Stephen? Hawking once warned that "complete" development of artificial intelligence may lead to the arrival of the end of humanity. Bill? Gates also urges people to be careful about artificial intelligence, the new generation of entrepreneur Elon? Musk said even more bluntly that artificial intelligence may become the biggest threat faced by mankind.

People have long been worried that the products they create may dominate the world or even become human executioners. However, when famous cosmologists and Microsoft founders have made their positions one after another, they even prevented companies such as Google and Microsoft from investing huge sums of money in artificial intelligence research and development. This concern becomes important. However, in the current era when everyone has a mobile phone like a supercomputer and robots are everywhere, it is no longer realistic to eliminate artificial intelligence. The question is how people should respond rationally to this concern.

The Economist magazine believes that the most urgent task is to understand what computers do now and in the future. Thanks to the improvement of computer processing capabilities and the advent of the big data era, artificial intelligence is in an unprecedented period of rapid development. Nowadays, the "deep learning" system generated by imitating human brain neurons and processing large amounts of data can be used to imitate humans to complete complex tasks such as image recognition and translation. The "deep surface" program launched by Facebook in 2014 can even recognize 97 More than % of faces.

However, the key point is that this ability produced by artificial intelligence relies entirely on mechanical digital computing and cannot develop new cognition through autonomous consciousness, personal interests and hobbies like human intelligence. Computers cannot infer, judge and make decisions about anything like human intelligence. Even so, the rapid development of artificial intelligence has had a huge impact on human life and has played a key auxiliary role in human technological progress, such as medical imaging, speech recognition of smartphones, digital photography in academic research, wearable electronic devices image classification, etc.

Hawking and Gates are concerned about artificial intelligence in the long run and have a pessimistic attitude. They mainly focus on the threat and conflict of interest of automated machines with superhuman cognitive abilities to modern people. However, even in the short term, the threat of artificial intelligence mentioned by Hawkings has arrived, and the first thing to do is that a large number of white-collar workers will face unemployment.

However, there is still a long way to go to develop "complete" artificial intelligence. For a century, both psychologists, neuroscientists and sociologists have been thinking hard about how to recreate human thinking, and human autonomy awareness and interests Although hobbies are difficult to replicate, the management of artificial intelligence systems can be completely based on the management experience of human society.

As we all know, both national and local governments around the world need to establish and improve laws and regulations to control society, and human autonomy has played a crucial role. Because artificial intelligence cannot replicate human autonomy, it requires a corresponding open supervision mechanism. The system is reviewed, and because the designer cannot predict the occurrence of unexpected situations, the artificial intelligence system must also set up emergency switches, especially artificial intelligence systems involving nuclear facilities and traffic command.

The vision of human society eventually creating an autonomous ghost of artificial intelligence is so extraordinary that people are willing to risk development without paying attention to the controversy. Yes, there are indeed certain dangers in developing artificial intelligence, but the contribution of artificial intelligence to human society should not be concealed. (Shi Lu)
