Chapter 23: Poaching? General O’Neil’s Joke!

After hearing Yamashita Seishi announce his surrender, everyone present had incredulous expressions on their faces.

This was the world Go champion and he had actually lost to a robot?

This was simply unbelievable.

“Yamashita Seishi actually lost…”

“I really didn’t expect it.”

“The artificial intelligence designed by Anderson actually has such a level?”

“This is no longer a simple artificial intelligence. We’ve had our doubts before this but now we must put them aside and think of this project in a new light.”

“Yes, we should believe in Anderson and Robot No. 1.”

At this point, the researchers’ faces revealed a guilty expression.

“This artificial intelligence is already so powerful?” General O’Neil was stunned and muttered to himself.

Although O’Neil didn’t know much about Go nor did he care, it wasn’t easy to reach the level of world champion.

And to be able to defeat the world champion of Go only meant one thing: Robot No. 1 had the strength of a world-class Go player.

How did this happen?

He had never heard of such technology in the scientific community before, so how could it be developed so suddenly?

O’Neil’s heart was filled with doubt.

At this moment, Joseph saw the confusion in O’Neil’s eyes. He smiled and said, “General O’Neil, you must have a lot of doubts in your heart right now. General, do you really want to know why such a simple machine can do such a magical thing?”

Hearing Joseph’s words, O’Neil immediately nodded and replied, “I really want to know why.”

Joseph waved his hand to signal for Anderson to come over.

At this moment, the match on the field had already finished. Anderson was controlling the AI for a while, and at the same time, he walked over with Yamashita Seishi.

“Anderson, although we won this match, there are still many things that everyone doesn’t understand. I hope that you can explain it to solve everyone’s doubts,” Joseph said with a smile.

Anderson held the Robot No. 1 controller in his hand and connected it to the projection screen.

He explained, “The AI I designed is more like a data robot loaded with a supercomputer than a traditional AI. With the support of a large amount of data, he only needs to constantly adjust the plan according to real-time feedback.

“As for its data feedback speed, as long as there is information stored in the database, it can be retrieved. Therefore, this match might seem like a match between an ordinary robot and Yamashita Seishi but in reality, Yamashita Seishi is competing against all the Go masters in the world.

“All the game moves that Yamashita Seishi knows, Robot No. 1 knows. He is also aware of those that he doesn’t know either. With the addition of big data, unless Shishi Yamashita can do the same thing, it’s basically impossible for him to win.

“Therefore, this chess game is unfair to Yamashita Seishi. Robot No. 1 only needs to arrange and combine all the Go moves that he knows.”

After listening to Anderson’s explanation, both O’Neil and the other researchers understood the reason for all of this.

Simply put, as long as Robot No. 1’s loading speed was fast enough, it was basically impossible for humans to surpass Robot No. 1’s calculation speed and steps.

When you made the first reaction, it had already calculated dozens of steps later.

Furthermore, the number and speed would continue to increase.

“Anderson, is this the artificial intelligence that you want to build? It’s too scary!” The young assistant was the most receptive to new things. Coupled with the performance of artificial intelligence before this, he quickly realized what would happen once this artificial intelligence was released. It would be a huge improvement from the previous version.

With this kind of technology, whether it was for people’s lives or the military, it would change the course of history.

After all, with such a mechanical soldier or a staff officer, a large number of casualties could be avoided on the battlefield.

It was unimaginable to rely on the will of the military against such an emotionless machine.

O’Neil thought of this and looked at Anderson, asking urgently, “Anderson, can such a machine be mass-produced?”

“If it’s the current one, it might not be able to be replicated. This one costs us quite a bit of energy. Actually, for such artificial intelligence, the most important thing is the chip. If it’s mass-produced, it might still be 20% inferior to this one, but it’ll still satisfy all its required functions,” Anderson explained.

“Very good. With 80% of this machine, I’m already very satisfied.”

General O’Neil seemed to have seen his mechanical team bowing to him in his mind and he could not help but smile.

Anderson naturally saw through General O’Neil’s thought and quickly reminded, “General, I have something very important to tell you. If the machine is too powerful, it will also bring a problem. That is, the soldiers will rely too much on the machine and their individual will and ability will slowly be weakened.

“While machines can be replaced, people’s willpower cannot. Therefore, although Robot No. 1 looks good, once the military starts to popularize such a weapon and neglects training their human personnel, they’ll only be able to face death if they ever lose the machines on their side.”

Hearing Anderson’s reminder, O’Neil suddenly woke up.

“Anderson is right. This kind of machine can not be casually used in the military. Moreover, it cannot be widely used. It is best to use it as a trump card.” Joseph also understood the importance of artificial intelligence at this time and its huge limitations.

O’Neil took a deep breath and nodded to Joseph. “I understand. I will use this kind of artificial intelligence robot carefully.”

O’Neil turned to look in the direction of Anderson and smiled. “Young man, you’re not bad. Do you want to develop our military?”

Before Anderson could say anything, Joseph interrupted, “That won’t do. Anderson is now a member of Hyman Technology. Moreover, this is the first technology he has produced and it has already reached such a high level. His future is limitless!”

William nodded and said, “Joseph is right. Letting such a technological genius go to the military is a waste of his technological talent!”

“Hey, you don’t have to be so excited. I was just joking.” O’Neil saw the anxious faces of the two people and he put out his hands to comfort them..
