then quickly compared to the signal.

We generally store speech patterns on the hard drive and load them into memory when the program runs.

These stored patterns are then checked against the output of the A/D converter by comparators.

Therefore, speech recognition is related to hardware and software.

Although people have applied artificial intelligence technology to speech recognition in the past 15 years, the underlying logic will not change.

At most, use your usage records and voice to adjust the database that simulates the corresponding relationship.

I seriously doubt that Lion City's artificial intelligence is different from Bluestar's traditional speech recognition in terms of underlying logic.

As for the specific underlying logic, if I know, I have to be my mentor as a mentor, and he will be my doctor.

Because the artificial intelligence of the Lion City involves the 600 million resident population of the entire Lion City at the same time.

Artificial intelligence has just come online, which is the peak period of people's curiosity about it.

At the same time, with such a huge amount of concurrency, I haven't seen a single report of an error in the local community in Lion City.

You should know that Apple's Siri can be used even when you are disconnected from the Internet, because it is a software embedded in the Apple system.

It is to use the underlying principle I just mentioned above.

In fact, it can't recognize a slightly more complicated problem.

It can only recognize the needs of fixed patterns and recognize standardized spoken language.

The artificial intelligence of Lion City is different. It has identified at least one million-level problems in this day.

More importantly, nothing went wrong, which is amazing.

The failure rate is 0 and the failure rate is 0.01%, which are completely different concepts.

The voice recognition technology alone is at least worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

(The market size of speech recognition in 2021 is 107 billion yuan)
Because speech recognition can be used in all fields such as mobile phones, home appliances, and cars.

You can imagine a navigation that can perfectly identify your requirements, what you want to eat, and it can help you find the most suitable place.

Dig deeper, and embed some advertising algorithms in it, such as you want to eat hamburgers, and then propose your taste preferences.

The navigation automatically takes you to a burger restaurant that has recharged it.

You can't blame AI companies or AI itself.

Of course I believe that Merlin's artificial intelligence will not be used in this regard.

However, if the underlying logic embodied by Merlin's artificial intelligence can be thoroughly studied by other Internet companies, I think it will not be long before they do this.

Unlabel's CEO hailed translation as the holy grail of artificial intelligence.

This statement is endorsed by many bigwigs in the field of artificial intelligence.

why?
There is such a thing mentioned in the Old Testament of the Bible, people who used the same language earlier, tried to build the tower of Babel to go to heaven.God overthrew the Tower of Babel, and then made different civilizations use different languages.

Caused the inability to communicate between humans.

This story is very influential in the Bible. Similar myths and legends about the collapse of the Tongtian Tower also appear in the collapse of Buzhou Mountain in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Also in the Book of Mountains and Seas, Buzhou Mountain is also the only way to the heaven.

Such highly similar myths and legends make people wonder whether such a heavenly road really existed in ancient times.

Going back to machine translation, this involves a lot of text content, and the models vary from one language to another.

This is the case in Bluestar's machine translation technology.

If translation between many different languages ​​is involved, thousands of models will be generated, and there will be too much computational complexity.

In recent years, the artificial intelligence community has been looking for a multilingual model.

A text representation common to all languages ​​is constructed through a multilingual model.

It can be roughly understood that no matter what the language is, a language-independent meaning expression can be found.

Such a model was first developed in 2021 by the team of Phiipp Koehn, a big cow in machine translation.

Multilingual models outperformed bilingual models for the first time.

Ten years have passed since then, and Phiipp Koehn's team has made far less progress on multilingual models than expected.

Their team fell apart and reunited several times because the progress was not as expected.

Until today, the biggest application scenario of the multilingual model in META is to detect hate speech.

That is to say, among different languages, it is easy to find meaning expressions independent of language for languages ​​related to the emotional element of hatred.

But other emotional elements have not found a breakthrough.

You must know that Phiipp Koehn's team relies on META, and there are 200 billion data trainings every day.

I don't believe Merlin's AI has this much data to train on.

It turns out that it is comparable to a dedicated translator in the field of intelligent translation.

It is even more familiar with different language recognition.

I guess Merlin has its own set of methods in the field of artificial intelligence, with a special compiled language.

I hope that in my lifetime, Merlin will be able to make relevant knowledge public.

This should be the biggest dream of all practitioners in the field of artificial intelligence.

Ability to see research results that are at least 50 years stronger than current technology.

I can roughly understand the feeling of the ancients in Huaguo who heard the Tao in the morning and died in the evening. "

The above answer was given by overseas Chinese students in Lion City.

Basically, the branches of all major Internet companies in the Lion City have sent their employees to test the artificial intelligence used by the Lion City government.

The headquarters of Goose Factory, Rice, Byte, Apple, and Amazon are still waiting for the test report from the Lion City branch.

Like Microsoft, the Asia-Pacific headquarters is in the Lion City, which can mobilize more human resources to make judgments on the artificial intelligence of the Lion City government.

　Thank you Evergreen 1040, I love Shinji for your reward.

　　I have something to do tomorrow, and there is a high probability that it will be worse.

　　So put this chapter out ahead of time.
