AI Awakener

"AI Awakening" is a hard-core science fiction novel based on the development history of modern artificial intelligence and thrilling business wars. The story begins in 2016, when the AI ​​​​wave emerged, when Lin Fan, a poor technical genius, and Qin Shuo, a business elite, jointly founded "Qiming Technology". However, as the company grew, their ideas gradually drifted apart: Lin Fan was obsessed with the safe, controllable and philanthropic nature of AI, while Qin Shuo believed in the iron laws of the market and capital, pursuing ultimate scale and speed. Eventually, the brothers broke up and went their separate ways. Lin Fan set up a separate company to focus on AI security research, which is regarded as the "dragon-slaying skill". He collaborated with the talented architect Su Rui and accidentally created a new type of AI "Prometheus" with a prototype of self-awareness and "empathic reasoning" as its core. At the same time, Qin Shuo's company was in danger during its aggressive expansion. It was even regarded as a pawn by the mysterious Internet godfather "Mentor" and fell into the quagmire of data leaks and public opinion storms. When the shadow of "mentors" shrouds the entire industry and attempts to take the power of future AI for itself, a multidimensional war breaks out in the digital space, the physical world, and the public opinion field. In this duel that determines the fate of mankind, what really changes the direction of the chess game is "Prometheus" itself, which shows that it transcends the human concept of victory and defeat and pursues the "balance" of the system. Eventually, the old empire collapsed and a new pattern was born. Qin Shuo built his pragmatist kingdom in real business, while Lin Fan and Su Rui established a global AI ethics and safety research institute to guard the boundaries of technology. The novel uses a grand narrative spanning decades to deeply explore the era of technological explosion.
