Chapter 363 This is our island
Whether in terms of hardware or software, the upgraded AlphaGo is more powerful than previous versions.
The purpose of doing this is not only to win the game of Go, but also to prove that their artificial intelligence is the strongest.
After seeing the declaration of war from Google, everyone became very interested in the battle between the two artificial intelligences.
"They have taken the initiative to declare war on us... I don't know if our artificial intelligence dares to fight back, but I have my doubts. Can our artificial intelligence really be more powerful than Google's?"
"Our AI is based on quantum computers, and its computing power is simply incomparable to that of supercomputers. I just don't know if our AI is really as good as the legend says in terms of program adaptability."
"I'm afraid we will reject their invitation for various reasons. But I still believe that our quantum computer team will be responsible for their achievements. Who has better technology will depend on the result of this game."
Among the tens of millions of netizens who are paying attention to this matter, Nie Jie is undoubtedly the most excited one.
"I didn't expect them to actually volunteer to fight. It seems they still don't trust our skills. Let's give them a good beating this time!"
"Of course, I also want to see how big the gap is between these two artificial intelligences."
In fact, when fighting with Nie Jie, the island's artificial intelligence was far from using its most powerful performance.
The speed of each move is almost in milliseconds.
If you spend more time thinking, you can further improve the quality of each move.
After so many days, Haidao AI has completed hundreds of millions of games with itself, and its chess skills continue to grow.
Xu You couldn't judge the specific level of his chess skills.
We need a stronger opponent to verify it.
Thinking of this, Xu You immediately accepted Google's invitation through the official of the Island Quantum Computer Project Team.
"We are honored to receive the invitation from Google to play against the upgraded version of AlphaGo. This is a great opportunity for technical exchange. We also hope that this opportunity can promote the advancement of artificial intelligence and promote Go, a classic competitive game with thousands of years of history, to a wider range."
It’s amazing to see that Haidao Artificial Intelligence accepted the invitation so readily.
Google was also somewhat unexpected.
"They actually agreed so decisively... Are they really confident that they can defeat us?"
“Unless their artificial intelligence is truly based on quantum computers, it is impossible for them to surpass us in computing power.”
At this point, neither side can back down.
After confirming the confrontation, Google contacted both parties on the island to discuss the specific details.
Because neither computer wanted to make a move, both sides agreed to conduct the game online.
The battle platform between the two sides was set on Penguin's Fox Go platform.
After the date of the competition was set, Go enthusiasts and practitioners in the field of artificial intelligence from all over the world paid close attention to this match.
Even ordinary people want to know which artificial intelligence is more powerful.
In order to make the competition more realistic, the computers supporting the two artificial intelligences will also be presented in real-time broadcast mode.
But just before the game, people at Google were still skeptical about whether they would send other Go-playing AIs to participate in the competition.
After all, in an online game, it is impossible to be sure .
"If it were any other AI, there would be no way they could beat us. We've learned about the chess skills of their other AIs, and they are only two or three moves ahead of professional chess players at best. With such skills, it would be difficult for them to gain an advantage even against AlphaGo before it was upgraded, let alone AlphaGo after it was upgraded."
On the other hand, if this artificial intelligence is really based on a quantum computer with super computing power, it still cannot defeat AlphaGo which is based on a supercomputer.
That further proves that this is a failure.
On the day of the game, countless netizens had already crowded into the live broadcast room in advance, waiting for the arrival of this "game of the century".
Such a game representing two technological levels has even attracted the attention of people all over the world.
As the creator of Island Artificial Intelligence, Xu You also came to the Island Quantum Laboratory to debug the Island quantum computer.
This time, the island quantum computer will turn on the performance mode and fight in the best condition.
All members of the entire island quantum laboratory were very nervous.
Because quantum computers have very stringent environmental requirements, they must perform maintenance work in real time to prevent the island from failing to operate.
After completing all these preparations, the game officially began.
As a special guest of this competition, Nie Jie was giving commentary on CCTV.
"In order to show our grace, our island artificial intelligence took the initiative to let AlphaGo choose the first and second moves in the first game. As I expected, they chose the white pieces with a higher winning rate. According to recent statistics, the winning rate of players playing with white pieces is higher than that of players playing with black pieces. This is related to the rules of Go..."
Most of the people who watch the show don’t care about the professional content, they only care about the final results.
When the time reaches the moment of the game, the game officially begins.
Fortunately, in addition to professional commentary, there is also real-time winning rate evaluation by software on site.
This makes it easier for Go novices to see the pros and cons of a situation.
As the game progressed, everyone began to notice a problem.
"Our island AI seems to be able to make moves much faster than the upgraded version of AlphaGo."
"That's right. They have to think for a long time for each step, but we only need a few seconds. There is obviously still a lot of time left . Aren't we acting too hastily?"
"Maybe it's because our computing power is too strong. The computing power of a quantum computer is tens of millions times faster than a supercomputer, so it doesn't take that long to think."
Even in its performance state, the Island quantum computer does not need to think for a long time like a supercomputer and can completely "kill" the chess move instantly.
In the first twenty or so moves, the two sides were relatively evenly matched, and the winning rate remained at around 50%.
After all, it is difficult to form any gap during the layout stage.
But as the game progressed, the expressions of AlphaGo staff suddenly changed.
"Our artificial intelligence... seems to have a bug!"
