Chapter 615 615. The War of the Century
July 11, 2010.
The day has finally come for [Bomi Go Master vs. Lee Sedol].
The whole world's focus is on this century-old man-machine war.
Early in the morning, the Bomi studio was ready. There were already people outside the studio. Many reporters surrounded the venue, and experts from the Go Association also arrived at the scene one after another.
After Lee Sedol arrived at the scene, he waited in the rest room while making preparations and answering reporters' questions.
In order to cope with this battle, Li Shishi had been arranged to stay in the best hotel in the imperial capital a week ago to adjust his condition.
This battle can be said to be of great significance. For Li Shishi, this is a battle for mankind.
This battle of the century will be broadcast live on CCTV and online. In other words, if many people do not have time to turn on the TV at home to watch the CCTV live broadcast, they can still watch the entire human-machine showdown through online live broadcast.
On this day, many office workers have no intention of going to work, and the same is true for Bomi's own employees.
When I was at work, I would open a small window next to me to watch the live video, and then do my own thing.
The main reason is that Go takes a long time. At least the entire process from the beginning of preparation to the end of this game is expected to last about 5 hours. There will also be a lot of rest time in the middle for everyone to do other things.
Moreover, there are only a few people who understand Go in this world, and most people don't understand the rules of Go at all. If you want to watch the entire Go live broadcast, even if you listen to the commentator's explanation, you will still be confused. Here, I have no idea what they are playing.
The main reason why it has attracted such high attention is that -
This is a showdown between AI and the most powerful human brain.
It is likely to have a disruptive impact.
Before this, basically everyone believed that it would take at least hundreds of years for artificial intelligence to surpass humans.
Even though it has been decades since Asimov wrote the Three Laws of Robotics, the field of AI does not seem to have achieved particularly great development.
CCTV host Zhang Quan is sitting in the studio, ready to bring you a live broadcast of this unprecedented battle.
Because it is a live broadcast, netizens can also interact with the scene through barrage, or express their opinions in the barrage.
This time the online live broadcast is directly enabled by Bomi's Penguin Video. There is no so-called room concept during the Penguin Video live broadcast. Everyone only needs to click the speak button next to the live broadcast room to speak directly, unless something inappropriate is posted. comments or abusive words, otherwise they will not be blocked.
In order to prepare for today's live broadcast process, Bomi Company has specially vacant more than 50 large servers. This number can almost catch up with the number of servers that started to grab red envelopes during the Spring Festival Gala this year.
Mainly because too many people around the world are paying attention, not only from China, but also from all Go countries, and even many countries that don't play Go very much and have no Go culture.
It can be said that the showdown between an AI and the most powerful human brain has become the focus of global attention.
Think about it, this is a matter of course. After all, AI's desire to defeat humans was still in the stage of science fiction novels and science fiction movies before today. Who would have thought that this day would come so quickly.
The complexity and difficulty of Go, as well as the computational magnitude of the entire AI, are far from comparable to the Go AI built by Deep Blue Computer in 1997.
If Bomi's Go master can defeat Lee Sedol in today's battle, it will create a subversive impression on the world.
Then AI will replace humans, or the arrival of the era of artificial intelligence is not far away from us.
It is for these reasons that this competition is particularly eye-catching.
Now in Bomi's live broadcast room, CCTV host Zhang Quan has finished preparations and is waiting for the situation on Li Shishi's side and Bomi staff to debug the computer.
This time the duel will be played by real people using a real chessboard, and then the staff will play against the computer based on the actual moves, and then the results will be fed back to the real chessboard.
In fact, it is also to make this man-machine duel more ritualistic.
For humans, placing stones on a real chessboard may be more in line with human habits and more conducive to Lee Sedol's performance.
After all, for chess players, the moment you pick up the chess pieces, the touch from the chess pieces to your fingertips is far beyond what a computer mouse can match. There is an unusually sacred feeling in it.
There is no way for a computer to play real chessboard games with real people through [hands], so this double chessboard model will be used.
In fact, it is also a very interesting thing.
At least the audience can feel this strong ritual atmosphere.
This is respect for human chess players, and it is also a special care for AI.
In this case, the two parts that seem to be separated are at the same time connected together in the form of a chessboard, giving people a sense of -
AI seems to be breaking through the dimensional wall, truly coming into our lives, and coming into the real world.
Until this moment, countless viewers in front of the computer suddenly felt that the era of artificial intelligence was really coming.
"Okay, before the game starts, I want to introduce it to you first." Zhang Quan said with a smile.
As the host's voice sounded, the live broadcast had actually begun.
However, it is estimated that there will still be some time before the players' official competition.
"Today, July 11, 2010, we will have an extremely unique showdown in the Imperial Capital. This showdown is very interesting and may have a great impact on the future.
This showdown is between the Go artificial intelligence developed by Bomi Group and the intelligent software known as Bomi Go Master, against Lee Sedol, the current number one player in the Go world and a professional nine-dan Go player.
In the Go community, they generally believe that Lee Sedol is the undisputed number one and possesses the most powerful brain in mankind.
In the later battles, he made almost no mistakes, and his calculation ability far exceeded other chess players. It can be said that Lee Sedol represents the highest level of human beings in Go.
Under such circumstances, today's showdown is quite eye-catching.
Will humans defeat machines?
Or will machines defeat humans?
Many netizens even said that if humans might lose in this war, the impact would be far-reaching.
However, more people are still optimistic about Lee Sedol. They believe that the development of AI has not made any large-scale theoretical breakthroughs and advances so far, so it is estimated that it will take some time to defeat humans.
But they also said that this time may not be long.
What the final result will be is really full of suspense. "
"We have seen that Lee Sedol 9th Dan is already waiting in the live broadcast room. In order not to interfere with the players' chess playing state, our live broadcast room is separated from his chess playing place by a certain distance for isolation. Noise, so that chess players can face the Bomi Go master in a better state.”
Zhang Quan said this, and then said to the camera, "Before this showdown begins, let's connect with player Lee Sedol and ask him how he is feeling now."
After two seconds, Li Sedol's face appeared on the right side of the screen.
He was sitting on the chair, looking relaxed, but because of the special nature of today's game, he was still a little nervous inside.
But as for the results, he is still relatively optimistic.
In the NetEase Building, the employees were no longer interested in working. When they heard that Li Shishi was connected, they all gathered at the workstation of one of their colleagues to see what this legendary **** looked like.
"Wow, is this Li Shishi? I found that people from the Han Kingdom look quite similar."
"He's quite handsome. I always thought that Go players were mostly short and fat guys."
"Hahaha, that means your thinking is still stuck in the last century."
"Teacher Nie's reputation was compromised."
"Yes. Lee Sedol is very famous. He is now the number one player in the Go world."
"Who will win this time?"
"Who knows? We definitely hope that Lee Sedol can win. At least it shows that there is still hope for mankind."
"Isn't it right? If we are working on the Internet, shouldn't we hope that AI can win? Then we will not be far from the real virtual world."
"It doesn't matter. As long as robots have not evolved self-awareness and have not stood against humans, this possibility will not exist."
"I think you are really thinking too much. Real AI will not have a robot body like in science fiction movies.
It is very likely that it is just a piece of code running on the network. "
"Well...it seems to make sense."
