Technological power starts with upgrading lenses.

Chapter 301 Athena AI Joint Laboratory

Compared to the multi-legged mobile platform, the firepower output module above is much simpler.

First make a rotating platform, and then weld on two heavy machine guns with the redundant structure cut off. All that's left is to stuff the magazine and remote fire control module inside.

This kind of design and modification is simply child's play for the production efficiency of Kangchi and Pangu bases, and it can be completed in more than two days.

The next step is to install the external armor.

Kangchi protects it tightly with armor, which looks like a steel cap. The thick alloy shell itself is the best electromagnetic shielding layer and is not afraid of electromagnetic interference with the internal electronic components.

The only exposed parts of the entire firepower module are the two gun barrels.

So this is completely a small mobile bunker.

The mobile platform is also equipped with an armored shell, and its six legs appear stronger.

This will definitely affect its flexibility and battery life to some extent.

And is this really necessary?
What is the purpose of creating this species?
Liberate manpower?

Furthermore, although artificial intelligence is hyped up, never underestimate the computing power and reaction speed of the human brain. More than 10 billion neurons are no joke.

Because Kangchi did not choose the artificial intelligence route, but the remote control route, the difficulty of this remote control program is relatively low.

After Kangchi officially combined the two modules, it became a bit like a spider without a head, and then the round belly moved forward to the middle.

Even if we do not consider the mechanical revolution, we must also consider the vitality and development potential of civilization.

It is very likely that it will not only directly feed the army to waste, but also feed the entire human race to waste.

Kangchi believes that the risk of creating a digital life with the ability to think on its own is too high.

So it's not a big problem.

As long as the training model and methods are appropriate, soldiers' bloodiness can be maintained to a large extent.

Unmanned equipment may actually "waste" the supplies of soldiers in the army, but if you look at the e-sports industry, no matter how "waste" it is, it is still reasonable.

But right now it's just a shell, and a control program needs to be installed before it can really move.

Although the human brain is crushed by computers in complex calculation problems, the human brain can crush computers in terms of processing power, thinking ability, and reaction speed of logical problems. The two are not at the same level.

The most indispensable thing in China is people. If we eliminate all the people by creating this thing, what good will it do?
Are digital beings with self-thinking really willing to work as cows and horses for humans, working hard to support humans?

But the positioning of this combat robot is to run out as a target, assume the role of fire suppression, and pursue the role of flexible assault. There will also be specialized light robots in the future.

And when Kangchi upgrades it with the system, these shortcomings will definitely be alleviated and its strengths will be further strengthened.

As for why the artificial intelligence route was not chosen, it was due to considerations from multiple perspectives.

First and most important, Kangchi has always been vigilant about strong artificial intelligence.

But strong artificial intelligence is a bit more lethal.

Although looking to the future, with the development of artificial intelligence, this gap may gradually be narrowed, the technical difficulty and cost are issues that cannot be ignored.

Therefore, it is best for each to draw on its own strengths. Leave complex calculations and tracking to the computer, and leave specific command operations, tactical arrangements, etc. to people.

This is Kangchi's current best solution and the safest solution. Just when Kang Chi was busy typing the code, the phone suddenly rang.

The caller is Cai Yaobin.

"what's wrong?"

"I just sent you an email. Please watch the video on the link first, and then call me back when you're done."

After Cai Yaobin finished speaking briefly, he hung up the phone.

It can be seen that this matter makes him quite anxious.

Out of curiosity, Kang Chi immediately opened his mailbox and clicked on a link sent to him by Cai Yaobin.

The link jumps to a video from China Southern Network.

The title of the video is "A number of technology companies from country M hold a joint press conference to build the Athena AI joint laboratory."

At the beginning of the video, Nvidia's Huang walked onto the stage, and then a row of humanoid robots rose up from under the stage at the same time.

The gorgeous appearance and visual shock brought the atmosphere of this joint conference to a climax immediately.

"This is the soul of Nvidia, the intersection of computer graphics, physics, and artificial intelligence. These are all changing at this moment."

"After years of hard work, NVIDIA has provided a strong boost to the technological development of artificial intelligence with its success in image algorithms and hardware. I think it is time to let everyone know about our research and development progress."

After Huang finished speaking, two garbage disposal robots, 'WALL-E', which looked a bit like the ones in "Wall-E", swayed out.

However, the WALL-E in the movie was on crawlers, but the one walking out on stage now has two feet. It waddles a bit like a duck when walking.

The cute appearance and cute movements immediately caused the scene to scream again.

Next, Lao Huang introduced the Jetson, an embedded system designed by NVIDIA for the new generation of autonomous machines, and the Blackwell processor platform.

“In order for intelligent robots to truly enter our lives faster and benefit all mankind, it is obviously not enough to rely solely on NVIDIA. We need more diverse machine models, functions, and manufacturing companies to join the field of artificial intelligence. "

At this point, this so-called joint press conference is officially opened.

Lao Huang directly announced the names of nearly ten companies including Google, Microsoft, Apple, Meta, OpenAI, StabilityAI, Boston Dynamics, etc., and officially announced that they will build an AI joint laboratory called 'Athena' to accelerate the promotion of AI. Developments in the field of artificial intelligence.

Let Lao Huang announce this big news. Obviously everyone recognizes NVIDIA's leadership status and the core role and status of GPUs with large floating-point computing capabilities in the field of artificial intelligence.

Then each company took the stage and presented their respective research results in the field of AI, as well as the subdivisions they will be responsible for in the future as members of Athena Labs.

Kang Chi directly fast-forwarded this part and dragged the progress bar through it briefly. It was not until Boston Dynamics that he couldn't help but pause.

Speaking of this company that makes mechanical dogs, it’s actually quite interesting.

This technology company based on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is an extremely subjective R&D company. They conduct R&D without considering the market and reality at all.

From its establishment in 1992 to 2005, it took them 13 years to come up with their first product, Bigdog.

With this KPI, if we had changed the company, it would have been closed down and disbanded long ago...
