pursuing a perfect and all-powerful AI, or should it retain some of its human capabilities for itself?
"When AI can be omniscient and omnipotent to meet all our needs, I think this is not a good thing." During the 2024 Zhongguancun Forum Annual Meeting, at the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Science Fiction Integration Forum of the China Science Fiction Conference held in Shougang Park on the 28th, famous science fiction writers Liu Cixin, director of Beijing Yuanyu Science Fiction and Future Technology Research Institute, said this. "If human beings really want to continue for a long time, we must maintain the original spirit of continuous pioneering in life, open up new worlds, open up the unknown, pursue the unknown, and enterprising spirit to open up the new world." Summit dialogue session of the
forum , focusing on the topic of "Science Fiction Sees the Future, and Technological Innovation Drives Development", many guests and celebrities from the science fiction industry participated in the discussion. They talked about the ability of science fiction to see into the future from the perspectives of science and technology, literature, history, and the development process of civilization, expressing human beings' ability to see into the future. Concern for the development of science and technology, and reflection on the fate of mankind. Everyone mentioned that in the face of the rapid development of science and technology, human beings should always maintain their mental state, enterprising spirit and fighting spirit, and constantly meet new and unknown challenges.
During the exchange, people from the science and technology, science fiction creation, science fiction education and industry circles said that it is necessary to strengthen the cultivation and development of new productive forces, strengthen the proportion of science fiction education in the talent training process, and cultivate more innovation and technology talents for China's future. Beijing, Hong Kong and Macao should rely on technological innovation and science fiction industry development to keep up with the pace of a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, and work together to build new formats and new models for high-tech industrial cooperation in the new era. Xu Haishan, President of the Beijing-Hong Kong Academic Exchange Center and Director and Secretary-General of the Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Alliance, served as the moderator of the summit dialogue session.
With the rapid development of science and technology, scenes that existed in science fiction works in the past are gradually "entering" the real world, leading the direction of scientific and technological innovation. What impact will the successive emergence of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence have on the creation of science fiction literature?
"If artificial intelligence continues to develop at the current speed and trend, it may greatly intervene in the creation of science fiction literature." In Liu Cixin's view, artificial intelligence is indeed inferior to humans now in terms of imagination and creativity. But in the long-term development, it is difficult to draw a conclusion. In the creative field, whether writers, directors, or painters, they all face huge challenges from artificial intelligence.
"We need the participation of more science fiction writers, scientific researchers and technical experts to jointly explore how cutting-edge technology can be more reasonable and attractive in science fiction works." In another "Yuanyu·Lightyear" science popularization At the parallel forum on science fiction education, Liu Cixin further stated that it is necessary to further strengthen the combination of science popularization and science fiction, enhance the scientific and artistic nature of science fiction literature, and expand its role in science popularization education.
"In the short term, artificial intelligence will replace human jobs in many fields, and society must adapt to this situation. In the long term, the intelligence level of artificial intelligence may be close to or even surpass that of humans, which will have a great impact on human lifestyles, social forms and It will have a profound impact on the way we understand the world. This impact may even be subversive." Liu Cixin hopes that his works can explore this theme, but he also admits that science fiction writers themselves may also be replaced by artificial intelligence.
When human beings face the possibility of artificial intelligence surpassing their own civilization, Wang Jinkang, director of the Science Fiction Creation Research Base of the China Popular Science Writers Association and a famous science fiction writer, said, "Faced with the possibility of a higher-order AI intelligent civilization, human beings should adapt to the possibility of intelligent civilization. "The objective law of development." But he believes that human beings will definitely make a steep jump in their long-term linear development. Shun Haozhang, Associate Vice-President of the University of Hong Kong and Dean of the Hong Kong Youth Science Academy, said in response to this forward-looking assumption that artificial intelligence should play a positive role. "We must maintain a neutral attitude towards artificial intelligence. In artificial intelligence issues, how to use artificial intelligence Intelligence is the key. "
" The capabilities of large models have improved greatly now, but they are still in the early stages. As the number of model layers increases and the width increases, there will definitely be a lot of room for improvement in the future."Ma Jie, vice chairman of the China Cyberspace Security Association, has considerable confidence in the technological iteration capabilities of AI, while Wang Liwei, assistant professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and founder of Weitu AI, talked about the necessity of AI supervision from a scientific research perspective. He said that the research and development of AGI should still be explored in a relatively controllable and more efficient way. In addition, the application supervision of large artificial intelligence models in safety and many practical scenarios still needs to be further forward-looking. There is now considerable consensus on ethical norms. "
Liu Cixin believes that science fiction literature is a bridge between people and science and technology. It can simplify complex scientific and technological concepts and stimulate the general public's interest and curiosity in science. At the same time, it can also lead the public to think about how to act on the vast stage of the universe. Find the place of human beings.
Meng Fanxing, member of the Party Committee and Vice Chairman of the Beijing Science and Technology Association, said that scientific and technological innovation, science popularization, and science fiction education are the two-wheel drive that promotes social progress and human civilization. In this era of increasingly developed information communication, scientific and technological innovation continues. Emerging, popular science education keeps pace with the times, and science fiction education is an important channel to stimulate young people's curiosity and imagination, and an important means to cultivate young people's scientific literacy.
Bai Gengsheng, vice chairman of the Chinese Writers Association and president of the Chinese Documentary Literature Research Association.
As Bai Gengsheng, vice chairman of the Chinese Writers Association and president of the Chinese Documentary Literature Research Association, said in his speech at the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Science Fiction Fusion Forum, the combination of literature and technology will make literature full of hard power. Only when technology, literature, and culture become more Only by combining them well can literature flourish and achieve breakthroughs. “More literary creators must be encouraged to give wings to fantasy. Fantasy is the first element of literature. Without fantasy, the progress of science and technology will be very slow; Without science fiction, our fantasies would always remain just fantasies. The combination of science, technology and literature is a powerful alliance and a pioneer in China's cultural construction of a strong country. ”
