Chapter 1478 The Overcast Cloud

"Have you heard?"

"What did you hear?"

"Gunshots were heard on the outskirts of Jinling High-tech Park, and a lot of policemen were seen... It is said that it is related to the bionic crimes that have been rumored a while ago."

"Really? Don't spread rumors. I heard that someone is making a movie there... Isn't it to refute the rumors?"

"Huh? I just heard that... Maybe? But do you really think bionics are safe? A while ago, the Museum of Jinling Institute for Advanced Study lost one, and it is said that he slipped away by himself."

"Maybe it's to celebrate the resurrection of Academician Lu? In any case, the three laws of robotics are unbreakable. It is impossible for the regulatory authorities to release water here. The technical strength of the Hippocampus Group is also there. Where can such illogical loopholes appear... ...Okay, let's change the subject."

On the campus of Jinling University, walking on the tree-lined path leading to the preparatory classroom, Lu Zhou heard the discussion of the students walking in front, couldn't help but twitched his brows, and unconsciously quickened his pace.

His original intention was actually that he didn't want to listen to others talking about him, and wanted to leave here quickly.

Unexpectedly, when he passed by the two students, he frightened the two students so much that they couldn't speak fluently.

After arriving in the classroom, Lu Zhou glanced at the scattered students in the classroom, and sat down in a random seat in the first row.

About five or six minutes later, the class bell rang, and the instructor Sun he had seen a while ago walked in from outside the classroom in a hurry.

When she saw Lu Zhou sitting in the first row, the young girl suddenly opened her eyes wide, and she froze there as if she had seen something extraordinary.

"Lu, Academician Lu, hello!"

"Hello," looking at Sun Lan who was nervously greeting him, Lu Zhou smiled friendly, "Don't worry about me, let's start class."

"Ah, good, good!"

Perhaps because he never thought that he would teach Academician Lu one day, the tutor Sun was quite nervous throughout the class, and even accidentally bit his tongue when he talked about excitement.

Lu Zhou was quite surprised to be able to teach such a boring theoretical class so ups and downs, which made people laugh.

Of course, what surprised him the most was what he learned in class.

Especially the bionic human technology that affects the entire human civilized society in the 22nd century, and a series of social problems brought about by this technology and so on.

Although Lu Zhou himself is more concerned about some things on the technical level, this interpretation of real technology from the perspective of humanities can be regarded as opening a special perspective for him.

After class, Lu Zhou spent 10 seconds sorting out the problems he learned in get out of class, then stood up from his seat and walked to the podium.

"Can I ask a question?"

Seeing Lu Zhou asking herself a question, the little girl standing behind the podium subconsciously stood up straight, as if she had made a mistake, and said nervously.

"You, please ask!"

"Don't be so nervous, it's not a personal matter," Lu Zhou smiled at the nervous Daoist Sun, and then continued in a calm tone, "I have some doubts about bionics...you It was mentioned in the class that in the history of Pan-Asian cooperation, there was a debate about whether bionics have a complete personality, and I want to know the reason and final result of this debate.”

Sun Lan: "Are you talking about the 2077 "Artificial Intelligence Management Measures Draft"?"

Lu Zhou nodded, motioning for her to continue.

"The cause of that debate... is actually nothing mysterious. Since a long time ago, after the birth of highly anthropomorphic AI with strong learning ability, the academic circles have been arguing over whether advanced artificial intelligence algorithms have a complete personality. However, some views believe that the artificial intelligence designed based on machine learning theory is just an imitation of human behavior, and the emotions it displays are just a manifestation of imitation. Contrary to this point of view, Yes, part of the argument is that advanced artificial intelligence already possesses basic forms of life and that it should be given human rights, or at least limited human rights."

"Originally, this debate was only in the academic circles. Until 2076, a lawsuit expanded the scope of this debate from the academic circles to the level of national discussion. The defendant is the Civil Affairs Bureau, and the reason for the plaintiff's lawsuit is that the defendant Prohibiting him from completing marriage registration with his own bionic person is against the spirit of the Constitution."

"This lawsuit finally came to an end in the form of an out-of-court settlement, and then in the "Artificial Intelligence Management Measures Draft" issued the following year and the final draft in 2078, it was finally determined that artificial intelligence has no political rights and limited rights. The social status of human rights, and this bill has also been borrowed by other countries, has become the basis of the current artificial intelligence management bill. Including the identity code of AI, many concepts that modern people take for granted were determined at that time."

"As for whether bionics have life..." Sun Lan thought about this question for a while, and said with a smile, "It's really hard to say, although rationality tells me that they are just a program, but sometimes I unconsciously They treat it like a real human being."

"So that's how it is..." Lu Zhou nodded thoughtfully, recalling the information collected in that holographic computer before, and continued to ask, "But I heard that there seems to be a way to make the bionic human The system is jailbroken and the underlying logic of the bionic man is modified."

"In theory, this is the case, but not all the underlying logic can be modified," Sun Lan continued, "For example, the one that cannot harm humans, in the design logic of the bionic human memory software, this behavior has already been set. unlearnable."

"What if it's a virus?"

"Virus?" Sun Lan looked at Lu Zhou blankly, and said inexplicably, "...This is beyond the scope of my knowledge. My research on artificial intelligence is mainly at the level of sociology. It can change the underlying logic of bionics. The virus... sounds scary. It's as if your trusted partner has suddenly become less reliable."

Lu Zhou: "It's really scary to say that."

Sun Lan: "If you are interested in research in this area, I recommend Professor Zhang Zhongcheng from the School of Information Engineering to you. He is an expert in this area."

"I will contact him when I have a chance," Lu Zhou nodded and said with a smile, "That's all my questions, thank you for your answer."

"You don't have to thank me, this is my job," Sun Lan smiled a little shyly, trying to overcome the nervousness, and said embarrassedly, "Well...can I trouble you with something?"

Lu Zhou: "What is it?"

"That's right, can I treat you to a meal at noon?" Sun Lan continued with interest shining in his eyes, "I have a lot of things I want to ask you about the time you were active... This is not the same as mine. It is related to the research direction!"

Although he wanted to help her very much, when he thought of the meeting for a while, Lu Zhou showed a helpless expression on his face.

"Sorry, I'm afraid I can't do it today. I have another meeting to hold in a while, and I'll definitely be able to do it next time."

The expression on Sun Lan's face was slightly disappointed, but she still smiled and said.

"Then another day."
