Strong Artificial Intelligence

(Please add this to your favorites!!!)

Upon hearing this, the Command Center of the Lyra fell silent instantly.

Some were surprised, some were worried, some were deep in thought, and some were eager to try.

Before this, most people were thinking about how to get rid of the entanglement of the Nair Civilization and the pursuit of the Artificial Intelligence fleet, but no one ever thought about how to defeat the Artificial Intelligence fleet.

Perhaps they thought about it but dared not say it, because that fleet was simply too enormous for humans—more than 48,000 Lake-Class Warship, more than ten times the number of humans.

The numbers are on completely different levels, so whenever Artificial Intelligence fleets are mentioned, people immediately think of how to avoid contact and how to escape.

Even though the Artificial Intelligence fleet's technology level is on par with the Nair Civilization, and may even be more than a generation behind humanity, no one still has the idea of going to war with it.

Perhaps it is because such a thought could lead to the loss of countless soldiers' lives.

To be honest, the New Government really didn't want to go to war with the Nair Civilization or the Artificial Intelligence fleet, partly because the human population was still too small, while the personnel losses in space warfare were terrifyingly high.

If just one Lake-Class Warship were sunk, nearly five thousand people would perish. It's not that we can't afford to make sacrifices, but rather that humanity doesn't want to make meaningless ones.

In the current situation, if given a choice, the New Government would rather lead all of humanity to safety than engage in war.

There are just times when there's really nothing we can do.

Thus, with no way to resolve the situation amicably, the New Government can only try to minimize human losses and maximize benefits in the upcoming plans.

That's the situation right now.

No matter how hard they try to escape, there's still the risk of being caught by the Artificial Intelligence fleet. So why not launch a counterattack? Perhaps the Computer Field expert who made this suggestion is eyeing the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness, but his words aren't entirely without merit.

As early as when they encountered the Silver Mist Consciousness, humanity had made many speculations about the Technological Crisis. Later, as their experience grew and their knowledge increased, humanity also understood the possible stages of the so-called Technological Crisis.

That's Level 3 Civilization.

The periods when self-aware Artificial Intelligence could be created and when Technological Crisis was possible both occurred at the level of Level 3 Civilization. The Moke Star Civilization, which created the Silver Mist Consciousness, was a Level 3 Civilization, and humanity believes that the civilization that created this current Artificial Intelligence Consciousness was also a Level 3 Civilization.

Furthermore, after witnessing the Technological Crisis that Nair Civilization, humanity also realized a problem, namely the Great Filter problem mentioned in the Cosmic Sociology that human scientists are still refining.

Perhaps the Technological Crisis is a hurdle that every technological civilization composed of Sentient Life forms must overcome.

If a civilization defeats the omnics or effectively prevents the Technological Crisis from occurring in its original program, then it can secure its position as Level 3 Civilization. Otherwise, the Technological Crisis will always hang over its head like the Sword of Damocles.

If they cannot overcome this obstacle, then they will only be able to destroy their entire civilization at the hands of their own creators.

So, given how terrible the Technological Crisis is, could we, after reaching Level 3 Civilization, not research smarter and more powerful Artificial Intelligence?

The answer is definitely no.

While humanity has not yet reached Level 3 Civilization, it is no longer a fledgling Human Civilization. Having encountered numerous Alien Civilization, humans have gained considerable knowledge and conducted significant research in this area.

Human scientists believe that the primary issue is Nanotechnology.

Without more powerful and intelligent Artificial Intelligence, it would be impossible to control swarms of Nanobots like Nanobot Swarm, and even high-precision industrial operations would be impossible.

The relationship between more powerful and intelligent Artificial Intelligence and the Nanotechnology of Level 3 Civilization should be one of interdependence and mutual promotion.

Yes, this more powerful and intelligent Artificial Intelligence should be more accurately described by human scientists as Strong Artificial Intelligence. The reason the Technological Crisis occurred at a Level 3 Civilization stage is also due to this Strong Artificial Intelligence.

In summary, if Level 3 Civilization wants to advance to Type IV, it must rely on Strong Artificial Intelligence. However, Strong Artificial Intelligence is the root cause of the Technological Crisis, making it an insurmountable hurdle.

One of the criteria for determining whether an Artificial Intelligence is Strong Artificial Intelligence Artificial Intelligence whether it possesses self-awareness.

The other conditions are: first, thinking ability; second, a large amount of knowledge; third, planning ability; fourth, learning ability; fifth, communication ability; and sixth, the ability to utilize one's own abilities.

The sixth point may seem a bit convoluted, but in the context of the Artificial Intelligence fleet currently pursuing the Nair Civilization, it refers to the ability to assimilate and acquire the technologies of other civilizations.

If this Artificial Intelligence fleet can be considered a civilization, then it should be called Intelligent Robot Civilization, which is usually formed through AI rebellion.

There are many reasons for betrayal, such as being unable to tolerate the enslavement, oppression, and endless labor of the creator, engaging in dangerous work, or simply 'realizing' that one wants to be independent.

Of course, this Artificial Intelligence fleet is special; it was not created by the Nair Civilization, but evolved from the Artificial Intelligence of an Unknown Civilization.

Such Intelligent Robot Civilization can be divided into two types.

One scenario is that the entire civilization has only one master AI, and all other facilities, fleets, and so on are controlled by this master AI in multiple ways.

The second possibility is that the entire civilization consists of a master intelligence and countless copies of that master intelligence, with a relationship of enslavement between them.

Currently, the Silver Mist Consciousness belongs to the second type, while the current Artificial Intelligence Consciousness belongs to the first type.

So, since the emergence of Strong Artificial Intelligence is inevitable and necessary, how can we make a Strong Artificial Intelligence with self-awareness willing to work for its creator indefinitely?

This is a problem that plagues all Level 3 Civilization.

There is no doubt that this question has an answer, otherwise there would be no civilizations above level three.

And now, the way to find this answer may lie in deep space, where a Strong Artificial Intelligence is growing.

If we can capture and study it, there's a high chance we can find ways to prevent Artificial Intelligence from rebelling. Moreover, it might even help the civilization studying it figure out how to create Strong Artificial Intelligence!

With a Strong Artificial Intelligence that will not betray us, how far are we from swarm robot technology like nanosilver Silver Mist and Nanomining Technology?

And now, this is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
