Will robots and AI ＂fall in love＂ and ＂the era of coexistence between man and machine＂ come？

　　Xinhua News Agency, Shanghai, November 5 (Reporter Beebee Cheng) Recently, several major events have deeply touched intelligent robot experts from all over the world.

　　At the end of last month, a robot named Sophia was granted citizenship in Saudi Arabia, becoming the first robot citizen in the world.

　　Prior to this, Google’s DeepMind team launched "AlphaGo Zero". From a blank state, it quickly taught itself Go, successfully crushed the "predecessor" Master who had previously defeated human masters, and became the amazing "strongest version of AlphaGo".

　　"Machine" began to evolve into "man"? What subversive development has artificial intelligence brought to robots? On November 5 th, this caused a heated discussion at the "2017 Shanghai International Robot Innovation Forum" co-sponsored by Shanghai Science and Technology Achievements Transformation Promotion Association and Shanghai Robot Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance.

　　How "scary" are robots?

　　"Now with the rapid development of deep learning technology, the ‘ Brain ’ Qi Wang, executive vice president of Shanghai Association for the Promotion of Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements, pointed out that robots include ordinary robots and artificial intelligence robots. The main difference between them is that ordinary robots have no self-learning ability, while intelligent robots have self-learning ability.

　　Sun Fuchun, a professor at the Department of Computer Science and Technology in Tsinghua University, said that AlphaGo Zero’s three days (only three days for self-training) has exceeded thousands of years of human beings, which makes people wonder whether human beings have taken the first step of being enslaved by machines.

　　Sun Fuchun believes that artificial intelligence will lead to great changes in the industrial structure in the future, and some industries may disappear and new industries will be born.

　　"Is there a third apple in the world? The first apple was eaten by Adam and Eve, the second apple was smashed on Newton’s head, and the third apple was the poisonous apple eaten by Turing. "He said that in the past, the relationship between man and machine was one-way, and the machine in the future had the ability of cognition, perception and judgment. At that time, the relationship between man and machine was two-way, and robots could do many things instead of people.

　　Robots are actually "stupid"

　　British mathematician alan mathison turing, the "father of artificial intelligence", put forward a test method for judging whether machines are intelligent or not in 1950, that is, Turing test.

　　"Simple problems are very difficult for machines to do," Sun Fuchun pointed out. According to Moravic’s paradox, it is relatively easy to make computers play chess like adults, but it is quite difficult or even impossible to make computers feel and act like one-year-old children.

　　Meng Qinghu, director of the Department of Electronic Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, also poured cold water on "intelligent robots". He said that AlphaGo made people worry that robots might kill humans. "However, robots can play chess, but only play chess."

　　"For example, let it come to a Turing test, which is definitely better than people. Turing test, you can ask anything from all over the world, which is the difficulty; Robots can do it by focusing on a very narrow field, but not if they are released, "Meng Qinghu said.

　　He pointed out that once it is liberalized to multi-dimensions, artificial intelligence will become very fragile. "For example, when we speak, the same sentence ‘ He is excellent ’ , if replaced by (interrogative tone) ‘ He’s excellent? ’ We can feel it right away, but robots can’t. "

　　Where is the "love" road between robots and AI?

　　Qu Daokui, president of Shenyang Xinsong Robot Automation Co., Ltd. believes that with the addition of artificial intelligence, the development of robots has entered a new stage, and the "robot 2.0 era" has arrived. Different from the traditional concept of robots, intelligent robots are more and more closely related to human life, health, culture, education and so on.

　　He believes that the development of robots is at a turning point in the evolution from machines to people. "Robots and AI (artificial intelligence) have just started dating and promoting each other, but they still need to go a long way to get married." (End)
