If you cheat, money will follow

Mid June.

Liu Chaoyang received a meeting notice from his superiors and invited him and Li Fei to go to the capital for a meeting.

The content of the meeting was not mentioned in the notice.

When Liu Chaoyang and Li Fei arrived in the capital and entered the conference room of the relevant ministries, they learned that the theme of the meeting was:

Study and discuss an outline of artificial intelligence safety regulations.

The level of the meeting was very high.

Hosting is a deputy position of supervisory staff.

Participants were mainly major Internet technology companies involved in the field of artificial intelligence, as well as related R&D institutions.

For example, first-line zoo enterprises such as goose factory, cat factory, chrysanthemum factory, pig factory, dog factory, bear factory, etc...;

There are also second-tier technology companies such as iFlytek, Yuncong, Tucson, SPEED, Cambrian, SenseTime, and Megvii.

The meeting begins.

At the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Academician Zhang reported to the participants the progress of domestic artificial intelligence research and development.

It is emphasized that the large language model represented by WechatGPT has led the world.

And may have developed vague consciousness.

After the briefing ended, there was a lot of discussion in the meeting place.

Many heads of enterprise language model development unconsciously looked at Liu Chaoyang and Li Fei.

He has warm eyes, a friendly attitude and a warm smile.

then.

Relevant departments notified the "Outline of Artificial Intelligence Safety Specifications".

The draft has not been finalized yet. We will solicit opinions from relevant company personnel present and revise the details until they are perfect.

However, some things have been made clear.

For example, safety.

Model development companies must adhere to the principle of "safety first" and intervene and deploy AI monitoring systems during the design stage.

Resolutely guard against data tampering and beware of impacting social order;

Resolutely avoid a series of possible problems such as data abuse, widespread fraud, and loss of ethical control.

Relevant departments will organize professional and technical personnel to conduct technical reviews of software suppliers.

Some content still needs to be discussed and studied to improve the details.

For example, how to use AI, how to collect data, etc.

After discussion.

On behalf of the AI ​​project team of Pingtouge Research Institute, Li Fei introduced the "super alignment" architectural ideas, promotion and supervision experience to everyone present.

At last.

Leader speaking.

After the speech, all participating companies signed a self-restraint opinion.

In addition, there is a limited time to submit modification opinions to the "Artificial Intelligence Specification Outline".

After the meeting, the participants surrounded Liu Chaoyang and Li Fei.

They both wanted to share their experience in language model training and iteration with the two of them.

There have long been rumors on the market that researcher Pingtou Ge’s model iteration is progressing very quickly.

These people thought it was just a rumor. After all, they were all related people in the industry and were familiar with how to walk this road.

However, there is now official recognition and endorsement, indicating that Pingtouge Research Institute’s AI research has indeed led the world.

Moreover, it must be the kind that leads by a large margin.

They wanted to gain valuable experience through exchanges with Liu Chaoyang and Li Fei through a few words.

Li Fei faced many people asking questions and asking for advice, and gave a very broad answer:

"I really don't have much experience."

"Everyone knows that the algorithm is public and mainly relies on aligning computing power and capturing data..."

“Large computing power, fast operation and high efficiency;”

"Big data, fast learning, high parameters;"

"That's all."

Li Fei's words were not very convincing.

Many companies here are not short of money, and they are also waving checks to pile up computing power.

However, the training of language models is still not progressing quickly.

The next best thing is to ask:

"Mr. Li, what kind of chips does your company use?"

This is the same logic as a poor student asking a good student what pen to use.

Li Fei replied truthfully: "Kirin chip from Juchang and Shengteng 910AI chip..."

"The former runs code and floating point calculations, the latter processes data."

"The operation efficiency is very high, and the goose factory is also using it."

The person in charge of the goose factory nodded: "It is indeed very efficient, faster than NVIDIA's."

Well, a big advertisement has hit the AI ​​circle.

The person in charge of the chrysanthemum factory laughed heartily.

next month.

Companies looking to purchase AI chips in bulk from Juchang are like crucian carp crossing the river.

Juchang’s AI chips have gone from being indifferent to being popular.

Order volume surged 100 times.

Well, when you are at the absolute leading edge in technology, your fart can be considered a breeze, and your pull can also be considered a Shaqima.

It's June.

Domestic regulators officially released the "Artificial Intelligence Standards Outline".

Issue initiatives and enforce requirements for the AI ​​industry.

Domestic AI development companies must follow the principle of “safety first”;

Implement data security, behavioral security, system security, social security, and human security into the entire development process.

Relevant law enforcement agencies must severely crack down on dereliction of duty, loss of position, violations of laws and regulations.

After this "Outline" was released on the Internet, it was not taken seriously by netizens.

Because, globally, there are currently no AI products developed for the public.

There is no first-line perception of whether AI is dangerous or not;

How far the AI ​​industry will develop is largely based on what others say;

The feeling of strangeness is strong and the experience is not real enough.

Just like wearing a cotton-padded jacket to take a shower is uncomfortable, wearing a balloon... is uncomfortable.

In the eyes of netizens, this "Outline" is dispensable.

However, the "Outline" and relevant content of the conference were transmitted to North America...

North American officials sensed something unusual.

Combined with the fact that all three teachers and students from Hinton joined the Pingtou Brother Research Institute some time ago, as well as the rumors circulating, and then compared with this highly targeted "Outline"... So...

White House, meeting again.

The theme this time is not sanctions or new energy.

But AI.

As many as 34 companies participated in the conference.

Including Google, openAI, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, Intel, Nvidia, Oracle and other technology companies;

It also includes large companies in other industries.

Such as Ford, Land O'Lakes, Mastercard, Pfizer, United Airlines, etc.

Land O'Lakes is a produce company that sells feed and milk;

Mastercard is a bank card clearing house;

Ford needs no introduction;

Pfizer is famous for selling the little blue pill;

United is an airline.

You can find out through participating companies.

This meeting organized by the White House discussed how to develop AI.

And how AI promotes the development of agriculture, industry, finance, medical care, transportation and other industries.

The theme is grand.

The meeting begins.

First, the intelligence department informed the participants of the progress of the development of large language models on the other side of the ocean.

The intelligence official said with almost certainty:

“They lead the world in the field of artificial intelligence, especially large language models.”

"Their model may well have produced consciousness."

"Three teachers and students from Hinton left because of the model awareness, and they formed a super alignment department specifically."

"To prevent large language models from getting out of control."

These words shocked the people present at the meeting, and the expressions of those who heard them changed.

Internet rumors can be just rumors;

No one will question the intelligence department's briefing.

It's rare to understand the king without a hint of humor or disdain.

It was replaced by solemnity and solemnity.

During this period, he has been promoting the decision-making plan to sanction Kirin Battery.

However, the resistance is great.
