Question

【题目】What is the future of AI (人工智能)? Will it be a good thing? We asked four students what they think.

I think AI (人工智能) will be more useful in our future lives. It’s now used in many : fields, like phones and medicine. No one really knows what will happen if machines become smarter than humans. However, I’m sure AI will help us solve many problems.

—Tina

I am worried that people create something that can be better than themselves. In the near future, AI will develop at a high speed. Humans may be replaced (取代) because AI robots will do lots of human jobs.

—Bill

I really think that AI will change the way we work, the way we live, and the way we think. Imagine if we could put a CPU (中央处理器) into our brains! Soon we’ll be able to improve our math and memory. How exciting!

—Mary

Think of what’s happening right now: Some robots are used to kill animals under human orders. So I think AI will be very dangerous for humans. We need to be careful about what we ask machines to do.

—John
