Chapter 131 Turing Test
The Turing Test, a thought experiment proposed by Alan Turing, known as the "father of computing," aims to test whether machines can exhibit intelligence equivalent to or indistinguishable from that of humans.
Simply put, it's about determining whether the artificial intelligence possesses human-like thinking and intelligence.
The experimental method is also very simple. Imagine that you are participating in a blind chat game. In this game, you are blindfolded and have a conversation with two chat partners through a wall. One is a real person, and the other is a very intelligent chatbot. Your task is to determine which one is a human and which one is a robot simply by listening to the conversation.
The little radish head just now felt like a real person to Xie Junfei.
If Xie Junfei had spoken to Robert without knowing his true identity, he might not have discovered that it was just a "companion robot" still under development.
It's just horrible.
The elevator arrived at the floor where the general manager's office was located, and Xie Wenzhou was waiting at the door.
The elevator doors opened, but no one got out.
Xie Junfei looked up and asked the question that had been on her mind:
Did Robert pass the Turing test?
The person in charge glanced at Xie Wenzhou and smiled without saying a word.
Xie Junfei took two steps back, her eyes widening slightly in disbelief:
"You—you actually used something that could drive an industrial revolution and change the world to make a tiny 'chatting machine'!"
"This is an absolute waste! An absolute waste!"
Xie Junfei jumped out of the elevator, grabbed her older brother's collar, and shook him violently.
"Did you hear what I said? Huh?"
She swore that even when she was kicked out of the Qin family and almost lost her schooling, she maintained basic composure and elegance, but now she simply couldn't hold back anymore.
This is a historic breakthrough!
Unlike those "AI robots" that only mechanically piece together human achievements, this is genuine artificial intelligence with independent thought!
They have created "life"!
Thinking of this, Xie Junfei shook Xie Wenzhou frantically, as if trying to shake the water out of his brain:
"Financial market forecasting, biomedicine, extraterrestrial exploration—aren't those all more promising than being a chat companion?! How could you be so...so..."
She was so emotional that her mind went completely blank, and she couldn't think of a suitable word to describe it. The person in charge standing to the side kindly helped her:
So short-sighted!
"Yes! Short-sighted!" Xie Junfei nodded fiercely. "How could you be so short-sighted!"
Xie Wenzhou raised his hands, a helpless expression on his face:
"Little sister, calm down. With Robert's current abilities, he's far from meeting the standards to pass the Turing test."
"It's only a semi-finished product right now, and it still needs a long time to learn and upgrade."
Xie Junfei looked at Xie Wenzhou suspiciously, trying to glean some extra information from his face, but to little avail.
Lacking the expertise in these areas, she could only reluctantly loosen her grip on her older brother's collar.
"Then what were you pretending to be all mysterious about just now?"
Xie Junfei let go so everyone could continue walking. The three sat in the president's office. Xie Junfei took a sip of the hot tea handed to him by the R&D director, who was also the head of the R&D department. After thinking for a moment, he carefully spoke:
"So, you want to use 'companion robots' to collect user data to help Carrot Head upgrade its 3.0 version?"
Xie Wenzhou nodded:
"That's right, Robert's 2.0 upgrade has been completely completed by the team. It now possesses human emotions and ways of thinking, feelings, empathy, and so on."
"But the team's strength is still weak. The 3.0 part needs to collect more human behavior data for analysis, and then the team will summarize it to assist Robert in a complete 'transformation and reshaping' so that he can become a real 'human'."
Xie Junfei frowned slightly:
"No, we can't do that."
"A while ago, a tech company in the United States received a huge fine for violating user privacy data."
“Your current actions involve data compliance and are extremely risky. If discovered, you will definitely face legal action.”
"Moreover, once we develop an AI like Robert that can disrupt the previous industrial structure, its development is no longer up to us from the moment it was born."
She strongly disagrees with the proposal Xie Wenzhou just put forward.
Imagine if you were a person suffering from depression, and you spent a lot of money to buy a caring companion robot, and from then on you poured out your pain to it every day, and it patiently comforted you.
Then one day, the company that developed the robot suddenly said that they had discovered something valuable from your daily conversations and made it public. Anyone would be furious!
Using my suffering as your research subject and a tool for your profit without my knowledge is a blatant violation of human rights! And it's also completely illegal!
However, rationally speaking, Xie Junfei knew that if he could ensure data compliance, exploit legal loopholes, and thoroughly develop Radish Head 3.0, then Xie's stock price would inevitably experience exponential growth, and Radish Head would become an artificial intelligence that would completely drive an industrial revolution.
To be or not to be, that is the question.
Money or morality, to be or not to be.
She never imagined that she would encounter such a problem at the age of eighteen.
Xie Junfei had a slight headache and gently rubbed his temples.
She knew why Xie Wenzhou had called her here.
She is currently the largest shareholder of the Xie family, and the decision-making power for matters concerning the future of the Xie family rests with her.
The CEO's office fell completely silent. In the warm spring of March, the mimosa trees outside the window had already sprouted buds, their lush greenery reflected on the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Xie Junfei got up and opened the window.
A warm breeze blew into the room, and she gently closed her eyes, quietly feeling the touch of nature.
Robert, led inside by the R&D assistant, was singing for Xie Wenzhou and the R&D director.
Xie Junfei listened quietly for half an hour.
Half an hour later, she turned around and met the gaze of Radish Head, who was tilting his head and looking at her.
After a while, Little Radish Head slid down to her side, looked up and asked her:
"Sister Junfei, you seem to be facing a big problem. Do you need Robert's help to solve it?"
Xie Junfei gently shook his head, half-squatted down, and stroked its head with his hand.
Robert seemed to really enjoy the touch, and the expression on the screen changed from "(???.???)????" to "???????".
Humans need love, and AI, which is still a baby, needs it just as much.
Just as she was about to say something, the R&D assistant pushed open the door and beckoned Robert over:
"Come on, little radish, you need to charge your charger. Come upstairs with me."
Upon hearing this, Robert immediately slid over to the R&D assistant with great joy, singing a song as he did so:
"La la la, dinner's ready! Goodbye, Sister Junfei, Brother Wenzhou, Teacher An'an! I'm leaving, bye-bye!"
