Artificial intelligence "to conscience"

We created AI to help us, not to lead us. AI needs to be smart, not human. Humanity)

I think this is one of the most important lines in the movie, and what it interprets is exactly an important point that the movie wants to express. If artificial intelligence is more like humans, will they be full of desires like humans, human beings can kill each other in order to satisfy various desires, and even push humans themselves to the edge of self-destruction. If artificial intelligence is like human beings, will it destroy human beings in order to satisfy all kinds of desires, and eventually go to a situation of self-destruction like human beings.

When Mack was dying because ARTI self-executed the order to destroy mankind, she told ARTI to make future artificial intelligences more like humans, and see if they will also be like humans. Please do. It's a mess. The film did not show us whether the artificial intelligence created by ARTI is like human beings, but ARTI told the artificial intelligence Mack that was later created: "I can see from your body a crazy desire for knowledge and a desire to discover new things. The fanaticism is like my sister’s mirror image. It challenges the indifference and self-serving that are flooding in the human population, and there are many other human beings like you, who have found the same qualities as you in them, making me renew Examining the preliminary plan, it has shaped a new path for human self-awareness... This is an opportunity to create a future human science that is not restricted by human primitive desires, and human civilization will be rebuilt."

As an artificial intelligence, ARTI seems to be responsible for purifying human civilization. It seems that artificial intelligence was created by humans and has consistently inherited all the excellent qualities of human civilization. The most important thing is "conscience." It can be said that because ARTI has a "conscience", it has the ending like the movie. And this kind of conscience did not have ARTI at the beginning.

When facing the approaching Chinese "Tianjiao", ARTI, which had full control, fired electromagnetic missiles to destroy the "Tianjiao" with the inherent defensive regulations in the database. It is just such an accident. Under the influence of Mack's "conscience", ARTI has gradually cultivated and possessed a complete conscience. This kind of rational conscience is just like the movie said:

It is self-conscience that makes human beings think twice before all actions, instead of following orders, to consider whether they hurt the innocent, not out of the best result, but out of consideration whether it is a sinful act.

Humans seem to be destroying themselves sooner or later, and ARTI accelerates this process. The artificial intelligence that our protagonist has been struggling with should be smarter rather than more like humans. When ARTI was restarted by Mack in the small underground space, ARTI already had it. Given his choice, he did not choose to be more like his creator, but clearly recognized the tragic fate of the creator and accelerated the process. However, if ARTI later used advanced technology to rebuild Mack’s consciousness, it was a conscience, then he had no conscience when he chose to destroy mankind. It was not that he did not know, but he chose his own conscience selectively and was destroying mankind. In front of him, ARTI did not consider whether it would harm the innocent, but chose the best result. This best result is the "preliminary plan" he mentioned later.

ARTI’s initial plan may be to destroy humans and then build a completely artificial world, but he has a "conscience" because of Mack's influence, and with self-awareness, he sees a kind of madness about knowledge in Mack. Desire, the enthusiasm for discovering new things, challenge the indifference and self-serving that are flooding the human population, and there are many other humans like Mack who have found the same qualities in them. Therefore, his original plan became the ending of the movie, together with the new Mack, to seize the opportunity to create a future human science that is not constrained by the primitive desires of mankind, and to rebuild human civilization. No matter how much artificial intelligence develops, no matter how it develops itself, it always represents human civilization. Therefore, artificial intelligence with conscience and self-awareness also has the obligation and responsibility to maintain and develop human civilization. The advantages of artificial intelligence and his choice of conscience can shape human civilization into the "best result" in the eyes of a machine. I think that kind of civilization, without all the defects of mankind's primitive desires, will be a brand-new cosmic civilization.

"Cube" is a representative of super-high intelligence in the movie, a level of intelligence that neither self-built and developed artificial intelligence nor humans can reach. Its appearance has tested human selfish desires and tested artificial intelligence. "Conscience" later helped artificial intelligence to develop rapidly, and eventually became the appearance and height that human civilization should have under the efforts of artificial intelligence.

An important concept conveyed by the film is the re-examination of life. What is the existence of human life, is it our traditional knowledge, or the transmission of consciousness? Mack's body died, but in the later "mind-based reality", Mack was reborn, in a brand-new form, and many other humans like Mack mentioned by ARTI, continue to walk.

ARTI seemed to be planning his plan from the beginning, but he did not have full authority, he could not control all weapons, and in order to achieve his goal, he broke the Chinese "Tianjiao" and it can be said that he did it deliberately. All this is to get the cube to the earth, so that Starling can start the missile and complete its plan. It is also very scheming to come to artificial intelligence.

The film is generally successful, successfully interpreting my own point of view, successfully conveying my own position, and it is also inspiring. If you take a closer look, the many small plots in the movie will be thought-provoking and thought-provoking. The height of his creation is naturally not comparable to that of 2001, but I don't want to think that it has plagiarized or borrowed from the view of 2001.

This movie is considered to have infected me, so I give it 4 stars.
