My surname is Stark, who changed my job to become a female big gun?

Chapter 587 Sometimes People Need to Be Ahead of the times
Ultron was first proposed by Tony, Lenny and others when they were discussing the topic of artificial intelligence life.

Tony hopes to solve some of the world's toughest problems by building a powerful and intelligent artificial intelligence system.

Therefore, in his vision, Ultron should be a robot with a high degree of self-learning ability, who can process complex data, predict future trends, and even be able to repair and improve itself.

He hopes that Ultron can become a powerful assistant to mankind and help solve global problems such as environmental pollution, resource shortages, and rampant diseases.

We can even rely on it to predict disasters, optimize resource allocation, and help humans achieve more efficient technological development.

However, there is often an insurmountable gap between the purity of the idea and the complexity of actual implementation.

Due to the limitations of current technological levels, even Tony, who has made great achievements in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) computing and processing, can only regard it as a feasible idea before this.

The actual development work for this concept has always been only in the follow-up upgrade and update plan for the original artificial intelligence butler Jarvis.

According to Tony's expectation, it would be difficult to fully create this idealized Ultron without ten or eight years of precipitation and polishing.

Until he discovered the difference in the scepter in front of him.

“Sir, it’s very special, and there are many ingredients in it that I can’t quantify.”

Jarvis' voice sounded in Tony's ears, with a hint of surprise.

Tony stood in the center of the laboratory, staring at the mysterious scepter.

"Then let's talk about what we can figure out."

"The gem seems to be a protective shell, and inside it is something strange, something with a very powerful energy level."

Tony crossed his arms, his eyes sparkling with curiosity and excitement.

"Like a reactor?"

“More like a computer.”

……

"So it gave you the idea to continue improving Ultron?"

Lainie looked at the dark blue holographic model in front of her that was generated with the help of Jarvis, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little cold.

What appeared before Lainie and the other two was a gigantic blue holographic data cluster. Judging from the size of the holographic model alone, its volume was more than three times that of the data star Jarvis.

And it is different from any data group model that everyone has seen before. In Dr. Banner's words, it looks like a huge blue brain.

Its surface is covered with intricate neural networks, which seem to be constantly receiving and processing the information it can receive.

In the center of the data cluster, a core area shines with light, surrounded by layers of neurons that are connected to each other, forming a tightly connected dark blue cloud.

Those extremely mysterious structures in the clouds are very similar to the synapses in the human brain. Sometimes they will expand slightly due to the access of information, and then shrink quickly.

And on the surface of the data group, there are some light spots flashing from time to time, just like the neurons in the brain receiving and transmitting information.

Sometimes there is a brief connection between these light spots, and then they are quickly disconnected, just like the brain making judgments and decisions quickly.

As time passed, the data mass seemed to analyze the information it received, and subtle changes began to appear on its surface.

Some neurons were strengthened, as if emphasizing certain important information, while others faded out, as if processing unimportant information.

It seems that this blue holographic data group is not just a visual image, it seems to be a living organism, a virtual life with characteristics similar to those of the human brain.

Dr. Banner watched the scene in amazement, his eyes flashing with curiosity and awe.

"This... This is simply a miracle. It is more complex and vivid than any data model we have imagined before. It is as if..."

Dr. Banner seemed to have not yet figured out what words to use to further describe it. After a long pause, he murmured:
"It's like it's thinking, like it has its own consciousness... and logic."

However, Lainie beside her had a frown on her face.

She knew very well what this thing actually was. Banner was right, it did have its own consciousness and logic.

And it's far more dangerous than Tony and Banner imagined.

Lainie's eyes were deep, as if she had seen through the light and shadow of the holographic data group and had already glimpsed the danger and darkness hidden behind it.

"Jarvis, can you interpret the specific function of this data group?"

Lainie asked Jarvis. Although she already had the answer in her mind, she still hoped to get more information from Jarvis.

Jarvis' voice sounded in everyone's ears, with a hint of doubt:
“I’m trying to analyze it, but the structure of this data group is extremely complex, and its internal calculation logic is far beyond my understanding.

From the information available, it appears to be a highly intelligent information processing center with the ability to self-learn and evolve.”

"See, what I said, it is perfect to use it as the artificial intelligence core of Ultron."

Tony interrupted excitedly, his eyes sparkling with anticipation and longing for the future.

However, Lainie remained unmoved, her frown deepening.

She is well aware that the threat hidden behind this "highly intelligent information processing center" is far beyond what can be simply summarized as "Ultron".

“What about its controllability?”

Lainie's tone was serious, her eyes fixed on the data ball in the holographic projection, as if she wanted to engrave every detail into her mind.

"Regarding controllability..."

Jarvis paused, clearly troubled by the question.

"I can't give a clear answer yet. This data group has the ability to self-learn and evolve, which means that its behavior is likely to be beyond our expectations and control..."

"But we can restrict its source code, or simply add a rule to limit its self-growth and learning within a limited range of rules. In this way, we can control those risks to a minimum, or even nip them in the bud."

Tony interrupted Jarvis's answer, his eyes flashing with desire and confidence for the unknown.

"Like the Three Laws of Robotics?"

Dr. Banner's eyes lit up, he had also read that classic work.

As a scientist, he knows that in the field of artificial intelligence, it is extremely important to set clear rules and limitations.

"exactly."

Tony nodded. "We can certainly draw on the 'Three Laws of Robotics,' or formulate more sophisticated rules based on our needs. After all, we have to ensure that this data group does not become a 'Pandora's Box' that we cannot control."

The so-called Three Laws of Robotics are three basic guiding rules for the ethics and behavior of artificial intelligence set out by science fiction writer Isaac Asimov in his book "I, Robot" in the 20s. The first law is that a robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

The second law is that a robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, unless such orders would conflict with the first law.

Finally, the third law states that a robot may protect its own existence as long as it does not conflict with the first two laws.

The emergence of these three laws has effectively provided important moral and ethical guidance for the development of the field of artificial intelligence.

Even Jarvis, the artificial intelligence butler developed by Tony, was designed and optimized in accordance with these three laws.

But these three laws alone are obviously not enough to completely restrict Ultron's self-learning and evolutionary development.

Lainie was even convinced that with the subjective initiative displayed by Ultron in the original timeline, it would be able to find loopholes in these three iron laws, or even simply bypass these three iron laws and directly achieve its goal.

Suddenly, Lainie began to miss a girl named Mia Richter.

"Oh, it would be nice if she were here."

You know, as an artificial intelligence life created by Melvin Richter, one of the seven gods of heaven, Mia knows much more in the field of artificial intelligence than Lainie.

If she could get her help, Lainie felt that Ultron's problems would be easy to solve.

However, this is just a luxury after all. No matter how powerful the system is, Lainie feels that it cannot really summon the amiable little girl into this world.

"Tell me, if my second sister were here, would she have any good ideas?"

Suddenly, this suggestion came to Lainie's mind.

Then Lainie couldn't help but sit up straight, and said to herself, yes, isn't my second sister also in this world!
Compared to the later Elytra of the Seven Gods, this woman was one of the more heavyweight Seven Mechanical War Gods. Her attainments in the field of mechanical technology were definitely no less than those of Melvin.

What's more, the second sister is a top puppeteer herself, and the puppet bard Alice she created is almost indistinguishable from an ordinary person.

If I could get her help...

Just when she thought of this, Lainie couldn't help but frown again.

Not to mention that Leni and her second sister...that is, Meister Heide, have not heard any news about each other since they last parted in Svartalfheim, and have no idea where she is now.

Even if she could contact the other party at this moment, Lainie estimated that based on her second sister's personality, she would not agree to help her and others create an artificial intelligence life like Ultron that was several times uncontrollable.

You know, in the past, the second sister personally issued an order in the demon world to completely ban all magic scholars from creating artificial life forms such as "Homonkulus".

Even though those "weird creatures" later completed "Homonkuros" despite the ban, the second sister Held still "respectfully declined" those artificial life forms.

"This... According to what you said, why do I feel that my second sister has some double standards..."

Little Leni's complaints came from the sea of ​​consciousness.

"That bard Alice can be considered an artificial life form, right? According to the standards of the demon world, isn't she also a homunculus? Held himself forbade others to create artificial humans, while secretly creating dolls himself..."

Hearing this, Lainie couldn't help but show a bit of embarrassment on her face.

I couldn't help but cough secretly, and said in my heart:
"Hey! This kind of thing... we just know it in our hearts. If you see my second sister again in the future, don't say this to her face."

"That's right, the apostles' affairs, can that be called double standards? That's called research and supervision..."

Shaking her head to get rid of the offensive thoughts in her mind, Lainie refocused her attention on the dark blue data group in front of her.

Although Tony and the other man noticed that Lani was acting strangely, they just thought that she was trying to find a solution like them, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

"Did you think of anything?" Tony asked.

Lainie shook her head when she heard that, but then nodded, which made the two of them feel a little puzzled.

“We cannot rely solely on source code regulations, as doing so would be very risky.

I suggest setting up an additional control procedure, after all, we can't always pay attention to what Ultron learns. "

After these words were spoken, Dr. Banner beside him nodded thoughtfully in agreement.

“Laini is right, we do need a more complex system to manage and control Ultron.

It also has to be a completely independent monitoring system that can detect Ultron's behavior in real time and intervene immediately if it finds any behavior that violates the rules we set."

Tony pondered for a moment after hearing this, his eyes repeatedly wandering over the dark blue data ball in front of him.

"You are right, but if you want to create a program system that can supervise real artificial intelligence, then you must make the authority system of this system higher than Ultron..."

"But the problem is back to the beginning. How can we ensure that there will be no problems with this regulatory system and that it will not betray the rules we set?"

Dr. Banner rubbed his brows. He couldn't think of any good ideas for a moment.

However, at this moment, the orange-yellow data group, Jarvis, who had remained silent, suddenly interrupted and said:

"I can be a backup plan."

Upon hearing this, Tony and Dr. Banner's eyes lit up at the same time, and they both turned their gazes to Jarvis.

"Jarvis, you mean..."

“Yes, Sir, you can try to transform and upgrade part of my core code to make me an independent system capable of supervising Ultron.

Since I originally operated based on your will and instructions, I can guarantee my loyalty to you and follow the rules you set to a certain extent. "

Jarvis' voice was calm but firm.

But Lanie on the side did not particularly agree with this proposal, because she knew very well that once it was done, Jarvis, as the first line of defense, would definitely become a thorn in Ultron's side.

Even its existence may be threatened!

"Jarvis, this is a bold idea, but it also means you will take huge risks.

If Ultron attempts to resist or sabotage your system, then it is very likely that..."

However, what responded to Lainie was Jarvis's unchanging calm and firm voice.

“I understand your concern, Miss Lainie, but it’s a risk I’m willing to take.

As Mr. Stark once said - Sometimes you got to run before you can walk.
Sometimes people have to be a little ahead of the times.”
