Chapter 366 Things Might Be Serious
The results of today's three games of chess were something they had never expected.
Originally, they took the initiative to invite the Island AI to fight, more because they believed that the Island AI was not that powerful and would not dare to fight against AlphaGo.
Unexpectedly, they not only readily agreed to the challenge, but also ruthlessly defeated AlphaGo.
Especially in the last round, even though AlphaGo was given two pieces, the Island AI still won without any bloodshed .
“Could it be that they have really developed quantum artificial intelligence?”
"It seems that it is basically confirmed. Otherwise, it is impossible for the computing power to exceed that of AlphaGo."
Because the upgraded AlphaGo does not just run on a computer, but is based on a huge cloud computing data center.
Even if all the supercomputing resources of China were mobilized, it could barely fight AlphaGo on equal terms.
The fact that the computing power is completely different is enough to show that this is true quantum artificial intelligence.
"I didn't expect that they actually solved the complex quantum programming problem. In the field of quantum computing, we have completely fallen behind."
The emergence of the Island Quantum Computer has directly ushered in a new era of quantum computers with one thousand quantum bits.
The emergence of this island artificial intelligence has enabled quantum computers to achieve extremely high application value.
This huge advantage in technological research and development made them feel even more desperate than the fact that the artificial intelligence on the island just now allowed the two of them to defeat AlphaGo.
"Since they can develop such a powerful quantum computer and quantum artificial intelligence... why can't we? Apart from failure, at least we have confirmed that quantum computing is indeed a viable path. Within a year, we must create a quantum computer with more than a thousand qubits and the corresponding quantum artificial intelligence!"
…
After the three-game match between Island AI and AlphaGo ended.
The entire Internet has launched a heated discussion on this matter.
Whether they are professionals or ordinary people.
All had great fun from it.
This not only represents a victory for a Go software.
It is also a reflection of scientific and technological strength.
In the eyes of professionals, this proves that quantum computing has great prospects and will most likely continue to be applied to other fields.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the US took the initiative to challenge the enemy on the island, but suffered a miserable defeat.
It gives everyone something to talk about.
In recent years, the world's technological landscape has changed.
In many areas, China has either narrowed the gap or directly surpassed others.
The bald eagle's dominant position has become precarious.
Xu You did not pay attention to these discussions, but instead focused his energy on the next research.
The Island quantum computer has the ability to solve Go problems, which is a very significant breakthrough.
But this is not the end, it is just the beginning.
This proves that as long as the right program is written.
Island artificial intelligence can improve its ability to solve various problems through deep learning.
This idea can also be applied to solving other problems.
But on this day, Xu You received bad news.
"Xu You, if you have time, can you come with me to the hospital to see Teacher Wang?"
Zhao Weijia specifically found Xu You and explained his request.
Seeing Zhao Weijia's expression, Xu You knew that Wang Xiangwu's condition might be very bad.
"Teacher Wang...what happened?"
"I'm sorry for hiding something from you. Professor Wang is suffering from end-stage heart failure and is in a critical condition. Because I was afraid that you would worry and it would affect your research work, Professor Wang didn't let me tell you too much."
What Zhao Weijia meant by this was that this might be the last time he would see Wang Xiangwu.
Xu You was completely unprepared for receiving such bad news suddenly .
"Let's go to the hospital now!"
Xu You put down all the work in his hands without hesitation and rushed to the hospital where Wang Xiangwu was with Zhao Weijia.
When he entered the ward and saw the person lying on the bed, he couldn't believe for a moment that this was Wang Xiangwu.
"Teacher Wang..."
The person lying on the hospital bed at this time was skinny and breathless.
It was only by looking at the name on the hospital bed that Xu You confirmed that this was Wang Xiangwu himself.
"Xu You...you are here..."
After seeing Xu You, Wang Xiangwu forced a smile to make himself appear in better spirits.
Xu You realized that Wang Xiangwu was very weak and said quickly:
"Teacher Wang, please have a good rest and stop talking."
Wang Xiangwu nodded slightly, still looking at Xu You with a smile.
But at this time, Xu You's eyes were already filled with tears.
Just now on the road, Xu You got some specific information from Zhao Weijia.
It turned out that Wang Xiangwu had some heart problems before, but as long as he took good care of himself, there were no problems and he was no different from ordinary people.
But recently, perhaps due to overwork at work, Wang Xiangwu's condition suddenly worsened.
This deterioration is difficult to reverse, and only a heart transplant can keep the patient alive.
Heart transplant surgery is not only risky in itself, but also extremely rare in terms of donors.
With sad emotions, Xu You called out the families of Zhao Weijia and Wang Xiangwu.
"Professor Xu, thank you for coming all the way here. I heard from my father before that he has always liked you very much, so I also want you to meet my father again. After all, no one can predict what will happen after the operation ."
The person who was talking to Xu You was Wang Xiangwu's son.
Wang Xiangwu's son, who looks to be in his thirties, is a teacher at a pretty good university.
After calming down, Xu You also realized that sadness alone would not solve the problem.
"What is the surgical plan? Will it be a living heart or an artificial heart?"
"It has not been confirmed yet, but it is most likely an artificial heart. Because there are too few living hearts, it is difficult to get one, and it also needs to be a matching one. We have tried our best to find a suitable match, but unfortunately it is still not going well."
Such things are indeed difficult to accomplish through formal channels even if one has enough money.
It is also impossible for Xu You to help Wang Xiangwu find a suitable heart by exercising his privileges.
At this time, Xu You suddenly thought of Gong Rui.
"By the way, I know a heart specialist at Thistle University. How about asking for his opinion?"
But when Wang Xiangwu's son heard Xu You's words, he did not show any high emotions.
