How to create an artificial intelligence that is closer to humans?
In Zhongguancun, Beijing, at the Beijing Institute of General Artificial Intelligence, a general intelligent person "Tongtong" whose IQ and learning ability are close to those of a 3 to 4-year-old human being is constantly learning and growing in a "family" that simulates reality. It has visual abilities. It has universal human values and can automatically generate tasks and learn to eat, sleep, tidy up the room by itself...
On a large screen, the living scenes of an ordinary family are displayed. Bedroom, kitchen, living room, TV, coffee table, sofa, desk and other real-life spaces and appliances are all available. "Everything" "lives" here. Like an ordinary human child, carry out various kinds of learning.
"Tongtong" is the product of general artificial intelligence and a typical representative of new productivity. Mo Gang, director of the General Intelligence Platform Department of the Advanced Technology Center of the Beijing Institute of General Artificial Intelligence, introduced that "general artificial intelligence" is the commanding heights of global technological competition, and Different from ordinary artificial intelligence, it can complete an infinite number of tasks, can independently define tasks, automatically generate tasks in different environments, and complete tasks. In addition, it is value-driven artificial intelligence. "Simply put, we humans get up in the morning, go to school and work, and go to eat when we are hungry. These behaviors are all driven by our own value system, not by data or knowledge. This is also the purpose of our development of 'Tongtong', which is to make it Able to learn, grow and work independently like humans.”
The reporter saw that in different family scenes, "Tongtong" could independently complete tasks such as eating, sleeping, cleaning the room, clearing away debris, etc. And when this intelligent person with the IQ of a human being of 3 to 4 years old saw himself in the mirror When there are stains on the face, it will also take the initiative to clean them. According to reports, scientific researchers are developing and creating more scenarios to allow this intelligent person to grow like a real human child. "The smart people currently released only learn alone. We are already building a family of six to simulate a real family, with grandparents, parents, and two children, so that the smart people have the ability to socialize." Mo Gang introduced, "In the future, we will also create larger real-life social scenes such as kindergartens to promote the further growth of intelligent people."

If general artificial intelligence is the commanding heights of artificial intelligence technology, then the construction of basic computing power and the improvement of the computing power service system are the foundation for the development of the artificial intelligence industry.
In Mentougou, Beijing, on the bank of the Yongding River, in a high-tech industrial park, a computing power center with 500P computing power and rows of servers are providing computing power services to entrepreneurs from all over the country. This is the largest domestically produced independent controllable center in Beijing. The artificial intelligence computing power cluster is also a typical representative of the development of artificial intelligence industry in Mentougou District.
According to reports, in the process of transformation and development, Mentougou District has regarded artificial intelligence as one of the three major science and technology industries that are focused on development. In recent years, it has made great efforts to build the "Jingxi Smart Valley" and a modern science and technology innovation center relying on the "Jingxi Smart Valley".
Computing power is the foundation for the development of the artificial intelligence industry and one of the symbols of the transformation of the traditional mining area in western Beijing. According to reports, the computing power center adapts and provides multiple open source large models as well as mainstream mainstream fields such as natural language processing and computer vision. Open source model. At the same time, the liquid-cooled computer room of the heterogeneous computing power cluster has been reinforced to meet the construction conditions of 1000P computing power. In terms of air cooling, 400 16KW cabinets have been built to meet the 2000P computing power capability. It is expected to form an E-class computing power cluster by the end of the year.
Suo Xin, deputy director of the Zhongguancun Mentougou Park Management Committee, said that at present, the "Jingxi Intelligent Valley" intelligent computing center has migrated, adapted and incubated more than 20 mainstream large-scale models, and has linked and served more than 700 artificial intelligence companies and units. , and promoted the successful implementation of 19 large model benchmark application scenarios in meteorology, education, justice, archives, emergency response, transportation, government affairs, etc.
"Lingxi" is a meteorological AI person jointly developed by Mentougou District and the Beijing Meteorological Bureau. It will be officially released in June 2024. "Lingxi" is not only an intelligent meteorological assistant, but will also be empowered by artificial intelligence professional large models to achieve meteorological control. Deep mining and precise analysis of data.
The reporter noticed that in Jingxi Intelligent Valley, there are many such artificial intelligence products, such as "live broadcast AI person" and "legal AI person" that can convert dialects in real time.
