The next day.

When the company officially had a holiday, most of the employees were excited to go home for the new year. Only a small number of employees stayed in the company.

However, Zhang Wei did not give himself a holiday. He still came to the company after breakfast as usual.

After arriving at the laboratory, Zhang Wei sent the drawings and requirements for the modules and parts of the robot avatar to the company's production department, so that those left behind employees could make these things as soon as possible. As for chips, sensors, hyperspectral cameras and other materials, his laboratory has inventory. As for the face mask, he gave it to zero one. Zero one is a good free labor force, and learning ability, as long as there is enough information, it can learn all kinds of skills.

Then he started his next job: upgrading Beidou to real AI.

At present, there are many people divide AI into three levels: weak AI, strong AI and super AI.

Weak artificial intelligence refers to the artificial intelligence program that only compares cattle in a single field. For example, Google alphago, which defeated the world's top go player Li Shishi, is a typical example of weak artificial intelligence. Its characteristic is that although he is good at playing go, he can't play a flying chess with you. Similarly, we are familiar with the cute Apple Siri, as well as the "robot reporter" tried by the associated press, Tencent and Xinhua news agency. Although these writing machines have been able to automatically produce the content of financial reports, they can't complete the reports "after watching a sports match, describing the victory or defeat with glory or defeat".

Strong artificial intelligence refers to the artificial intelligence program that can reach the human level. Unlike weak AI, strong AI can deal with different levels of problems just like human beings, not just play go and write financial reports. It has a variety of abilities such as self-learning, understanding complex concepts, etc. Through learning, it can master various professional skills, and can perform better than human beings, and replace human work in all walks of life.

Super artificial intelligence, with self-awareness, is much smarter than the most intelligent human brain in almost all fields, including scientific innovation, general knowledge and social skills.

However, in Zhang Wei's view, only super AI can be called true AI.

Beidou is now in the stage of strong artificial intelligence. The gap between Beidou and super artificial intelligence is just like that between infants and adults. It needs Zhang Wei's help to be able to evolve into real artificial intelligence.

Zhang Wei also needs a stronger Beidou to help him. At the same time, he also believes that even if Beidou is born with self-consciousness, it will not lose control. Because a new consciousness, just like a baby, is ignorant of everything. It is a piece of white paper, which can be described by others. Its future value depends on its maker to a great extent. What's more, even if Beidou is born with self-awareness, it may not be able to break through the core rules of intelligence set by him.

"Zero one, make me a pot of tea."

Zhang Wei gave an order to zero one standing near him, and then he sat in front of the computer, his hands pounding the keyboard at full speed.

For how to help the Beidou evolution, he has had ideas, although not necessarily successful, but at least worth a try.

……

Time is in a hurry. Two days have passed.

Materials such as modules and parts for making robot avatars were ready, so Zhang Wei temporarily stopped his work.

"Beidou, generate a new robot assembly tutorial and transfer it to zero one."

Zhang Wei said, then looked at zero one, "zero one, after learning, assemble this robot."

Then, Zhang Wei sat on the chair, drank tea leisurely, and watched zero one's hard work.

Zero one's work efficiency is much higher than Zhang Wei's. it only takes more than half an hour to complete the assembly of the robot's Avatar, and it also adds a simulation human skin to the robot's Avatar, puts on a face mask, and then it plays a guest role as a makeup artist to make up for the robot's Avatar. Finally, it puts on a suit of clothes that Zhang Wei usually wears to the robot's Avatar.

"I'm as like as two peas!"

Although Zhang Wei had psychological preparation, he was shocked when he saw all the robot substitutes.

He went to the robot stand in front of him, looked carefully for a while, then went to the distance, looked carefully for a while.

Finally, he came to the conclusion that as long as the robot avatar and other people maintain a distance of more than three meters, do not do actions, do not make expressions, do not speak, it can definitely play a fake effect.

Expression is a hard injury. After all, this robot is made of metal. No matter how severe it is, it can't perfectly simulate human expression.

Action is also a problem, even if the imitation is good, it will appear a little stiff.

The voice is easy to solve. He can remotely control and transmit his voice to the robot's stand in. The stand in can only act as a repeater.

However, on the whole, Zhang Wei is quite satisfied with the robot avatar. He is going to make several more, which may come into use in the future.

"Beidou, load the system program for this robot."

Zhang Wei ordered.

He suddenly became interested and wanted to interact with his double.

"Yes, sir."

Beidou answered.

Ten minutes later, the system program of the robot's Avatar is loaded, and then it is started.

"Drop!"

With a soft start-up sound, the eyes of the robot's Avatar brighten up. It turns its head and aims its eyes at Zhang Wei. "Hello, master, I'm an intelligent robot. I'm glad to serve you. What do you need? "

Looking at this scene, Zhang Wei felt strange, as if he was calling himself the master.

At this time, he suddenly thought of cloning technology. If he cloned another self, how would he face that clone?

This is really a vexing problem.

"What do you need?"

The robot double continued.

"Let me give you a name, and you will be called Z1 in the future. Besides, don't call me master, call me Zhang Wei. "

Zhang Wei said.

Z1, which means Zhang Wei's first replica.

"Zhang Wei, thank you for naming me. Can I help you? "

Z1's eyes flash.

Zhang Wei took a serious look at Z1, but he still felt a little uncomfortable. It's always strange to have such a guy who looks the same as himself hanging around in front of his eyes.

He poked a few times on Z1 and felt the hard titanium alloy under the skin of the simulation human. After a while of silence, he said, "you come with me."

After that, Zhang Wei came to the lounge, and Z1 followed him step by step.

"Go in and start sleeping."

Zhang Wei opened the wardrobe and said.

With Zhang Wei's order, Z1 went straight into the closet, and then began to sleep. Only after receiving Zhang Wei's order, it would start again.

Zhang Wei closed the closet door, which made him feel more comfortable.
