Is artificial intelligence a Pandora's box?

In the face of the rise of intelligence, many people have worries and anxieties. This is nothing new, and it is more pitiful that human beings, who even maintain their own race, have doubts and precautions.

After all, people who have feelings and prejudice will do evil, and computers that make judgments based on rational calculations will seem to do "evil," and it's easy to do.

This makes many people pessimistic about the development of artificial intelligence.

Of course, artificial intelligence is still in its theoretical and preliminary development stage, and people are still dominated by various speculations, but when one day, humans find that artificial intelligence is too "intelligent", and in some aspects it is almost beyond human understanding. .

Andy believes that human concerns about AI will reach a new height.

And this time will not be too long, after all, the world is actively investing in the field of AI, and the field of artificial intelligence is bound to usher in a big explosion.

And this outbreak period has benefited from the development of "machine learning".

Computer programs with powerful computing capabilities can automatically mine and analyze large amounts of data and learn various behavioral patterns.

The input and output are no longer controlled by several variables manually assigned, but let the machine analyze the characteristics in a large amount of data and determine the variable weight ...

In simpler and more straightforward terms, for example, when it comes to the hottest areas of artificial intelligence, deep learning is ridiculously called "modern alchemy" in the entire field of artificial intelligence.

Entering various types of data to train intelligent programs, "refining" a bunch of things we do not know why such a thing ...

The neural network for processing data is usually composed of dozens or hundreds of neurons, and then organized by several layers of logical structure. The operation process is very complicated. Intelligent programs set algorithms and weights for themselves, and why humans as developers ca n’t fully understand why they output a certain decision.

Will humans trust an "unintelligible" decision-maker?

The answer is yes.

When Andy decided to invest in the development of AI, it had reached a consensus with Edward, a technology bull, and had certain restrictions and restrictions on it, although it was a few galaxies far away from that high artificial intelligence.

But since there are seeds of doubt and expectations of application results, there must be constraints, and you must be cautious ... this is human!

Artificial intelligence is not so much a thinking ability as a machine's reflection and understanding of existing data in the human world. Will machines inherit the prejudice, impermanence, and greed that humans have?

This is perhaps the greatest concern of humankind!

The so-called "intelligent mining" of user data by artificial intelligence is actually easy to walk on the edge of compliance but against fairness and ethics.

For example, in the simplest example, an e-commerce company can conduct targeted and precise price discrimination against a person based on the accumulation of data on a person's consumption habits and consumption data, after analyzing and calculating through big data.

For the same product, users who use iCrazy mobile phones are likely to pay more than users who use Android 8,800, because they are analyzed by big data and tend to be insensitive to price ...

(It's not a joke, if you are interested, you can find some e-commerce website and try it on your mobile phone.)

All in all, in the eyes of artificial intelligence that targets business interests, there is no concept of "people" or "users", everything is data that can be used.

With the assistance of big data and artificial intelligence, we can maximize the capital by monitoring everyone and extracting information.

This is the main reason why the entire artificial intelligence industry is ambiguous about things like data collection.

After all, ai, as one of the hottest and most profitable businesses in the future, is too big and attractive.

What's more, as Andy thinks, the current technology is far from real artificial intelligence, and its impact on social ethics is even more negligible. Free yourself.

After that, Andy took Ivana to the security center again, met Hur Guo, and learned about the operation and development progress of Xia Yundun.

At this time, Yundun had begun to provide external services and began to make a profit. In order to seize the market, Andy moved the set of the Tianchao method and launched a free simple download version with advertisements. Version and enterprise version.

In addition to grabbing the market, the free version is mainly responsible for the receipt data. After all, the development of Cloud Shield cannot be separated from a large number of virus databases, and this data is personally okay, but it is a huge amount for enterprises. wealth.

One day, the happiest person is Ivana. As the hostess, she accompanied Andy to inspect her most curious and the most mysterious part of all assets.

On the way back to the mansion in a helicopter, Andy received a call from his grandfather Old Smith. In the call, Old Smith told Andy the Federal Reserve was about to launch a series of major measures aimed at adjusting the focus of policy.

While maintaining the federal funds rate at an all-time low and unchanged from zero to 0.25%, it has spent trillions of dollars on government bonds and mortgage-related bonds.

Among them, the purchase of real estate mortgage bonds and institutional bonds totaled 850 billion U.S. dollars and the purchase of long-term national debt of 300 billion U.S. dollars in the next six months to unfreeze the credit market, inject liquidity, and stimulate economic recovery.

According to the Federal Reserve Act of the United States, during the economic crisis, the Fed has the power to issue unlimited currency and issue loans to anyone without the need for Congress to approve it.

The Federal Reserve's lending program has increased its assets from $ 900 billion to $ 1.8 trillion. The "big hand" to stimulate the economy this time is absolutely unprecedented and can be described as crazy.

"They are crazy!"

Although it had been expected, printing money of this scale also made Andy a bit weak.

"This is also no way out. At a time when interest rate cuts are about to be lost, the Fed can only fully utilize the function of a" money printing machine "and inject liquidity into the market to stimulate economic recovery.

Loss of work, shrinking stocks and housing prices, tight credit, are affecting consumer sentiment and spending, weak sales prospects and difficulty in obtaining credit funds, leading companies to cut inventory and fixed investment, and the economy of our trading partner countries into recession, Causing our exports to plummet. These factors have forced the Fed to use all means to promote economic growth. "

After hearing his grandfather's explanation, Andy shook his head and sighed helplessly. To be honest, there is really no other good way. Perhaps only by opening the gate and letting the water out of its own hands can it pull the economy out of the downward spiral.

"Oh, at least this news will make the stock market rally more powerful ..."

"Well, you know it's fine. There is nothing else, boy. You can become the richest man in the world. Grandpa is really happy and proud of you."

Andy hangs up the old Smith's phone with a smile, and with Ivana's gaze, he dials out again with his mobile phone.

"Increase your quota and short USD!"

The call of his grandfather and old Smith is undoubtedly to inform Andy of this news, so that he can make preparations in advance, and Andy's think tank has long been short of US dollars. Now the news confirms that it is necessary to increase the amount.

After notifying Arvitelli and hanging up, Andy smiled and said to Ivana next to her, "Gold is about to usher in a surge!"

Ivana blinked a pair of big eyes, her mouth was raised, and she smiled sweetly: "The banknote printing machine is running at full speed, making US dollars fast, and only gold can maintain its value! In this way, the recovery of real estate may not wait too long. "

Andy sighed and said lightly: "The Fed is actually devaluing the US dollar, and the worrying thing is that central banks around the world are fighting for devaluation." D
