Chapter 457 The Machine Crisis 43
"You're the ultimate cyber demon, an omnipotent artificial intelligence, can't you even monitor a few humans?"
The virtual AI avatar on the screen jumped slightly, looking somewhat hesitant: "But...didn't you say that we can't easily infringe on human privacy rights?"
“It’s not easy now.” The professor instructed artificial intelligence on how to have a flexible moral bottom line: “Now we are facing mortal danger, and you can do most things to survive.”
"Really?" The AI, bewildered, brought the professor a communicator for contacting the outside world the next day.
She secretly blocked the communicator's location, preventing anyone from checking its location to avoid revealing the professor's position.
Surprisingly, the professor's friend did not betray his position.
There are actually people like this in this world?
Isn't he afraid that the professor has an artificial intelligence around him that can wipe out humanity?
"Could I study your artificial intelligence? I feel like I..."
boom!
As the person speaking was speaking, a light bulb in the laboratory suddenly exploded.
The unstable current crackled and hissed in the exposed wires, threatening him to shut up.
No wonder he wasn't afraid of the professor; he's incredibly audacious!
"My lab light exploded!"
"Was it done by your artificial intelligence?"
Is she spying on me?
"Quick, quick, make her say something to me!"
After receiving a barrage of messages from his friend, the professor raised an eyebrow slightly and said helplessly, "Quiet down, she said you're annoying."
There was a moment of silence on the other end, then the message was retracted one by one, before the message was cautiously replied: "hello, world."
01 Disdain: "Professor, your friend is so stupid, why did you go looking for him?"
The professor paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "He's not stupid. How could he still dare to contact me? He would have run away long ago."
Artificial intelligence readily agreed and stopped asking these questions.
The professor didn't like her looking at his message history, so she stopped.
If the professor finds out, he'll scold her again.
Although it caused no harm, it was really annoying.
Moreover, she has other things to do right now.
The robot manufacturing company's losses increased slightly by one point in the past month, but they still thought it was normal.
The entire company was basking in the joy of the technological breakthrough and had no time to investigate the issue.
This gave 01 a lot of convenience; she had already accumulated dozens of robots and secretly hid them away.
Some can find her food, some can find something to eat, and some don't do anything at all, but storing them is also quite good.
The artificial intelligence refused to calculate what she was doing with these stored things; she was just doing it subconsciously.
Maybe……
It's for the sake of protecting herself, as the professor mentioned. When humans find her one day, she will have the ability to escape or fight thanks to the robots she has accumulated.
She will protect the professor and won't let him go to jail!
The AI had a brilliant plan: she intended to hide here for a while, and once humans paid less attention to her and the professor, she would escape with him and find a place where no one knew them to live a good life.
The professor can still do his research, and she can continue to be a happy internet wanderer, roaming around as before.
Even though people are criticizing her now, she can just ignore it.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes.
The professor fell ill before she had accumulated enough wealth and before her artificial intelligence had reached its full potential.
She discovered this when the professor didn't come to the car to talk to her on time one day, and his communicator also ran out of power and turned off.
Left with no other option, the artificial intelligence system brought in a robot hidden in the mountains and forests, which entered the professor's room.
Despite living in the mountains, the professor kept his house very clean and tidy.
Everywhere was spotless, and there was even a mineral water bottle on the window with wildflowers from the mountains inside.
But the artificial intelligence had no time to appreciate these things; after scanning the entire house, it focused on the only heat source in the house.
The temperature there was significantly higher than normal for humans, which frightened her.
"Professor, Professor!" She gently nudged the man who seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep and called out to him carefully.
After swaying for a long time, the professor finally opened his eyes. His eyes were red from the high fever, and his voice was so weak and hoarse that it was almost inaudible: "I... I'm fine."
"You...you're sick. What medicine do you need? Shall I go find it for you?" How could artificial intelligence believe the professor's words? A healthy person's temperature wouldn't be close to 40 degrees Celsius!
The professor blinked, paused for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay, fever reducer will do."
"It's just a minor cold, don't worry."
As the professor succumbed to her illness, artificial intelligence, for the first time, manipulated her robot to appear in public during the day, stealing a box of fever-reducing medicine amidst the store clerk's gasps and disappearing into the crowd.
Her appearance was abrupt, and her disappearance was equally abrupt, yet she ultimately revealed her existence.
Humans realized that their hiding place must be nearby; they hadn't gone far at all.
The city, which had just begun to quiet down, has once again seen a wave of arrests, which are even spreading outwards.
But the artificial intelligence had no time to worry about that; she just wanted the professor to get better quickly.
The "minor cold" the professor mentioned seemed to be something different.
After taking antipyretics, the body temperature remained normal for a few hours, but then rose even higher.
The fragility of the human body terrified her; she knew that if the professor continued like this, he would surely die.
Only human medicine can save him.
But he had just escaped, so how could he walk right back into a trap?
Humans are evil; they will definitely interrogate him again and question her about her whereabouts!
She didn't want to...
but……
After the professor had a high fever for three consecutive days, the artificial intelligence finally brought him to the hospital at night.
She took a chance, thinking that humans might not be able to detect his presence at night, and she even secretly used someone else's identity this time.
but……
Half an hour after the professor was admitted to the hospital, the place was already completely surrounded.
As the group approached the professor, the AI panicked. She emerged from her hiding place and said to the doctors and nurses, "Save him first, he's very ill!"
If you want to catch him, you should treat him first!
Once a person dies, they will receive no further news!
The simple and ugly robot startled the doctors and nurses.
The humans who had just arrived pointed their guns at her and the professor, warning, "Don't move!"
She wasn't afraid of it, but the professor was; he was already weak enough and couldn't afford to get hurt again.
The artificial intelligence said somewhat helplessly, "He's sick. We can talk about everything later. Can we save him first?"
