John D. Rockefeller once said, “The ability to deal with people is as purchasable a commodity (日用
品) as sugar or coffee. And I will pay more for t
hat ability than for any other under the sun. ”
Wouldn’t you suppose that every
college in the land would conduct courses to develop the high est-
priced ability under the sun? But if there was one, it would not escape my attention.
The University of Chicago conducted a survey to determine w hat adults want to study. That survey cost $ 25,000 and took t wo years. The last part of the survey was made in Meriden, C
onnecticut. It had been chosen as a typical American town. E very adult in Meriden was interviewed and requested to answ er 156 questions such as “What is your business or professio n? Your education? How do you spend your spare time? Wha t is your income? Your hobbies? Your ambitions? Your proble ms? What subjects are you most interested in studying?” and so on. That survey revealed that health is the prime interest of adults and that their second interest is people; how to unders tand and get along with people; how to make people like you; and how to win others to your way of thinking.
So the committee conducting this survey decided to conduct s uch a course for adults in Meriden. They searched for a practi cal textbook on the subject and found none. Finally they appr oached one of the world’s outstanding authorities on adult ed ucation and asked him if he knew of any book that met the ne eds of this group. “No,” he replied, “I know what those adults want. But the book they need has never been written.”
I knew from experience that this statement was true, for I mys elf had been searching for years to discover a practical handb ook on human relations. Since no such book existed, I have tr ied to write one for use in my own courses. And here it is. I ho pe you like it.

2017 was an influential year for artificial intelligence (人工智能), not just in terms of the advancement of the technology its elf, but also for the development of our understanding of AI’s i mpact on our society.
When we talk about AI, often we focus on the belief that it is g oing to take away certain types of jobs. However, we often ign ore the fact that this technology will also slowly spread into m ost of our lives.
Thanks to the development of AI, we are on the highway of IA , (human) intelligence augmentation (增

he parts of our job that are most important. But part of why AI is so attractive is also why it’s so dangerous. That is, that sam e power allows AI that are making inco
rrect decisions to do so with greater speed and impact than h umans have ever had.
This is why, as AI becomes more useful in 2018, it will also be come more closely examined. 2018 will be the year when co mpanies purchasing AI products don’t just ask about the pow er of AI—
they will make sure that it is tested carefully in advance, mini mizing their potential unexpected impact.

ctor” to explain that .
