The benefits of Artificial Intelligence
- Artificial intelligence can improve workplace safety.
人工智能可以提高工作场所的安全。
补充：AI doesn’t get stressed, tired, or sick, which are the major causes of human accidents in the workplace. AI robots can collaborate with or replace humans for especially dangerous tasks. For example, the majority of construction companies that used drones to inspect roofs and perform other risky tasks saw improvements in safety.
人工智能不会感到压力、疲劳或生病(这些是工作场所发生人身事故的主要原因)。人工智能机器人可以与人类合作或代替人类完成特别危险的任务。例如，大多数使用无人机检查屋顶和执行其他危险任务的建筑公司中，安全都有所提高。
- AI can make everyday life more convenient and enjoyable, improving our health and standard of living.
人工智能可以使日常生活更加便利和快乐，提高我们的健康和生活标准。
补充：Smart speakers like Amazon’s Echo can use AI to soothe babies to sleep and monitor their breathing. Using AI, speakers can also detect regular and irregular heartbeats, as well as heart attacks and congestive heart failure.
亚马逊Echo这种智能音响可以使用人工智能来安抚婴儿入睡并监测他们的呼吸。通过使用人工智能，音响还可以检测规则和不规则的心跳，以及心脏病发作和充血性心力衰竭。
- AI can often perform tasks more quickly and accurately than people. But if the data are biased, then the output may be discriminatory.
人工智能通常能比人更快、更准确地完成任务。但如果输入的数据有偏差，那么其输出可能会有失公正。
The risks of Artificial Intelligence
- Artificial intelligence poses dangerous privacy risks.
人工智能可能会造成危险的隐私风险。
补充：Facial recognition technology, for example, may be used for passive, unauthorised surveillance without knowledge of the person being watched.
比如，面部识别技术可能会被用于被动的、未经允许的监视，而被监视的人却不知情。
- The accelerating development of AI could lead to mass unemployment as robots replace workers.
人工智能的加速发展可能会导致大规模失业，因为机器人会替代工作者。
补充：AI-enabled robots and other software and hardware are becoming less expensive and need none of the benefits required by human workers, such as sick days, health insurance and promotions, which spells trouble for workers and society at large.
人工智能机器人和其他软件和硬件正变得越来越便宜，而且不需要人类工人所需的福利，如病假、医疗保险和晋升，这给工人和整个社会带来了麻烦。
- Machine learning relies largely on a vast database. Yet data are not always readily available.
机器学习在很大程度上依赖于庞大的数据库。然而，数据并不总是那么容易获得。
补充：It is hard to use AI to monitor covid-19 transmission without a comprehensive database of everyone’s movements, for instance.
例如，如果没有每个人行动轨迹的综合数据库，就很难用人工智能来监测covid-19的传播。
