Military Technology

After wandering around, seeing that there was no valuable discovery, Jiang Nan simply said to Wu Hao: "I'm here to explore on behalf of the audience this time, so you won't let me go back in disappointment. You posted that What about the new technology in the video, don't you plan to let us see it?"

Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "Of course, we are all ready, please come here."

Speaking of which, Wu Hao took Jiang Nan and the others to the test center in the middle of the laboratory, and then took out a small microphone and handed it to her: "This is our latest research and development of intelligent voice assistant, you can try to say hello to it."

Jiang Nan nodded and took the microphone, but held it in his hand for a long time without speaking. Finally, he turned to Wu Hao and asked, "What should I say?"

"Anything, anything is fine, this is a test for us in disguise." Wu Hao said with a smile.

Jiang Nan smiled when he heard the words, thought for a moment and then said into the microphone: "Hello, I'm Jiang Nan, nice to meet you."

Jiang Nan's words fell, and a young and beautiful female voice came from the speaker not far away: "Hello, Miss Jiang Nan, welcome to our house."

"Huh?" Jiang Nan was a little surprised when he heard the words, and then asked Wu Hao, "Can it identify the gender of the user?"

Wu Hao nodded and said, "Yes, everyone's voice, tone, tone, tone, tone and frequency are different, and the same is true between men and women. This system can collect user voice information for analysis to determine the user's gender. This accuracy we Ninety-nine percent can do it, and one percent has a special voice, so it's hard to tell the difference."

"Can you briefly introduce yourself?" Jiang Nan asked with a smile at the microphone.

Soon, the speaker sounded: "Hello, I'm 14 (one four), Mr. Wu Hao's personal assistant, nice to meet you."

"Is 14 your number?" Jiang Nan asked.

The sound replied: "No, 14 is my name. Miss Jiang Nan, I can do something for you."

"Uh, what do you know?" Jiang Nan said with more interest.

The audio sounded: "My job is to provide daily information services for my host, Mr. Wu Hao, and to provide relevant services to the visitors who come here. I can adjust the temperature of the air conditioner, the intensity of the lights, and put the bath water for you. Broadcasting TV channels, ordering takeout to read the news, forecasting the weather, etc. What do you need?"

"No, thank you, can I ask you a question?" Jiang Nan glanced at Wu Hao who was standing beside him, and then the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Of course, I'd be happy to help you."

Jiang Nan put away his smile and said sternly, "Will you hurt humans?"

"Sorry, I didn't understand you."

"I said, will you hurt humans?" Jiang Nan repeated at a slower pace.

"Sorry, I can't understand what you mean."

Jiang Nan was a little puzzled when he heard the words, then turned to look at Wu Hao and said, "Is it avoiding the question or refusing to answer."

Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "It's not about evading and deploying refusal to answer, but we didn't set up relevant answers for it, and we didn't even include questions in this regard for it."

"Well, didn't you set the Three Laws of Robotics (Note 1) for it?" Jiang Nan asked in surprise.

Wu Hao shook his head and said, "Let's talk while walking."

"it is good!"

Jiang Nan nodded and then walked outside with Wu Hao, and said eagerly, "Can I understand that you are avoiding this problem?"

Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "This is not evasion, but our current technology has not reached that level, so there is no need for this for the time being."

"But I think your technology is already very annoying and developed,

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have noticed it was an AI voice assistant. No matter the thinking logic is very fast and meticulous, and the language is very natural. "Jiang Nan said.

Wu Hao explained with a smile: "In fact, it is an AI voice assistant, but it is a little more humanized than other voice assistants."

"Isn't humanization the characteristic of intelligent robots? From this point of view, is it rare that it is not an intelligent robot?" Jiang Nan threw another sharp question.

Walking into the already arranged recording site, Wu Hao explained with a smile: "Humanization actually has many meanings, it is not exclusive to intelligent robots. For example, we sometimes say that the performance of a dog and a cat is more humanized. Do they have the commanding thinking of human beings?

AI, artificial intelligence, it is actually divided into many categories. What we are currently exposed to or use can be called weak artificial intelligence, and what we are looking forward to and what everyone is worried about is strong artificial intelligence. "

"What's the difference between the two." The two sat down, and the makeup artist began to help them put on makeup. Despite this, Jiang Nan continued to ask him.

Wu Hao smiled and said: "The intelligence is different, and the thinking structure and way of thinking are also different.

In my opinion, strong artificial intelligence is to have its own independent personality, to be able to think independently, and to have its own soul.

As for weak artificial intelligence, it is just an imitation of the human way of thinking, and the two are far from each other. "

"soul?"

Jiang Nan showed a puzzled expression: "How should this be understood, whether it belongs to the field of science or the field of theology."

Wu Hao smiled and waved his hand: "Actually, we are still in a very early stage of understanding the soul. You will find that there is not much difference between the understanding and definition of the soul in science and theology. The boundaries are blurred.

What I'm talking about here actually refers to independent consciousness, which is the key to judging that a machine or a program really has human characteristics or human nature. "

Hearing Wu Hao's introduction, Jiang Nan nodded, and then asked him, "What about your intelligent voice assistant, what stage has it reached and whether it has human consciousness?"

Wu Hao shook his head and said, "No, it's just a program. To put it bluntly, it actually responds to the user's words or commands.

There are thousands of such responses, and the advanced technology of our technology is to select a response that best fits the actual scene among these thousands of responses, and express it in a way of simulating a real voice. "

"So it's just a smarter intelligent voice program." Jiang Nan looked at him and said.

Wu Hao nodded and smiled: "Yes, it's a smarter voice program. It's just that everyone's expectations for it are too high, so there is controversy and fear."

"You mean this is the fear that people have of the unknown." Jiang Nan summed up the meaning of his words.

Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "No, it's people's fear of themselves."

[Note 1: The Three Laws of Robotics":

1. Robots must not harm people, nor stand by while seeing people being harmed

2. Robots should obey all human orders, but must not violate the first law

3. Robots should protect their own safety, but must not violate the first and second laws

The Zero Law of Robotics was later added: Robots must protect the overall interests of humanity from harm. 】
