24. The Conference Ⅱ

24. The Conference Ⅱ

Suddenly, there were some commotion in the distance. Lam and Dragon Cai looked at it with each other. It turned out that there were a few people at the door, and Grand Wei was also among them.

Because several people just gave a keynote speech at the closed doors in the morning, their arrival caused many people's interest. The closed door meeting, as the name implied, was a meeting that was not open to the outside world.

There were only a small number of people participating in the participants to conduct internal discussions. The information announced in the end was only a few news information.

Therefore, looking at them, many young scholars and large companies wanted to understand the details of the morning lectures.

Seeing this, Dragon Cai put one hand on top of his head and put one hand on his knees, showing the gap between them and Wei, "Indeed, the gap between people and people is greater than the gap between people and the paramecium."

After Dragon Cai finished speaking, he saw Wei whispered a few words with the people next to him, and then walked through the bustling crowd and walked towards this side.

"Hey, hey, Lam, you look at it!Someone over there, it is Wei. I just read his dissertation last month! Lam, he came towards me. My name is known in the academic community! ",Cai said with a surprise.

Grand Wei approached, bypassing Cai, opened his hands and hugged Lam fiercely, and then let go of his hand and looked at Lam, saying with a smile: "Lam, the domestic food is good. You became fat!"

Cai was a little wrong. It turned out that Wei didn't come towards himself, but he was thick-skinned and said to Wei: "Brother, I have read your dissertation last month. It's really shocked! "

Wei looked at Lam with doubts in his eyes, seeming to say who this guy was.

Lam hurriedly whispered in Wei's ear and said that he just met this guy and this guy was an interesting Northeast brother, doing weapon research.

Wei nodded at Cai with a smile, and then pulled Lam to talk elsewhere. Lam said goodbye to Dragon Cai and left with Wei.

Behind him, Dragon Cai quickly followed: "Brother Wei, brother Lam, where are you going? Please bring me!" Seeing that Cai insisted on following, Wei and Lam looked at each other and agreed. Wei also called his cooperative partner Pelney by the way.

When they arrived at the bar, Dragon Cai and Pelney had already hooked up shoulder to shoulder. Cai ordered some wine to drink with Pelney. When Cai heard that Pelney used humans for brain experiments, Cai suggested that they could use monkeys first next time, because using humans was a bit too cruel. However when he heard that the locals were used, Cai asked Pelney to use more next time.

Speaking of this, Pelney said with a drunken face, a little seriously: "We also want to use monkeys, but using monkeys really can't achieve the effect. If possible, I would like to be the subject of the experiment by myself so as to uncover the truth. The mysteries of science are the most exciting things. The progress of science requires sacrifice, even if it is myself.”

Hearing this, Lam shook his head, glanced at Grand Wei, and secretly thought that this was another scientific lunatic.

Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.

"That's right, Brother Pelney. I want to sacrifice myself too. Come on! let us respect science and sacrifice." Cai didn't feel drunk at all, and the more he drank, the more excited he was, continuing to pull Pelney to boast.

Regardless of them, Lam turned around and chatted with Grand Wei about the progress of the Gats Center's artificial intelligence system, wondering how Grand Wei and the others managed to reduce the size of the system proportionally while maintaining the existing computing power.

Grand Wei confessed that the current chip technology was not developing so fast. According to that ratio, the number of transistors on the chip would increase exponentially.

Therefore, they had the same idea as Lam and his artificial intelligence laboratory, but the difference was that they had built a computing center, which could share the information processing burden of the artificial intelligence system at the end, and the overall difference was not bad.

Lam breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Wei and the others were really ahead by that much, but Wei and his team's method was indeed worth a try. Then Lam chatted with Wei about the current intelligence of the artificial intelligence system.

"I have done many Turing tests, and the best one is the situation I told you last time. Once the understanding of social rules is involved, the system will fail immediately, and it will only be an artificial mental retardation." Lam tell Wei about his current experimental situation in detail.

"Lam, can a robot really possess human consciousness? Can human consciousness really be stored on a machine? What the two of us do looks similar, but there is a big difference. However in essence we have to answer a question, What is consciousness? After understanding what consciousness is, we can explain how consciousness comes from." Wei put his arms around his chest and said carefully.

"In the final analysis, consciousness is the sum of natural reactions to the external environment, but how to achieve this kind of consciousness, according to our current level of brain science and technology, can only be said that consciousness comes from the 'beating' of neurons." Lam touched the smooth chin, thinking.

"This explanation seems very reasonable, but I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't tell what's wrong." Grand Wei frowned, as if recalling something.

"Brother,please don't worry about it! If you can make those things, you will not be humans, but gods!" Cai heard the conversation between the two of them, so he couldn't help interjecting, and then pulled Lam and Wri to drink while Pelney on the side had already collapsed on the table unconsciously.

Lam and Wei laughed loudly when they saw this, but they were a little worried when they thought that they would have to be sent back later.

Wei knew where Pelney lived, but they didn't know where Dragon Cai lived so Lam could only let him stay in his room for one night, and hope that the receptionist of the hotel would not misunderstand his sexual orientation.

Lam also asked Wei about the situation of the closed-door meeting in the morning, and learned that everyone's current technical level was not far behind, so Lam could still catch up.

As for the intelligence level of the artificial intelligence system, Wei thought for a while and told Lam that the current intelligence level was the same. Just like what Lam felt before, it really seemed that there was a barrier that could not be broken through. It must be a technical bottleneck. Wei comforted Lam to take his time.

However, another thing that Wei mentioned attracted Lam's attention. Now the industry was manufacturing a large number of robots, and the scale was not small, especially the human-shaped robots that used humans as templates.

Lam also talked about the cooperation with Elaine Chen. Most of the robots produced by Chen and the others were mainly human models. According to Lam’s knowledge, the current number in Hua country was not too much, but on Europa, the number of robots was increasing day by day. The companies on Europa had no intention of stopping at all, they just wanted to replace humans with robots.

Lam and Wei didn't think too much about it, thinking that it was the need of the industry to come to this point. After the conversation was almost over, Wei and Lam went back to the hotel.

Sure enough, when Lam took Cai back, the hotel receptionist watched Lam carry a drunk man back, smiled at Lam ambiguously, and wished Lam a good night.

Lin glanced at Dragon Cai beside him, and sighed. He really wanted to leave him on the street...
