Passage 031- 人工智能对人类的利与弊
From a personal assistant, to doing searches on the Internet, to the autopilot（自动驾驶）function, simple artificial
intelligence, or AI, has been around for some time, but it’s quickly getting more complex and more intelligent.
Computer science professor Stuart Russell says, many present jobs that are labor intensive, or require data analysis, such
as in the financial industry, will be replaced by machines with artificial intelligence. “The future will require everybody to
work with these learning reasoning machines. So I think the skill set for many of these jobs will end up being different in the
future.”
Russell envisions（预见）that AI will change the economy and the current way of life. Artificial intelligence is already
transforming the health care industry. AI can process huge amounts of data and have the most up-to-date research to help
doctors diagnose（诊断）and treat patients. IBM’s Watson technology is already in the hospitals in North and South America,
Europe and Asia.
But there is also a dangerous side of artificial intelligence—autonomous（自主性的）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.”
Russell says the international community needs to create treaties（法规）to ban this type of weapon.
