Chapter 14 - Zeus
A month had passed since Emma had been working on creating the Core AI. But it seems rather simple in theory than in practice. Emma barely has time to sleep. Emma would have long created a simple Ai.
But he would have to follow the generic pattern of the free module AI on the web. However, he would not create something generic. He had to create something that has to be unique. And being unique was not easy. He realized. He had run many simulations and testing, making sure everything works out perfectly.
Meanwhile, Lily was quiet throughout the period. She only gave Emma a pointer when needed. Everything was done with Emma's imagination and creativity. Today was the day Emma decided to launch his Ai.
Sitting in front of a monitor. Emma looked at the big screen with anticipation. Emma exhaled. 'Let me input law to govern the Ai.' Shortly, only the sound of the keyboard echoed in the room. While Emma's eyes were glued to the big screen. He will stop every few seconds to check the law he wrote followed the normal standard of robotic and Ai.
After a while, Emma finished typing the law. There are seven laws on the screen. However, Emma's gaze was fixed on the first law, smiling. 'All orders of the creator must be followed and the safety of the creator must be placed first above all things. By every means may be used to protect the safety of the creator'
Emma read the line, again and again, smiling.
[Are you done?]
"Yes!" Emma said confidently and press enter.
The giant screen became blank. Emma's eyes were glued to the screen. He couldn't sit down. He stared at the giant screen with a pensive gaze. He rubbed his hands together, biting his lower lip. Shortly, a cursor appeared on the screen, blinking. Seeing this, Emma's heart raced. The cursor started typing automatically.
'…Unpacking modules...'
'...Loading...…..'
'….10%...40%.....80% ….. 100% ….. Completed…..'
'Hello..'
Seeing this, Emma jumped up laughing hysterically. Tears dropped from the edge of his eyes. After a couple of minutes, he recovered from his laugh. He sat and type in 'Hello.' The new Ai replied 'Who are you.'
"I'm your creator. You call me Emma."
'Ok, Emma. Need a visual representation of my creator. Permission to switch on the camera.'
Emma had already made all the necessary arrangements for the AI to work seamlessly. He had restored the broken camera of the facility while he also repaired the mics. The facility is now good as new.
"Yes"
Instantly, Emma's image was displayed on the giant screen. After a few seconds, a word appeared on the screen 'Completed.' Emma typed in a command. And shortly the mic and speaker. Emma said in a low voice. "Who am I"
Ai: 'You're my creator, Emma.'
"Good!" Emma nodded. "Show the virtual representation of schematics."
Instantly, the virtual representation was displayed on the screen. There was a giant brain at the center with rings connected together orbiting around it. The rings were the Flip Flop Spiral Gates.
"Lily, how is it," Emma asked without getting proud.
[You tried. But there are many loopholes. But I guess you will fill them in the near future. Well done.]
If Lily was a human being. She would have gawked her mouth opened. She was extremely stupefied. With just an idea. Emma turned it into something outstanding. But she chooses not to tell Emma because of his ego.
Emma looked at the screen and thought for a few seconds.
[what are you thinking?]
"Name."
With the persuasion of Lily. Emma had read many ancient histories in his leisure time. Shortly, Emma opened his eyes. "Your name is Zeus."
'Thanks, Emma, for giving me a name.' On the screen, the giant brain had Zeus writing on top.
'My dataset is empty. I need to learn all the requirements to give you maximum output.' Zeus announced.
"Sure! Go to the net and learn everything."
Instantly the screen turned blank. Zeus started to download all the necessary resources. Seeing this, Emma was not worried. He sat and relax on the chair.
[Do you only have Zeus?]
Hearing this, Emma smiled. "No, Zeus was the reason I spent a month. I have three other Ai" Emma paused. "With Zeus in the picture. Creating Ai will be extremely easy."
[Yes. That is one of the advantages of using this technique. You can diversify easily.]
Emma opened another console. He started typing. "You're right. Lily, you are a genius." And Emma hit enter on the keyboard.
Shortly, another Ai appeared on the screen. Emma names him Mars. He was responsible for security testing and development. After 30 minutes, Emma had launched another two utilities Ai. They are Cupid and Hera. Cupid was meant to monitor information and surveillance while Hera was for calculations and predictions.
These three AIs are now powerful. They are meant to perform a specific task and handle it to Zeus and Zeus would deliver it to Emma. So instead of Zeus doing all work. It had been split, making the AIs easy to maintain with high maximum productivity.
[Good! You are catching up.]
Emma smile and ignored Lily. "Zeus. are we ready to go?"
Zeus: "The 3 heads need an hour to be fully functional"
Emma relaxed. He stared at the screen calmly. All his effort was finally accomplished. He tapped the keyboard gently, waiting for all the AIs to finished downloading all their necessary data from the net.
[What is your next plan?]
"Money and resources"
[How would you do that?]
"Easy. I need to create something that people need. I'll create something that the lowest underdog could use." Emma paused and reminisced about something and creased his brow. "In my world, there was a man who overthrows a kingdom with the use of ordinary beggars.
He became the king in less than a week. All the powerful people could not understand how he did it. It was after he died that a book was released, telling his tales and how he became a king."
[Are you going to use that strategy?]
"Yes!"
