Talking about artificial intelligence and talented women in Tsinghua: This is the introduction I am most worried about.

The seemingly high-tech terms such as "artificial intelligence", "Internet of Things" and "cloud computing", which frequently explode the circle of friends, are entering the homes of ordinary people.

In the era driven by artificial intelligence, there may be many people's ideas, just as Window to the South wrote: "It is naive to imagine the future today." .

However, in the era of artificial intelligence, we also have deep worries. Today, we strongly recommend the speech "Artificial Intelligence Can't Replace Man" by Liu Huining, a talented woman in Tsinghua.

Liu Huining received a double master's degree in literature and engineering, and he has both the romance of literati and the rationality of engineering.

Her speech has a novel perspective and is thought-provoking, which is worth savoring.

Artificial intelligence can't replace people.

Huining Liu

A while ago, Alpha Dog defeated the world-class Go master, and Saudi Arabia awarded a citizen certificate to a robot. It seems that you are walking in the street now, and it seems that you have never been to school without saying a few words about artificial intelligence, so today, I will also tell you something about artificial intelligence.

- 0 1 -

The master's subject is natural language processing, which is a branch of artificial intelligence. What we have to do is to input all the data, words and literary works in the past 20 years into the computer, so that it can calculate and learn how human beings use metaphors.

For another example, Alpha Dog beat the world-class Go master because it has two brains, one is responsible for the overall situation and the other is responsible for the local analysis. When the calculation weights of two brains are equal, the decision it makes is the moment when it finally falls down.

So everyone knows that the core of artificial intelligence thinking lies in calculation.

I don't know if you feel deja vu when you see the accurate calculation of the machine. Do you think people sometimes look like machines?

For example, I am particularly anxious. I like to process a lot of information quickly, and I especially hate others' verbosity.

But unfortunately, my mother is very verbose and especially likes to send voice, so you take out your mobile phone. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, twenty, her voice is all over the screen. If you don't turn it on, you'll never know what she's talking about.

Once, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I said, "Mom, will you stop talking? You send a message. You are so slow, it will delay my time. "

In this way, I changed from a person to a machine for processing information quickly, because I took my mother's voice as information, input it into my brain and analyzed the results. I hope she entered words instead of voice, because I can recognize them better.

But what I didn't analyze was that my mother made a sound because her eyes were not as good as before. She sits alone on the sofa at night facing this shiny little screen, and her eyes will be very uncomfortable when typing.

What I didn't analyze was that my mother made a noise because she didn't want to send you any instructions. She just wants to talk to you because you haven't been home for a long time.

What I didn't analyze is that every time I process information as quickly as a precision machine, I am actually widening the distance between me and her.

What I didn't analyze was that from the day we were born, each of us began to say goodbye to each of your mothers: cutting the umbilical cord and completing the first farewell; Breastfeeding, complete the second farewell.

Since then, every time I study, my vision has been broadened, which has widened the distance of this farewell. You stand far away, turn around and wave to her and say:

"Mom, I'm here. I have a bigger stage, more beautiful scenery, more friends and busier work, and you, you are too slow, you are behind, and you affect the efficiency of the whole team. "

But do you remember that when we were very young, we didn't know how to walk? What's your saying?

You said, "Mom and Dad are waiting for me."

At that time, mom and dad sacrificed the efficiency of processing information and stood waiting for you. Later, you grew up day by day and ran fast day by day. Now you remember to improve efficiency. You said: "We are in the information age, we pay attention to efficiency, and we don't want to be slow."

I believe there must be no such indifferent artificial intelligence in the world. If there is, I would rather live in the most primitive times. Everyone has no concept of information and efficiency, but only knows how to feel emotions with heart.

I can listen to her more than 20 voices, and I don't have to face the phone, otherwise what's the difference between a person and a machine?

This is a story that happened in a small family. Now I want to tell a story that happened to everyone and this country.

One of my brothers, Tsinghua, signed up for the army in the autumn of his junior year and became a soldier. And his choice is not just to become a soldier, but to become a sentry at the highest post in China.

What is the highest? Biologists define it as a restricted area above 4500 meters above sea level. His post is 53 18 meters above sea level, and nothing grows. Over the past 40 years since the establishment of this post, more than a dozen officers and men have been buried in this snowy land.

Family and friends are crazy, saying that you have done so many multiple-choice questions in your life. Why do you have to give such an answer in your life choice? Why do you want to be a sentry when you graduate from a prestigious school and enter a famous enterprise?

He only said a word, and no one asked him why he stopped him. He said:

"Do you know that China is the only place in the world where the land border has not been solved? I just want to stand in front of my house, guard my national flag and watch it stand there steadily. "

When artificial intelligence makes a choice, it is based on calculation. They imitate people with their super computing power and memory, but they are people, and people's choices are difficult to imitate and calculate.

In the early days of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, there were such a group of people in our country.

Some of them graduated from Tsinghua, some were aristocratic children, and some were returned overseas Chinese. In today's words, their face value is quite high. It is such a group of handsome guys who made the same decision:

They were collectively buried in the blue sky filled with smoke, leaving a life with an average age of only 23 years old in one fighter plane.

One of them is Liu Cuigang. Liu Cuigang said to her beloved girl, "Our life cannot be calculated and planned. I love you, but I dare not love you, because I want to be ready to die with the enemy at any time. "

In wartime, only by daring to cut off your own future can you leave a future for your loved ones. This reminds me of that poem, which is called: life is precious, love is more expensive, if it is freedom, you can throw both.

Before dying, Liu Cuigang said to his wife who had just been married for a year: "If one day I die for my country, I will only do my duty, but you must think with the cleverest brain and reason, and don't sacrifice yourself for me."

Do you think he is stupid? He knows everything. He is extremely clever, but such a clever boy chooses to make such a "stupid" decision with his teammates.

They know that there are many Japanese planes and new ones emerge one after another. They know that they are weak and outnumbered. They know that this is a road of no return, and there is no return, but they still choose to make that kind of suicide flight mode in times of crisis-direct collision and mutual destruction.

Because they have an oath, called to serve the country to the death and never die.

You think they don't know how to calculate? They don't know artificial intelligence. He has calculated it, and this is his formula. He believes that one person's life is exchanged for more people's lives and the hope of the country and the nation in the future. He thinks this algorithm is more valuable.

I am an engineering student, and all the thinking of artificial intelligence is based on calculation, but we know that the variance of artificial intelligence will be smaller than that of human calculation because it is smarter and more accurate.

But you should know that the concept of variance is judged by assignment. There are too many things in this world that cannot be quantified, let alone assigned values.

Sometimes, human's choice will be based on calculation, but more often it will be out of heart, out of love for the country, out of faith in the nation and out of a basic instinct.

People's choices are complicated. We sometimes make mistakes, miscalculate, fall in love, fail and do many stupid things, but we also choose to sacrifice ourselves, which will make more people happy. This is our human choice.

For example, Mr. Deng Jiaxian abandoned the generous treatment of foreign scientific research, for example, Mr. Liang Sicheng and Mr. Lin founded the first department of architecture in China, and for example, I just said that an air force soldier ended his 23-year-old life in the blue sky.

Every one of them knows how to calculate, but it is precisely their incalculable choice that has made the development of today's country and nation, promoted the process of history, and made everyone present truly free and happy.

I still believe that artificial intelligence will never replace people, whether in our small family or everyone in the country, every technological progress in the application field will better optimize our lives.

But I'm worried that we will never become machines, because those who love our country, believe in our nation and stick to every original heart are the fundamental reasons why we become people instead of machines.

Thank you all.
