Chapter 301 Athena AI Joint Laboratory
Chapter 301 Athena AI Joint Laboratory
Compared to the multi-legged mobile platform, the fire output module on it is much simpler.
First, make a rotating platform, then weld two heavy machine guns with redundant structures cut off, and the rest is to stuff the magazines and remote fire control modules inside.
This design and transformation is simply a piece of cake for the production efficiency of Kang Chi and Pangu Base, and it was done in more than two days.
The next step is to install the external armor.
Kang Chi used armor to protect it tightly, which looks like a steel cap, and the thick alloy shell itself is the best electromagnetic shielding layer, and there is no fear of electromagnetic interference with the internal electronic components.
The only thing exposed in the entire firepower module is the two gun barrels.
So this is completely a small mobile bunker.
The mobile platform is also equipped with an armored shell, and the six legs look even thicker.
This will certainly affect its flexibility and endurance to some extent.
But the positioning of this combat robot is to run out and be a target, to assume the role of fire suppression, and to pursue the role of flexible assault. There will be special light robots in the future.
And after Kang Chi upgrades it with the system, these defects will definitely be alleviated, and the strengths will be further strengthened.
So it is not a big problem.
After Kang Chi officially combined the two modules, it became a bit like a spider without a head, and then the round belly moved forward to the middle.
But at present it is just a shell, and the control program needs to be installed to really move.
Because Kang Chi did not choose the artificial intelligence route, but chose the remote control route, the difficulty of this remote control program is relatively much lower.
As for why the artificial intelligence route was not chosen, it was considered from multiple angles.
First and foremost, it is Kang Chi’s vigilance against strong artificial intelligence.
Creating digital life with self-thinking ability is too risky in Kang Chi’s view.
And is it really necessary? What is the purpose of creating this species? Liberate manpower?
China has no shortage of people. What good can it do to eliminate people by making this thing? Are digital life with self-thinking really willing to work hard for humans and provide for them?
Even if we don’t consider the mechanical revolution, we have to consider the activeness and development potential of civilization.
Unmanned equipment may actually make the soldiers of the army “wasteful”, but if we refer to the e-sports industry, this “waste” is still somewhat reasonable.
As long as the training mode and method are appropriate, the bloodiness of the soldiers can be maintained to a large extent.
But strong artificial intelligence is a bit more lethal.
It is very likely that it will not only make the army waste, but also make the entire human race waste.
In addition, although artificial intelligence is hyped up, never underestimate the computing power and reaction speed of the human brain. More than 10 billion neurons are no joke.
Although the human brain is crushed by the computer in complex computing problems, it can crush the computer in the processing ability, thinking ability and reaction speed of logical problems. The two are completely not of the same order of magnitude.
Although looking to the future, with the development of artificial intelligence, this gap may be gradually narrowed, but technical difficulty and cost are issues that cannot be ignored.
So it is best to take advantage of each other, leave the complex calculation tracking to the computer, and leave the specific instruction operation, tactical arrangement and the like to people.
This is the best solution that Kang Chi believes is currently the safest solution. Just when Kang Chi was busy typing the code, his phone suddenly rang.
The caller was Cai Yaobin.
“What’s the matter?”
”I just sent you an email. Please watch the video on the link first and call me back when you are done.”
After Cai Yaobin finished speaking briefly, he hung up the phone.
It can be seen that this matter still makes him very anxious.
Kang Chi opened his email immediately with curiosity and clicked on a link sent to him by Cai Yaobin.
The link jumped to a video on Nanfang.com.
The title of the video is “Multiple technology companies in the United States jointly held a press conference to build the Athena AI Joint Laboratory”.
At the beginning of the video, Nvidia’s Huang walked onto the stage, and then a row of humanoid robots rose from the bottom of the stage at the same time.
The gorgeous brightThe camera and visual shock immediately brought the atmosphere of the joint press conference to a climax.
”This is the soul of NVIDIA, the intersection of computer graphics, physics, artificial intelligence, all of which have changed at this moment.”
”After years of hard work, NVIDIA has provided a strong boost to the technological development of artificial intelligence with its success in image algorithms and hardware. I think it’s time to let everyone know about our research and development progress.”
After Huang finished speaking, two garbage disposal robots ‘Wall-E’ that looked a bit like the garbage disposal robots in “Wall-E” came out swaying.
However, Wall-E in the movie is tracked, while the one that walked out of the stage now is two-legged, swaying when walking, a bit like a duck.
The cute shape and cute movements immediately caused screams at the scene.
Next, Huang introduced Jetson, an embedded system designed by NVIDIA for the new generation of autonomous machines, and the Blackwell processor platform.
“In order to make intelligent robots enter our lives faster and benefit all mankind, it is obviously not enough to rely on NVIDIA alone. We need more diverse machine models, functions, and manufacturing companies to join the field of artificial intelligence.”
At this point, the so-called joint press conference was officially opened.
Lao Huang directly announced the names of nearly ten companies including Google, Microsoft, Apple, Meta, OpenAI, StabilityAI, Boston Dynamics, and officially announced that they will build an AI joint laboratory called “Athena” to accelerate the development of the field of artificial intelligence.
Let Lao Huang announce this heavy news. Obviously, everyone recognizes NVIDIA’s leading position and the core role and status of GPUs with a large amount of floating-point computing power in the field of artificial intelligence.
Then one company after another came on stage to show their research results in the field of AI, as well as the sub-sectors that they will be responsible for in the future as members of the Athena Laboratory.
This part Kang Chi directly fast-forwarded and simply went through it with the progress bar, until Boston Dynamics, which made him pause for a moment.
Speaking of this company that makes robot dogs, it is actually quite interesting.
This technology company founded on MIT is an extremely subjective R&D company. They do R&D without considering the market and reality at all.
From its establishment in 1992 to 2005, it took them 13 years to come up with their first product, Bigdog.
With this KPI, if it were another company, it would have closed down long ago…
