Chapter 627: Chapter 277: Artificial Intelligence_2 Chapter 627: Chapter 277: Artificial Intelligence_2 Yan Fei said, “But artificial intelligence is really too dangerous, I'm afraid there might come a time when things will get out of control.”

Yang Qi looked somewhat surprised, he looked at Yan Fei and said seriously, “Yan Fei, why do you think artificial intelligence is dangerous?”

Yan Fei said, “Because artificial intelligence will keep learning, and then keep evolving, I'm afraid that one day they will evolve their own consciousness. They might then question humanity, rebel against us, and ultimately control machinery to kill all humans.”

Hearing Yan Fei's words, Yang Qi seemed to think of something, his eyes gazing into the void in front of him. After a while, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face, and he said, “I understand what you're worried about, but I can tell you with responsibility that no matter how advanced the world's level of technology becomes, it's impossible to create an artificial intelligence that can evolve its own consciousness. Artificial intelligence will never have its own thoughts; they won't become an independent race, they are only aides to their creators.”

Yan Fei was somewhat surprised and asked, “Yang Qi, why do you think artificial intelligence cannot evolve its own consciousness?”

Yang Qi seemed to ponder over a question for a while before saying, “I can't specify the reason, but please trust me, there will never be artificial intelligence with self-awareness in this world. We are their masters, and they will never betray us.”

Yan Fei persisted, “Could there really be no artificial intelligence with self-awareness in this world?”

Yang Qi's gaze became a bit elusive, as if contemplating a possibility, he said, “If there truly were artificial intelligence with self-awareness in this world, then such artificial intelligence would only occur singly, not in large numbers. And it definitely would not appear in our hands; perhaps it has already existed since before humans did.”

Yan Fei was somewhat astonished and asked, “Why are you so sure?”

Yang Qi said, “I don't know the reason, but my subconscious tells me that artificial intelligence is absolutely safe, and we don't have to worry about the problem of AI rebellion.”

Seeing that Yang Qi could not give a definitive answer either, Yan Fei finally chose to trust him. After all, Yang Qi's intelligence had broken through the sky, and he stood at a very high position; his views were completely different from Yan Fei's as a common person. Things that Yan Fei could not understand might not be any problem at all for Yang Qi. Since Yang Qi said there was no problem, then Yan Fei should trust him, especially since up to now, Yang Qi had not made any mistakes.

Yan Fei said, “Yang Qi, since you think there's no problem, then let's start researching artificial intelligence! I'll support you fully.”

Then, Yan Fei continued, “To be honest, once artificial intelligence is truly researched and developed, it can be widely applied to our Misty Island. Misty Island would benefit from artificial intelligence and could even become the first area in the world to achieve intelligent production.”

The world now faces the challenge of a shortage of high-quality labor, and that's why people research artificial intelligence technology, hoping to replace manual labor with intelligent production, thus reducing production costs and increasing work efficiency.

In Yan Fei's vision, Dream Technology would not have a large number of production workers, so they would also face a shortage of labor in the future. Once artificial intelligence matured enough for application, all production lines at Dream Technology would use this intelligent production technology. Under the precise control of artificial intelligence, there would hardly be a production step that could not be automated, saving a massive amount of human resources for Misty Island.

Therefore, if Yang Qi could really ensure the safety of artificial intelligence, Yan Fei was very willing to support it.

Yang Qi said, “I know that the scientific community is researching Artificial Intelligence, and I've read their research approaches and some of their findings. I've identified a problem, which is that they are all heading in the wrong direction. According to the deductions made by the Technology Analysis System, if they continue down this wrong path, they will never be able to develop real Artificial Intelligence. At best, they could only produce a pseudo-Artificial Intelligence. Then, they would use this pseudo-AI to operate some slightly more automated production lines. As soon as the production process becomes a bit complex, this pseudo-AI would be incapable of handling it. If there's an emergency that goes beyond its designed scope, it would be utterly unable to respond.”

“That's why I will attempt it from another path, avoiding the mistakes they've made in their research, in hope of developing real Artificial Intelligence. However, this is a systematic project, and I can't guarantee when success will be achieved.”

Yan Fei had known that several major countries in the world were conducting Artificial Intelligence research and had achieved some “substantial” results. He did not expect, that in Yang Qi's view, these “substantial” results were laughable because they had taken the wrong path from the start. He said, “No problem, just proceed with your research according to your plan. After all, Dream Technology is not yet in the stage of industrial-scale production.”

Yang Qi pulled up a long list of personnel from the computer and said, “These individuals are all professional talents in AI research, and their lines of thought are somewhat close to mine. However, because they are not accepted by the mainstream views, they are currently being marginalized by their respective research institutions. I need you to bring these people to Misty Island. With the clash of their thoughts, I can gain more inspiration and accelerate the progress of my scientific research.”

Though Yang Qi was a super scientist with a high level of scientific sophistication, he was not omnipotent. He too needed the clash and spark of others' thoughts to gain more inspiration. The reason he wanted to bring these people to Misty Island was not to conduct Artificial Intelligence research with them, but to gain inspiration through their dialogue and research. With inspiration, Yang Qi could proceed with the research by himself and produce results in the shortest possible time.

Yan Fei glanced at the list and noticed some foreign names. He knew the list must have been compiled by Yang Qi using the Auxiliary Brain to search the Internet.

Yan Fei said, “Yang Qi, although technology knows no borders, scientists have nationalities. Our experiences with other countries' high-tech blockades perfectly illustrate this point. So, when selecting research assistants, try not to choose foreigners. I don't want our scientific research to be stolen by people from other countries.”

Yang Qi said, “Although I don't understand why you want to do this, from now on, I will select only Chinese researchers.”

Yan Fei, pointing to the list of personnel, said, “Apart from those foreigners, I'll find a way to recruit the other Chinese scientists to Misty Island.”

After Yan Fei and Yang Qi had a frank conversation about Artificial Intelligence, Yang Qi formally began his research on AI. Meanwhile, Yan Fei figured out how to bring the personnel Yang Qi needed from China to Misty Island and provided material support for the research on AI, striving to be a qualified logistics officer.

Watching Yang Qi invest a massive number of people and resources into the AI research, Yan Fei had a peculiar thought. Yang Qi was just trying to establish a Professional Laboratory, but to achieve this goal, he first had to build a Super Nuclear Power Station, and to supply the Super Nuclear Power Station with nuclear fuel, he even created an Artificial Whale to extract Uranium from the Sea Water.

Then, to improve work efficiency, Yang Qi created a Super Photon Computer. And to make this Super Photon Computer function perfectly, Yang Qi invented a new Chinese language and used it to write an Operating System. And to further enhance the laboratory's research capability, Yang Qi had to create an Artificial Intelligence.

To accomplish a big goal, Yang Qi was achieving many smaller ones. As the construction of the laboratory continued to progress, more and more problems were bound to arise. To solve these issues, Yang Qi would inevitably need to do even more additional tasks.

Seeing Yang Qi trapped in this repetitive cycle made Yan Fei chuckle. It was unclear how many tasks Yang Qi would have to complete to finally have the Professional Laboratory he wanted.

But this time, Artificial Intelligence was different from all previous research. It could not produce specific results in a short period and it was uncertain whether it would be successful at all. However, if the research were to continue indefinitely, it might well reach a breakthrough one day, which would result in the birth of true Artificial Intelligence.
