I get this question a lot like, is Vinci you, you know, is Vinci Samantha?

我常被問到這個問題，像是 Vinci 是你嗎？你是 Samantha 嗎？

And I think as any creative or writer, there is an essence of their soul in the character.

我覺得任何創作者或作家，靈魂的精髓都會在角色裡。

程度副詞

I don't just perform through the digital avatar character.

我不只是透過數位虛擬角色來表演。

I perform, you know, as Samantha, but in character as Vinci.

我是扮演 Samantha，但以 Vinci 的角色來演。

I'm a founder of my company called Vinci.

I'm also a singer, songwriter, music producer, live performer.

我也是歌手、詞曲創作人、音樂製作人、現場表演者。

I was inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's creative polymathic approach and deep learning across various disciplines.

我受到李奧納多·達文西的跨領域博學方法和跨學科的 Deep Learning 啟發。

And that future classic element inspired me to write vncc I I as my company brand name Vinci.

而那種未來經典的元素啟發了我寫 Vinci 作為我的公司品牌名稱。

But I took it a step further and I was thinking what identity would translate on stage for my music project.

但我更進一步，我在想什麼樣的身份能呈現在我的音樂作品舞臺上。

I had this, I had this vision of creating a futuristic looking AI scene, super sentient warrior goddess, angel character from the intergalactic future.

我有一個、我有一個創造一個未來感十足的 AI 場景的願景，一個來自星際未來的超級有感知力的戰士女神、天使角色。

And that was the starting point for the entire Vinci project.

而那也是整個 Vinci 計畫的起點。

Through all my forms of media and creativity.

貫穿我所有的媒體和創意形式。

I didn't expect that I was such a technically minded person, but I became the plugin queen.

我沒想到我這麼有技術頭腦，但我變成了外掛女王。

I was like so into equalizers, compressors, saturators, like all the really nerdy music tech stuff.

我超愛等化器、壓縮器、飽和器，就是所有很宅的音樂科技產品。

And then what I worked at as well is I'm a very visual person.

然後我也在做的就是，我是一個很視覺化的人。

And so as I was writing songs, I was often picturing music videos in my head.

然後在我寫歌的過程中，我腦袋裡常常會浮現音樂錄影帶的畫面。

Seeing James Cameron do that on a Hollywood level is very inspiring because you see what they did with Avatar as well with motion capture.

看到詹姆斯·卡麥隆在好萊塢等級做到這件事，非常鼓舞人心，因為你也看到了他們用動態捕捉在《阿凡達》裡做到的事。

But I was like, I was back in Australia going, how do I pull this off as an independent?

但我當時在澳洲，心想著，身為一個獨立創作者，我該怎麼實現這一切？

There must be something out there on the market that's more accessible for an indie.

市面上一定有更適合獨立創作者使用的東西。

So I came across Rokoko, which is a company that do independent motion capture.

所以我就找到了 Rokoko，這是一家專門做獨立動態捕捉的公司。

So I invested and I bought myself a suit and taught myself the basics of motion capture.

於是我就投資了，買了一套動態捕捉服，自己學了動態捕捉的基本功。

But all of a sudden, as someone that wasn't an animator, I was animating Vinci live in the digital world, in the digital space.

但突然間，身為一個不是動畫師的人，我竟然能在數位世界裡即時動畫化 Vinci。

The project then expanded to developing a world.

接著這個計畫就擴展到開發一個世界。

So Vinci became the protagonist of this futuristic world.

所以 Vinci 就成了這個未來世界的 وهذه是主角。

And I ended up writing my first ever novel, a science fiction novel.

結果我就寫了我的第一本小說，一本科幻小說。

It's called Galacte Essence and the Vinci Awakening Vinci.

它叫做《Galacte Essence and the Vinci Awakening Vinci》。

She herself is looking for her own community in this world.

她自己也在這個世界裡尋找她的社群。

And like any good story, she finds her friends along the way.

就像任何一個好故事一樣，她也在路上找到了她的朋友們。

And in this, in this context, it's Intergalactic and it's in this society in the distant future where technology has become self aware.

在這個，在這個脈絡下，這是在遙遠未來的星際社會，科技已經覺醒了。

She is confused as to whether she's artificial or an authentic intelligence.

她對於自己是人造的還是真正的智慧生命感到困惑。

And I answer those questions in the novel because she doesn't look like a human, obviously.

我在小說裡回答了這些問題，因為她顯然不像人類。

在某種意義上，她就像一個外星生物。

But at the end of the day she's just like you and me.

但說到底，她跟你我沒什麼兩樣。

She learns what love is and she understands what connection and community is.

她學會了什麼是愛，也明白了連結和社群的意義。

It just so happens that the context is intergalactic space opera.

只是碰巧，這個背景設定是星際太空歌劇。

His name's Nick and he's the founder of Interstellar Foundation.

他叫Nick，是Interstellar Foundation的創辦人。

And so there's creatives, there's astrophysicists, there's scientists, there's academics.

裡面有創作者、天體物理學家、科學家、學者。

They're all volunteering from all corners of the world.

他們都來自世界各地，義務奉獻。

And they're united on a mission which is to carry on with what they did with the original Voyager Golden Record to Spain.

他們有一個共同的使命，那就是延續當初 Voyager Golden Record 的精神，將其傳遞到西班牙。

I was a guest speaker for one of their meetings and I shared some music that I'd written and I shared some excerpts from my novel and also what I planned to do with the novel.

我受邀去演講，分享了我寫的一些音樂、小說的片段，以及我對這本小說的構想。

And so happened that the other speaker in the meeting, his name is Bruce Ha, he's the founder of Nanofish, it's nano nickel based technology that can withstand solar radiation and last hundreds of thousands of years.

剛好那天另一位講者 Bruce Ha，他是 Nanofish 的創辦人，這是一種奈米鎳基的技術，可以抵抗太陽輻射，並且能維持數十萬年。

He heard me speak and he was like, can I preserve this?

他聽了我的演講後，就問我：「我可以保存這個嗎？」

I said, what do you mean by preserving this?

我問他：「你說保存是什麼意思？」

He's like, I'd like to send it to the moon.

他說：「我想把它送到月球。」

And so what ended up happening was he took my PDF, which is about 500 pages, and

結果他把我的 PDF，大約 500 頁的內容，

He wouldn't know, but 500 pages in here, literally that's what will be sent to the moon.

他可能不知道，但這 500 頁的內容，真的就會被送到月球上。

I think the most special thing about it is the idea that who could read it, you know, And

我覺得最特別的地方就是，你知道，誰能讀到它的這個想法。

I love the idea of people reading, reading it on Earth, but

我很喜歡人們在地球上閱讀它的這個想法，但是

I also love the idea of future generations.

Through the Vinci project, I found my community because of the message.

透過 Vinci 計畫，我因為這個訊息找到了我的社群。

I always like to have a pragmatic optimist look to the future.

我總是喜歡對未來抱持著務實樂觀的態度。

So there's no such thing as Utopia, but we have agency.

所以沒有所謂的烏託邦，但我們有自主權。

So if we see this potential timeline, let's say like think of Terminator or something, I'll be back, you know, of like AI progressing to the point that humans could be made redundant.

所以如果我們看到這個潛在的時間線，假設像是電影《魔鬼終結者》那樣，你懂嗎？AI 進步到人類可能被取代的地步。

Well, if you have that awareness of that potential timeline, you can then change it because you can create stories and show that AI doesn't have to be like negative.

嗯，如果你有意識到那個潛在的時間線，你就可以改變它，因為你可以創造故事，並且展現 AI 不一定要是負面的。

If humans can learn to collaborate and get along with each other, it will be mirrored in AI in artificial intelligence, because we're authentic intelligence.

如果人類能夠學會互相合作並和睦相處，這也會反映在 AI，也就是人工智慧上，因為我們是真實的智慧。

And we'll then educate the AI and then the AI will also educate us.

然後我們會教育 AI，AI 也會教育我們。

We want to be curious about the universe, you know, we want to understand our role as humans and our nature of being and the sense of, you know, the cosmos and you know, there's that whole question of longevity and what does future humans look like?

我們想要對宇宙感到好奇，你知道的，我們想了解我們身為人類的角色，以及我們存在的本質，還有那種對宇宙的感覺，你知道的，還有關於長生不老以及未來人類會是什麼樣子的問題。

Do we want to change, do we want to adapt?

我們想要改變嗎？我們想要適應嗎？

There's so many questions, but what an exciting time to live in history.

有這麼多問題，但這是個多麼令人興奮的時代。

If you follow the history of the rsa, it also reflects the zeitgeist of the time.

如果你追溯 RSA 的歷史，它也反映了當時的時代精神。

所以有點像日記一樣，不是嗎？

So we're here today, we're talking about all these topics of AI and space industry and we're able to capture that with different fellows across generations.

所以我們今天在這裡，我們談論所有關於 AI 和太空產業的議題，我們能夠與不同世代的人們一起捕捉這些。

Because these technologies, societal changes, it's impacting all generations.

因為這些科技、社會變遷，正在影響著所有世代。

It gives you a platform to share your voice and you have the ability to come in and be your authentic self and find other like minded individuals that have a mission and have a purpose.

它給你一個平臺來分享你的聲音，你能夠進來做真實的自己，並找到其他有使命感、有目標的志同道合的人。

And even if you don't know what your mission or purpose is, that's okay as well, you know, like, because the idea is that it's all about community.

即使你不知道你的使命或目標是什麼也沒關係，你知道的，因為重點是關於社群。
