TED演讲:如何构建对我们有利的人工智能(5)（在线收听）

If we all focus on opening up the discussion on AI with foresight towards the future,

若我们都能把焦点放在开放地带着对未来的远见来讨论人工智能，

this will help create a general conversation and awareness about what AI is now,

what it can become and all the things that we need to do in order to enable that outcome that best suits us.

它未来可以变成什么样子，以及所有我们需要做的事，以产生出最适合我们的结果。

We already see and know this in the technology that we use today.

我们已经在现今我们所使用的科技中看见这一点了。

We use smart phones and digital assistants and Roombas.

我们使用智能手机、数字助理以及扫地机器人。

Are they evil? Maybe sometimes. Are they beneficial? Yes, they're that, too.

它们邪恶吗？也许有时候。它们有帮助吗？是的，这也是事实。

And they're not all the same. And there you already see a light shining on what the future holds.

The future continues on from what we build and create right now.

未来延续的基础，是我们现在所建立和创造的。

We set into motion that domino effect that carves out AI's evolutionary path.

我们开始了骨牌效应，刻划出了人工智能的演进路径。

In our time right now, we shape the AI of tomorrow.

我们在现在这时代形塑未来的人工智能。

Technology that immerses us in augmented realities bringing to life past worlds.

让我们能沉浸入扩增实境中的科技，让过去的世界又活了过来。

Technology that helps people to share their experiences when they have difficulty communicating.

协助人们在沟通困难时还能分享经验的科技。

Technology built on understanding the streaming visual worlds used as technology for self-driving cars.

Technology built on understanding images and generating language,

立基在了解图像和产生语言的科技，

evolving into technology that helps people who are visually impaired be better able to access the visual world.

演进成协助视觉损伤者的科技，让他们更能进入视觉的世界。

And we also see how technology can lead to problems.

such as the color of our skin or the look of our face -- in order to determine whether or not we might be criminals or terrorists.

比如肤色或面部的外观，可以用来判断我们是否有可能是罪犯或恐怖份子。
