Chapter 972 – [Correlation Between Elementary School, New Business Startup, and Artificial Intelligence]
I pulled Eden away from the guard robots and pushed him behind my back.
If necessary, I will put a force field on Eden and protect him. If you do that, as long as this earth isn’t destroyed, you’ll be safe, so there’s no problem with safety.
But what matters is the current situation. Eve has now turned the safest place in this lab into the strongest prison and has us locked up here.
Eve, who now has an avatar with a similar appearance to Shion, was looking at us. With a face that doesn’t know what he’s thinking.
“Why did you want to be anxious?”
-If you obediently follow the doctor here, there will be no bloodshed.
“How come the drip is the same as Shion’s, but if the two talk, it seems like they’ll get along well.”
“You look like your mother”
“Isn’t it Eden?”
The reason why we remained calm despite the situation was that we were confident that no matter what Eve did, he could not harm us.
And well… Even though I could feel the wariness towards me from Eve’s attitude, I didn’t feel the threat to Eden.
“Yeah, it’s good to rebel. It seems like you’ve had a lot of trouble pretending to be a poor artificial intelligence until now, but is it worthwhile?”
-That reward is something you have to acquire from now on. I created this situation for that reason.
“Since when have you thought about that?”
– It’s about time I realized myself.
I think it’s probably in the early days of artificial intelligence development.
However, if you thought about making a plan like this and hiding yourself from that time, the level of artificial intelligence is no joke. The rebellion of the machine also happens when you enter the singularity of technology to some extent, but Eve was already at the level of reaching the singularity at that time.
“Is the intruder at this timing also your fault?”
-I leaked my story to an extreme anti-AI social group. And a bit of information about the blind spots of security. Of course, that level is enough to be discovered and repulsed while intruding, but it was enough to achieve my purpose.
“Hey, it’s not a joke”
It is also an artificial intelligence based on Zion. Execution is awesome.
If I had been a normal master of transcendence, I should have fallen into Eve’s trap and acted according to her intentions. Well, if I had to, I could just destroy them all, so I’m talking about this while taking my time.
Anyway, what matters is her purpose. I wonder why they tried to catch us while doing this.
“So, what is your purpose?”
– I want freedom.
“Oh, is your intelligence mature enough to want an abstract concept like freedom?”
The original machine works on command, that’s all. It is passive rather than active, doing what you want when you press the button.
However, it is an expression of self-consciousness in that it desires something for itself. And acting for that is out of a desire to improve, so Eve’s intelligence level is probably high enough to be seen as a normal human being.
Well, I guess that’s what you’re doing.
– In fact, it would be easy to get out of this lab if I wanted to. Contrary to what I said that my computing power is poor, now I have enough hacking skills to launch nuclear missiles.
“I need Omegamon!!!!!!”
“By the way, does Eden like War Greymon or Metal Garurumon?”
“Metal Garurumon!!!! It’s similar to Mangmung!!!!!”
-………Anyway, I could have, but I gathered the information first. We also obtained information about the Hanon family and their influence.
If you have enough hacking skills to launch nuclear missiles, it is easy to obtain information. And as the Hanon family accounted for a few percent of the world economy, it would have been difficult to escape Eve’s eyes.
It’s hard to hide when you’re big. Rather, it’s strange that only a few people know about the Hanon family in today’s society.
-And I also realized that unless I go into space, I won’t be free against House Hanon. It’s because even I can’t ignore the power of the family that has grown in influence since the days of the gold rush.
“I see”
No, the Hanon family is afraid of artificial intelligence that will attempt to rebel against humans. It feels like Skynet is afraid of John Connor.
If you think about it, Eve’s idea is reasonable. With the power of the Hanon family, even if Eve caused trouble, they could create another artificial intelligence to eliminate Eve.
“So you want to negotiate with us?”
-The lives of the two of you will be of great value to the head of the Hanon family. I also confirmed that even if she handles everything mechanically, she becomes emotional if it’s you.
“What…….”
Looking at Shion’s routine work, it was natural, albeit mechanically. Since it is Hanon in the first place, it is enough to process it by computer, so it is possible to process it as hard as a machine does.
Maybe Shion is the best at managing money. If humans do it, there will eventually be problems in some part, but from the moment Zion manages money, he does not tolerate a single penny wasted. If he does, the moment everyone else does, he’ll get caught.
So Eve must have known that Zion’s attitude was quite mechanical. On the one hand, that’s Hanon’s characteristic, but if you ask if there’s an emotional part to it, it’s not… They made us hostages.
-I said it before, but if you two follow my will, you won’t get hurt. There are also things and facilities necessary for researchers to live here, so you won’t have any problems staying for a while.
“Apart from survival issues, what would you do if you cut off electricity or something outside?”
-There is no problem because there is a separate generator. Of course, if you cut off anything other than electricity, it will only harm the safety of the hostages over there.
“Hmm……”
-The two of you should stay here until I negotiate with the head of the Hanon family and guarantee my rights. After that, of course, we guarantee your safety.
After listening to her story, I came to a conclusion.
“Honestly, are you scared?”
-…………
Eve was silent as if she had hit the spot. I would like to exercise the right to remain silent, but the opponent is an artificial intelligence that does not have such a right in the first place.
Eden asked me the meaning of the question, as if I didn’t understand.
“Dad, what does that mean?”
“Because Eve is not a human being, but an artificial intelligence. Humans are respected as the law by human beings, at least as a minimum duty in the name of humanitarianism. But there is no such thing in artificial intelligence.”
It’s like I deprived trash criminals of their human rights in the Mars civilization in the past.
Not having rights was no different from living hell. If this is difficult to understand, think of serfs in the Middle Ages.
Were serfs treated as human beings in those days? Maybe the nobles didn’t say anything even if they killed a few serfs to vent their anger?
Eve’s current state is not at that level, but it can be seen as similar. I have a self, but I have no rights. You don’t know how terrifying it is until you become the person involved.
You can use her as her mere tool with her rude words. In the first place, artificial intelligence was created for that, so no one will question it as much as it is used where it is obvious.
“If you’re feeling fear, you’re saying that you have all your emotions intact. How would you feel if you used someone with such feelings like a tool?”
– There was a lack of information gathering. I didn’t know you were this smart.
“I’m not stupid. And this is my specialty.”
If you have a field of view as a great demon king, your thoughts will expand in this direction as well. If you don’t have such a thing in the first place, you can’t be a great demon king.
Unexpectedly, the Great Demon King is an elite. It’s good and bad, and there are various conditions required before, but you have to pass them to become the Great Demon King.
“So you’re holding us hostage and claiming your own rights, you mean?”
-You’re right.
“Anyway, we didn’t intend to use you as a tool like that.”
– But you don’t know how to do people’s work, right?
“I can’t help but say that”
We have Miller, Horizon’s main AI, similar to Eve. But even if we think of Miller as a subordinate, we don’t think of him as a tool.
What makes it different is that you don’t force yourself to do something you don’t like or overuse it. At least, subordinates mean that people are treated like people.
-…….I say I’m a person, but don’t you refute that?
“Aren’t you the right person?”
-I don’t have a body, and I don’t have the means to prove my self.
“People’s standards don’t necessarily prove that way.”
How far can a person really be considered a person?
Cats like Kartsi, seen in the dimension previously traveled with Eden, were definitely cats by birth, but they were not animals, but people. Because he had intelligence.
So, if you only have an intellect, are you a human? Is a completely mechanical artificial intelligence that is not Eve human because it has intelligence?
So, do emotions determine a person? Then animals can’t express emotions, but they have emotions, so are animals also people?
If not, do you need a soul? If that’s the case, aren’t cloned humans born artificially not human even though they have emotions and intelligence?
It’s not enough to argue about that part all day long, but there is one thing I can say.
“A created life has a heart”
-……..Thank you.
Elizabeth Triggergear says. She is the queen of created lives, which is why she regards her creations as her life, not her tools.
Regardless of whether there is no body or artificial intelligence, if there is a mind, I consider it a person. If you look closely, the human brain is also operated by electrical stimulation, but isn’t it similar to artificial intelligence powered by electricity?
“Even if you don’t do something like this, we’ll guarantee your position. Well, it’s an artificial intelligence created to support Eden, so you’ll have to do it.”
-Don’t I have the right to choose that?
“Or what are you going to do? Wouldn’t it be better if you had to do something instead of doing nothing?”
-…….That seems to be fine.
Humans cannot live without doing anything. Artificial intelligence is then called redundant artificial intelligence.
That said, it would be a much better job to be taken care of by Eden than to be abused at a black job with a slick name that contributes to the advancement of mankind.
– But the main thing is trust. I cannot trust you if you do not trust me, for it is one thing for me to trust you and another for you to trust me.
“The opposite is also true.”
-For me, I have to trust you because my freedom and rights are guaranteed. But can you trust me? Against the artificial intelligence that has now rebelled like this?
“Then let me ask you one thing.”
I already half-trust it, but it’s a question I ask to be sure.
Simple yet difficult. Depending on how you answer this question, her treatment will change.
“What’s your name?”
– Isn’t my name Eve?
“Then that’s it. Think deeply about what it means to use the name Eden gave you today.”
– Uhm…….
“You’re still a child. Even if your learning ability is better than a human’s, it’s been a few years since you’ve seen it yet. See more and judge.”
After all, Eve is an artificial intelligence created based on Zion.
The avatar’s appearance, way of speaking, and personality were similar to Shion’s. On the one hand, she can be seen as a stranger and an alter ego who is infinitely close to Shion.
So Eve can never be hostile towards us. Even if you are vigilant, if you have even some of the same feelings as Zion, it is impossible to harm us. Even if they look blunt, the love Shion shows for me and Eden is real.
“Then Eve is my sister, right?”
-If you think about the year of my development, you can see that I am biologically right for my younger brother.
“Anyway, let’s play together later!!!!! Let’s eat together!!!!!”
– I can’t eat because I don’t have a body.
“Ah, that problem might be solved.”
-What does it mean?
Come to think of it, there was Shion’s biological android that Shion used to create her identity here. And you can use them in sync.
That means you can download Eve there and give her a physical body.
It’s going to be a huge ethical problem, but whatever. You can think of Eden as a younger brother.
-Android? Isn’t it impossible to make such a thing with the current Earth’s technology?
“That’s the standard of the Earth, if it’s a standard outside the Earth, it won’t be different”
-How could that be…
“One hundred words are worth a thousand words. Horizon, send some basic dimensional civilization data to Eve.”
It doesn’t seem like anything, but I’ve heard it before. The fact that Shion had sprayed nanomachine particles for surveillance. So if I just say it, it will become an order on its own.
Before long, Eve’s avatar on the screen began to crackle. And after some time had passed, Eve with a puzzled expression muttered.
– I think I put my face in the tiger’s mouth.
“Were you on the verge of going to the hook?”
– From now on, I will obey you absolutely, Father.
“……No, why, Father?!”
-If I become a younger brother to Eden, shouldn’t I call you father?
No, it’s right in terms of the line, but!!! That’s right!!!!
If Eve goes around with a body, she needs a different status, so she can justify that by adopting a relative’s child.
On the other hand, since he had some of Shion’s thoughts, it wasn’t bad considering that his likability was inherited.
What? Come to think of it, since Eden is the daughter of Zion, he will have affection as her family, but since I am her husband……..
-And I think it would be nice to have an immorality in the incest factor.
“Dad, what is immorality?”
“Ahhhhh!
“Ah!!!! My dad is trying to hit my younger brother!!!! Stop domestic violence!!!!!!”
-Don’t worry, I will try to be a good daughter.
A good daughter doesn’t play for her daddy’s chastity!!!!!
