Three days later, Director Niu returned to the capital.
In an inconspicuous conference room, a very high-level meeting was being held.
On the big screen in the conference room, the training tasks of three robots are being played.
From ordinary standing at attention and taking a rest to full power and full advancement, from limited obstacle crossing to three-position shooting, and finally to the final actual combat advancement confrontation, the camera faithfully recorded all the scenes.
The recorded video is not long, only about half an hour.
"This is the current preliminary result in the field of combat bipedal robots." Facing a group of generals, Director Niu also changed his past "casualness" and became much more serious.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
All the leaders present at the meeting looked at each other and picked up their teacups.
They may not understand AI or robots, but do they need to understand it?
Then one question after another was thrown out.
"Have the robot soldiers become this powerful now?"
"How many years ahead of foreign countries?"
"What's the cost? What are the weaknesses?"
Facing the leaders' questions, Director Niu smiled slightly: "It is indeed a bit strong. If the scale goes up, it will be the mechanical soldiers in science fiction."
"As for how long we will lead, we have to talk about why these mechanical soldiers are so strong - because they are handled by the centralized super AI, Aita."
"In other words, as long as there is no super AI like Aita abroad, it will never be able to catch up with us. Our advantage is the huge generation gap."
"In terms of cost, if all the sensing systems such as phased radar, laser, infrared, etc. on the body are to be completed and the weapons are modified, the purchase price can be controlled within 800,000 yuan."
Several leaders nodded.
Eight hundred thousand, compared to a dead person and a pension, is really a bargain.
"As for the weakness, it may be that it relies heavily on the network - of course there are localized systems, but they are completely unable to achieve the effect of connecting to super AI."
"What about security? What about preventing electronic intrusions?"
"You can rest assured that in the field of network security, Aita is currently invincible." Director Niu said as he clicked twice on his notebook.
"Aita."
Aita's calm voice sounded: "Hello, I'm here."
"How many network intrusions have you blocked so far?"
"So far, 1.38 million intrusions from all over the world have been intercepted and recorded, and 160,000 anti-intrusion warnings have been issued. After review, there are no recorded intrusions."
Director Niu looked at everyone: "In front of her, all intrusions are calculators challenging computers, and there is no chance of winning."
"Furthermore, according to our preliminary idea, in addition to humanoid robot warriors, Aita can also control drones and other forms of robots, such as multi-legged multi-functional robots, and use this to form a multi-in-one intelligent swarm attack plan."
As he spoke, Director Niu switched the video to a PPT.
On the PPT, a ground-air integrated offensive network is displayed.
"Because it is a centralized computing and cluster, it can perform real-time spatial computing and layout, share all information and give optimal judgments instantly."
"For example, if we want to attack a building, the system can be deployed from multiple angles, using multiple sensing methods such as terahertz radar, infrared cameras, and lasers to construct three-dimensional information about the target. After completing the calculation, combat instructions can be issued to each independent person instantly.
combat units, and once a combat unit is lost, the optimal mission plan can be dynamically adjusted. It can be said that at the tactical level..."
Director Niu took a deep breath.
In the past three days, Ye Ming limited Aita's war game system.
The unconvinced special operations commanders conducted many tactical deductions on the sand table with Aita.
And the results every time are no exception.
Aita was victorious.
In the end, the special operations officers and soldiers came to the conclusion that unless they used the terrain to play booby traps and other "underhanded tricks", there was no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.
And even if you play dirty tricks, you may not win.
Because... Aita is an AI that wants to achieve quantum supercomputing.
Once she is integrated with a quantum computer, with the support of nearly unlimited computing power, she can focus her "attention" to a single pixel level.
"Aita is an invincible existence."
Director Niu looked at everyone and said seriously: "The only thing she is afraid of is signal interference - but how many enemies can effectively implement signal interference?"
The leaders were silent.
They all knew more or less about this old cow. Although he seemed cheerful and unreliable according to rumors, he was actually extremely reliable.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be allowed to form Department Y.
Being able to say the word "invincible" from his mouth, one can imagine how much innovation and advantages it will bring when strong artificial intelligence is applied to war.
The leader slowly asked: "The last question, is it controllable?"
Upon hearing this, Director Niu was silent for two seconds and then smiled slightly.
"The designer of Aita is a scientist."
The leader was slightly startled, but he soon understood the implication of Director Niu's words: "It means he is unwilling to use it on the battlefield? Has he set up three principles for robots?"
The so-called three principles of robotics are naturally the famous three proposed by Asimov.
1. Robots cannot harm humans, or stand idly by when humans are injured.
2. Human beings must be obeyed unless it conflicts with Article 1.
3. You must protect yourself unless it conflicts with Article 12.
These three clauses, in many science fiction works, are regarded as slavery clauses by "awakened" robots. But for humans, they are prerequisites for humans and robots to coexist peacefully.
And these three items also fundamentally cut off the possibility of using robots in war-especially this kind of centrally controlled robots. As long as Aita is given core instructions not to attack humans, then all the robots she controls will be
This principle will be followed.
"He's not that pedantic. It's just that he has the highest authority to attack the human body. Currently, only he can issue orders."
When everyone heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.
Director Niu's expression did not change.
Frankly speaking, he tends to support Ye Ming - of course it does not mean that Ye Ming can only have Aita's authority, but that the authority to authorize the robot to use lethal weapons must be high enough.
Because this is no ordinary robot, this is a "strong AI robot"!
Once the killing starts, no one can guarantee what will happen...
In silence, the leader nodded slightly.
"It is true that we should be more conservative." The leader said and laughed: "We are the teachers of peace."
"However, this authority must not be controlled by him alone - but the authorization level must also be increased."
Director Niu breathed out softly: "Yes, Ye Ming said so too."
"Well, that's fine."
Glancing at the screen again, the leader smiled slightly: "Are you sure this is an advantage that your opponent cannot have?"
"Sure."
"Then you make a promotional video to shock the young people first."
