From the iPhone personal assistant Siri, to doing searches on the Internet, to the autopilot function, simple artificial intelligence, or AI, has been around for some time, but is quickly getting more complex and more intelligent."If we are going to make systems that are going to be more intelligent than us, it’s absolutely essential for us to understand how to absolutely (1) that they only do things that we are happy with," said Stuart Russell.

Russell asked.New JobsGuruduth Banavar of sees a future in which new jobs such as data engineering will be created."The future will require everybody to work with these learning (3) machines. So I think the skill set for many of these jobs will end up being different in the future," Banavar said.Russell (4) that AI will change the economy and the current way of life."Most people will be employed, possibly even self-employed, in providing individualized personal services to other human beings, that we won't have mass employment in manufacturing or in financial services,” said Russell. “The kinds of (5) where there is a giant factory or a giant office building with thousands of people doing the same thing will go away."

AI can process huge (7) of data and have the most up-to-date research to help doctors diagnose and treat patients.IBM's Watson technology is already in hospitals in North and South America, Europe and Asia."The different between going to a doctor who has Watson versus not having Watson is very big, because when you go to a doctor today you might find somebody who is 10 years out of date," said Banavar.Autonomous Weapons But there is also a dangerous side of artificial intelligence -- autonomous weapons out of drone technology ."The risk with autonomous weapons is that people will use them as a kind of poor man's weapon of mass destruction - a poor man's nuclear weapon," said Russell.Russell says the international community need to create (8) to ban autonomous weapons."It is a race against time because the weapons are starting to (9) , the research is moving into development, development is moving into production," Russell said.
Impact on Society
While it is up for debate whether artificial intelligence will hurt or benefit mankind, researchers say, it is a fact that the technology is and will continue to transform many (10) of life.
小伙伴们,我觉得语言的学习贵在坚持和积累,量变会引起质变的,厚积薄发,记得去年在3个月内完成雅思和GRE考试,并均一次性通过,当然我觉得我很幸运,但我相信这分运气绝不偶然,是长期的积累和努力遇到了运气,从而才得到了比较好的结果。我想用我自己的切身经历和经验告诉大家,只要坚持就有进步,人生旅途是很慢长的过程,不可能一帆风顺,难免有起起落落,但我想说的是,即便处在人生低谷的时候,也不要轻言放弃,只要坚定信念,做好长期备战的准备,持之以恒,你会收获最终的成功。NEVER SAY NEVER !!!
