Artificial Intelligence: A REAL THREAT 人工智能：真正的威胁？
In the words of Professor Stephen

AI might think we’re valuable enough to keep
可以留下来。如果不这样的话, 它

说到闲逛, 我希望自动驾驶 汽车能很快上市。我已经上了一 年多的驾驶课了, 可是还没有拿 到驾照。自动驾驶汽车可以像我 们一样学习驾驶, 并可以根据信 息做出判断。而且由于它们不会 受到人为失误的影响, 它们肯定 安全得多。唯一的问题是, 当第 一批车上市时, 学习自动驾驶技 术可能会出现一些问题, 所以或 许我最好先学会开车。不过, 我 确实认为, 总体而言, 人工智能 的发展将使做日常的事情变得更 加容易。
事实上是我们都没有准备 好迎接人工智能的挑战。
粉红色的烟雾
作为我们现代世界的一部 分, 机器学习是我们已经接受 的东西。我相信人工智能的大 部分价值在于它分析和解释大 量的数据的能力, 这意味着它 甚至可以解决人类专家难以解 决的问题。

然而, 尽管超级智能的人 工智能可能是人类历史上最大 的飞跃, 但如果它出错或落入 坏人之手, 它也可能是最危险 的。然而, 人工智能不会消失。 我们别无选择, 只能接受并管 理它。不过, 有一件事我想大 家都同意, 那就是说“这是我 的人工智能做的！”不会成为 任何违法或不道德行为的借口！

And speaking of hanging out, I’m hoping that self-driving cars are available soon. I’ve been taking driving lessons for over a year, and still haven’t got my licence. Self-driving cars can learn to drive in the same way that we do, and can make judgements based on information. And as they won’t be susceptible to human error, they’ll certainly be a lot safer. The only thing is that there might be a few machine-learning problems when the first cars hit the market, so perhaps I’d better learn to drive first. Still, I do think that developments in AI will on the whole make doing day-to-day things a lot easier.
human history, if it goes wrong or falls into the wrong hands, it could also be the most dangerous. However, AI is not going to go away. We have
no choice but to embrace it and regulate it. One thing I think we all agree on, though, is that saying “My AI did it!” won’t be any excuse for

The truth is that none of us is prepared for the challenges of AI.
Pink_ haze
Machine learning is something we have come to accept as a part of our modern world. I believe most of the value of AI lies in its capacity to analyse and interpret vast amounts of data, which means it can even solve problems that are too challenging for human experts.
可能会把我们都消灭！
