Thinking and sharing
2. What did Stephen Hawking mean when he said that AI will be
“either the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity”
AI is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, AI is our greatest human achievement and we embrace it. On the other hand, it is the biggest threat or danger to our human existence. Regulate and govern it in a scientific way and it will serve and benefit our human beings better.

不过，我想大家都认可的一点就是，“这是我的AI做的!”这句话不会成为非法行为或不道德行为的任何借口。
While super-intelligent AI could be the biggest leap forward in human history, if it goes wrong or falls into the wrong hands, it could also be the most dangerous.
go away
have no choice but to embrace it and regulate it
One thing I think we all agree on, though, is that saying “My AI did it!” won’t be any excuse for illegal or immoral behavior!
