《學過、無學過、不用學、學一半》– 第一章

20 April 2023

在近幾個月，科技界發生了兩件令人矚目的事情。

第一件，根據英國《金融時報》報道，一個與AlphaGo同級的AI軟件被一位美國的非頂級業餘圍棋棋手佩爾林 (Kellin Pelrine) 戰勝了。他在15場與 AI 的對弈中勝出了14場，戰果令人難以置信。 AlphaGo是一個在2014年於英國開發的人工智能圍棋軟件，它在2016年的多場公開對弈中，連敗多名世界頂級的圍棋高手，風頭一時無兩。韓國圍棋第三代掌門人「不敗少年」，「殭屍流」高手李世乭與之對弈，五局四輸，3年後，以「人類無法擊敗AI」為由宣布退休。

然而，7年後的今天，人類反擊成功了。根據報道，佩爾林一邊包圍敵棋，另一邊則在其他角落下子，用以分散AI的注意力。縱使自己的主力已經差不多被包圍了，AI卻始終不能洞悉佩爾林的計策，最後終至落敗。佩爾林事後說，其實這種策略是非常容易被人類發現的，它並非一個非常高深的策略，一位中級棋士已經可以學懂並以之戰勝有關的圍棋軟件。

AlphaGo是一個使用強化學習來訓練的人工智能軟件。根據AI專家的分析，該軟件似乎只可以「明白」一些它以前經歷過 (即通過AI模型訓練來學習) 的情況，但佩爾林所使用的策略，卻是鮮為人所採，是以記錄不多，可供模型訓練的材料不足，最終使通過訓練來生成的AI軟件不能預知自己處境的危險，以致接連敗陣。

LSCM – David Chung

LSCM: Logistics and Supply Chain MultiTech R&D Centre in Hong Kong

Logistics and Supply Chain MultiTech R&D Centre (LSCM) is Hong Kong’s leading Centre of technology research and development (R&D) across numerous sectors, both public and private. Since its founding in 2006, LSCM has been dedicated to fostering technological innovation to enhance the efficiency in the logistics and supply chain industries.

The role of Logistics and Supply Chain MultiTech R&D Centre (LSCM) in Hong Kong and Beyond

Hong Kong is considered as one of the world’s leading logistics hubs. LSCM aims to reinforce this position through the continuous enhancement of technological facilities within areas of logistics, supply chain, artificial intelligence, and e-commerce, etc.

Always on the move, LSCM seeks to ensure Hong Kong keeps up on a global scale, cementing our place on the world stage as a progressive adopter of innovative technology. With an extensive range of projects developed over the years, LSCM nurtures ideas for growth not only in Hong Kong but also in Mainland China.

Facilitating Innovation Across Multiple Industries

To promote economic growth through heightened efficiency, LSCM has spurred the development of numerous cutting-edge technologies, including supply chain technology, robotics technology for logistics, and an AIoT Chinese Medicine dispensing and delivery system. These projects were undertaken to not only enhance efficiency, but also to provide effective solutions for the ageing problems across multiple industries in Hong Kong.

LSCM has a wealth of case studies in our database. These range from sophisticated virtual reality training modules to secure E-Lock system and E-Cheque Wallet applications, and many more. Our case studies showcase the impact of technology deployment on different sectors, demonstrating how a seemingly simple idea can transform the entire industry operations.

Future Development of Logistics and Supply Chain MultiTech R&D Centre (LSCM)

Moving forward, LSCM will work closely with the Government, academia and the industry in Hong Kong to continuously foster the development and adoption of technological innovations that address emerging supply chain and logistics challenges. As part of this effort, we prioritise building a community that focuses on collaboration to accelerate the progress.

To become part of our committed community of leading researchers and professionals, take a look at our membership program. There, you’ll discover various networking opportunities for your enterprise. Ranging from events for exposure and networking, through to cutting-edge researches for technology advancement, our membership program is the best way to enjoy LSCM’s extensive services.
