Chapter 3670: Don’t stop moving forward just because you’re afraid of risks
At this moment, a voice suddenly silenced the entire command and control hall.
"Mr. Wu, leaders, I don't think this is a good idea. We should be more cautious about weaponizing artificial intelligence.
If the 'Shenji' battlefield intelligence data information processing system is seamlessly connected with other weapon systems, it means that artificial intelligence will take over the entire weapon system. In this case, it will be able to launch attacks independently, and there may be a risk of losing control over time.
By that time, it will not only be the enemy who is hurt, but also oneself.
Everyone has seen the movie "The Terminator", in which Skynet developed step by step and eventually became the executioner who destroyed mankind." A researcher wearing a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses said at this time
.
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire command and control hall became quiet. Everyone frowned and thought, and many people had similar worries on their expressions.
And more people looked at Wu Hao, waiting for his response.
Wu Hao was startled for a moment, then took a deep breath and glanced at everyone present, especially the researcher who raised concerns. There was both understanding and determination in his eyes. He spoke slowly, with a steady and powerful voice, trying to
Calm everyone's worries.
"First of all, I am very grateful to this comrade for the reminder!"
Wu Hao glanced at the researcher, then smiled at everyone and said: "His worries are not groundless, but are based on deep thinking about the future development of science and technology.
Indeed, the combination of artificial intelligence and weapon systems is an area full of challenges and risks, and we need to treat it with extreme caution."
He paused and his eyes fell on the military leader Chi Zhengyang. Chi Zhengyang was sitting upright with a solemn expression on his face, and he was obviously listening attentively.
Wu Hao continued: "However, we cannot stop moving forward because we are afraid of risks. As the leader said, times are changing and the form of war is also changing.
If we do not keep up with this pace, we will be eliminated by the times and our national security will face greater threats."
"From a technical point of view," Wu Hao turned to Zhao Zhicheng and the technicians present, and said: "From the beginning of the design of the 'Shenji' system, we have fully considered safety and controllability.
Our system has built-in multiple security mechanisms, including permission classification, operation logging, abnormal behavior monitoring, etc., to ensure that every step of the operation is conducted under human supervision.
In addition, we also have an emergency braking system that can immediately interrupt all automated processes and switch to manual control once the system detects any abnormalities or potential threats."
He looked around and saw that the expressions of the people present gradually relaxed, but there were still lingering doubts. So he further explained: "As for the autonomous learning and decision-making capabilities of artificial intelligence, we have adopted the 'learning under human guidance' model.
This means that the ‘Shenji’ system is always constrained by the rules and goals set by humans during its learning and decision-making process. It will not change these rules without authorization, let alone launch attacks independently.
All decisions are based on strategic goals set by humans and the analysis results of real-time battlefield data."
Having said this, Wu Hao looked specifically at the researcher who raised concerns and smiled slightly to show respect: "Of course, we cannot ignore any potential risks.
Therefore, we are constantly strengthening the security testing and verification of the system, including simulating system behavior under extreme conditions, to ensure that the system can remain stable and safe even under extreme conditions.
Of course, we also need to actively cooperate with the international community to jointly explore the ethical and legal boundaries of artificial intelligence weaponization and ensure that our technological development complies with international norms and the common interests of mankind.
Although this method of cooperation may have little effect in the field of military security, from the perspective of safeguarding the overall situation and safeguarding the interests of major countries and all mankind, cooperation is still necessary. Therefore, I believe that various countries, especially major countries, are very interested in this aspect.
Cooperation would be of interest.”
Zhao Zhicheng nodded at this time and agreed: "Xiao Wu's answer is very comprehensive and pragmatic.
I believe that on the premise of ensuring security, promoting the integration of artificial intelligence and weapon systems is an important way for us to improve our military strength and ensure national security.
We cannot give up the courage to explore the unknown just because we are afraid of unknown risks."
Chi Zhengyang also expressed his opinion: "I agree with Director Zhao's opinion. As soldiers, our duty is to defend the country and protect the people. In this process, we must keep up with the pace of technological development and continuously improve our combat effectiveness.
At the same time, we must always be alert to the risks that may be brought about by technological development and minimize these risks through system construction, laws and regulations, and other means."
Wang Lianggong added: “In addition, I think we should also strengthen the training and education of technical personnel, improve their professional quality and moral level, and ensure that they can always maintain awe and respect for life when developing and using artificial intelligence technology.
Respect for the law.”
As the discussion progressed, the atmosphere in the command and control hall gradually became warm and positive. Everyone put forward their own opinions and suggestions on how to further improve the safety of the "Shenji" system and how to strengthen cooperation with the international community.
.
When Wu Hao saw this, he was secretly pleased. He knew that today's discussion was not only a grand gathering of technical exchanges, but also a spark of collision of ideas. This discussion not only made the future development path of the "Shenji" system clearer, but also made the future development path of the "Shenji" system clearer.
Everyone present has a deep understanding of their responsibilities and missions.
He stood up, looked around the audience, and said in a firm and powerful voice: "Today's discussion was very successful. We not only saw the infinite possibilities for the future development of the 'Shenji' system, but also deeply understood the risks and challenges that come with it.
I believe that with the joint efforts of everyone, we will be able to overcome these difficulties, promote the continuous development of the 'Shenji' system, and contribute greater strength to our country's national defense cause."
His speech won warm applause from everyone present. Everyone stood up, shook hands with each other, and celebrated this important moment together.
At this time, the researcher who raised the concern also showed a happy smile.
He did not expect that Wu Hao would answer this question in such a comprehensive and in-depth manner, which gave him a clearer understanding of the safety and controllability of the 'Shenji' system. He stood up and expressed his gratitude and respect to Wu Hao: "
Mr. Wu, I am very touched by your answer.
You have not only demonstrated a deep understanding of technology, but also demonstrated a high sense of responsibility for the country and the military. I believe that with your efforts, the ‘Shenji’ system will definitely become the pride of our military.”
