In the Earth Age, people often encounter a problem when training AI. The quality of the data is too low and the total amount of data is too small. For example, if people want to train an industrial AI, it obviously requires a large amount of real data from the factory front line. But this data is hard to obtain. Why would a factory hand over its data to you? Even if I give it to you, how can you confirm that the data is true? This is still the case when the situation is relatively good. The situation is even worse when some AI training requires data collected directly from the Internet. The data on the Internet is mixed, and most of the data can be regarded as garbage. How can we train a highly intelligent AI with a pile of garbage? But for Li Qingsong, nothing is an obstacle. All the data used to train the current set of industrial AI is produced by me, all from real factories. I can ensure that every piece of data is 100% authentic. The total amount of data is too small?
What a joke! There are tens of thousands of factories and bases in total, covering almost all industrial sectors. You can get any data you want and as much data as you want. I even have more than a dozen chip factories, producing more than 500 million chips a year. Is that enough for training? Not enough? If not, I can just make some more. Anyway, we need to increase chip production. Compared with his human counterparts on Earth in the past - although all evidence now shows that human civilization seems to have never existed and everything is just his own illusion, Li Qingsong still stubbornly believes that this must be a conspiracy and that humans must have existed - Li Qingsong's data at this moment is enough to crush them in terms of both total amount and data quality. Fed with sufficient and high-quality food, this set of industrial AI grew rapidly. During the training, Li Qingsong also started to work on the next task simultaneously. Fiber optic transformation. He replaced all the digital communication cables originally used to connect different bases and different chips with optical cables. As a result, not only the signal stability was greatly improved, but the communication rate was also directly increased by more than ten times. After completing the fiber optic transformation, Li Qingsong also built five other supercomputers and started training different types of industrial AI. According to Li Qingsong's plan, he wants to train about 100 AI systems suitable for different industrial scenarios and deploy them in different industrial systems to greatly improve production efficiency and greatly reduce manpower requirements. As manpower requirements are reduced and production efficiency is improved, the role that a single clone can play will naturally increase exponentially. You can then massively increase overall productivity again without increasing the number of clones. In addition to these 100 industry-specific industrial AIs, Li Qingsong also plans to train a general AI to manage and coordinate the 100 subordinate industry-specific AIs. The reason for this setting is to consider building branch bases on different planets. Because of communication delays, Li Qingsong is unable to control the clones on other planets in real time, and industrial production cannot proceed. In this case, how can we develop the other planets? With AI technology, all problems can be easily solved. At that time, I can leave all the basic work with high real-time requirements to AI, and the clones I deploy there will only be responsible for inputting decisions. For example, the enemy god star that Li Qingsong is planning to develop now has this model in his plan.
For example, if there are 100 excavators, you only need to make the decision to "dig a big hole in five hours" and input the relevant instructions into the AI through clones. AI will control these excavators to complete corresponding tasks at corresponding time points. Because these decisions do not require high real-time performance, communication delays do not matter. At most the efficiency will be slightly reduced, but it doesn’t matter, we can make up for it by building a few more factories. This is why Li Qingsong attaches so much importance to AI technology. At this moment, with the construction of one supercomputer after another, the completion of fiber optic transformation, and the completion of intelligent transformation of every factory, those industrial AIs can finally be put into use. The first factory to try intelligent operation was a steel plant. Under the control of AI in the steel industry, Li Qingsong has assigned all positions with high real-time requirements to AI. Therefore, without human intervention, the ore was automatically sent to the crushing workshop, and then after screening, separation, cleaning and other operations, it was sent to the smelting furnace... The clones' jobs changed from producers to decision makers, supervisors and maintainers. They supervise and maintain the operation of this system, deal with various emergencies, repair various damaged parts, and obtain the latest decisions through connecting with Li Qingsong's consciousness and then execute them. At present, AI in the steel industry is not very mature. After all, chip performance is still relatively limited, and industrial algorithms are not good enough. But it doesn’t matter, all of this can be improved and optimized slowly. The most important thing is that even with the imperfect AI at the moment, the operation of this steel plant has been reduced from 4,000 clones to only 2,500 people! The huge potential of AI technology was displayed to Li Qingsong without any hindrance. "Very good. Very good." Li Qingsong was overjoyed and immediately followed the model here and began the intelligent transformation of other metallurgical factories. In addition, AI in other industries is also being intensively trained. Planting AI, animal husbandry AI, chemical AI, transportation AI... And most importantly, what Li Qingsong envisioned is that the overall AI that manages and coordinates all other industry-specific AIs is also running in a new, larger supercomputer, constantly being fed with data and trained. Li Qingsong gave this general AI a very resounding name. In human myths and legends, the Jade Emperor is the ruler of heaven, which controls everything in the world. In this case, the name of this chief AI is Jade Emperor! Of course, at this moment, the Jade Emperor is still very weak, very imperfect, and has few functions. But it doesn't matter, as long as it continues to be fed with data and trained, it will always grow. After completing the layout of chip technology and AI technology, Li Qingsong turned his attention to another technology that is essential for the development of Enemy Star. More efficient interstellar propulsion technology! In the equally large propulsion technology research base, tens of thousands of clones are busy day and night, conducting research on everything from the most basic chemical fuel ratios and material properties to the overall structure of the engine, hull structure and layout.
