Chapter 101: Origin
Not until the sun rose and the morning rays spilled over the earth did Xiang Kun finally stop editing the PRD. Looking at the plan that had entirely deviated from his initial idea, he couldn’t help but rub his brows, as if his old problem had recurred…
The Al assistant he envisioned, considering the numerous functional modules and level of complexity, had turned out to be a large-scale project. Some functions were even not yet mature with no available technology for reference. It would pose a challenge even to giant corporations like Baidu, Google, and Microsoft, let alone to him alone.
If he had been presented with such a requirement document at work a month ago, he would have probably bounced it back to the product manager, suggesting that he rewrite it when sober.
But this document was his own creation, and the requirements were all his…
That’s why he was somewhat persistent, wanting to give it a try, to see to what extent he could achieve.
However, when he returned to what he was really good at, he felt more directly the changes in his brain’s way of thinking and computing speed, thereby making him more excited.
The current are already quite intelligent. For instance, if you asked, “What’s the weather like tomorrow?”
The Al first converts your voice into text through speech recognition technology, then analyzes your intention, extracting keywords to “fill the slots”.
There are two “slots” in this sentence, one is the time “tomorrow”, and the other is the event “weather”.
So it executes the command, calls up the weather forecast program, looks for tomorrow’s weather, and provides the result.
Some Al would even continue the conversation by asking, “Are you going out tomorrow?”
If a new keyword is received, a new round of slot filling begins, assisting the user in handling various tasks.
Ultimately, the Al relies on keywords to trigger preset feedback. While the rate of correctly identifying the actual intention is getting higher and higher, it all seems more and more “alive” as the feedback is becoming increasingly comprehensive and human-like.
However, the present Al is still far from achieving self-conscious artificial intelligence.
Xiang Kun did not have the unrealistic expectation of creating a self-conscious artificial intelligence all by himself. He just wanted to make use of
“reinforcement learning” combined with “deep learning” methods so that the
Al assistant could continuously help him improve the “Vampire Mutation Model”. Based on the output results of the model, the Al would purposely conduct searches on the internet for medical, biological, and physical studies and even news, selecting potentially useful information for him to review. Subsequently, it would improve future search rules and decision-making according to his actual choices.
In terms of lifestyle and training, the Al assistant would also provide suggestions based on the ‘Vampire Mutation Model” and spontaneously point out some problems he might overlook. It would propose new directions to try, assist him in conducting experiments, and record parameters.
Moreover, he hoped that the Al assistant could help him analyze and monitor his daily activities and online operations for any abnormalities that might lead people to notice something unusual. It would then provide solutions to help him keep his mutation a secret.
After spending an entire day, Xiang Kun had a rough framework for implementing this and marked the majority of the functionalities along with numerous technical difficulties to be tackled.
However, the deeper he delved into it, the more he realized that this project was not something he could complete on his own in a short amount of time.
