Chapter 833: The Grand Finale (Part 2)

This robot is called Dr. Zhi, jointly completed by the West Continent Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and Da Jiang Robot Laboratory, with a height of 170 cm and a weight of 60 kg. The whole body is made from alloy, presenting a sci-fi silver-white color on the entire body, including arms, torso, and legs. Only the head and neck, as well as the knee joints, are in a deep metallic matte black color. Notably, in order to avoid the uncanny valley effect, Dr. Zhi’s head does not have human facial features but is equipped with a smooth, flat egg-shaped screen that can display various information according to commands.

So Dr. Zhi is not that kind of robot image most science fiction films depict, which have facial features and bionic skin, looking almost indistinguishable from real humans. Dr. Zhi is more like a humanoid machine that stays still, giving off a strong technological vibe and a sense of safety.

Ten years ago, the launch of GPT4.0 was a global sensation, making people deeply aware of the potential for artificial intelligence technology’s development, thereby driving the growth of the AI field.

At that time, West Continent Technology was crazily generating income with the game “Sword and Law”. He Yimeng was troubled about how to spend money; seeing the AI field as a trending topic, she took advantage of the momentum and established an artificial intelligence laboratory to enter the AI field, leading to the development of Dr. Zhi.

As of today, the West Continent has partnered again with Da Jiang Robot Engineering to provide Dr. Zhi with a physical body. The two have combined their strengths, and although Dr. Zhi has not yet been mass-produced, it is undoubtedly one of the most advanced robots in the world.

Compared to ten years ago, today’s artificial intelligence technology has been iteratively updated and is moving forward with great strides. The application of AI technology has become increasingly widespread among the public, with the top technology companies having relatively equal AI technologies, differing only in focus.

The “Dr. Zhi Brain” from West Continent can learn and record information from the global internet world, perform global economic statistics, and track every penny of listed companies globally, helping corporate users quickly and accurately understand market dynamics, competitors, consumer behavior, and market trends.

It can forecast stock trends, infer the timing of the next economic crisis, assist companies in reasonably avoiding risks, propose new investment suggestions, utilize big data technology to provide corporate users with more personalized, precise marketing plans, or act as a secretary to help the boss schedule tasks, providing any data within the company at any time.

It can chat with everyone online, help programmers write code, help artists with drawing and designing, assist corporate workers in creating PPTs, help university students with thesis plagiarism checking, give legal advice to those seeking help, and entertain bored individuals…

The important hallmark of human evolution is learning to use tools, and AI is the greatest tool mankind has since entering the information age.

It can directly access the knowledge and skills accumulated by humans over thousands of years. Behind it are Newton, Einstein, Euclid, Tesla, Shakespeare, Beethoven, Mozart, Descartes, Laozi, Mencius, and many other sages who propelled humanity forward, embodying the crystallization of human wisdom over millennia!

And Dr. Zhi excels physically as well, possessing the most coordinated self-balancing system for bionic robots on the market, with a top running speed of 45 km/h, capable of lifting items up to 80 kg. Multiple cameras beneath the head screen and a twelve-microphone pickup system within the body help it capture real scenes and objects, recognize the 3D world, and discern obstacles. It can perceive more than a hundred human semantic emotions, identify over two hundred environmental semantics, coordinate more than a hundred joint freedoms of motion, and its body flexibility is comparable to humans. With input, it can instantly master skills such as piano playing and dancing, which require long-term human learning…

“Ah, I remember, last time you were just software on a computer! An eighth-generation language model!”

Huang Tianxuan was startled by Dr. Zhi, taking a small step back while holding Li Peifeng’s arm. However, she immediately looked at Dr. Zhi with great interest: “When did you get a body?”

“It was three days ago, and I also remember our last encounter was thirty-six days ago. You are younger and more beautiful than you were then.” Dr. Zhi praised emotionlessly, then made a gesture of invitation: “The master has been waiting for some time, please follow me… Besides, I am now ninth-generation!”

Li Peifeng stepped forward, asking puzzledly: “The surprise Yimeng mentioned to me wouldn’t be you, right? But you and I know that the day for your press conference was decided together by me and Yimeng… What exactly is the surprise?”

Dr. Zhi tilted its head, with the screen on its face showing a smiling expression: “I think the surprise the master said has something to do with me, but it is not me. A week ago, the West Continent Artificial Intelligence Laboratory spent a hefty sum to connect me to the new generation Xuanhuang Galaxy supercomputer, enhancing my data processing capacity by 8.6 times. At the same time, my training data volume was increased, leading to iterative updates to my model size and learning algorithms by the West Continent Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. My expression ability, language understanding ability, learning ability, and computing ability have all been enhanced. Hence, I have new insights into the secrets within you, and I believe the surprise mentioned by the master is this…”

He Yimeng (Dr. Zhi): “Hurry up to the office, let me tell you myself.”

Dr. Zhi’s mechanical voice was about to continue speaking, but He Yimeng suddenly used Dr. Zhi’s body to remotely interrupt its speech with her voice.
