Chapter 197 Artificial Intelligence
"Dear Mr. J, hello." The young man greeted politely.

After Jiang Fan also greeted, he said: "Mr. L, I'm currently studying the content of material science thousands of years ago.

I found that they were really inefficient in doing things in that era. To make a material, it takes a long time to test in the actual environment to get the performance parameters.

For some durable materials, the test time even takes as long as half a year.

Not only that, but almost most of their basic inventions, especially the achievements in some core fields, such as aircraft engines, must be tested in the actual environment for the same period of time before they can be used, which usually takes a year or two.

It's such a waste of time, and it's no wonder their civilization progresses so slowly.

So I want to hear your thoughts, do you think this is an important reason for hindering their civilization progress? "

Hearing what Jiang Fan said, the young man nodded repeatedly and said, "Mr. J, what you said is absolutely right, it is true.

The key to research and development and the most time-consuming is the verification link. Five ideas can be discussed in one hour, but in that era, it often took 5 weeks, 5 months or even longer to verify these 5 ideas.

If the verification can be completed in 5 minutes like ours, the results of that year may have been completed in a 2-hour meeting.

It's just a pity that their artificial intelligence is still at the most elementary stage. It's okay to use some alpha dog to play chess, but it's far from enough to carry out this kind of all-round simulation calculation. "

"Artificial intelligence?" Jiang Fan caught Huadian, coughed lightly and said, "Indeed, this uses a very complicated principle, and their cognition at that time may not be able to understand it to this extent."

The young people agreed: "You are right, they are still in the initial stage of weak artificial intelligence, at best they are just getting started.

To solve this problem, it needs strong artificial intelligence to solve it, or at least wait until they develop to the advanced stage of weak artificial intelligence to solve this problem to some extent.

As for the principles used in it, it is complicated and complicated, but even ordinary people of their era can understand it when abstracted. "

Seeing that Jiang Fan didn't answer, the young man wondered if he wanted him to continue, so he continued:
"In fact, the solution idea is similar to the basic weak artificial intelligence, that is, the machine learning they talked about in that era.

It also allows artificial intelligence to learn massive historical data and build algorithms.

Just like the materials you just mentioned, there may be 10 to 100 million kinds of materials that they have researched before, including those with some slight differences.

Then you only need to throw the various data of these 100 million materials to artificial intelligence to learn, and it can come up with a verification model that matches these materials.

In this way, when there is a new material that needs to be verified, its complete parameters can be thrown to this artificial intelligence verification model, and the test can be skipped and quickly judged.

And the logical basis for such results to be trusted is that if the historical data of the previous 100 million times support the conclusions drawn by this model, then there are sufficient reasons to believe that the 1 new results passed the artificial intelligence test. The data will also be accurate.

Because the probability of its error is less than one in 100 million, it can be considered as zero error in statistics. After all, even if it is a real experiment, there will still be errors due to various weather, temperature and other factors, and the error may be even greater. One in a million.

So from this point of view, the results of this virtual simulation test are more reliable than the results of real experiments.

But the so-called machine learning algorithms of their era were too low-level, and convolutional neural networks were still used, so even with 100 million data, they could not come up with an efficient verification model using the artificial intelligence programs of that era. "

Jiang Fan understands it, the principle is really not difficult to understand, just like the first million times I saw the leaves move when the wind blows over, so even if I don't understand any mechanical principles, I have enough reason to believe that 100 times When the wind blows, the leaves will definitely move. It is the same reason.

Jiang Fan felt that this was fine, so he said to the young man: "The explanation is good, that's the reason. By the way, do you have an artificial intelligence program here? Give me one and I'll be useful."

The young man froze for a moment when he heard this, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then asked cautiously: "Do you want a set of super artificial intelligence?"

The young man felt that Mr. J's level of speech, probably only because of his fancy, made him a little at a loss.

Jiang Fan knows that artificial intelligence is divided into weak artificial intelligence, strong artificial intelligence and super artificial intelligence.

Weak artificial intelligence is the artificial intelligence of AlphaGo that can only replace human beings in a certain field of work. It looks awesome, but it is actually the weakest weak chicken in the real artificial intelligence system.

And strong artificial intelligence is going to be a little more powerful. It has the same level of intelligence as humans and can replace most of the work in life for ordinary people, which is much more powerful.

In the next step, the intelligence level of super artificial intelligence will completely surpass that of human beings, and it will be an extremely intelligent existence.

Jiang Fan felt that this thing is for his own use anyway, and he doesn't need to do reverse research and development for anyone, so he just came up with the most powerful one, so he said, "Yes, give me a set of super artificial intelligence."

After the young people confirmed the completion, their emotions became a little disconnected. After considering for a long time, they looked at Jiang Fan and said:
"Um, Mr. J, maybe you forgot about this matter, you know that in fact super artificial intelligence is strictly blocked, and all human beings have only built more than 100 super artificial intelligence brains, and it is impossible for ordinary people to get them of."

"Oh?" Jiang Fan wondered, why?
The young man continued to explain: "As you know, 300 years ago, we had a great battle with super artificial intelligence, and the entire human race was almost wiped out.

Fortunately, a hero surnamed Jiang appeared in our Huaxia tribe, who turned the tide and helped the building to collapse. Using the virus he developed and his excellent personal planning and leadership, he defeated the rebellion of the super artificial intelligence.

And also because of that battle, a large number of ancient ruins and ancient cultural relics were destroyed or lost, which is why antiques are becoming more and more valuable now.

So for a long time after that, artificial intelligence was completely banned, especially super artificial intelligence, but anyone who created even a small part of it would face the most severe lawsuits and lawsuits by the Galactic Federation for crimes against humanity. penalty.

So in those days, even an accidental mention of the word would cause public panic, let alone a wanton discussion like ours. "

"But didn't we still turn it on later?" Jiang Fan remembered that the young man said that there are more than 100 super artificial intelligences, so he asked.
