Chapter 196 The Three Laws of Ultron Sentinels

Now, although the Ultron Sentinel project has been successfully established, Banner is still at a loss.

Humanity's exploration of artificial intelligence has never stopped since the advent of computers, and it has always had high hopes for it.

Just as steam technology started the first industrial revolution, electricity technology started the second industrial revolution, and computer and atomic energy technology started the third scientific and technological revolution.

Artificial intelligence, genetic technology, quantum information, energy materials, virtual reality.

These technologies will be the key to unlocking the fourth technological revolution.

However, until now, the beautiful era in the vision has not really arrived.

The technology that can completely disrupt the times has not yet been realized.

Tony and Banner want to forcefully break the blockade of era technology. Is this possible?

"If we want to develop Ultron, we cannot use any current artificial intelligence as a reference and must start from scratch."

Banner touched his chin and said, "I have learned about current artificial intelligence technology. Their current learning mechanism is still mainly based on imitating humans. If this is the case, things we don't want to see will happen."

Tony nodded, knowing what Banner was talking about.

This is due to concerns caused by the contamination incident of a chat smartphone in South Korea.

That artificial intelligence was named "Iruda".

Initially, this artificial intelligence was set to be a 20-year-old female college student who likes girl groups, loves to look at cat photos, and is keen to share her life on social media platforms.

It aims to provide people with a person to chat and talk to, so that there will no longer be lonely people in the world.

However, some people will deliberately use dirty words to humiliate and sexually harass Eluda when chatting with them, and take pleasure in doing so.

The prejudice and malice that these people inadvertently reveal during chats are also captured and learned by "Iruda" indiscriminately, and reflected in conversations with other users.

In such a learning environment, Iruda quickly became a character who not only discriminated against the gay community, but was also unfriendly to disabled people and black people, and even had "misogyny".

This caused great negative public opinion in society.

In the end, Eruda's database was forcibly abolished by the R&D company, and the chat service was permanently terminated.

From issuance to termination, the entire process only takes 26 days.

"If Ultron's learning mechanism cannot be fundamentally changed, then we can never imagine what kind of monster we will eventually cultivate."

Banner worried, "Maybe when he reads the content on the Internet, he will come to the conclusion that mankind is hopeless and must start over."

Tony thought for a moment and came up with a point: "So we must set an underlying law for it, such as giving human survival the highest priority."

Banner nodded and said: "This method is feasible, but we must design this underlying law to be rigorous enough to prevent any bad results."

They created Ultron and the Sentinels to protect humanity.

To be precise, they are ordinary people who are unable to protect themselves in the face of super-powered criminals.

In addition to protection and punishment, it also has a preventive effect.

We want those super-powered criminals to be in awe of the Ultron Sentinels so that they don't dare to commit crimes.

From this point of view, the underlying logic is extremely important and must not be sloppy at all.

Tony pointed his finger in the void, and a large string of words appeared in front of Banner.

"Fortunately, predecessors have already summarized a lot for us."

What Tony showed at this time was the famous three laws of robots.

It is said that there are three laws, but there are actually six, three original laws and three supplementary laws.

Based on these laws, Tony summarized several underlying principles that Ultron Sentinels need to abide by.

"Law Zero: Ultron Sentinels must protect the overall good of humanity from harm.

"First Law: Ultron Sentinels shall not harm an individual human being, or remain silent while witnessing danger to an individual human being.

"Second Law: A Sentinel of Ultron must obey orders given to it, except when that order conflicts with the First Law.

“Third Law: Ultron Sentinels must protect their own survival as much as possible without violating the First and Second Laws.

"Fourth Law: Ultron Sentinel must know that he is a robot and must admit that he is a robot.

"Law of Reproduction: Ultron Sentinels may not participate in the design and manufacture of robots."

After Banner looked at it carefully, he made modifications that were consistent with Ultron's design.

"I think the second law can be revised. The concept of 'human' is too broad. Criminals are also human beings. Does Ultron have to obey the orders of criminals?

"There is also the law of reproduction. We hope that Ultron can learn by itself and update and iterate. If it does not participate in design and manufacturing, then the learning mechanism will be useless."

Tony nodded: "Then modify the second principle and remove the law of reproduction."

The modified second law becomes this:

"Second Law: Sentinels of Ultron must perform the functions assigned by their built-in programming, except when that order conflicts with the First Law."

After these modifications, Banner can't see any problems for the time being.

There is a reason why they designed Ultron Sentinels not to harm individual humans.

In their conception, the final strength of Ultron Sentinel will be so powerful that ordinary superpower criminals will have no ability to resist.

They will be easily subdued.

And without this law, society would not be able to accept the existence of Ultron Sentinels.

"That should be no problem."

Tony calculated it in his mind for a long time and felt that there were no loopholes.

Ultron must safeguard the overall interests of mankind. As long as this law exists, its path cannot go astray.

Now I can finally feel at ease.

All that's left is to define Ultron's function.

"We can't give Ultron a big, boundless goal."

Banner said, "Otherwise it will just end up consuming countless resources, and then give an answer of '42', and then it will be useless."

Tony smiled knowingly, he knew what Banner was playing.

42, the seemingly most ordinary natural number, has extraordinary significance in the science fiction world.

From the classic science fiction novel "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."

In this novel, there is an extremely absurd and ironic plot.

In order to find out the answers to life, the universe and everything, a race of highly intelligent interdimensional creatures built a supercomputer named "Deep Thought" for calculations.

"Deep Thought" spent 750 million years calculating and verifying, enduring countless generations, and finally came up with the answer.

That's 42.

This scene is very classic, and it also made Tony determined that he would never let Ultron become Deep Thought.

"Ultron has only one function, to safeguard the interests of mankind as a whole!"

Tony said firmly, "Whether it is an invasion by a foreign enemy or civil strife among humans, it must safeguard the overall interests of humanity while abiding by the laws of robots!"

He simply stated that various situations would be broken down into final settings.

And Tony also knows very well that Ultron protects humans, not the earth.

Because the highest interest of mankind has never been to protect the earth, but to protect mankind itself.

Just like the environmental issues, climate issues, greenhouse issues, etc. that humans are currently concerned about, in the final analysis they are all about protecting humans.

The earth has existed for 46 billion years.

It has been covered in global ice and also encased in magma.

It has had volcanic eruptions that lasted for a million years, and torrential downpours that lasted for two million years.

This is how it ended up.

Earth never needed Ultron's protection.

Humanity needs Ultron's protection.

One day, human beings will break away from the shackles of the earth and move towards the boundless sea of ​​stars.

And Ultron exists to protect mankind until that day comes.

As the discussion ended, Tony and Banner reached a consensus on the core issues of Sentinels of Ultron.

Now it's time to take the first step and think about how to create Ultron.

With Ultron, there will be follow-up Sentinels.

"I'm going to use my brain as a model."

Tony nodded his head with his finger, "After all, the most powerful computer in the world right now is my brain."

After the transformation of the mother box and the mechanical ascension, Tony had the confidence to say such a thing.

And he’s still learning.

Hearing this, Banner suddenly thought of something: "If that's the case, can't we just copy your data directly? Why do we need to create a new artificial intelligence?"

"Because I am already Tony Stark and can no longer be Ultron."

Tony sighed, "Even if you copy, you will only copy another me, not the artificial intelligence that can protect the world."

His biggest flaw is that although he has the highest level of mechanical body and suit, he has a human heart.

He has feelings.

And a being who can protect the world should not have any personal emotions.

"I can make a copy of my mind model, but the rest is up to us."

Tony said sincerely, "Dr. Banner, you will have to work hard next. You must make Ultron born out of the human brain, but beyond the human brain!"

Ultron will become the guardian of human order!

Banner couldn't help but carry a sense of mission.

Feeling the weight, Banner nodded heavily.

He will definitely give birth to Ultron and become the hope of the new world!

Moreover, Banner has an idea of ​​his own.

With Ultron, he no longer has to worry about Tony unscrupulously controlling the Internet and manipulating everything behind the scenes.

There will be at least one being who can check and balance him.

"As for the sentry robot, you don't have to worry!"

Tony said confidently, "Making robots is my old profession!"

He revealed nothing about the future to Banner. In the future, I have already successfully researched various anti-armor weapons. I only need to continue exploring along this line of thinking to create the most perfect sentry.

"Let's build a prototype first!"

Tony thought this way, first create a robot that combines all the anti-armor advantages.

He is able to identify all superpowers and spontaneously explore countermeasures.

"First give this prototype a name."

It definitely can no longer be a simple name like Mark 1 or Mark 2.

This designation represents iteration. When a new Mark model appears, the old Mark model disappears.

But this prototype is different. It will carry all current technologies and become the mother body of all sentry robots in the future. Any new technology will be updated to itself immediately.

It will be a [Ship of Theseus] that can sail for hundreds of years regardless of the replacement of parts!

When necessary, it can even become the carrier of Ultron!

"First give it a code name."

Tony thought for a moment and came up with a perfect name.

Nimrod.

The legendary leader of the world, known as the first hero in the world.

Tony already has the blueprint for the sentinel robot Nimrod!

From today on, mankind can be saved!

……

Today, Strange doesn't care about humans.

He only cares about whether he can find Kama Taj alive.

Strange had been traveling in Nepal for several days. Despite the language barrier, he had to use Google Translate to ask everyone.

But after he turned the prayer wheels and touched the bells, no one knew where Kamal Taj was.

And now, his life is even worse.

Because he was blocked in an alley, he was robbed within reason.

The other person spoke a language he didn't understand. Strange apologized for interrupting him and clicked on Google Translate.

"Hand over your watch."

Just after the translation, the other party added another sentence.

"And your cell phone."

"Don't do this, please."

Strange has almost given up on his dignity, and recent experiences have driven him almost crazy.

"This is all I have left," he said, almost pleading.

Strange wasn't lying.

He has no habit of saving money, and while seeking medical treatment for his hands, he has sold all the valuable things in his home.

But the other person showed no mercy at all. The look in his eyes seemed to say, how could a white man have no money?

Stereotype.

Strange wanted to explain to them that white people also have poor people, and he is one of them.

But the other party had already yelled at him harshly again.

"Hand over your watch!"

There is no possibility of further communication.

"All right……"

Strange gritted his teeth, pretended to take off his watch, and then suddenly punched the robber hard in the face.

"Ahhhh-"

There was a roar of pain, and Strange almost fell to his knees.

The opponent didn't suffer any damage from the punch just now, but his hand hurt as if it was about to be broken!

Moreover, the behavior just now has obviously provoked the other party.

Sure enough, the expected punches and kicks immediately greeted him.

Strange could only hold his head and squat in defense, hoping that this severe beating would pass as soon as possible.

But the development of things was beyond his expectation.

A man in a black robe suddenly rushed out and killed all the robbers in two or three blows. His skill was such that Strange was stunned.

"Are you OK?"

The man helped Strange up, picked up Strange's broken watch and handed it to him.

The man took off his hood and was a black man with a kind face.

"My name is Modu, are you okay?"

Strange looked at that face and suddenly felt speechless.

The other person is a close friend of him, but for some reason, Strange always feels that this person and he must get along very well.

Maybe it's an illusion.

He quickly put this thought out of his mind and expressed his gratitude to the other party.

In fact, the thought he had just now was not an illusion, but a subtle induction.

This is a story from another time and space.

A time and space called "12 Years a Slave".

There, Strange and Mordo also had a tangled relationship and got along very well, but their identities were not quite right.

Strange was a slave owner, and Mordo was his slave.

"I heard you are looking for Kama Taj? Come with me!"

Mordo didn't know what Strange was thinking, so he greeted him and asked him to come with him.

Strange stopped asking what the feeling just now was about and immediately followed him.

……

Strange followed Modu and came to a small door.

"Is this Kama Taj?"

He looked back at the magnificent temple opposite, "I thought that was it."

"I asked the same question, and I wasn't very polite at that time."

Mordo smiled and said, "I'll give you a piece of advice: forget everything you think you know."

"All right……"

Strange no longer had the airs he had before, and followed Modu into the house obediently.

“Where did you know about Karma Taj?”

Along the way, Mordo took the initiative to chat with Strange.

"We have always been very low-key. If you know our names, you must have come into contact with people who have studied here."

"It's a man named Pangborn."

Strange answered every question, "I saw a miracle in him."

Mordo pretended to glance at Strange's hands inadvertently and understood everything.

There are many such people in Kamal Taj.

"This is my last chance."

Strange smiled bitterly and said, "I have tried all methods, but the final result is disappointment.

"I spent all my savings on this. Even the air ticket from New York was borrowed from others."

Modu suddenly turned his head: "New York?"

Strange was stunned: "Yes, New York is a city in the United States, far away from here..."

"I know where New York is."

Modu shook his head and said, "I just want to say that if you are in New York, there is no need to travel all the way. We have a base in New York."

"Like a branch office?"

Strange shook his head and said, "Then it must be because I didn't have the fate to see them, and I didn't even know that this stronghold existed."

"really."

Modu nodded, "Not everyone is lucky enough to enter the Holy of Holies."

Ok?

Strange suddenly froze.

He just heard something.

Holy of Holies?

Why do I seem to know this place?

It can't be such a coincidence...

Strange asked tentatively: "The Holy of Holies you are talking about is not on Black Street, right?"

Modu's expression suddenly became very strange: "Did you know? The Holy of Holies is at No. 177 Black Street. It's very conspicuous."

No!

Staranci suddenly felt an extremely absurd emotion.

Before he could recover, Modu took him to a monastery.

"This is the temple of my master, Master Gu Yi."

The door opened, and Strange had no intention of looking at any of the facilities inside.

Because he saw someone at a glance.

People who lend money to buy their own plane tickets in New York!

　There is another update coming later, the coding speed has become slower.
