Chapter 403 Are You Qualified to Fall?

No one has to work anymore, they can enjoy themselves all day and not starve to death, on the contrary, they can rely on strong artificial intelligence to live a life of plenty and play whenever they want.

Since you can live so well without doing anything, why do you have to study hard and do scientific research?

Yes, as long as humans find a way to prevent strong artificial intelligence from rebelling, they can stay in a galaxy for tens of thousands of years, using the inexhaustible stellar energy and the vast amount of rocky planetary materials to meet all the needs of the entire human race.

Moreover, once most people in the whole society have this kind of thinking, scientists and researchers who were originally at the forefront of scientific research will also become mentally unbalanced.

Why should I work hard to do research, while you lie there and enjoy a luxurious life. Why should I work hard to study the science of labor for you who have made no contribution to mankind all day. Why can you enjoy not having to go to work, while I have to get up early and go to bed late every day.

In this case, let's lie down together.

Although this has not happened, many things are foreseeable. If the application of strong artificial intelligence is not handled well, even if humans still call for science supremacy the day before, they may enter the land of comfort after waking up from sleep.

At this time, many scientists think of the awakener.

Why is the awakener called the awakener? It is because the awakener has been awakening the fallen civilization. What kind of civilization is the fallen civilization?

In the past, humans who were still struggling to survive did not have time to think about it, but now they feel that they are close to the fallen civilization.

Presumably, the so-called fallen civilization is a civilization in which the overall thought of the entire civilization is inclined to enjoy pleasure and eventually loses the driving force for technological advancement!

"Will many civilizations become fallen civilizations after entering the third-level civilization?"

"Are a mere aerospace-level civilization qualified to fall?"

"Ideal degeneration, is this another big filter for the third-level civilization in addition to the rebellion of strong artificial intelligence?"

"Then why do the awakeners of the sixth-level civilization want to awaken those fallen civilizations? What is the benefit to them? Is it just a hobby? Or an ideal?"

The emergence of strong artificial intelligence has caused human scientists and high-level officials of the new government to ask themselves one question after another.

All these problems, when summarized, point to one direction, that is, how humans should use strong artificial intelligence.

For this reason, the top leaders of mankind have held discussions more than once.

Just like the discussion that is currently going on, a group of scientists and scholars have held heated discussions on the use of strong artificial intelligence.

Yue Yuan was naturally present. The discussion had been going on for a while. It was not an expanded meeting, nor a large meeting for decision-making, so there were not many people.

At this time, a participant pressed the signal light representing himself to indicate that he wanted to speak. After seeing Yue Yuan, who was presiding over the meeting, pressed the consent button, he spoke into the microphone: "Everyone, we have not forgotten what the awakener said. The degenerate civilization does not depend on how high the civilization level is. As long as the overall civilization is comfortable and enjoyable, and has caused a long period of technological stagnation, it can basically be generally classified as a degenerate civilization.

But what I want to say is that strong artificial intelligence is only an apparent cause of the degeneration problem. The emergence and application of strong artificial intelligence is only an inducement for the degeneration, a pusher and a catalyst, not the essential cause."

When everyone heard someone else express their views, they looked sideways, but saw that the source of the voice was a cute girl who looked very cute.

Without much thought, everyone knew who she was, that this person could still attend this level of meeting. It must be Shi Lifen, the student of Dr. Yi Kai.

She is a doctor of biology and genetics. She has been working in Yi Kai's research institute for a long time, but now she has her own research institute, and a group of scientific researchers have formed a scientific research team with her.

She has become a top scientist.

Shi Lifen looks silly, but that is only due to biotechnology, genetic technology, and life medicine. Many people in human society now look young at such an old age.

So Shi Lifen looks silly, but her mind is not silly. She paused for a moment, then continued, "The fundamental reason is still us humans. The greedy and lazy nature of genes is the root of degeneration. If human society degenerates, it must be that the rationality of those people is defeated by the nature of genes, and their thoughts are controlled by the instincts of genes."

"To give a simple example, most of you here are male compatriots, and you must be familiar with the term 'sperm on the brain'. Yes, I am talking about that kind of primitive desire. Of course, I am not targeting male compatriots, but also women.

In genetics, we show that we lose our normal judgment and rationality due to physiological needs, especially under the stimulation of wormholes, and thus make impulsive or irresponsible behaviors."

"I give this example mainly to say that whether it is sperm on the brain or hedonistic degeneration, its essence is the primitive instinctive trend of genes, which is the result of more than three billion years of biological evolution. Its influence on our rational thoughts is so subtle that we don't know when we started to degenerate."

"So our team believes that if we want to completely prevent humans from falling into hedonistic depravity, we have to start with the fundamental problem, that is, we must genetically transform humans again. We have to find a way to find the switch of the degenerate gene, and then use our reason and wisdom to defeat it, or suppress it, just as the life potion takes effect."

At this time, a scholar couldn't help but interrupt and said: "Professor Shi means that before we apply strong artificial intelligence, we must not only find a way to prevent it from rebelling, but also transform our genes again?"

Due to the long-standing existence of gene cutting technology and the theory of designed evolution, humans are not opposed to genetic modification.

"No!" Shi Lifen replied: "I just said that we should increase research in this area, and I didn't say that we must genetically modify ourselves before investing in strong artificial intelligence. Hedonistic depravity will not appear instantly, it has a process, so we still have time. As long as we formulate some targeted rules for the use of strong artificial intelligence, I believe that this process can be greatly delayed."

Shi Lifen's words fully reveal the true nature of genetic determinism.

In fact, this is also the case. She believes that as long as the lazy genetic instinct of human beings has not been successfully transformed by technology, then human beings will one day become a degenerate civilization under the catalysis of strong artificial intelligence.

When most individuals in a civilization tend to degenerate, even if there are some sober individuals, it is difficult to reverse the situation. The reason is that the development of science and technology and the promotion of science require a huge population base. A small number of people, let alone developing science and technology, are already very powerful if they can maintain the science and technology of a civilization from regressing.

"That's possible." Another scholar took over and said, "We can specify some policies and regulations. We will definitely put strong artificial intelligence into use, but we can set some permissions. Military and civilian use can be separated. I think this aspect can be reflected in the knowledge reserve and data extraction of 'robot workers'. Many ordinary people's robot workers do not need to know everything."

Another participant also spoke out his opinion: "Of course! But what I am worried about is another thing, which is also the most direct thing. That is the impact of the emergence of strong artificial intelligence on all walks of life, such as some private commodity stores, such as whether the school education system should be changed? Should the original courses that cultivate our human hands-on ability be cancelled? For example, should we humans give up our hands-on ability from now on? How to arrange those workers who were originally engaged in various related industries?"

This participant asked a lot of questions, all of which are worth thinking about, and they are also problems that must be solved before artificial intelligence is put into use.

Humanity is a group, not the will of one person, so the emergence of new technologies will inevitably cause the problem of replacing old and new social habits.

These need to be solved one by one by the new government led by Yue Yuan.

So in the coming days, Yue Yuan will definitely be very busy.

And this is just the impact of strong artificial intelligence on society and the people. If military issues are added, Yue Yuan really wants to split himself in half.

As some military personnel have raised the question, after strong artificial intelligence can only be used, should the human fleet still maintain the mode of human-driven warships?

After all, the disadvantages of this mode are too obvious. If a warship is destroyed, thousands of humans will die. If they are all handed over to strong artificial intelligence, then no matter how the war is fought in the future, humans will not suffer any losses.

But is it really good to do this? Or is it really beneficial to humans?

Don’t you see that even powerful civilizations like the Awakeners need artificial intelligence to wake up their civilization individuals from sleep during wars.

When humans entered the third-level civilization, a lot of problems emerged in various fields.
