Xueba's life simulator

Chapter 268 Inquiry
After the news that Zhou Ming was going to shift his research focus from the two fields of biology and mathematics to the field of artificial intelligence spread, some people who usually have a good relationship with Zhou Ming also approached Zhou Ming one after another, asking him whether the matter was true or not.

On the second day after the relevant interview was broadcast, when Zhou Ming returned to the campus of Huaguo University of Science and Technology, Zhang Mingjie, the dean of the School of Life Sciences of Huaguo University of Science and Technology, and Li Zhiming, the dean of the School of Mathematical Sciences, came to Zhou Ming's campus together. Find him in the office.Ask him about his plans to shift the focus of his research to artificial intelligence.

"Is the interview broadcast on TV yesterday true? Do you really plan to focus your future research on artificial intelligence?" Zhang Mingjie was asking Zhou Ming at this time.

"I've already told the people of the whole country, so naturally I won't lie." Zhou Ming said.

"Didn't you say you were going to study Hodge's conjecture before? I thought you would focus on the field of mathematics after you finished your research on 'evolution of genetic medicine'. "Li Mingzhi on the side asked Zhou Ming quickly after he finished speaking.

"I'm going to study Hodge's conjecture later, but didn't I say it before, it will take some time for me to study Hodge's conjecture. And you don't have to look like this. I don't just plunge into the circle of artificial intelligence I can’t come out anymore, after I realize some of my ideas on artificial intelligence this time, I will return to the fields of mathematics and biology.”

Seeing that Li Mingzhi and Zhang Mingjie both looked sad as if they were mourning for their heirs, Zhou Ming also comforted them.

This is not to blame for Zhang Mingjie and Li Mingzhi. After all, it has only been four years since Zhou Ming emerged in [-] until the end of [-].

However, in the past four years, the mathematics and biology fields of Huaguo, and even the whole world, have undergone tremendous changes.

Although it is not to say that the changes in these four years are worth the changes in the previous 100 years, at least in the fields of mathematics and biology, the development in these four years must surpass the previous two to thirty years.

If it continues to develop at this speed, neither of them can imagine how the biological field in Huaguo will develop in ten years.

But now, Zhou Ming is actually planning to focus his research on the field of artificial intelligence. Doesn't this mean that the development of domestic biology and mathematics will return to the speed before [-]?

Now that you are used to taking the high-speed rail, who would accept that you should be a carriage?This is naturally unacceptable to Zhang Mingjie and Li Mingzhi.

When they usually take the high-speed rail, they can reach their destination in one day. If it is changed to a horse-drawn carriage, the journey will take a month a day.

"Besides, although I focus my research on artificial intelligence, the development speed of the domestic biological field will not be much slower. My biological experiment team and experimental team, as well as future biotechnology companies will continue to study of.

You see, when I was studying 'evolution', did any of my other experimental projects stagnate?no. "Zhou Ming said to them again.

In Zhou Ming's view, Zhang Mingjie and Li Mingzhi's worries were completely unnecessary.

Let's talk about mathematics first. Even if Zhou Ming didn't focus his research on artificial intelligence, his research in the field of mathematics has been interrupted for a while.

Besides, when I used the life simulator a few times before, the development of mathematics in those simulated worlds was very slow, and there were no major breakthroughs after decades of development.

If Zhou Ming continues to delve into the field of mathematics, it is almost impossible to quickly solve Hodge's conjecture within a few months, just like when he solved the twin prime number conjecture, Goldbach's conjecture and Riemann's conjecture before. something happened.

According to Zhou Ming's prediction, with his current level of knowledge and strength, if he studies wholeheartedly, he is sure to solve the problem of Hodge's conjecture, but it will take at least several years. This is after he devotes himself wholeheartedly to it. The time it takes based on Hodge's conjecture.

If he studies Hodge's conjecture while studying other fields, Zhou Ming thinks that the time will definitely increase a lot.

That being the case, he might as well focus his research on the tasks of the life simulator first, and use the life simulator to simulate after completing the tasks.

If the development of mathematics in this simulated world is not bad, after Zhou Ming acquires the knowledge, he can also quickly send out some future mathematical knowledge in the real world in advance, and save his time. Why not do it? ?
If the development of mathematics in this simulated world is still half-dead, then Zhou Ming can also arrange his next action plan according to the tasks that need to be completed when using the life simulator next time.

In any case, after completing the tasks released by this life simulator, it is not a loss to think about mathematics.

Moreover, Zhou Ming is not really abandoning mathematics completely now. He usually spends a little free time on mathematics. He said that when he was studying the "evolution" of genetic drugs, time was so tight. Zhou Ming night Still spend a little time on math.

In addition, when Zhou Ming solved the twin prime number conjecture, Goldbach's conjecture and Riemann's conjecture, he also used a lot of new mathematical knowledge in the future, which is enough for many mathematicians to digest for a while.

This is like feeding ducks by force-feeding, but you can’t keep feeding the duck’s stomach with food. You have to let it digest and digest it when you’ve almost finished it, and then continue to feed it when it’s almost digested.

After chatting with Zhou Ming for a while, Zhang Mingjie and Li Zhizhi saw that Zhou Ming had also made up his mind, so they didn't say anything more, but simply chatted with Zhou Ming about artificial intelligence.

"Then what is your idea about artificial intelligence this time? Is it the same as the previous artificial intelligence that can accurately predict the structure of proteins, is it an artificial intelligence combined with biology?" Zhang Mingjie asked Zhou Ming curiously.

In Zhang Mingjie's view, if the artificial intelligence that Zhou Ming plans to study this time is the same as the previous artificial intelligence that can accurately predict the structure of proteins, it is still studying biology, not artificial intelligence.

"Not this time, I want to develop a kind of artificial intelligence with autonomous consciousness this time." This matter is not a secret that cannot be revealed. Also explained to them.

However, after hearing what Zhou Ming had said, Zhang Mingjie and Li Mingzhi also looked at each other in surprise at the same time, and then they both looked at Zhou Ming. Both of them wondered if they had heard it wrong.

Artificial intelligence with autonomous consciousness?Although one of Zhang Mingjie and Li Zhizhi is studying biology and the other is studying mathematics, both of them also know that this thing has not been written yet, and Zhou Ming is planning to reach the sky in one step.

If there was a computer professor at the scene, when he heard what Zhou Ming said, the degree of disbelief in his heart would definitely be higher than that of Zhang Mingjie and Li Zhizhi.

Because the first paper written by Zhou Ming on artificial intelligence was published in the "Journal of Intelligent Systems" titled "Discussion on an Algorithm for Training Neural Networks and Performing Other Tasks", in this article For the first time, he divided primary artificial intelligence into pre-primary artificial intelligence and post-primary artificial intelligence.

However, the current level of artificial intelligence in the world is still in the pre-primary artificial intelligence stage. Now the artificial intelligence with autonomous consciousness mentioned by Zhou Ming already belongs to the category of strong artificial intelligence. Zhou Ming is directly skipping the level.

For example, the world's artificial intelligence is still at the level of the first grader, but the artificial intelligence with autonomous consciousness proposed by Zhou Ming is already at the level of the first grader.

As for when Zhou Ming used the life simulator before, the artificial intelligence that appeared in the future of the simulated world not only possessed autonomous consciousness, but also possessed human emotions, and broke the underlying logic restrictions set by humans when creating artificial intelligence, It belongs to the freshman level.

"Is this not a joke? Although the two of us don't know much about artificial intelligence, we are not the kind of old-fashioned people who don't care about world affairs. We have a little understanding of the current level of artificial intelligence. Now artificial intelligence is only afraid. You haven’t even touched the door of autonomous consciousness, how are you going to study it?”

After hearing Zhou Ming say that he wanted to develop an artificial intelligence with autonomous consciousness this time, Li Mingzhi spoke first.

"That's right, and if you want artificial intelligence to generate autonomous consciousness, you must at least be able to figure out what the principle of human autonomous consciousness is, right? Human research on this aspect is just getting started." Zhang Mingjie also Said to Zhou Ming.

"Don't worry about it, I know it well. It's too professional to talk about it in detail. You don't study this, and you don't understand it, so I won't tell you in detail. Actually , to be more precise, it should have partial self-awareness." Zhou Ming explained.

In fact, the task given by the life simulator is not that simple. The requirement of the life simulator is for Zhou Ming to develop an artificial intelligence that is like a human being, possessing human emotions and self-awareness.

This time, it was impossible for Zhou Ming to get in touch with the higher-ups like he did in the previous research on the "evolution" of genetic medicines, and let the higher-ups call most of the talents in related fields in Huaguo to participate in this research.

Because "evolution" is a kind of genetic medicine, its research will be of great benefit to the ordinary people of Huaguo, and to the high-level officials of Huaguo, so the people above will stand by Zhou Ming's side , because they also want to see the drug interview as early as possible.

However, from an intuitive point of view, this artificial intelligence with human emotions and autonomous consciousness, whether it is for ordinary people or high-level people, has no effect on the "evolution" of genetic drugs.

It's not like you can directly upload human consciousness to achieve another kind of immortality. If you can do this, no matter whether it's the people above or the ordinary people below, they will definitely support it.

Therefore, this time, Zhou Ming can only realize the research on artificial intelligence with human emotions and autonomous consciousness through the company.

The research of artificial intelligence with human emotion and autonomous consciousness is more difficult than the "evolution" of genetic medicine, but the available resources and manpower are less than when studying the "evolution" of genetic medicine before. The research on artificial intelligence with self-awareness will probably only take much longer than the research on the "evolution" of genetic medicine.

This is also a helpless thing. At that time, the other two tasks [Fusion Light] and [Longevity] given by the life simulator took longer than the [Mechanical Heart] selected by Zhou Ming. It's even more tricky. This is already the shortest time-consuming task among the three tasks given by the life simulator, and it's not such a tricky task.

“We don’t understand the details of this artificial intelligence, but I still know that the current technology is still far from being able to develop artificial intelligence with autonomous consciousness.

But since you have said that you know what is in your heart, I will not say anything more. After all, almost none of the things you research should appear in the current technology, but all of them are researched by you. Out.

It seems that the field of artificial intelligence in China is about to make a qualitative leap. "

When Li Mingzhi said this, he smiled, looked at Zhou Ming, and continued to say to him, "I saw someone on the Internet last night suggesting to buy stocks related to artificial intelligence. What do you think?"

Zhou Ming knew that apart from changing the subject, Li Mingzhi also made a little money by shorting the four major grain merchants under Zhou Ming's suggestion.

"This time is different from the last time. Last time when I suggested to you, the results have already been produced, but this time about artificial intelligence, I just said this idea, and I haven't even started to participate in the research.

Moreover, the research progress on artificial intelligence may not be too fast this time. If you really want to buy stocks, I don't recommend buying them now.

There are many people buying now, and although the related stocks are sure to rise, they will still fall when the whole limelight passes.

But you don't know the specific time when it will fall. I am worried that after you buy it, you will think it will keep rising when you see it rising, and you don't know how to sell it. "

Zhou Ming persuaded Li Mingzhi that although Li Mingzhi was much older than Zhou Ming and could be Zhou Ming's grandfather, he would not do anything about stock trading except for Zhou Ming's last recommendation, so There is no experience in this area.

Zhang Mingjie on the side had also heard from Li Zhizhi that he had heard Zhou Ming's words about shorting the four major grains and making a small fortune, so this time after Li Zhizhi and Zhou Ming mentioned the stocks, he also listened very carefully.

After Zhou Ming finished speaking, Li Mingzhi also said, "That's fine, I'll listen to you."
