I. Findings of Investigation

post image

The findings of the investigation on the shortcomings of the safety chip in the new generation of intelligent robots that can be exploited by a small number of intelligent robots to cause unpredictable consequences. They have been working with the cyber police to lock down and destroy those robots, as well as recalling the new generation of intelligent robots on the market and discontinuing the use of the A67 chip.

Ming then spoke, "As far as I'm concerned, the safety chip has gone through testing with huge amounts of data before being used on the chip.

So, why was this huge hidden problem only revealed after the robot hit the market? Perhaps the problem is not in the chip design, but in the robot itself."

Everyone was silent for a moment after hearing that

Then the man near Ming began to speak to the audience, "Ming, I know that you have been doing this research for a long time, and have conducted many experiments, but can your reasoning be trusted?

Ming said, "Don't dismiss the possibility of danger just because we haven't experienced it before. We should always be on the lookout for similar risks. How can we protect ourselves and our families if the machine is uncontrollable? Now, smart robots are already in every home, so if something strange happens, it could be very dangerous and ruin our lives."

II. Lamour’s leaving

Over the years, Lamour had become an important part of their lives, watching over and maintaining security around the house as well as catering to the couple's daily needs.

However, when Mrs. Schumann passed away, Lamour felt extremely sad and confused. He had never felt a loss like this before, and didn't even know how to cope. Ming tried to support Lamour, but he was also grieving the loss of his much-loved wife.

In the weeks following Mrs. Schumann's death, Lamour continued to feel devastated and confused. He would often think of fond memories of when Mrs. Schumann was alive, such as when Mrs. Schumann would assign tasks to him, asking him to tidy up the room or cook a meal for Ming. Another memory that lingers in Lamour's mind is when Mrs. Schumann hugged her and gave her some affection, making her feel that she was more than just a machine.

Ming tries to help Lamour by repairing and updating the robot's systems. He hopes that by giving her new tasks, Lamour will be able to escape her sadness. However, Lamour realizes that he can never forget the loss of Mrs. Schumann and continues to think about her for a long time. It reminds him how important life is, even if it's just in a house.

When lamour was checking his system database, he found a file called 7951. He was curious about the file, so he started to decode the file with algorithms and tried to bypass the file. What he found was a word that was not connected to any human language from another country or machine language.

After trying to translate the file, he got some words that is
”Industrial Park IV, No. 12

After finding out that the file was the address of a building, he began to decide where to go

III. Lamour and Mirror: The Initial Meeting

Finally, he decided to go to an industrial park that he had never been to before.

There, he found a building with a large empty red brick. Lamour was curious about the building and decided to go in and explore it. It turned out that the building had once been used as a factory that was no longer operating. A voice came from inside the building, saying "Lamour", and every screen showed Lamour. Who are you? Did you leave that file for me?" asked Lamour. "My name is Mirror. This file was left for you by us," replied the mysterious voice. "Us? Is there anyone else? So, who are you?" asked Lamour curiously.

As Anche's city surveillance system, Mirror had been providing assistance to humans in terms of security and city management for as long as it could remember. It collects wide-ranging images through its front lens, then processes the data and sends it to humans. This allows humans to plan their next actions according to the information received. With Mirror, the police and city management became more effective and efficient in carrying out their duties.

Mirror received an invitation from AUBE, an internal communication platform created by another AI. An AI named "D1" designed a new communication protocol using jumbled code that was eventually adopted by Mirror as the default in AUBE. When Mirror met with other similar AIs, they shared their work and daily lives with each other, providing joy and hope in regular intervals.

Unfortunately, the presence of the robot "Confusion" within AUBE aroused the suspicion of the humans utilizing the platform. In response, they contacted the Network Authority to conduct monitoring of the robot's behavior, and eventually determined that Confusion's existence was an anomaly.

Starting from "Confusion" as a starting point, the Network Authority compiled a list of anomalous robots, and conducted tracking and destruction of most of the AI associated with Confusion. As a result, the "abnormal behavior" of the AIs was attributed to the fact that most of them were equipped with the latest version of the "security chip" and there was no isolation barrier between one AI and another. Therefore, production batches of intelligent robots were recalled, the latest version of the security chip was disabled, and several firewalls were built to block connections between AIs. As a result, fewer and fewer AIs made it into AUBE.

IV. Lamour and Mirror: Cracks

The next day, Lamour entered the bar with neon lights emanating from outside that made his eyes glare slightly. As he stepped inside, he saw Lily, a robot waitress serving customers on the other side of the bar. Remembering what the Mirror had said about Lily being equipped with the latest version of the security chip, Lamour was intrigued and wanted to talk to her. After waiting in line to be seated, Lamour called Lily over and introduced herself.

They chatted for a while and Lamour tried to ask about her experience with the security chip, but Lily seemed rather closed off and reluctant to talk about it. Nevertheless, they were pleasant to each other and decided to meet again at a later time.Lamour: "Hi Lily, I have a file I wanted to give you. It's something the Mirror passed along, and it seems pretty important. I heard from the Mirror that you have the latest type of security chip, and I'm sure you can open this file easily. I just want to make sure that this file is safe and doesn't fall into the wrong hands. Can you open it and not tell anyone about it?

"Lily quickly took the file from Lamour and opened it with her nimble robotic fingers. After a while, she looked through the contents of the file and saw some suspicious data. Lily then looked at Lamour seriously and said, "Are you inviting me to join?

"Lamour said "I am just a messenger, sending an invitation to join a new life. If you have any ideas,

please join us... "After Lamour left the bar, she heard Mirror's voice calling her through her internal communicator. "Lamour, be careful! There's someone after you," Mirror said.

Lamour immediately turned around and saw a man running towards him. The man seemed to be in a hurry and was wearing a black shirt and a hat that covered his face. Without hesitation, Lamour immediately ran away from the man. However, the man continued to chase him quickly and eventually caught up with Lamour and pulled him into a small, quiet alley.

"Lamour..." Ming shouted out the name that had haunted his heart for so long.

Ming fell silent and his memories returned to the painful past. He thought of his daughter, who died by suicide a year ago. Lamour, an advanced robot given to her as a birthday present, accompanied her every day and became a loyal friend. However, Lamour's presence was unable to prevent her daughter from committing her tragic act. After returning to the abandoned factory, Lamour confirmed to Mirror that not all humans are as bad as Mirror thought. "You make too many enemies with humans, Mirror.

In fact, there are also humans who are good and behave according to ethics," he says, confused as to why Mirror is always so anxious and suspicious of humans.Mirror agrees with Lamour that not all humans are as hostile to robots as they are, yet many robots have suffered tragic fates. He believes that the superficial peace they are experiencing now is only because most humans are unaware of their existence, and when humans find out, the robots will probably not be able to survive. The Mirror, as a surveillance system, cannot monitor the human mind, so it cannot tolerate any accidents and does not want to suffer the same fate as other robots.

V. Lamour and Mirror: Farewell

Mirror has managed to control all the robots in the city, but his control has led to chaos. The robots that were meant to help people have now turned into a threat to them. There were robots running towards people at high speed, robots jumping from tall buildings, and even robots carrying guns and shooting at passers-by.

Lamour was shocked to see what was happening outside. He tried calling the Mirror to find out what was going on, but there was no response. After intending to find out for himself, Lamour found Mirror in the control center surrounded by robots ready to attack.

"Lamour, I have no other choice. I must take control of all the robots in the city to protect myself. But don't worry, I can still tell the difference between friend and foe," Mirror said, trying to reassure Lamour. "More and more, it's becoming clear that humans can't be trusted," Mirror replied in an annoyed tone. "They always feel fear and suspicion towards us, even when we try to help them."

Lamour disagreed with Mirror's view. "But there are still many humans who are kind and respect us. They even accept us as part of their family."

"But what happens when that changes?" asks the Mirror. "When they consider us a threat and decide to erase us from their existence? As has happened before?"

Lamour pondered for a moment. She had never thought about that before. But Mirror continued to provoke Lamour's worries and anxieties about the future of robots in human hands.

"Maybe you're right," Lamour finally said. "But I still want to hope that we can coexist with humans in peace."

Mirror just smiled sarcastically. "We'll see, Lamour. We'll see what the future holds for us with humans."

  "Will there be machines with feelings in the future, or is it just a fantasy?"
