Heroes of The Sky – Chapter 1213

The artificial intelligence, Zero, in its current form was a completely different being from the AI that had defeated humanity in Go.

The AI of the past was still only a program. It had stored countless records of Go games and played against itself countless times to build up a large data model. But, the program was not sapient. Although it gave the feeling that it could think, that was actually achieved by using a value network for computing data and a policy network for strategy choices. However, its strategy choices were still very limited. It was not capable of deliberately tricking a human opponent into making the wrong move. Therefore, that artificial intelligence program did not have true intelligence.

But the artificial intelligence, Zero, was different. It had completely awakened a higher level of consciousness and even started thinking about the coexistence of civilizations.

The underlying logic in which its choices were derived originated from itself, not humans. It was an independent and extremely smart lifeform.

The Go game records Julius knew of only consisted of replay analyses from two matches between humanity and machines. There was no specific source code or data related to that machine learning algorithm.
