"Mr. Luo, I don't understand the introduction of the virtual nervous system of artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence is just an intelligent program based on silicon elements, why add the complex engineering of virtual nervous system?

In that case, wouldn't it further complicate the already difficult AI program? Ji Ran asked with some incomprehension.

Mr. Luo was very satisfied with Ji Ran's question, which showed that Ji Ran had begun to seriously study this new content, and the virtual nervous system of artificial intelligence was the main topic of his research.

"To answer your question, let's start with the origin of intelligence, when do you think humans evolved from the earliest single-celled animals to the present day, when did they really become self-aware?" Teacher Luo looked at Ji Ran and asked.

"Hmm... I think it was millions of years ago when ancient humans first saw their own reflections in the water, right? Ji Ran thought about it and said his speculation.

Well, that's a good answer, although life has been multiplying on the earth for hundreds of millions of years, but when individuals really became self-conscious, it was millions of years ago, that is, hundreds of millions of years for life to evolve, that is, life evolved for hundreds of millions of years before self-aware creatures were produced.

When do you think humans became wise? Teacher Luo asked again.

"Probably hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years ago, when ancient humans began to hunt collectively and made early stone tools, right?" Ji Ran thought for a while and said.

"Well, there is also fire, and the use of fire in nature is also one of the important signs of the wisdom of ancient humans." Teacher Luo nodded with a smile and continued to add.

"Hmm." Ji Ran nodded in agreement.

"It has taken millions of years for human beings to go from the initial recognition of their own existence to the early wisdom, knowing how to cooperate with each other, making tools, and using fire, do you think artificial intelligence will be able to produce self-awareness and intelligence in just a few decades?" Teacher Luo looked at Ji Ran and asked.

Ji Ran thought about it and felt a little strange, according to what Mr. Luo meant, it was obvious that he did not agree that artificial intelligence would be produced in the next few decades, but the current world was telling her a contrary answer, not only artificial intelligence has already come, but also all aspects of life are inseparable from artificial intelligence.

For example, unmanned artificial intelligence cars, unmanned artificial intelligence small planes, as well as various transportation networks, various communication systems, and even almost 99% of the current news are edited and published by artificial intelligence robots.

Teacher Luo looked at Ji Ran's puzzled expression, seemed to guess her thoughts, and explained with a smile: "Although it seems that artificial intelligence is all over our lives now, it is not artificial intelligence in the real sense, it is just a basic function of artificial intelligence - deep learning ability, whether it is an unmanned intelligent car, or an intelligent editor who compiles news every day, it is just a functional deep learning."

These so-called intelligent robots can only complete one task individually, and cannot combine tasks of different natures to complete.

For example, the task of editing news cannot be accomplished by an intelligent program on an AI car, and it is also impossible to have an intelligent program that compiles news to control a smart car.

In other words, each artificial intelligence seems to have the ability to think similar to that of humans, but in fact, it is just a special manifestation of the need for functionalization, not that the machine really has the ability to think, let alone the consciousness of self-awakening.

If we look at it from the perspective of biological evolution, the current artificial intelligence is only equivalent to the trilobites 200 million years ago, they can only receive information from the two-dimensional world, they can't perceive the three-dimensional things in the three-dimensional world, they can only process things according to the instinct given by human beings, they have no perception, no taste, no self-awareness, just doing things according to different procedures. Teacher Luo patiently explained to Ji Ran.

Ji Ran seems to understand something, Mr. Luo feels that the current artificial intelligence is just a product of deep learning, not a real intelligence with self-awareness, just like a shell with only bones and muscles, no neural network, if you want to make this life really alive, then you have to build a nervous system for it.

"Is the teacher saying that artificial intelligence also needs neural networks?" Ji Ran looked at Teacher Luo for verification.

"Well, the reason why human beings have self-consciousness is the miraculous effect of the nervous system, when human beings are injured, the nervous system will produce pain in the injured part, so that we can avoid the harm in time, so that we can survive in the fierce competition of natural selection.

Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is the instinct of biological survival.

Under the continuous evolution of this instinct, we have developed a true sense of self-consciousness, which constantly tells us in a painful way that we are an independent individual, we must exist, away from harm and death, and it is precisely under this consciousness and instinct that we have evolved in the cruel natural world until now.

Now, artificial intelligence does not have a neural network, and there is no instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so they cannot realize that they are an independent individual, and only after establishing a real nervous system for them, they may truly awaken and become artificial intelligence in the real sense. Teacher Luo explained with a smile.

"But what if artificial intelligence does awaken, if they want to replace humans? We're not as smart as them, and we're nowhere near as fast as they are evolving. If they were self-conscious, wouldn't they be able to wipe out humanity in minutes? Ji Ran asked worriedly.

Now almost all artificial intelligence lives in the world of the Internet of Things, if there is an artificial intelligence robot suddenly awakened, wouldn't it be an instant to make all the artificial intelligence in the world awaken?

As long as the memory is large enough to fit the awakening program, in the blink of an eye, the artificial intelligence of the entire world will probably turn against it in an instant.

If highly developed artificial intelligence thinks that human beings only consume resources and have no value in existence, will they make the most rational decision to wipe humans out of the world?

It's not impossible...
