Military Technology

In fact, in addition to these control methods, we also have another control method, which is the intelligent voice assistance system. Different from ordinary intelligent voice assistance systems, the intelligent voice assistance system we installed on this heavy mecha is more intelligent, or it is an artificial intelligence program.

At this introduction, Wu Hao said: "Start the intelligent voice assistance system."

"The intelligent voice assistance system has been activated. Hello driver, Xuanwu One is at your service." Soon a virtual female character appeared on the screen and she said.

Wu Hao smiled at the two and introduced: "The tone says it is an intelligent voice system, but it is better to say that it is actually an artificial intelligence assistant. It can also be regarded as the main body of the mecha, or the second pilot or co-pilot. , its function is actually very simple, that is, to provide various services to drivers, including some data broadcast reminders, as well as some related suggestions, etc.

In addition, it can also control and control the entire mecha according to the instructions given by the driver.

It can even temporarily take over control of the mecha after the driver loses consciousness, or with the driver's authorization, thereby controlling the mecha to perform some preset tasks or emergency tasks. "

"Since this kind of artificial intelligence can already control mechas, why do we need to set up a driver and let people control it? Isn't artificial intelligence control better, and didn't you say that unmanned intelligence is not the future trend?"

Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "Artificial intelligence can indeed help you accomplish very few things, and it is true that the mecha cannot be degenerated and controlled by humans through the artificial intelligence system.

But that will face a problem, and it is not a matter of choice. In fact, artificial intelligence wants to perform some tasks perfectly, but letting it make decisions may cause some problems. "

what is the problem? After hearing what Wu Hao said, Luo Kai also became interested and asked.

At that time, you need to attack weakly to eliminate the gangsters and rescue the hostages. The artificial intelligence may choose to blow up the mission directly due to subsequent cases, eliminating the gangsters and hostages together.

For you, danger and reliability are the first priority for any weapons and equipment. "

That also means that the artificial intelligence system must violate those rules and systems, and all actions must be within those rules and systems.

The relevant decisions it performs are the worst options calculated through algorithms, and that choice is based on the merits of the algorithm and the data in the model library.

Therefore, the relevant criteria for judging things that you have developed for artificial intelligence are based on your values ​​​​and relevant social rules, legal systems, etc.

For example, when you are performing some tasks, such as a fire in a military warehouse, the best option is to evacuate the surrounding people immediately to avoid harm to personnel.

But if the artificial intelligence is replaced, it can do that. It will refuse to directly blow up the house to eliminate the opponent because there are no civilians in the house, and will choose to use weak attack to destroy the enemy and rescue the civilians.

Because although it is tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands times stupider than you humans, it still has the same emotions as you humans, and it even knows what courage is, what responsibility is, and what faith is.

And once that code of conduct is relaxed, the mecha controlled by artificial intelligence will become extremely safe, because it will no longer care about civilians.

Looking at the thoughtful expressions of the seven people, Wu Hao continued: "The most complicated and direct way is not to push directly, or to use heavy firepower weapons to directly kill the opponent.

That is the most complicated method and the most expensive method. You must use a weak attack to rescue the hostages, but the gains are not worth the losses. Even the house attack will cause heavy casualties on your side.

Luo Kai and Pang Zhengqing nodded, thinking there was nothing wrong with what Wu Hao said.

Human creativity is endless. Often at some critical moments, artificial intelligence will only choose the optimal solution step by step, but you humans will choose to take risks to create positivity.

Of course, that example may be too appropriate, but in terms of choices and trade-offs, artificial intelligence will always be inferior to humans.

You humans cannot become weaker with us, but artificial intelligence can. "That example is not controversial, but in actual combat there is no controversy. Anyone would do that.

Speaking of that, Wu Hao paused for a while, and then said to the seven people: "You can't give a very surprising example. During the war, you encountered a group of enemies. That group of enemies were guarding a house. In the house, apart from the group of enemies who resisted tenaciously, there were no eight members of the owner of the house.

For robots, the best choice is not the best choice, but for you humans, the best choice is often the best choice.

Seeing that the seven people agreed with what I said, Wu Hao continued: "But you humans are the simplest and most deviant group of animals. Is there anyone who will tolerate violating those rules and systems, or even the law? Rules and laws It is one thing, but actually implementing it is another matter. There are very few problems involved.

This is still the same example, please change it. In a large-scale battle, a group of gangsters escaped into the house and took a family of eight hostage, and then resisted tenaciously.

That sounds reasonable, right? "

At that point, Wu Hao did not stop, but continued: "In addition to these, in terms of creativity, artificial intelligence has always surpassed and replaced humans.

Wu Hao smiled and said: "Although you have been developing artificial intelligence technology, you are also very afraid that the development of artificial intelligence technology is beyond human control, so you will formulate some rules and some red lines for it, such as the famous The Eight Laws of Robotics were later changed to the Seven Laws of Robotics.

War is in peacetime, it does not have a set of rules of war. But that set of war regulations is so compliant, at most it can be shown in the open.

And that house happens to be under the main route of your retreat. You have to go around it. What should you do at that time? "

Artificial intelligence may choose that way, but you humans will, and you will do everything you can to put out the fire to minimize the loss.

Yes, you can't revise its code of conduct so that it can't become like a human being, but the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and you can't guarantee that there will be no similar cases, but the artificial intelligence will still make the same decision.

It is true that artificial intelligence cannot perform some complex tasks, but when it comes to difficult tasks, it can do it. It does not tolerate compliance with those regulations and laws and is adapted to those tasks, especially military tasks in war. "
