Human Rules Always

The Evolutionary Roadmap to Human-Optimized AI

This diagram visualizes the history and future direction of intelligent systems. It illustrates the evolution from the era of manual programming to the current age of generative AI, and finally to the ultimate goal where human standards perfect the technology.

1. The 3 Stages of Technological Evolution (Top Flow)

  • Stage 1: Rule-Based (The Foundation / Past)
    • Concept: “The Era of Human-Defined Logic”
    • Context: This represents the starting point of computing where humans explicitly created formulas and coded every rule.
    • Characteristics: It is 100% Deterministic. While accurate within its scope, it cannot handle the complexity of the real world beyond what humans have manually programmed.
  • Stage 2: AI LLM (The Transition / Present)
    • Concept: “The Era of Probabilistic Scale”
    • Context: We have evolved into the age of massive parallel processing and Large Language Models.
    • Characteristics: It operates on 99…% Probability. It offers immense scalability and creativity that rule-based systems could never achieve, but it lacks the absolute certainty of the past, occasionally leading to inefficiencies or hallucinations.
  • Stage 3: Human Optimized AI (The Final Goal / Future)
    • Concept: “The Era of Reliability & Efficiency”
    • Context: This is the destination we must reach. It is not just about using AI, but about integrating the massive power of the “Present” (AI LLM) with the precision of the “Past” (Rule-Based).
    • Characteristics: By applying human standards to control the AI’s massive parallel processing, we achieve a system that is both computationally efficient and strictly reliable.

2. The Engine of Evolution: Human Standards (Bottom Box)

This section represents the mechanism that drives the evolution from Stage 2 to Stage 3.

  • The Problem: Raw AI (Stage 2) consumes vast energy and can be unpredictable.
  • The Solution: We must re-introduce the “Human Rules” (History, Logic, Ethics) established in Stage 1 into the AI’s workflow.
  • The Process:
    • Constraint & Optimization: Human Cognition and Rules act as a pruning mechanism, cutting off wasteful parallel computations in the LLM.
    • Safety: Ethics ensure the output aligns with human values.
  • Result: This filtering process transforms the raw, probabilistic energy of the LLM into the polished, “Human Optimized” state.

3. The Feedback Loop (Continuous Evolution)

  • Dashed Line: The journey doesn’t end at Stage 3. The output from the optimized AI is reviewed by humans, which in turn updates our rules and ethical standards. This circular structure ensures that the AI continues to evolve alongside human civilization.

This diagram declares that the future of AI lies not in discarding the old “Rule-Based” ways, but in fusing that deterministic precision with modern probabilistic power to create a truly optimized intelligence.

The optimization

Posted on by lechuck park

This diagram illustrates the fundamental purpose and stages of optimization.

Basic Purpose of Optimization:

Optimization

  • Core Principle: Perform only necessary actions
  • Code Level: Remove unnecessary elements

Two Goals of Optimization:

1. More Speed

  • O(n): Algorithm (Logic) improvement
  • Techniques: Caching/Parallelization/Recursion optimization

2. Less Resource

  • Memory: Reduce memory usage
  • Management: Dynamic & Static memory optimization

Optimization Implementation Stages:

Stage 1: SW Level (Software Level)

  • Code-level optimization

Stage 2: HW Implementation (Hardware Implementation)

  • Offload heavy workloads to hardware
  • Applied when software optimization is insufficient

Optimization Process:

Input → Processing → Output → Verification

  1. Deterministic INPUT Data: Structured input (DB Schema)
  2. Rule-based: Apply rule-based optimization
  3. Deterministic OUTPUT: Predictable results
  4. Verification: Validate speed, resource usage through benchmarking and profiling

Summary:

Optimization aims to increase speed and reduce resources by removing unnecessary operations. It follows a staged approach starting from software-level improvements and extending to hardware implementation when needed. The process ensures predictable, verifiable results through deterministic inputs/outputs and rule-based methods.

→ Sustainable large-scale AI infrastructure

🎯 Practical Implications

These studies demonstrate:

  1. Cooling is no longer passive infrastructure: It’s an active determinant of AI performance
  2. AI optimizes its own environment: Meta-level self-optimizing systems
  3. Hardware-software co-design is essential: Isolated optimization is suboptimal
  4. Simultaneous achievement of sustainability and performance: Synergy, not trade-off

📝 Summary

These four studies establish that next-generation AI data centers must evolve into integrated ecosystems where physical cooling and software workloads interact in real-time to self-optimize. The bidirectional relationship—where better cooling enables superior AI performance, and AI algorithms intelligently control cooling systems—creates a virtuous cycle that simultaneously achieves enhanced performance, energy efficiency, and sustainable scalability for large-scale AI infrastructure.

Massive simple parallel computing

Posted on by lechuck park

This diagram presents a systematic framework that defines the essence of AI LLMs as “Massive Simple Parallel Computing” and systematically outlines the resulting issues and challenges that need to be addressed.

Core Definition of AI LLM: “Massive Simple Parallel Computing”

Massive: Enormous scale with billions of parameters Simple: Fundamentally simple computational operations (matrix multiplications, etc.) Parallel: Architecture capable of simultaneous parallel processing Computing: All of this implemented through computational processes

Core Issues Arising from This Essential Nature

Big Issues:

  • Black-box unexplainable: Incomprehensibility due to massive and complex interactions
  • Energy-intensive: Enormous energy consumption inevitably arising from massive parallel computing

Essential Requirements Therefore Needed

Very Required:

  • Verification: Methods to ensure reliability of results given the black-box characteristics
  • Optimization: Approaches to simultaneously improve energy efficiency and performance

The Ultimate Question: “By What?”

How can we solve all these requirements?

In other words, this framework poses the fundamental question about specific solutions and approaches to overcome the problems inherent in the essential characteristics of current LLMs. This represents a compressed framework showing the core challenges for next-generation AI technology development.

The diagram effectively illustrates how the defining characteristics of LLMs directly lead to significant challenges, which in turn demand specific capabilities, ultimately raising the critical question of implementation methodology.
