Chapter 219 Artificial Intelligence
"Are you interested in artificial intelligence again?" Gu Ningshan asked looking at Wu Bin's curious expression.

"I'm interested in all interesting things, especially artificial intelligence, which will definitely lead the times in the future. Of course, I'm more interested."

After swallowing the mouthful of mashed potatoes, Gu Ningshan stirred the remaining potatoes and said, "First of all, the perception department needs to think about one thing. How should AI understand the world around it?"

"Secondly, the decision-making department will consider how AI can search and choose among many possible conditions based on the current problem to be solved, and find a solution that is most suitable for solving the problem."

Speaking of which, Gu Ningshan ate another mouthful of mashed potatoes and chewed, "In the end, the action department will be responsible for the implementation, so that AI can connect with the world. Their current goal is to let AI take charge of the factory's control system."

"Huh? Shouldn't it be communicating with humans?" Wu Bin asked.

"That's a farther goal. In short, designing AI is to regard these three points as a big cycle. After you perceive the current world, you make a decision and act, and then after making a decision and action, you then observe What happened, such a layer-by-layer cycle is the top-level architecture of AI."

"For example, if you hand a bottle of Coke to an artificial intelligence and make a look at him, it can understand that the bottle of Coke is for it without needing to say any instructions."

"When it can do this, it will be a real artificial intelligence, not like now, artificial intelligence just collects a lot of data and then analyzes the results and acts according to the optimal result."

"Are you complaining about Alpha Dog?" Wu Bin asked after eating the last bite of the hamburger.

Gu Ningshan waved her hand: "It's not a complaint, but I always feel that this is not artificial intelligence."

Wu Bin smiled: "Actually, when I first learned the programming language, I found that computers are very 'stupid', and the current artificial intelligence is indeed just a stupid computer that collects more information. They cannot do any independent thinking. Of course, When they can do this, it is estimated that the 'Skynet' panic will break out."

Pushing the dinner plate aside, Wu Bin drank the Coke and continued, "Also, let me ask you a question, do you know why artificial intelligence is used to play chess?"

"Of course~ What do you think I have learned in the past two months?" Gu Ningshan spread her hands and replied: "Just like the decision-making steps I just said, playing chess is to let the decision-making system predict each different result, and then Choose the best one. Within absolute rules, a program with a powerful algorithm can be said to be invincible, and playing Go can strongly prove that artificial intelligence has made a great breakthrough in choosing the optimal route. "

"And that kind of decision-making can also be applied to the assembly line in the factory and to figure out all the details of the space shuttle launch and so on."

Wu Bin nodded after listening, "It's a pity that this idea has been around for decades, and it still hasn't come true."

"If this problem is so simple, why do scientists need it?" Gu Ningshan finally finished her last mouthful of mashed potatoes and put the small box aside, "But my teacher is still very confident in the development of AI. Explore new maps and figure out, step by step, which tasks can be automated."

"Then I have a curious question. In what ways does your teacher think the progress of AI will affect life in the short term?"

"In the short term?" Gu Ningshan thought for a while, "It's probably about emotion recognition. Isn't it because the resolution of the camera is high enough that face recognition appears now? Then if we go further through the details of the face and track the details of the entire face , you can track and discover the movement rules of facial muscles, so as to understand what expression you are making and what it means.”

"Cowhide." Wu Bin nodded, "It seems that I have to spare a little more time to read papers on artificial intelligence."

After taking a sip of the drink, Gu Ningshan rested her chin and said, "Actually, I have been there for two months, and I have not only gained knowledge in scientific research, but in fact, being in a new environment, many of my senses have also changed. "

"Whether it's in class or chatting with others, I can always hear a Huaguo from other people's mouths that is completely different from my understanding."

Wu Bin: "Huh? Does Laomei think that we are the kind who ride pandas out to eat mapo tofu all day long, and take out nunchucks to do kung fu from time to time?"

"Pfft..." Gu Ningshan laughed, "You're biased, okay? In fact, whether it's foreign media or students, they are quite sure about our scientific research capabilities, especially mathematics. As long as you have a Asian face, that's what you say is right."

"Hahaha." Wu Bin laughed twice, "After all, we have dominated the IMO for so long, hey, are you used to the food there?"

"It's okay, but when it comes to food, I found a very good Chinese restaurant over there, and I'm going to complain. I've heard that Chinese food is very popular in the United States before, but those Chinese food are completely different from what I imagined. It’s different. For example, the best-selling tangerine peel chicken... I didn’t eat it at all! And the other dishes have also been changed into sweet and sour ones.”

"Sweet and sour? Isn't that good."

For Wu Bin, who loves sweet and sour short ribs, the sweet and sour taste has always been his favorite.

Gu Ningshan shook her head: "I said it was a magic reform, anyway, I think it's really unpalatable, next time you have a chance to try it, you'll know."

"Excuse me, let's continue to talk about my very good Chinese restaurant, which is called look and eat."

"Wow... so down-to-earth?"

"Yes, the decoration is also very down-to-earth. It's not the kind of classic Chinese restaurant decoration decorated with mahogany and hung with lanterns, but the kind of street food style. I really like the Kung Pao chicken made by this restaurant."

"Is it from Huaguo?" Wu Bin asked.

"Well, the boss and the proprietress are both from Haojiang. They have been in the United States for more than ten years. They are very kind. In fact, they don't speak Mandarin very well, but they still try their best to chat with me in Mandarin, asking me where I am from and why. When I came to the United States, I knew that I was here for exchange and study, and praised me for a long time, and then asked me what I was studying, what I planned to do in the future, etc. "

"They also have a daughter named Nancy, but they usually call her Candy, she is super cute! The little one is extremely curious, but also a little shy, so she asks a lot of questions in her father's ear, and then Let them relay it to me."

Wu Bin nodded after listening, "Well, you are not afraid of life at all."

"Of course, I'm not a child leaving." Gu Ningshan raised her head proudly.
