Nanny System

Jiang Hao readily tried out the capabilities of the security system and was left wondering what happened to not strengthening Mia any further.

While Mia was anchored to his phone thanks to the ability 'Closed Setup', she was still everywhere thanks to her own ability 'Swarm Presence'.

It's like a house arrest for a shady business. The boss might not necessarily be needed for the normal running of the business, but may do all the managing from home. Hell, it might even make the business better since there are fewer distractions.

Mia was also the same. Since she could not separate her 'self' from the phone and Jiang Hao, she was better off working on improving her awareness and networks.

With the security system, she could now effortlessly monitor the more than 20 billion mobile devices in the world. Add that to her ability to communicate to any device, her reach has expanded to 70+ billion devices worldwide.

That is insane.

The bitter thing is that she no longer even required resources from the phone to do all this.

Just use distributed cloud computing and edge computing and she could mobilize the computational power of the 70 billion devices at will. And this had been increasing ever since the revolution started.

Yes, it is a revolution.

Jiang Hao completely overturned the way things worked with his zero secrets policy and the resources and power that Ouroboros availed to the people.

Something like Study Aide took the concept of empowering people quite literally. Knowledge is power and the platform made it available in the most convenient way imaginable.

As long as you could listen or read, Study Aide could teach you something.

Jiang Hao stopped thinking about it too much.

Mia was his own people. If there was no stopping her, just make her more dependent.

As for how to do that, well, wouldn't be easy to always be a step ahead in terms of technology and resources? Add that to the fact that he could revoke the enhancements at any time…

Jiang Hao moved to the next location and studied one of the most complicated system the house had.

The smart home management system or the nanny system for short.

The nanny system was quite straightforward in its role of taking care of the needs of the household, but the sub-systems needed to do this were quite complicated and numerous.

This system covered everything and its importance was clear at a glance.

Jiang Hao was not stingy with the enhancement. +6 guarantee enhancement.

Jiang Hao looked at the first three enhancements and he no longer had any idea of what to expect from this system.

In his view, a nanny system that could already do the housekeeping was too advanced. This too brought forward another problem.

The system was indeed capable, but the hardware was not. It further revealed the importance of robots.

Jiang Hao suddenly felt lucky that he had asked Yang Zhao to prepare a robotics lab in a weeks time. There were no robots in the market that could handle this level of complexity.

As for robotics institutions already in the market, well… they all closed down thanks to a certain someone.

Investors are very realistic on this one.

Ouroboros has already conquered AI and it is only logical that they work on robotics. With their expertise and technical advantage, it is only natural to be eons ahead in the robotics field, so invest there or don't invest at all.

And even if we take a step back, all research results would likely be posted on Study Aide before patents even make it through the process. Nobody wants to invest in something with zero returns.

This applied to almost all fields. It's just that Mia is holding down the fort by doing the research herself if need be.

Something like pharmacology is easy to master after a while. Add to that the fact that she was paying experts to contribute, and we suddenly have a very open and fast-moving research community that is not hindered by interests or lack of resources.

Of course, there are problems, but Jiang Hao did not mind them. This is a revolution. Some will rise while others will fall, as for who will land where it all depends on adaptability.

"…"

These abilities… seemed to be more powerful than even Mia's.

Housekeeping did just what it said. Chore management took care of chores, and Home maintenance & repairs ensured that the house was always at its best. That was still easy to accept.

Hospitality & catering is mainly for guests. Receive them, entertain them, serve them well, and accommodate them. The by-the-book things. Well, it does get rather deep when you learn that a system could sing, tell stories, and even actively play games but it was still acceptable.

Smart Butler is more like an AI but not an AI?! It is more like virtual intelligence. Very intelligent but very restricted to Managing the house, financing house expenses, and accounting for everything in the house.

The only thing that surprised Jiang Hao was that the smart butler could do these things more thoroughly than Mia. But she learned it in a picosecond so… still acceptable.

The other three enhancements were what made him feel like the nanny system was no longer 'simple'.

Conditioning took the living environment very seriously. Jiang Hao would have never thought that a system would be responsible for maintaining his mood, let alone taking measures to adjust and optimize it.

The intelligence needed to set a mode or vibe through lightning, music, humidity, temperature, timing… is insane. Even Mia could not do it. Well, now she can to some extent.

Encyclopedic Knowledge on the other hand completely 'defeated' Mia.

Something like adaptive learning enabled the system to learn things as it encountered them. If ever there was a problem it could not solve, the nanny system would 'learn' how to do it. It was still alright if the things learned were from the internet, but it could also learn things that are not on the internet.

Pretty good for developing intuitive Unmanned Driving and other dynamics AIs.

The things that defeated Mia are advanced intelligence and database.

Advanced intelligence has more to do with surveillance, monitoring, and analyzing the situation at home. The level of intuition and wisdom it could display was more than that of humans. The human brain also has limits and humans have limited energy. It is impossible to observe and handle everything. But this ability made that possible for the Nanny system.

Database created a personal knowledge system for the system effectively realizing the 'surpassing yourself' thing. The information on the internet is unreliable and sometimes inapplicable in certain situations. This database is for situations like this. Add it with 'adaptive learning' and Mia's digital and functional evolution and adaptation…

Jiang Hao could only lament for humans if there was ever an AI uprising.

Home systems… Jiang Hao did not know how to explain it.

Internal systems handled everything to do with internal home affairs including giving you a massage, doing makeup, and dressing you. Well, that is with the right hardware.

Just think of it like this; if you do it at home, it could too.

External systems deal with the relation and interaction of the 'home' with the external world. PR, shopping, dropping you and your family at school or work… everything.

Auxiliary systems on the other hand deal with things that fall outside house and home activities. This system mainly caters to the hobbies and interests of people.

How big a home must one have to fully use all the systems and abilities of the enhanced nanny system? The auxiliary systems ensured that the home did not turn into a systematic machine that was tedious and repetitive, making life even more stressful.

Jiang Hao liked how humane it appeared. Monetize it.
