"The company’s new technology is about AI, artificial intelligence."
"Artificial intelligence?" Su Chen’s interest was piqued. After all, as a master hacker, he was well aware of how extensive the applications of AI were.
AI is generally divided into three levels: weak AI, strong AI, and super AI.
The most widely used type at present is weak AI. Things like modern smartphones, smart homes, and self-driving cars all fall under its purview.
It operates by optimizing algorithms and models to continuously improve processing efficiency and accuracy in specific domains. To put it bluntly, it’s born from massive amounts of data and remains under human control in terms of intelligence.
A strong AI system, on the other hand, would be a paradigm shift. It would possess human-like learning and reasoning abilities, capable of understanding and handling all sorts of complex problems, not just those confined to a specific field.
It would continuously improve its own intelligence level by learning new knowledge, much like how we go through school, from elementary to university.
Of course, the technical difficulty of achieving this is immense. It’s far beyond our current technological capabilities.
If you need a reference point, think of the robots in "I, Robot." That would be the level of strong AI.
As for the final level, super AI, that’s purely theoretical. It would be something like the Matrix from "The Matrix," where the line between virtual and reality blurs at its whim.
"Yes! We’ve made a monumental leap in our AI research. As of now, you could say it’s the most advanced artificial intelligence technology in the world!" Mark’s face beamed with pride as he said this.
"You broke through from weak AI to strong AI?" Su Chen’s pupils contracted. He set down his glass of juice, a hint of excitement in his voice.
"Er..." Hearing this, Mark was instantly deflated.
"Mr. Su, we’re still quite a ways from strong AI. But it’s definitely the most cutting-edge weak AI there is!"
Thankfully, it was still weak AI. If they had truly broken through to strong AI, one feared Mark’s small frame wouldn’t have been able to handle the consequences.
The day a new technology like that was announced, Mark would likely disappear without a trace, or perhaps suffer some sort of very "plausible" fatal accident.
Su Chen nodded slightly at his words. But he was curious. ’Even if it’s just weak AI, it’s still the world’s most advanced technology. Why is Morgan the only party at the table?’ He shot a sideways glance at Bird, who had remained silent beside him.
