Chapter 319 Artificial Intelligence Expert (4)

Xu Xuehan looked through Wang Qiyi's plan in detail. He asked in confusion, "The elves you mentioned here, such as Rotom, have the ability to merge with various electrical appliances, and their intelligence level is very high. Have you done any tests?"

Wang Qiyi shook his head: "I haven't caught any Rotom for research yet, so I plan to catch a few during the summer vacation in July."

"We haven't done any tests yet! Then why did you write so much detail in your proposal? Are you so sure without any experiments?"

"There are some things I can't tell you because they are trade secrets, but I can confirm one thing, everything in the plan has been verified." Wang Qiyi was too lazy to explain and started to act like a rogue. "I've told you before, we are reaping the fruits of scientific research of a super civilization. Those are things that others have already studied, so just follow their lead. Rotom is an electric and ghost-type elf. Its body is made of plasma, and it can enter some electronic products and merge with them like electricity. It has a strong and growable intelligence, just like us humans. Its intelligence ceiling is much higher than ours, so we can regard it as a strong artificial intelligence."

If Wang Qiyi said this to Xiao Li, it would be fine, because Xiao Li now trusts Wang Qiyi unconditionally. But Xu Xuehan did not have an admiring trust in Wang Qiyi. He was a straight man of science and wanted to get to the bottom of everything: "Picking the scientific research fruits of super civilization? Didn't you say that the elves are the creations of super civilization is just a guess? Now your statement seems to have been verified."

"Senior Xu, why are you always not paying attention to the main point?" Wang Qiyi was irritated by this guy in front of him. Why is this Senior Xu a bit stubborn? Never mind, this is the trait of science and engineering men. He continued, "Just treat it as an assumption. Suppose it is true, okay?"

Xu Xuehan nodded, not dwelling on the issue, and asked, "Okay, let's assume that what you said is true. The elf named Rotom is a super-intelligent elf. What do you need me to do?"

"Very good, I was waiting for you to say that." Wang Qiyi smiled and continued, "Rotom's body is in plasma form, and its brain is a combination of silicon and carbon. Its brain can connect to external electronic hardware facilities to form a super-intelligent network, and at the same time, it can use the biological brain to perform complex thinking and calculations. You are a graduate student in artificial intelligence, and you should know the difference between powerful computers and human brains. Although both are calculations, computers are good at one type of calculation, while human brains are good at two types of fuzzy calculations."

Here is an explanation. One type of calculation is ordinary digital operations, such as how much is the 11th power. In our eyes, this kind of arithmetic cannot be solved simply. Even if we calculate it on a draft book for half an hour, we may not get the result. But if we give it to a computer, we can get the answer in 0.1 seconds. The second type of calculation is fuzzy calculation. For example, if a baby always cries, how can we stop him from crying? Should we rock him, feed him, or play games with him? An experienced mother can know what to do within a second, but a computer may have to consult a huge amount of information on the Internet, or even give the baby a comprehensive physical examination before it dares to draw a conclusion.

"Rotom has a biological brain that can think like a human and perform second-class fuzzy operations. It can also connect its brain to a computer network, and the computer can become its auxiliary brain. It is a natural strong artificial intelligence."

"But none of our current computers can match Rotom 100%. I need you to design a computer specifically for Rotom, and then integrate it with it to provide auxiliary calculations and bring out the functions of Rotom."

Hearing this, Xu Xuehan suddenly interrupted and said, "If the elves you mentioned, such as Rotom, are really so smart and intelligent that they have reached the level of strong artificial intelligence, then why would they obey humans? Just like the reason why we can control elves is because the IQ of elves is only that of a ten-year-old human child. If their IQ is far higher than ours, and their strength is also far higher than ours, then why would they obey humans?"

"You are wrong. You don't understand Pokémon." Wang Qiyi said, "Many Pokémon have IQs far exceeding those of humans, but they still obey their trainers. For example, my Slowpoke can read books, learn by himself, and even speak human language. He can also use superpowers, and he is less than ten years old. As Slowking, he may have a lifespan of more than a hundred years. In the future, his knowledge will be even greater and his IQ will be higher. But he will still obey my command because I am his trainer."

"This..." Xu Xuehan was speechless for a moment. He really didn't understand elves, but he really wanted to ask: Why is this?

Wang Qiyi gave a direct explanation: "Emotion, the first need of the elves is emotion."

"The first need is emotion? What does that mean?"

"Humans are creatures bred naturally on Earth, so like all other creatures, survival and reproduction are their first needs. For these two purposes, humans will do anything, even kill their companions. War, plunder, killing and all other violence originate from these two needs of humans. Elves are not creatures bred naturally, they are technological creations of a certain civilization, and their genes contain emotional needs for a certain master. This may be the design made by the civilization that created them to better domesticate them. Of course, elves are also creatures, so they also have the instinct to survive and reproduce. However, emotions are very important to elves. The growth and evolution of many elves require emotional power. For example, the three evolved forms of Eevee, Sun, Moon and Fairy Eevee, are difficult to evolve in nature because they need to have a deep emotional bond with their masters to evolve."

After listening to Wang Qiyi's words, Xu Xuehan seemed to understand but not quite. The theory about the emotional power of elves was not systematic at all. It was all proposed by Wang Qiyi himself, and Xu Xuehan had never heard of it. As a layman in elf studies, he decided not to speak and just chose to believe it.

"The first need of Pokémon is emotion, so as long as the trainer treats the Pokémon well, then Rotom, as a strong artificial intelligence, will never betray the trainer. However, as biological intelligence, it does not have intelligence that surpasses humans from the beginning, so it needs to be educated bit by bit. Then the second thing I need you to do is to set up a Rotom school and use computer programming to design a learning material. I will ask other experts to discuss and formulate the content of the material, and you only need to make the content of the material into software. Then cultivate Rotom to make them capable of controlling smartphones, and finally create mobile Rotom, a mobile phone with strong artificial intelligence and a living phone. I believe that once this kind of mobile phone enters the market, it will definitely crush other brands of mobile phones."

Xu Xuehan took out a pen and wrote down the tasks he was going to do on the plan Wang Qiyi gave him. He sorted out his thoughts and said, "I will assume that everything you said is true. Then you can take a look at my next work..."

"Don't rush to work," Wang Qiyi interrupted, "just do your graduation project first. I will go to Eagle Country in July. Currently, Rotom only exists in the secret realm of Eagle Country. When I capture a group of Rotom and bring them back to China, you can learn about this kind of Pokémon first and then build a mobile phone for them."

"I'm good at software and programming. If you want to build a mobile phone, I'm afraid I'm not very professional."

"Don't worry. I didn't ask you to complete this task alone. Huiguang Technology has a group of engineers. You will be the team leader and be responsible for promoting this work."

Xu Xuehan and Wang Qiyi chatted in the cafe until the Masters Tournament quarterfinals ended, and they stopped talking when Tu Hanyu came out of the arena. During this time, Wang Qiyi also got a general understanding of Xu Xuehan's professional ability. After all, he is a graduate student from the top university in the country, and his technical ability is absolutely strong, but he just lacks an opportunity to display his talent. He also looks forward to the birth of the mobile phone Rotom that Wang Qiyi mentioned.
