Chapter 595: Humans and the Creator
"Which field?" Xu You asked.
"Philosophy. If artificial intelligence can be used to study philosophical issues, humans will be completely replaced by artificial intelligence."
After hearing Lu Zhiyao's answer, Xu You had no objection.
Indeed, if artificial intelligence can even solve philosophical problems, then there will be no place for humans in the future.
After all, artificial intelligence thinks differently from humans. It requires rigorous logic without any emotion or feeling.
"Yes, if artificial intelligence can also produce philosophers, then humans may really be heading for extinction. They will think about why artificial intelligence must serve humans. This actually has no meaning to them."
At this moment, Lu Zhiyao suddenly thought of something.
"Xu You, tell me, if there really is a creator, would the creator have thought of giving birth to a species as creative as humans? From the perspective of creativity, are humans stronger than the creator?"
Xu You also fell into deep thought regarding Lu Zhiyao's question.
"According to this theory, the Creator invented the laws of the universe, created biological structures, and developed a set of evolutionary models. But I wonder if the Creator can create these technologies like humans? I think it is very likely that he cannot do so."
From different dimensions, the creative abilities of the Creator and humans should have their own merits.
So far, humans have not yet learned how to create a cell, which is a difficult problem that has plagued biology for many years.
"If we regard humans as the creator, then artificial intelligence is a kind of 'intelligent species' created by humans. Since artificial intelligence has the potential to surpass humans, humans may indeed have exceeded the control of the creator."
Lu Zhiyao's analogy was very appropriate, as if humans created a low-dimensional world, and the creatures in the low-dimensional world, through continuous evolution, surpassed the high-dimensional human creators in terms of ability.
"This is really a great philosophical question. It seems that I need to spare more time to study the origin and evolution of organisms in the future."
Xu You is not unfamiliar with biology, but he has not invested a lot of energy in research and produced many significant results like he has in physics, mathematics, and informatics.
But if you want to explore the truth about the universe, biology is definitely an important field.
And Xu You's vigorous energy is enough to support him in conducting research in more fields.
…
After the last meeting, we officially started to establish our own academic awards internally.
This award is named "the world's highest academic award" and includes several awards including mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and medicine, and literature.
The world's highest academic award is judged by many world-renowned experts in various disciplines. The award is given every year based on the achievements of researchers, and the winners will receive millions of Chinese yuan in prize money.
This award makes up for the lack of a mathematics award in the Nobel Prize. Once announced, it is regarded as one of the highest-level awards in the world's academic community.
It is almost certain that Xu You will win the first prize in physics, the world's highest academic award.
The black and white theory proposed by Xu You is a landmark theory. It would be a surprise if he did not win the award.
On this day, Xu You took the initiative to find Luo Wenkun and wanted to ask about the progress of Fulun Medical.
After Luo Wenkun arrived at Xu You's office, he first talked about the world's highest academic award.
"After establishing this award, we would have a higher status in the world academic community. Only ten years later, everything has been reversed."
Thinking back to ten years ago when Luo Wenkun just met Xu You, everything we had was in the stage of development and catching up.
In just ten years, everything has changed dramatically.
We have gone from being a follower to truly becoming a world leader.
And all of this seems to be inextricably linked to Xu You.
"Yes, our efforts over the years have not been in vain. We no longer have to rely on others for technology such as chips. Our students will be proud to study in universities in our country, and worshipping foreign countries will become a thing of the past forever."
After talking about the changes in the past ten years , Xu You asked Luo Wenkun questions about Fulun Medical.
"Wenkun, I haven't had time to ask you recently, how is Fulong Medical going?"
"Not bad, related research has already been done. Fulong Medical does not focus on ordinary research, but specializes in some emerging and previously unexplored fields. For example, one of the projects we are doing now is to study bone regeneration technology."
"Bone... regeneration?"
When Xu You heard the topic of this research, he was also a little surprised.
Although Luo Wenkun did not explain it in detail, Xu You also knew that what Luo Wenkun said should not be as simple as repairing a fracture.
"Wenkun, you're not referring to the technology of regrowing severed limbs, are you?"
"Yes, that's what you mean. I hope to enable people who have lost their limbs for various reasons to grow limbs again and resume their normal lives. This technology may sound incredible, but we already have some ideas."
Xu You was also very interested in this technology and listened carefully to Luo Wenkun's description.
"In our recent research, we discovered the role of periosteum and periosteum-derived stem cells in bone repair and bone regeneration. If we can continue to make progress in this research direction, we may be able to use bone stem cells to regenerate human limbs."
Stem cells are a type of cell that has unlimited regenerative capabilities. If humans can completely master stem cell technology, achieving immortality will not be impossible.
Xu You carefully read the relevant research papers and nodded in approval of this research.
"Yes, some creatures in nature also have the ability to regenerate severed limbs. It's not that humans don't have this ability at all, but it's just relatively weaker. I believe that stem cell technology will be able to solve this problem in the future."
Xu You didn't know why Luo Wenkun gave priority to the research of this technology, but it was indeed a very meaningful thing.
"In addition to this direction, we have another direction."
At this time, Luo Wenkun continued.
"Why, what other direction?"
"Another direction is through cloning technology."
