油腻丝英文一分钟-人工智能可能比火和电更重要

Last month, while speaking at a Recode and NBC-sponsored "town hall" in San Francisco, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said,

"AI is one of the most important things humanity is working on.

It is more profound than, I dunno, electricity or fire."

When questioned by moderator Kara Swisher, who said, "Fire? Fire is pretty good."

Pichai responded, "Well, it kills people, too.

We have learned to harness fire for the benefits of humanity, but we had to overcome its downsides, too.

So my point is, AI is really important, but we have to be concerned about it."

Pichai went on to elaborate on the potentially profound effect, both positive and negative, AI could have on humanity.

上个月在旧金山，由Recode网站和美国全国广播公司赞助的“市政”会议上，谷歌首席执行官桑达尔·皮查伊说:

“人工智能是人类正在研究的最重要的东西之一。

它可能比电或火更具有深刻意义。”

当主持人卡拉·斯威舍(Kara Swisher)问道:“火？火是很好的。”

皮查伊回答说:“嗯，它也会杀人。

我们已经学会了利用火来造福人类，但我们也必须克服它的缺点。

所以我的观点是，人工智能真的很重要，但我们必须关注它。”

皮查伊接着详细阐述了人工智能对人类潜在的，正反两方面的深远影响。
