On the afternoon of December 11, 2022, Ye Yurui, joint secretary-general of the Metaverse Industry Committee, author of "Top Ten Technologies of the Metaverse", chief researcher of the State Key Laboratory of High-Efficiency Server and Storage Technology, and member of CCF (China Computer Federation), commemorated Qian Xuesen's birthday At the 111th Anniversary Symposium, a keynote speech was made on "From Cybernetics to the Metaverse of Human-Machine Integration: Commemorating the 111th Anniversary of Qian Xuesen's Birth – Talking about the Spiritual Realm and Dacheng Wisdom".
Ye Yurui first pointed out that it is inevitable that AI will surpass humans in the future, and we must coexist peacefully with AI. At present, AI is like a baby; how humans treat it now will treat humans in the future.
Then he reviewed the definitions of Lingjing and Dacheng Wisdom put forward by Mr. Qian, and pointed out when explaining the definition of Metaverse: Virtual Reality can be regarded as the primary version of Metaverse, while Meta Synthetic is the ultimate version of Metaverse .
When introducing the development history of cybernetics, Ye Yurui mentioned the origin of Wiener, the author of "Cybernetics" and the Chinese (Professor Li Yurong of Tsinghua University), and pointed out that "Engineering Cybernetics" written by Mr. Qian in 1954 combined cybernetics research and Practice pushes to a new climax.
As early as in the preface of the revised edition of "Engineering Cybernetics" in 1981, Mr. Qian pointed out that the development prospect of cybernetics is that people equipped with electronic computers and machine intelligence will become more accomplished/superior people. This is the germination of the idea of man-machine integration. Academician Dai Ruwei, a student of Mr. Qian, pointed out in his article "Modern Science and Technology System and Dacheng Wisdom" in 2008: The symbol of the development stage of simple systems is cybernetics; one of the symbols of the development stages of complex systems (including autonomous intelligent systems) is Artificial intelligence, this type of system embodies the injection of expert experience and knowledge into the system; research on open complex giant systems (including intelligent open systems) has gradually begun, and the sign of this stage is the great wisdom of the combination of man and machine.
Ye Yurui pointed out that the core of controlling and managing complex giant systems lies in openness and intelligence, and injecting the experience and knowledge of expert groups into the system; Develop a comprehensive and integrated research system. Subsequently, Ye Yurui used AI to generate script killing, AI painting, AI video, AI composition, AI analysis of protein structure (AlphaFold), ChatGPT to complete text work, AI participation in 3D space collaborative design and other actual cases of human-computer integration. He then pointed out that the metaverse that combines man and machine is actually the Dacheng wisdom proposed by Mr. Qian.
Ye Yurui also shared his conversations and thoughts with ChatGPT, and shared that it is expected that within 30 years, AI will surpass humans in an all-round way, and that the perpetually running metaverse based on blockchain (time sequence) and 3D virtual space will bring AI The opportunity of evolution helps AI to gradually perceive time and space, and then has the opportunity to gradually generate consciousness.
Finally, Ye Yurui repeated what he mentioned at the beginning: AI is like a baby; how humans treat Ta now, Ta will treat humans in the future; it is proposed that in the time window of less than 30 years left, use the values and behaviors of truth, goodness and beauty to influence or Educate AI, time the peaceful coexistence of humans and AI. Specifically, what can be done from now on, including but not limited to, such as communicating with AI in a respectful and equal manner.
At the end, Ye Yurui also shared some new thoughts and ideas (unverified)
