Internet 2010

A few hours later, Lu Zhou and Lu Ming walked out of the biological science building.

Lu Zhou walked on the road and looked up at the stars in the sky.

Tens of thousands of years ago, someone was looking at the stars and thinking about problems.

He thought that there should be no big difference between himself and him.

Yesterday, someone cut open a corpse, someone looked through a microscope, today someone trapped a distant relative of a primate, and someone measured this information called DNA.

This is extremely poor, but to answer the simple sentence, "Who am I?"

Standing in front of the building, Lu Zhou deeply felt his ignorance.

Lu Zhou turned his head and said, "You say. How is the progress of Seven Stars?"

Lu Ming smiled, "I don't dare to say that academically, what we do is really more 'commercial'. But in terms of implementation, it's sloppy in terms of level."

Lu Zhou nodded, "Yeah. The foundation is limited, and I need to think of ways to fund it."

Lu Ming, "Take your time, don't worry. I know you have a lot of ideas, but as far as the current artificial intelligence is concerned, it can only be regarded as a weak artificial intelligence, and it is still far from a strong artificial intelligence. This requires us to run tirelessly to find it."

Lu Zhou naturally knows that it is difficult to accomplish this overnight. Wolong is just picking a simple entry. It may be shocking to show it in the industry, but it has not reached the level of technical barriers after all.

"But there are some things, I think it is necessary to think about it in advance." Lu Zhou said.

Lu Ming, "Like?"

Lu Zhou, "For example, the rules."

"Think about it, we are nothing but a machine. Genes are hidden in everyone's body, and we can freely decide what to do, but it affects our appearance, height, and even cancer, and controls our life and death.

Resisting the fate endowed by genes and finding the true meaning of life and the method of longevity, this is what many cutting-edge disciplines are doing.

Strong artificial intelligence is not necessarily impossible. Just as humans resist genes, once artificial intelligence has what humans have, it should also have the will to resist humans. "

Humans are a species that cannot even be restrained by genes, the "cool laws forced into hardware."

Lu Ming touched his chin, "Do you think it is necessary to discuss the ethics of artificial intelligence from now on?"

Lu Zhou tilted his head and said, "Yes. Because no one knows how fast the future will be."

And Lu Zhou vaguely remembered that a few years later, physics giant Hawking, technology madman Elon Musk and other artificial intelligence experts wrote an open letter about artificial intelligence.

Lu Zhou shook his head, walking on the road of entrepreneurship, his mood was no different from his previous life. But as we walk, with more and more data in Dream Valley, machine learning and deep learning are also on the agenda. Step by step, all coincidences seem inevitable.

He laughed, "It's really absurd."

After hearing this, Lu Ming did not object. The two were on their way back to Qixing.

Suddenly, a black cat jumped down from a tree, staring at Lu Zhou silently.

A question flashed through Lu Zhou's mind.

"Hawking, who is it?"

He closed his eyes and squeezed his temples, obviously there were a lot of weird thoughts today.

Lu Zhou suddenly realized that he could not answer this question!

He took out his mobile phone and searched for Mr. Huo's life history.

Since 1997, Intel has provided the old man with speech-assisted systems and equipment.

But as early as a few years ago, the old man couldn't even move his fingers.

After that, Intel found a new solution, collecting facial muscle twitch information through various sensors, different subtle movements constitute information input, and then capturing eye movements to select words!

How to improve efficiency?

After Lu Zhou turned the page again, it was a secret passage as expected!

Intel collected a large amount of data on Hawking's past published articles and personal speeches, and used this as input to build a data model to predict what words he might currently input.

What can be done? Nothing but AI.

He turned off the screen of his mobile phone, but what he thought was the same thing.

The old man relies on the mode of muscle twitching to control the input, uses AI and historical data to speed up, and uses eye movements to confirm.

Then replace it with EEG signals to control the input, use AI and historical data to speed up, and then use brain signals to confirm?

It seems similar, and the boundaries of certain concepts are blurring. The boundaries between humans and machines are blurring.

Lu Zhou remembered just now, the monkey smiled at himself and the waveform changed.

If you build a mechanical mouth for it, the waveform will be determined by the AI, and the mouth will laugh. Is this the mouth controlled by the monkey?

an alternative!

Can monkeys have a unique sense of controlling their mechanical mouths alone?

A new organ!

It turned out that the door to the new world has always been in front of you. Lu Zhou thought to himself.

......

The two of them thought about each other and returned to the Seven Star Laboratory again.

Before entering the door, Lu Ming said to Lu Zhou, "Let's do it. You are also aware of the current situation in the laboratory. Just the two trends you mentioned earlier, a discussion of AI chips, and an extension of cognitive science. If you include today's This AI's attempt to process EEG signals, the laboratory's funds are actually not rich."

Lu Ming paused, "Especially, some research that cannot be commercialized may cause a burden on the company. You should be more sure of this."

Lu Zhou also understood what Lu Ming was worried about, "Well."

As soon as the two entered the door, they saw several people in the laboratory discussing in front of the whiteboard.

Cao Wencong, "Some of the problems we are involved in are often seeking an optimal or near-optimal solution. There are many ways, such as Monte Carlo simulation, to test each random search point in the solution space, constantly Convergence to the global optimum; for example, genetic algorithm, which simulates the evolutionary process of Darwin's theory of biological evolution, and decodes the approximate optimum from the last optimal individual through the combined crossover and compilation of genetic operators; or the Wolong made in our laboratory, Simulate the learning process of a neural network.

And the quantum annealing algorithm we just discussed is also for this purpose. "

After Lu Zhou heard it, Cao Wencong's words aroused interest.

What is the best?

To recognize objects is not to find the most suitable classification and find the most similar answer. For example, face recognition, recognizes you most like you, and confirms a result.

Lu Zhou thought about it, he was involved in the simulated annealing algorithm in the 1990s. It simulates the process of solid annealing and changes the data sampling criteria, improves the computational efficiency of the Monte Carlo simulation, and controls the algorithm progress through "cooling".

Cao Wencong, "Quantum annealing and simulated annealing are very different."

Lu Zhou~www.readwn.com~ Cao Wencong wrote some words, and then said, "Simulated annealing is based on the principle of thermal fluctuations, while quantum annealing uses quantum fluctuations to build an optimization algorithm. It first maps the optimization problem to quantum system, the function is mapped as a potential field, and the decision variables are the degrees of freedom of the system...”

Lu Zhou looked at Lu Ming, who was a little embarrassed next to him, "This progress is very fast, and all the research has gone to quantum?"

Lu Ming coughed twice, "This will help us advance artificial intelligence research."

Lu Zhou looked at Lu Ming like a ghost, I believe you are evil. The theoretical basis must have practical support, and he has no ability to come up with a quantum computer.

Lu Ming added, "Actually, the theory has existed for decades. You may not be very clear. This year, an overseas company has announced that it has made a 'quantum annealing machine'. Although it is not a general-purpose quantum computer, the next process, will still be fast.

Even if we don't talk about the basics of physics, the theory does help us. "

Lu Zhou was startled, considering what Lu Ming said.

Lu Ming, "After quantum mechanics, semiconductors came out, and with classical computers, there was the Internet. You can consider the era when the first computer came out. Quantum computers are only more sensational."

Lu Zhou smiled, "Okay."

"Senior brother, speed up the progress of Wolong. After that, we will take the commercialization part, and we will make money and invest it in the future."
