人工智能

人工智能在提升工作效率的同时，也对人类的道德决策产生深远影响。研究表明，AI更倾向于做出功利主义选择，缺乏人类特有的”温情”；而当人们通过AI进行互动时，其道德行为水平可能下降，更易欺骗他人。重要决策仍应由人类亲自参与完成。

通往未来智能家居的竞赛方兴未艾，但机器人至今仍无法独立完成家务。抓取物体、计算摩擦力等看似简单的任务，背后却需要极其庞大的算力支撑，这一难题困扰了机器人学家数十年。云端机器人、信念空间等前沿概念或许将带来突破。

We’re on the brink of a future beyond what we can fathom — a future with driverless cars, designer babies, intelligent robots, and digital doppelgangers. Who will you choose to be in that future? How will it change you?

In his TED talk, “The kill decision shouldn’t belong to a robot,” Daniel Suarez described the rise of drones, automated weapons and AI-powered intelligence-gathering tools. Here, he goes further, laying out what he says is no less than a coming “automation revolution.”

人工智能的影响正将人类分裂为”AI拥抱者”与”AI限制者”两大阵营，由此引发深刻的社会困境。前者包括技术专家、资本主义者、自由意志主义者等，热切推动AI发展；后者则对AI潜在风险保持警惕。随着AI持续演进，两大群体间的社会与政治张力将不断加剧，人类必须弥合分歧，共同探索驾驭AI的平衡之道。

Economist Robin Hanson thinks the era of ems — robots with artificial copies of human brains — could occur in the next century. Read his astonishing predictions … and prepare for your jaw to drop.

Put your bot-sniffing skills to the test, and see how you do.

AI聊天机器人正处于快速演进的前夜，从情感陪伴、心理治疗到社交训练，其潜在价值不可估量。然而资本主义驱动下的技术竞赛也带来深刻的伦理隐忧——当人类开始与AI建立深厚情感纽带，我们是否真的准备好了？

ChatGPT的兴起引发了人们对教育诚信和社交关系的担忧。然而，自我决定理论告诉我们，人类天生具有学习、创造和建立联系的内在动机。作者认为，只要教育体系能真正激发而非压抑这种天性，技术就不会从根本上威胁我们的学习与交流，人类本性本身足以让我们保持乐观。

But some jobs — and industries — will still require a human touch. Technology researchers Andrew McAfee and Erik Brynjolfsson have a guess as to which ones.
