Professor, the second question is from Fu Sheng, CEO, Cheetah Mobile:
“Does the human soul exist as a form of quantum or another form of higher dimensional space?“
教授,第二个问题来自于猎豹移动 CEO 傅盛,
“灵魂会不会是量子的一种存在形态?或者是高维空间里的另一个表现?”
I believe that recent advances in AI, such as computers winning at chess and Go, show that here is no essential difference between the human brain and a computer。 Contrary to the opinion of my colleague Roger Penrose。 Would one say a computer has a soul。 In my opinion, the notion of an individual human soul is a Christian concept, linked to the after life which I consider to be a fairy story。
我认为近来人工智能的发展,比如电脑在国际象棋和围棋的比赛中战胜人脑,都显示出人脑和电脑并没有本质差别。这点上我和我的同事罗杰·彭罗斯正好相反。会有人认为电脑有灵魂吗?对我而言,灵魂这个说法是一个基督教的概念,它和来世联系在一起。我认为这是一个童话故事。
Professor, the third question is from Ya-QinZhang, President, Baidu:
“The way human beings observe and abstract the universe is constantly evolving, from observation and estimation to Newton‘s law and Einstein’s equation, and now data-driven computation and AI。 What is next?”
教授,第三个问题来自于百度总裁张亚勤
“人类观察和抽象世界的方式不断演进,从早期的观察和估算,到牛顿定律和爱因斯坦方程式,到今天数据驱动的计算和人工智能,下一个是什么?”
We need a new quantum theory, which unifies gravity with the other forces of nature。 Many people claim that it is string theory, but I have my doubts。 So far about the only prediction is that space-time has ten dimensions。
我们需要一个新的量子理论,将重力和其他自然界的其它力量整合在一起。许多人声称这是弦理论,但我对此表示怀疑,目前唯一的推测是,时空有十个维度。
