Since its birth, artificial intelligence has triggered a vigorous R&D boom worldwide. Due to powerful computing capabilities and excellent intelligent system functions, artificial intelligence has begun to occupy an increasingly important role in human life, and this has also made countries around the world begin to increase the development and improvement of new AI technologies.
Facts have proved that in just a few decades, the scientific community has achieved remarkable results in the exploration of artificial intelligence. From Ainiak, which performs 300,000 additions per second, to "tera_10", which can perform more than 40 trillion additions per second; from a simple robot that can only snatch small blocks to the one that defeats the human chess king. "Deep Blue", the rapid progress of the entire artificial intelligence discipline, not only brought earth-shaking changes to this discipline, but also deeply affected human life. It is foreseeable that under the background that all countries in the world are fully supporting the development of artificial intelligence, more artificial intelligence bodies with excellent performance will be developed and entered into thousands of households.
Undoubtedly, countries all over the world are looking for more intelligent and faster computer systems. The result of this is obvious. Higher-level intelligent systems will create more objective social wealth for users. At the same time, should the rapidly expanding artificial intelligence system also arouse human alertness?
One day in October 1939, laughter continued in a laboratory at the University of Iowa in the United States. At this time, Professor John Vincent Atanasoff, who was chatting and laughing with his companions, had not realized the clumsy machine in front of him. Machines will bring earth-shaking changes to human society. He and his assistant, graduate student Clifford Bailey, gave the machine a rough name: ABC, which is the initials "A" and "B" of the last names of the two, plus the "C" of "Computer". And this "ABC" machine, which had not attracted much attention at the time, was the prototype of later generations of advanced computers.
Constrained by the constraints of the times, Atanasov and Bailey did not attach great importance to their great invention, and "ABC" was just a solution to some mathematical equations. A few years later, the U.S. authorities were also involved in the vortex of the world war. Atanasov and Bailey both put aside all academic research in their hands and turned to defense and weapon manufacturing. The "ABC" further refined Research was put on hold. By 1946, when the world war had entered a white-hot stage, all strata of American society invariably helped the government by reducing expenditures, and the educational funding of the University of Iowa also ceased to a large extent. In the context of such an era, some parts of "ABC" have been dismantled and used for other purposes, and only the storage device is left alone.
Although "ABC" has not attracted the attention of the society, a professor at the University of Iowa has invented a machine that can solve extremely difficult equations on its own. This news has attracted the attention of many researchers in the industry. The power engineering of the University of Pennsylvania Professor Mochiley John William is one of them. After visiting the "ABC" left in the storage room of the University of Iowa, he seriously communicated some opinions with Professor Atanasoff, which helped Mochili later develop a higher-level computer "Ainia". Gram" provides the basis.
By February 14, 1946, the new computer "Ainiac" jointly launched by Professor Mochiley and his student, Eckert John Prosper, who was only 25 years old, was born. Unlike the "ABC" led by Atanasov, Ainiak has received strong support from the military because the US authorities hope to use electronic calculations to regulate the trajectory of artillery shells and increase the hit rate. According to reports at the time, the Ainiac computer was 50 feet long (1 foot = 0.3048 meters), 30 feet wide, and weighed 30 tons. When the Ainiac started to operate, the entire city of Ferradfea needed to shut down civilian power to ensure the normal operation of the Ainiac.
In addition to the large floor area, heavy tonnage, and surprising power consumption, the Ainiac needs 18,800 vacuum tubes to support its work. More importantly, the loss rate of the huge number of vacuum tubes is staggering. One vacuum tube will be burnt in about 15 minutes, and then the staff have to spend a lot of time to find and replace the broken parts.
However, although in terms of resource consumption, the consumption of the Ainiak computer is very alarming, but at the same time, it also showed value for money performance: in terms of addition, it The speed reached 5000 times. This can be said to be a "horrifying" achievement at the time, and of course this is unmatched by any human brain.
Of course, from a historical point of view, all this is just the beginning. With the great attention of all sectors of society, computer technology has also been advancing by leaps and bounds. Today, computers that run hundreds of millions of calculations per second can no longer be regarded as "first-class products." The "tera-10" model computer produced by the French Atomic Energy Agency has a calculation speed of 42.9 trillion operations per second, which can barely rank seventh in the industry. Then Ainiac’s 5000 addition operations per second in that year, or It is 400 multiplications per second, which seems trivial.
It can be said that since the advent of the first electronic computer "ABC", in less than a hundred years, the development and use of computer technology by humans has been amazing. In terms of operating speed purely, supercomputers developed after the 21st century are hundreds of millions of times faster in efficiency than the first-generation computers. This gap can no longer be compared with "grass". More importantly, from the perspective of the needs of the times, the computer-led intelligent system has also been deeply ingrained in human society and has already penetrated into all aspects of human life.
From the perspective of social production, whether it is industrial production or agricultural and sideline farming, the labor system using intelligent digital control is more productive. In the United States, the population engaged in agricultural production is less than 2% of the total population of the country, but they support the entire food supply of the entire United States, and also export a large number of agricultural products, making it the world's number one agricultural exporter. What is even more commendable is that American farmers do not need to sow or graze cattle and sheep every day and night. What they need to do more is to sit next to the computer, drink coffee, and complete agricultural production through electronic systems. With the help of a highly automated mechanical production system, an American couple can complete 3000 acres of farm work, and they can also feed nearly 200 cows. When facing visitors’ questions, Larry Gregg also showed him how he used a computer terminal with a GPS system to control the tractor plowing.
In contrast, the application of intelligent systems to agricultural production lags behind industrial production applications. In other words, the impact of intelligent systems on global industrial production is more significant. Richard Lachman, a professor of sociology at the State University of New York in the United States, said: "If we completely remove intelligent operations from industrial production, then our production efficiency will drop 10,000 times or more."
Therefore, as far as social production is concerned, the dependence and use of intelligent systems in human society has reached a very high level.
From the perspective of daily life, intelligent electronic products have also become an important part of human life. If there is no telephone, remote communication can only be accomplished through letters or telegrams. This is obviously a terrible thing.
Generally speaking, since the advent of the first electronic computer, mankind has gradually begun the journey of an intelligent society. After a series of explorations, the R&D process and use technology of intelligent products have shown rapid development. From the 5,000 additions per second on the Ainiac to the more than 40 trillion times per second on the tera-10, the computer field has undergone tremendous changes. At the same time, the application of intelligent systems also plays a pivotal role in social production and daily life. However, such a high degree of dependence on electronic machines is bound to coexist with pros and cons. It's like the Gregs who run a 3000-acre farm. When the smart operating system in their home is working step by step, he can easily complete each year's work. What if these systems fail or lose control? Of course, we don’t have to be too pessimistic or doubtful about the development and application of artificial intelligence, because at this stage, the significance of intelligent operation for the promotion of human society far exceeds its hidden dangers. However, judging from the fact that the operating speed of electronic computers has soared nearly ten billion times in just a few decades, it is actually necessary to stay alert to artificial intelligence systems.
