Chapter 1563: Limited Power
Tail took Lili away.
Lili was unwilling to say goodbye.
Not because of Lu Zhou’s big house, but because she would miss Xiao Ai, who often played games with her.
But when Xiao Ai told her that they could meet inside the games at any time, the little girl burst into laughter again and happily left with Tail.
When leaving, Lu Zhou gave Tail a large amount of credits and asked her to take good care of this poor girl.
On the second day back to Jinling.
Just like Lu Zhou had expected, Li Guangya called him, and as soon as he greeted him, Li Guangya posed a problem.
“The Pan-Asian Cooperation is considering revising the existing Artificial Intelligence Management Bill… I hope to be able to borrow your wisdom.”
“No need to be so polite. Tell me what you need.”
Li Guangya, who was standing in the holographic beam, was slightly stunned. He then said with a smile, “Academician Lu, you know me too well.”
“It’s written on your face.” Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “But just this once. Don’t trouble me with this kind of thing next time. I also have my own business to deal with.”
“I know, I promise not to do it next time.” Li Guangya smiled unconvincingly. After a pause, he continued, “Speaking of which, there is one thing that I have always wanted to ask you.”
“Yeah?”
“Actually, when I was in Singapore, I met an awakened assassin.”
“Oh?” Lu Zhou looked at Li Guangya unexpectedly. He didn’t understand why he told him this, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, “What then?”
Li Guangya: “He almost succeeded, but an accident happened at the last moment. After an autopsy, it was determined that his death was a result of brain necrosis.”
Lu Zhou smiled.
“It seems that I was just in time.”
What a lucky guy…
If I were late by a day, he would be six feet under.
“Well, I have to say thank you for this matter… Although I would like to thank you in a more serious manner, I’m guessing you don’t care about these subtleties.”
Lu Zhou: “No, I actually do care about it. If you can, I hope you can treat it as a debt of favor.”
Li Guangya’s eyebrow twitched. He coughed dryly and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t forget it, but for now, let’s get down to business first.”
After a pause, the chairman put on a serious expression and watched Lu Zhou seriously.
“What I want to ask is, what kind of existence are those awakened robots? They are so similar to us that they are almost indistinguishable. I can’t believe that a robot actually infiltrated my staff team for two full years!”
Lu Zhou gave an answer after thinking about it for a while.
“A flesh and blood body dominated by artificial intelligence… I think the forensic doctor in charge of the autopsy would know more about their physiological structure than me.”
“I don’t care about that kind of academic issue. I just want to know whether they have real thoughts and complete personalities… This is very important!”
Lu Zhou gave Li Guangya a weird look. He thought for a while and said, “Are there real thoughts and personalities…? This question is difficult to answer, because most of the time, thoughts and personalities themselves are subjective things. From my understanding, they probably have limited thinking ability and fragmented feelings.”
Li Guangya frowned and said, “Fragmented feelings?”
“Yeah.” Lu Zhou nodded and said, “For example, the robots awakened by the ALPHA virus executed in their core programs were programmed to hate and kill. And another housekeeper that I know, which was naturally awakened, runs her core program on family affection and friendships.
“The reason why it is fragmented feelings is that they may not know what they are, but in vague cognition, they have certain subjective motives other than commands.”
Li Guangya said with a serious expression, “In other words, is this an unstable factor?”
“If you were my student, I would have kicked you out of class.” Lu Zhou rolled his eyes and continued, “This relationship may indeed deteriorate, just like a child with an unsound mind. Throw him into a gang, and you can hardly expect him to become a useful person to society under the influence of the gang members.
“But from another perspective, our society itself is fair, and there are enough samples. The proportion of those with sound minds in our society must be the overwhelming majority, and for the same reason, the overwhelming majority of the awakened ones must also be intelligent robots who have good intentions and are beneficial to our society. And when the fragments of feelings are constantly improved and eventually developed into a complete puzzle, I believe that the germinated seeds will give us all unexpected surprises.”
“So, your worries are actually superfluous,” Lu Zhou said softly. Looking at Li Guangya who was in deep thought, he then added, “Sooner or later, they will become an inseparable part of our society. We just need to be prepared and accept them when necessary.”
Li Guangya: “In fact, at the beginning, I still had an important question to ask you, but after hearing what you said… I already thought of the answer.”
The important question was how to deal with the 1,024 people uploaded into the hardware.
This was the main question he wanted to ask Lu Zhou today.
But now, he had already thought of a good way to deal with it.
Although this was a moral trap set by David Lawrence for them, it might be an opportunity that they could take advantage of.
“Really? It seems that you already have your own plan, so I’ll hang up first.”
Lu Zhou, who didn’t want anymore trouble, was about to hang up, but at this moment, Li Guangya quickly stopped him.
“Wait a second.”
Lu Zhou said, “What now?”
Li Guangya smiled embarrassedly and said, “You haven’t answered my initial question… Regarding the legislation of the new Artificial Intelligence Management Bill, I want to know your suggestions!”
“My suggestions? Actually, I don’t have any suggestions, but if I have to give one, you can try to consider giving limited citizenships to those advanced artificial intelligence who have the ability to think and feel.”
Those who had the ability to think could play more roles in the Pan-Asian Cooperation society and could do far more than before, such as becoming scientific researchers, artists… or do other complex tasks.
Therefore, it wouldn’t be a bad thing to give some basic rights to them.
Li Guangya frowned. “But is this okay? I am worried that once this is opened up, we may face even greater trouble someday in the future…”
“That’s why it’s a limited citizenship.” Lu Zhou sighed softly and said, “If you are still worried about the issues that I explained earlier, then this call is of no use.”
After speaking, Lu Zhou hung up the phone and went on to focus on his own work.
