Future super intelligent system

Chapter 266 Questioning Authority
Two days later in the morning, Wood Dragon Technology welcomed a hale and hearty old man. He was wearing a delicate blue suit and a standard western face. He was the president of the University of Chicago, Zimmer.

"Mr. Zimmer, you are tired from the journey." Liu Fan is familiar with Zimmer's resume. Zimmer's main research direction is geometry and mathematics, but he has general interests and achievements in basic mathematics. Before the president of the university, he was the dean of the Department of Mathematics at the University of Chicago, so Liu Fan had a wonderful sense of intimacy with Zimmer before he formally contacted him.

"Hello, Mr. Liu, I finally have the opportunity to meet you." Ji Mo responded in Chinese, and also used honorifics.

Liu Fan stretched out his hand to signal Jimo to take a seat, "Mr. Jimo probably hasn't been to Huaxia for several years, is it familiar to you this time?"

"To be honest, it's very unfamiliar. Although I only feel the changes in the airport, the changes are shocking. Unmanned buses, unmanned intelligent salute carts, intelligent customer service, intelligent police assistance, and intelligent flow control. I have always heard about Huaxia's The application of intelligence is the first in the world, and a small airport can indeed see a microcosm. Presumably all these changes are due to Mr. Liu."

"Mr. Zimmer is too absurd. I am just a provider of technology. The changes in China today are due to every Chinese person."

At this time, He Lin brought the tea, and Jimo made a gesture of thanks, "Mr. Liu, if it's convenient, I wonder if I'm lucky enough to visit the Wood Dragon Laboratory first?"

Ji Mo was a little anxious, but Liu Fan liked it even more. Liu Fan immediately took Ji Mo to the Wood Dragon Laboratory.

Liu Fan first took Jimo to the Basic Mathematics Building. As soon as they entered the door, there was a sudden change in the air on the right side of the two. A second later, a holographic female staff member in a shirt, suit and skirt appeared in front of them.

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Jimo, welcome to the Basic Mathematics Branch of Wood Dragon Laboratory. Where are you going now?"

"Let's go to the Geometry and Mathematics Lab first."

"Okay, this way, please." The holographic female staff led the way in a very simulated way. Zimmer was carefully observing the holographic effect along the way and remained silent.

When they walked to the elevator, the elevator had just opened. After the two of them and their entourage entered, the elevator automatically closed and pressed the floor they were going to.

When I came to the third floor, I didn't walk a few steps to the Geometry and Mathematics Research Office. There were hundreds of people gathered in the room of more than 200 square meters. For holographic images, researchers are conducting intensive communication and operations.

When they saw Liu Fan and Jimo, everyone was about to come over to say hello, Liu Fan made a gesture to signal everyone to continue their work.

After everyone entered the research state again, Liu Fan and Ji Mo watched silently from the sidelines.

The entire holographic effect is divided into dozens of plates, but Zimmer can tell at a glance that this is the polyhedron Euler's theorem, but he hasn't seen what these researchers are studying for a while.

But at present, everyone's operation method is the most eye-catching place. The researchers can freely zoom, extract, split, combine and other operations on the holographic image through gestures. Including the detailing and slowing down of the graphic change process, compared with the use of traditional computers, holography is obviously more convenient and intuitive, and Zimmer can perceive it very sensitively. Such a research method will more easily stimulate research. Inspiration for people.

In addition, Zimmer gradually discovered two other big points. Researchers often have conversations with holographic images. Everyone will call each other Xiaomu, but this Xiaomu is not within the range of the naked eye, but this Xiaomu is. It aroused Zimmer's strong attention, because Xiaomu would put forward many interesting views and opinions. Zimmer was too sensitive to geometry and mathematics, so sensitive that he could immediately determine how valuable the things communicated by Xiaomu were.

Moreover, what this Xiaomu provides is often not a conclusion, but data analysis. The most important point is that this Xiaomu often raises doubts and questions about authority.

"Mr. Liu." Jimo didn't feel tired after staying for two full hours, "Is that Xiaomu they are talking about?"

Liu Fan nodded, "Artificial intelligence."

"This is what you mentioned before, artificial intelligence participates in research and development." Zimmer said to himself, "Perhaps, only artificial intelligence dares to question authority like this."

"Mr. Jimo seems to be very interested in our artificial intelligence-assisted research and development? Do you need me to introduce you in detail?" Liu Fan asked along the way.

Jimo thought for a few seconds, and signaled Liu Fan not to disturb the researchers when he went out to talk, "I don't know if Mr. Liu knows that since the University of Chicago was founded, we have always attached great importance to students' questioning spirit, because we know a truth very well. In the past, Information is relatively closed, and it is difficult to capture big data, so many theories may not necessarily be correct, and may only be applicable in a small range.

With the rapid changes of the times, we need more accurate basic theories, we need more accurate general technology, our students and our researchers should learn to question and question authority.But this matter is actually very difficult, because we build our thinking structure based on these authoritative theoretical foundations.

Imagine if one day, someone proves that Newton's three theorems are wrong, the academic world will be subverted, many research projects will be suspended, and even the whole world may enter a period of chaos.

But in my opinion, this is not impossible. Mr. Liu also studies basic mathematics. I believe Mr. Liu is also very clear that there are too many unexplainable problems in this world. Many people attribute them to theology, but as As a staunch materialist, I do not agree with this kind of thinking. My opinion is that there are many mistakes in our basic theories, so we cannot explain those phenomena in the correct way.

So I suddenly thought just now that artificial intelligence may really be the best role to question the authority at present, because it can do everything with the results of data analysis, and it can jump out of the shackles and influence of traditional basic theories. Simply use big data to dig out what you think is the truth. "

Seeing Jimo's daydreaming expression, Liu Fan gave a roguish smile and immediately followed the trend, "Mr. Jimo, when it comes to subverting tradition, are you interested in seeing our subversive cognition of basic mathematics?"

"Oh?" Ji Mo really showed interest immediately, "I wish for it."

"Then come with me."
