Revisiting Future Path

229th Brain-Computer Fusion

Ji Susu replied: "The second method is to build walls and accumulate food. If you look at Internet companies around the world, if you look at the market value of heroes, Google ranks first, Amazon ranks second, Spring and Autumn ranks third, and Tencent ranks fourth. In this round of Internet wave, there is nothing about Japan, nor is there anything about EU countries such as Britain, France, Germany, and Italy. Apart from personal success, the fundamental reason why China can compete with the United States is because of its huge market and The economy is developing rapidly."

"If you were born in Laos, a country with a population of more than 6 million, it would be difficult to start enterprises like Chunqiu, Zhiyu, Zhixing, and Zhuwei no matter how smart you are. Laos does not have a sufficient market, and there is a lack of sufficient talent pool. Even if Laos emerges Zhuo's genius can only go to Silicon Valley to emigrate and start a business, staying in the United States like Sergey_Brin and Peter_Thiel. There is also Jobs. If his father could not immigrate to the United States that year, how could Jobs have a chance to start Apple? Perhaps in another parallel time and space, Jobs is wearing a white turban in Syria, worrying about the successive droughts since 2004, and worrying about whether the conflict between Israel and Lebanon will trigger a new round of the Middle East crisis."

"Brin is rooted in Russia, and Google will never be as big as it is today; Till is rooted in Ukraine, and PayPal will never become a trend; when Jobs returns to the ancestral land of Syria, Apple will definitely become a dream. Market, infrastructure, environment, and ecology are all that The foundation of Silicon Valley's strength. The United States is strong first, and then Silicon Valley can attract global elites, so that Russians, Ukrainians, and Syrian descendants will all serve the United States."

"The foundation of military strength is industrial strength. With enough industrial strength, the United States can dominate the world."

"In industrial strength, there are only two standards for whether it is advanced or powerful: quality and quantity. After quality reaches the qualified line, quantity is more important than quality. The basis of quantity is production efficiency, and artificial intelligence is the core key to improving production efficiency. Think about it, if Chunqiu takes the lead in making a major breakthrough in artificial intelligence, something that can only be done by 1,000 employees in another company can be done by two or three employees here in Chunqiu. How can they compete with us? Just like Chunqiu Search and Baidu Search The war between the two, strong capital and super high work efficiency, can completely obliterate a certain time advantage."

Wei Dongsheng understood what Ji Susu meant.

Ji Susu compares a company to a country.

Just as the United States does not care about the emergence of talented elites in Ukraine and Laos, if Chunqiu, Zhiyu, Zhixing, and Zhuwei are strong to a certain extent, they can also absorb elites from all over the world who hold the key to the future into their own system for my use.

Ji Susu puts production efficiency first and judged that artificial intelligence is the key to improving production efficiency. Wei Dongsheng did not fully agree with Ji Susu's judgment: her ideas were right and impractical.

But in any case, this is Ji Susu's own consideration.

In just four years of undergraduate, Ji Susu also ushered in her transformation. Four years ago, Ji Susu had no knowledge of basic computer knowledge, and his understanding of the Internet was limited to QQ, online games, web pages and other products that could be seen by the naked eye; four years later, whether it was right or wrong, Ji Susu had already begun to look through the surface. Researching the nature of the problem, I have dared to face Wei Dongsheng confidently and said that "the glory of search engines will eventually end".

People will grow.

Wei Dongsheng was also psychologically prepared for Ji Susu's changes.

In fact, Wei Dongsheng wanted Ji Susu to do another job.

It is precisely considering that Ji Susu may already have his own ideas and ideals, that Wei Dongsheng communicated with her in a questioning attitude.

Wei Dongsheng did not comment on Ji Susu’s judgment, and continued to communicate in her tone: “The definition of artificial intelligence by the Spring and Autumn Search Artificial Intelligence Department is to enable machines to perform complex tasks that require human intelligence. However, complexity is a relative concept, and different times Even different people have different understandings of'complex work.' As far as the artificial intelligence department is concerned, Chunqiu actually has two completely different and even completely opposite research directions."

"The first direction is anthropomorphism, that is, to give machines a certain degree of intelligence and personality, making them feel more like humans. The future artificial intelligence imagined by the general public, and the threats of artificial intelligence rendered by movies and televisions, mostly belong to this category. The research direction The frontiers of the company are derived from deep learning of artificial neural networks, natural language processing...etc."

"The second direction is to read the automation of ‘artificial intelligence’, that is, not pursuing virtual concepts such as personality and emotions, but focusing on how to solve ‘complex tasks’ with minimal manpower.”

"In short, the first direction pursues machines with intelligence and emotion, more like humans; the second direction focuses on ‘complex work’ itself and is dedicated to solving problems efficiently."

Before Wei Dongsheng finished speaking, Ji Susu had already given the answer: "I choose the second direction."

Wei Dongsheng: "Tell me the reason?"

Ji Susu: "As you said, complex work is a relative concept."

"Hundreds of years ago, harvesting rice and wheat was a complicated task for farmers, because the tools at the time, the sickle, did not have'wisdom' and would not automatically reap. Looking at today's agriculture, very few people can manage data. Hundred acres of fertile land, the planter automatically sows, and the harvester automatically reaps. Modern people take the planter and the harvester as a matter of course. They feel that this is not wisdom, not intelligence, or complicated work; but looking back and reading the ancient novel, the planter Tools such as harvesters and harvesters were truly intelligent'artifacts' in the hearts of the people at that time."

"In my understanding, all wisdom is a relative concept, and all intelligence is also a relative concept."

"The'complex work' in the eyes of the ancients is not regarded as'complex work' now; the'complex work' in the eyes of today's people will not be regarded as'complex work' in the future."

"Wisdom is relative, and human wisdom is also relative. The concept that we sacred is definitely not the end of truth. Instead of entangled in whether human-like or non-human-like strong artificial intelligence (Bottom-Up_AI) can be born, it is better to go from shallow to deep. Take the lead in researching and manufacturing weak artificial intelligence (Top-Down_AI) to solve practical problems. In fact, I think natural language processing, deep learning, etc. belong to the category of weak artificial intelligence, which are the second research directions you just mentioned."

Similar to how Chunqiu Search faced the crisis, Wei Dongsheng did not fully agree with Ji Susu's judgment.

But it is certain that Ji Susu and Wei Dongsheng have similar ideas. Although he holds a computer intelligent life tool, Wei Dongsheng is unwilling to spend money to advance research on intelligent machines that can truly reason and think or are very similar to humans. Thirty years of memory told Wei Dongsheng that intelligent machines with real reasoning and thinking capabilities are neither easy to use nor reliable. If there is still a shadow empire advent event in this world, Wei Dongsheng will not start relevant research before 2018; if there is no shadow empire advent event in this world, Wei Dongsheng will not start relevant research until he dominates the world.

After thinking about it, Wei Dongsheng gave up the preparatory rhetoric.

Wei Dongsheng raised his left hand and looked at the time: "Time is not enough, let's talk about it another day."

Ji Susu: "Okay."

Ji Susu asked Wei Dongsheng's opinion: "Should I report to the Artificial Intelligence Department first?"

Wei Dongsheng stood up and walked out of the door, motioning Ji Susu to follow up: "You have already reported."

Ji Susu didn't understand: "Huh?"

Wei Dongsheng patted Ji Susu on the shoulder: "Let's work with me for a while."

Ji Susu was surprised: "With you?"

Wei Dongsheng smiled and said: "Don't forget, besides being an entrepreneur, I am a researcher. To put it bluntly, if it is not restricted by the national system, my achievements are enough to serve as academicians of the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering. Zhixing, Zhu Weiye That's it, Chunqiu and Zhiyu have many research projects led by me."

Ji Susu pointed her right hand diagonally to her cheek: "Let me join your research group?"

Wei Dongsheng: "Not willing?"

Ji Susu quickly denied: "Yes, of course."

When Ji Susu spoke, a sweet smile filled the corners of her eyes. Ji Su has always searched in Spring and Autumn. On the one hand, because Chunqiu Search is the leader of the CAT Big Three, it was originally an excellent job candidate; on the other hand, because she is mad at Wei Dongsheng’s unilateral sentiment and hopes to be closer to Wei Dongsheng. child. How can I think that the sky really pays off, Ji Susu just came to the Spring and Autumn Period to search the artificial intelligence department, and Wei Dongsheng was picked by him. For Yu Ji Susu, this was a beautiful thing that had never been imagined before.

However, Wei Dongsheng chose Ji Susu into the project team not just because Ji Susu is his old classmate.

Wei Dongsheng's project team needs Ji Susu's talents.

Wei Dongsheng led the way while speaking: "Guess which project I want you to follow up?"

Ji Susu: "I can't guess."

Wei Dongsheng asked again: "Which project do you most want to go to?"

Ji Susu: "I just graduated and I don't understand."

Ji Susu had another answer in her heart. She wanted to tell Wei Dongsheng that which project was closest to him, she wanted to go.

However, Ji Susu couldn't say that.

In fact, the reason why Ji Susu is interested in artificial intelligence, and the reason why he chose artificial intelligence in the third and fourth grades of the university is because during a chat, Wei Dongsheng said that he values ​​and favors artificial intelligence most.

However, Ji Susu has his own pursuit and restraint. Ji Susu did not want to be trouble, nor did he want to cause trouble to Wei Dongsheng, because he was afraid that the friendship between classmates would be broken. Some words, just remember them in your heart; some people, just look at them closely, Ji Susu told herself like this.

Wei Dongsheng did not pay attention to Ji Susu's little emotions and continued to talk freely. Wei Dongsheng briefly introduced his project: "The research direction of our project is brain electromagnetic signal reading and brain electromagnetic signal analysis. Due to the low level of the device, I have to do my best to reduce the source of interference and shave all hair."

Wei Dongsheng pointed to his bald head and said helplessly, "That's how my bald head came from."

Ji Susu was stunned: "Brain electromagnetic signals belong to living things, right."

Wei Dongsheng: "Brain-electromagnetic signals belong to organisms. What about Brain-Computer_Interface (BCI) technology that connects the brain and the machine? The official name of our project is ‘brain-computer fusion’."
