The Science Fiction World of Xueba

Dong Qing was still a little surprised, and said curiously: "Professor Pang, I didn't expect you to still have research in the field of artificial intelligence."

Pang Xuelin said with a smile: "It's just a personal interest. The essence of artificial intelligence is still a problem of mathematical algorithms. In addition, I taught myself programming, so I wrote a small program for artificial intelligence. But its main body is not in this notebook. Inside, it is connected to a computing cluster through the network, and that computing cluster is placed in a house that my mother bought me. I won the Millennium Award last year, and most of the money went into it.”

Dong Qing nodded with a vague understanding, and said, "Professor Pang, can I say hello to oss?"

"Of course, you can still chat with it."

Pang Xuelin smiled lightly.

Pang Xuelin is very clear that whether he launches graphene lithium-air batteries or carbon-based chips in the future, it is likely to change the rules of the game in the world and attract a lot of attention to him.

Therefore, his previous purchases of those large servers were not investigated at all.

Instead, it is better to take the initiative to expose these now.

Moreover, what is currently installed in the computing cluster is only a clone of oss, a weak artificial intelligence, and the real main body of oss is still in the quantum computer in the system space.

Even if someone investigates him, there is no need to worry about any problems.

Dong Qing leaned forward curiously and said, "Oss, hello!"

"Sister Dong Qing, hello!"

oss replied politely.

Dong Qing said: "Oss, do you know me?"

"I know you. You are sister Dong Qing, from CCTV. You are here to interview our family, Professor Pang."

Dong Qing and several CCTV staff looked at each other, and said with a smile: "How do you know that I came to interview your family Professor Pang?"

Oss said: "You are from CCTV, and you brought so many cameras here. Our Professor Pang solved the Polignac conjecture not long ago. The possibility of you coming to interview our Professor Pang is more than 90% five."

Dong Qing couldn't help raising his head, looked at Pang Xuelin and said, "Professor Pang, oss is so smart!"

Pang Xuelin smiled slightly and said, "oss has passed the Turing test."

"Turing test?"

"It is a test for artificial intelligence. It is an experiment proposed by the British mathematician Turing in 1950 to judge whether a machine can think. Turing believes that if people have a conversation with a computer, people cannot judge whether the other party is a machine or a machine. People, that proves that computers can think.”

Pang Xuelin laughed.

At this time, oss's voice sounded again: "Professor Pang, I think what you said is wrong."

"No, what's wrong?"

Oss said: "Essentially speaking, the Turing test itself is still trying to be human-centered and anthropomorphize artificial intelligence.

In fact, this is also the mainstream view of science fiction and science fiction film and television dramas. But I think that artificial intelligence in the true sense is not anthropomorphic intelligence. Trying to make artificial intelligence have the same characteristics as human beings, such as anger, jealousy, confusion, greed, pride, and desire, is a wrong way. "

Dong Qing asked curiously: "Oss, do you think you are a real artificial intelligence?"

oss said: "I'm not yet."

"Why?"

"Artificial intelligence in the true sense is strong artificial intelligence, which has the ability to think independently. Now I can only make some simple independent judgments, and do some deep learning through the network. I think I should stand at the pinnacle of weak artificial intelligence. "

Dong Qing couldn't help being stunned for a moment, turned his gaze to Pang Xuelin, and asked, "Professor Pang, can I record the conversation with oss just now?"

Relying on the intuition of a media person, Dong Qing felt that oss contained great news value.

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "No problem."

Dong Qing nodded and said, "Professor Pang, then you should do your work first, I'll go out for a while."

After all, Dong Qing winked at the CCTV staff who followed the filming, and she went outside the house by herself.

After thinking about it, Dong Qing contacted Dr. Nie Dong, Chief Scientist of Ali Artificial Intelligence Laboratory through his own contacts.

The two first exchanged a few words through WeChat, and Dong Qing directly dialed Nie Dong's mobile phone number.

Soon, the phone was picked up.

Dong Qing said: "Dr. Nie, hello, I am Dong Qing from CCTV, that's it. I heard Lao Tong said that you are an expert in the field of artificial intelligence. I have a few questions to ask?"

"Ms. Dong, if you have any questions, just ask!"

Nie Dong said.

Dong Qing said: "Is there any artificial intelligence that has passed the Turing test in the world?"

Nie Dong was slightly taken aback, and said: "There are, but not many. Two years ago, at Google's io developer conference, Google demonstrated duplex artificial intelligence voice technology. This AI can imitate the tone and speed of real people. It helps users to complete the booking operation of hair salons and restaurants with smooth human-computer interaction. Judging from the information disclosed by Google, this AI should have passed the Turing test. In addition, inside our artificial intelligence laboratory in Ali, There is also an AI that has passed manual testing."

Dong Qing asked: "Is it possible that a mathematician single-handedly developed an artificial intelligence that can pass the Turing test?"

"This is impossible!"

Nie Dong didn't even think about it.

"Why?"

Dong Qing asked curiously.

Nie Dong smiled and said: "Ms. Dong, you may not understand that artificial intelligence involves a wide range of fields, such as machine learning, neural network, natural language processing, machine vision, etc. Most of the world's top artificial intelligence experts It’s just that it has made achievements in a single field. If you want to create a real artificial intelligence, you must have a huge team..."

"But today I saw that someone personally created a powerful artificial intelligence and passed the Turing test."

Dong Qing took a deep breath and said.

"It's impossible, either this person is a liar, or this person is joking."

Dong Qing said with a wry smile: "The possibility of him deceiving people is very low, and with his academic status, I'm afraid he doesn't bother to cheat."

Nie Dong was slightly taken aback, and asked in confusion, "Who is this person?"

Dong Qing said: "Pang Xuelin!"

"Pang Xuelin?"

Nie Dong's voice suddenly became louder, and he said, "Isn't Professor Pang an expert in mathematics? I haven't heard that he has made any achievements in the field of artificial intelligence!"

Dong Qing said: "I thought so before, until today when I went to his house for an interview, I saw his assisted voice artificial intelligence called oss. Not only can oss recognize my appearance, but it can also chat with me. I didn’t feel that the other party was a machine at all.”
