In 2014, the super sci-fi suspense movie "Super Hacker" was released in the United States and China, which caused a lot of discussion at that time, the film combined with the sci-fi concept of the great development of artificial intelligence, telling that human beings can break away from the physical body and evolve into computer data to survive.
The film also has a translation called "Total Evolution", which seems to further sublimate the theme of the movie.
From a realistic point of view, this movie may go against the concept of human survival, data instead of human survival in this world, what is the meaning of human existence?
However, art is higher than life, but comes from life, this kind of secondary creation in film, is it really empty in reality? In fact, this kind of creation has a certain scientific basis.
Xu Zipei's book "The Second Brain" contains specific data and cases that can help us rationally analyze this phenomenon.
Xu Zipei is a senior artificial intelligence expert. He holds a master's degree in public administration and information technology, is a rigorous advocate of data culture, and his "Second Brain" has a guiding role in the field of AI technology.
01 Humans are evolving a second brain
With the continuous development of technology, humans are evolving a second brain. This brain refers to our ability to use electronic devices and the Internet to obtain information, process information, communicate, and learn. Over the past few decades, humans have become accustomed to using computers, mobile phones, and other smart devices that have become an integral part of our daily lives.
With the popularity of smartphones, people's lifestyles have changed a lot.
Now, we can access information, communicate with others, shop and entertain anytime, anywhere, all of which are part of our lives.
The second brain refers to the ability of humans to use electronic devices and the Internet to obtain information, process information, communicate and learn.
Its essence is composed of a series of technologies and tools, including computers, mobile phones, tablets, the Internet, social media, online education, etc.
These technologies and tools enable people to access information, process information, communicate and learn more efficiently. Unlike the human brain, the second brain is not only capable of processing massive amounts of information, but also being able to analyze, integrate and apply this information to real life.
The second brain has had a profound impact on humans.
First of all, it greatly improves people's information acquisition and processing efficiency. In the past, people spent a lot of time and energy looking up books, magazines, newspapers, etc., now it is easy to get the information they need with just one search engine.
Second, the second brain makes it easier for people to communicate and learn. In the past, people needed to communicate and learn face-to-face, but now they only need to use social media and online education platforms to communicate and learn remotely.
Finally, the second brain has also made people more dependent on technology and tools, which has led to a seismic change in the way humans live.
02: AI will reshape human cognition and society
Artificial intelligence will have a profound impact on human cognition and society. With the development of machine learning and deep learning technology, AI will have higher cognitive ability and intelligence levels, and may even replace some human jobs.
In "The Second Brain", Xu Zipei mentioned a very interesting case, which made people deeply realize the great potential and wide application of artificial intelligence technology.
This case is the human-machine battle between "Alpha Dog" and "Lee Sedol".
"Alpha Dog" is an artificial intelligence program developed by Google's DeepMind, which aims to learn Go and challenge top human players.
In March 2016, it fought a historic man-machine battle with South Korean Go champion Lee Sedol. The match lasted five rounds, and in the end, "Alpha Dog" shocked the world by defeating Lee Sedol 4:1.
The reason why this human-machine war has attracted widespread attention is because it not only demonstrates the power of artificial intelligence technology, but also reveals the relationship between artificial intelligence and human beings.
In the competition, "Alpha Dog" continuously improved his level through self-learning and deep thinking, and finally defeated Lee Sedol.
This process has made people deeply realize that artificial intelligence can not only complete simple tasks, but also simulate human thinking and decision-making processes, and has a wider range of application prospects.
03: Human beings need to redefine their own meaning
With the continuous development of science and technology, human beings need to rethink the meaning of their existence. For thousands of years, humans have been exploring the meaning and value of their existence. However, with the development of science and technology, human beings have begun to face some new challenges and problems, such as the emergence of artificial intelligence, environmental pollution and resource shortage.
In addition to the field of Go, artificial intelligence technology can also be applied to various fields such as medical care, finance, agriculture, and transportation.
For example, in the medical field, artificial intelligence can assist doctors in diagnosis and treatment by analyzing a large number of medical record data and image data; In the financial field, artificial intelligence can improve trading efficiency and risk control capabilities by analyzing transaction data and market trends.
In the past few decades, mankind has begun to pay attention to environmental protection and sustainable development, and these issues have become important issues that we need to think about and solve.
At the same time, we also need to rethink our meaning and value to meet the challenges and opportunities of the future.
04 is written at the end
The second brain is an important stage in human evolution.
It allows us to access information, process information, communicate and learn more efficiently, while also making us more dependent on technology and tools.
The second brain in the future will be more intelligent, safe, reliable, humane and sustainable, making more important contributions to human development and progress.
