Go: I’m 50-50 against the AI

Chapter 450 449. World Artificial Intelligence Competition

"Beta?"

"Isn't Beta a mouse?"

Looking at the report materials in his hand, Mr. Pei couldn't help but complain.

Shuke and Beta, I have seen them since childhood.

I even wrote a letter to Teacher Zheng before, and I think I contributed to so many of his houses in the capital.

Why did Beta turn into a dog when he came to me? Could it be to help Jerry manage Tom Cat?

Hearing what Mr. Pei said, Dr. Wang, who is from Baodao, was a little baffled. He didn't get the idea, but just explained: "It's like this. In a broad sense, there are three traditional names for testing: Alpha (α, Alpha ), Beta (β, beta) and Gamma (γ, gamma), used to identify the stage and scope of testing.

Alpha refers to internal testing, that is, CB, which is a version tested internally by the development team or an experience test version for limited users. Beta refers to public testing, which is a test version open to all users. When some modifications have been made and it becomes an officially released release candidate (RC - Release Candidate), it is called Gamma. "

“This version of Go artificial intelligence was born out of AlphaGo’s experimental paper, but it far exceeds the previous version of the master. It was born entirely from self-playing without any human chess records.

So for the time being, I will name the beta version as Beta Dog. After this test is completed and fully launched, Mr. Pei should personally decide on the name and then promote it to the market. "

When Mr. Pei heard this, he quickly waved his hand and said that he was not a lucky person: "I know you don't need to explain this. Let's decide on this name for now. When the time comes, we will change it to an official Chinese name when it is officially promoted and launched."

Hearing this, Dr. Wang couldn't help but rub his hands: "What about the test?"

I have been waiting for this test for so long.

Is there anything else to say about testing? The repertoire of artificial intelligence testing is, of course, the human-machine battle.

Regarding whether the previous Master's work was artificial intelligence, the artificial intelligence company maintained an attitude of neither admitting nor denying it. Anyway, it finally published the paper and began to study other development directions of artificial intelligence, and the Go aspect was suspended.

In the past two years, the development of other Go artificial intelligence can only be said to be average. This time, an artificial intelligence has finally emerged. The long-awaited man-machine war will finally be staged again!

Mr. Pei touched his chin and began to think: "Do you want to challenge Ying Jie? This guy just won the 18th world championship, right?

Doing the math, this kid seems to be almost 20 years old. Time flies so fast. When I met him at that time, he was still a minor and only 1.7 meters tall. Now he is 1.85 meters taller than me. It's still tall. I'll have to wear a pair of underwear to make it taller next time I see him.

The last time I won the Go League A-League photo, I stood in the middle, and I turned out to be the shortest! What kind of hormones do children these days take to grow up? Why do one or two grow so tall? We have to set a new standard next time..."

Seeing Mr. Pei's topic gradually going off track, Dr. Wang couldn't help but said awkwardly: "Well, man vs. machine, man vs. machine!"

"Oh, yes, yes, man-machine battle! Is this a repertoire? It was already done last time. I feel that if we do it a second time, maybe it will be the third time to some extent. It will attract more attention. ?"

Mr. Pei couldn't help but knock on the table and think about it. If the people challenging the challenge twice were different, and the person challenging the second time was a stronger person, everyone's attention would naturally be very high and they would have more expectations.

But it’s the same people and the same life twice, so if it happens a second time, no one may be happy to see it.

"It might work……"

"If we win, it will be very beneficial to our product promotion!"

"I know that the war between man and machine must be carried out at any time. It will not work unless it is done."

Mr. Pei seemed to see Dr. Wang's worries, and waved his hand to let the other party not worry about things that could not be solved in a human-machine war. He had spent so much money, and he was still worried about the last game?

"What I'm thinking about is how the whole life will be? How much..."

"The whole big job?"

"Wait a moment, I'll call Wolong, no, Xiaoma."

After thinking for a long time, Mr. Pei picked up his cell phone and made a call. After saying a few words, he hung up the phone.

When Dr. Wang saw Mr. Pei on the phone, he quietly exited the office. He was afraid that if he heard some business secrets, and if they were leaked, he might be blamed for it.

Resolutely not interfere with anything other than your own work, especially the leadership's affairs.

"Okay, let Dr. Wang come in, the plan has been decided."

"ah?"

Listening to Mr. Pei's words on the phone, Dr. Wang felt confused. Mr. Pei was still undecided. Logically speaking, the planning of such a large-scale event should not require at least five meetings and six seminars. Well, how can it be solved with just one phone call?

Or is there some kind of master on the other end of the phone? Can you directly influence the chairman's decision-making? !

"After our careful discussion just now, we have decided on a plan."

When Dr. Wang heard what he said, he couldn't help but complain in his heart. From the time you made the call to the time you hung up, it took no more than three minutes. This consultation was too thorough.

After such careful discussions, how did the company grow to such a large scale?

Mr. Pei held his face with both hands, pretending to let others see the mirror reflection of his eyes: "We have decided to hold the World Artificial Intelligence Go Competition first! Invite all existing artificial intelligence to participate in this time In the competition, the artificial intelligence that wins the championship will challenge Ying Jie!"

"Artificial Intelligence Competition?"

"Yes, artificial intelligence in Go has sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain in the past two years. Not only our artificial intelligence, but also artificial intelligence in Japan, South Korea and Europe have appeared one after another, including the world competitions and some invitational competitions in the past two years, artificial intelligence has appeared frequently. In fact, there has never been a standard for defining artificial intelligence.

And we need to set that standard! Become an industry leader and let everyone know what is the strongest Go artificial intelligence! "

In the past two years, artificial intelligence in Go has continued to appear, and the Go community has begun to gradually adapt to the emergence of artificial intelligence, but it is more of a novelty, including the fact that some wild cards for the world competition have been issued to artificial intelligence, allowing artificial intelligence to participate in the world competition. .

However, most artificial intelligence did not even make it to the finals, and fell to other human chess players. It can also be seen from this that the current level of artificial intelligence, although stronger than before, does not seem to be able to completely threaten the ecology. .

"Instead of letting artificial intelligence participate in some human competition, why not bring all artificial intelligence together and hold an artificial intelligence competition! Let everyone see who is the best Go artificial intelligence in the world!"

Mr. Pei took a sip of the tea on his table, and then said: "First make an alliance with the world, and then aspire to the Zhou Dynasty."

"But in this case, Beta Dog's chess records will still be leaked...

And it seems that Ying Jie is being praised too highly, right? "

Does artificial intelligence challenge humans? This seems to be the other way around, right? Shouldn’t it be humans who challenge artificial intelligence?

When Dr. Wang heard this, he couldn't help but said something worried, because the shadow Ying Jie cast on him last time was really too great.

Dr. Wang really couldn't figure out how Ying Jie discovered the AlphaGo bug? Even though so many of them and so many researchers were testing day and night, they didn't find this vulnerability, yet Ying Jie discovered it. It was really outrageous.

After thinking hard, Dr. Wang could only think of two possibilities. One is that Ying Jie got lucky and played the game at the right time, fixing the bug in AlphaGo. The other is that Ying Jie passed the previous chess record. , analyze the weaknesses of Alpha Dog based on the game records.

Theoretically speaking, the second possibility is the smallest, but the first one is more likely to be luck. Although it is outrageous, it is the most likely.

But we have to guard against the second possibility. What if Ying Jie is really so unfaithful? so what should I do now?

After all, Ying Jie has done a lot of things that go against the grain for so many years. Not to mention the dump truck, Lei Gong didn't even give a verbal warning, and the ancestor vowed to give him a verbal warning at least!

Therefore, Dr. Wang conducted this test in secret, and even asked people to sign a confidentiality agreement, for fear that the chess records would be leaked. If Ying Jie found another weird bug, that person would really be in trouble.

When you encounter a new artificial intelligence for the first time, how should you respond? You can't just adaptively find bugs in two games, right?

If Ying Jie can reach this level, Dr. Wang feels that he can pack up and go home to change his research direction. What is the purpose of studying artificial intelligence? Human beings are so miraculous, why not study the human body and see if we can create a superman, or even directly create a superhuman god.

But if an artificial intelligence competition is held first, Beta Dog will have to play against other artificial intelligences, and the chess records will inevitably be made public. In this case, Ying Jie will study them in advance.

"What is there to worry about? What are you afraid of? What challenges are being challenged? The artificial intelligence has already lost to Ying Jie last time. In the eyes of the audience, we are the challengers.

Artificial intelligence has failed so many times, will it be a big blow if it loses again? Nowadays, the public has little expectations for artificial intelligence in Go. In fact, everyone generally believes that artificial intelligence cannot defeat Ying Jie.

Even if he loses this test again and upgrades again, will the ever-upgrading artificial intelligence never be able to defeat Ying Jie?

Don’t be afraid of failure when doing business. The same goes for anything else. If you are afraid, you will have already lost in advance. "

"Announcement is that Tenda will hold the first artificial intelligence competition, and the winning artificial intelligence will challenge Ying Jie, the world's number one player in Go!

The bonus, since it is a five-game chess game, is 50 million! Winner takes all, loser gets nothing! "
