artificial
intelligence(AI)
人工智能是计算机科学的一个分支，它企图了解智能的实质，并生产出一种新的能以人类智能相似的方式做出反应的智能机器，该领域的研究包括机器人、语言识别、图像识别、自然语言处理和专家系统等。
纳米机器人是根据分子水平的生物学原理为设计原型，
在纳米尺度上应用生物学原理，
研制可编程的分子机器人。
医学上:
(1)高灵敏度、精确的生物纳米结构与特性的探测技术,如疾病早期诊断的纳米传感器系统;
(2)治疗药物的纳米化以及新型药剂学的发展;
(3)结合微创医疗的精细治疗手术,如血管内的纳米机器人手术等。

自动化（Automation）是指机器设备、系统或过程（生产、管理过程）在没有人或较少人的直接参与下，按照人的要求，经过自动检测、信息处理、分析判断、操纵控制，实现预期的目标的过程。自动化技术广泛用于工业、农业、军事、科学研究、交通运输、商业、医疗、服务和家庭等方面。
automation
克隆是指生物体通过体细胞进行的无性繁殖，以及由无性繁殖形成的基因型完全相同的后代个体。
克隆是英文"clone"或"cloning"的音译，而英文"clone"则起源于希腊文"Klone"，原意是指以幼苗或嫩枝插条，以无性繁殖或营养繁殖的方式培育植物，如扦插和嫁接。译为“无性繁殖”，“复制”，“转殖”或“群殖”。?

全球气候变暖是一种和自然有关的现象，是由于温室效应不断积累，导致地气系统吸收与发射的能量不平衡，能量不断在地气系统累积，从而导致温度上升，造成全球气候变暖。
全球变暖会使全球降水量重新分配、冰川和冻土消融、海平面上升等，不仅危害自然生态系统的平衡，还影响人类健康，甚至威胁人类的生存。

Future
development:
Challenges:
The
AI
is
programmed
to
do
something
beneficial,
but
it
may
develop
a
destructive
method
for
achieving
its
goal.
Opportunities
it
may
take:
People
can
use
the
AI
to
do
most
of
the
daily
chores.
More
and
more
people
can
be
free
to
do
work
of
creating
new
things.
Future
development:
Challenges:
Opportunities
it
may
take:
More
nanobots
will
be
created
to
help
doctors
to
find
out
the
root
of
a
disease
and
make
operations
more
accurately.
New
kinds
of
virus
may
appear
and
even
nanobots
can’t
find
out
where
they
come
from.
The
nanobots
may
bring
more
people’s
life
back.
Future
development:
Challenges:
Opportunities
it
may
take:
Work
in
factories
will
be
more
efficient.
More
labor
force
can
be
freed
from
working.
More
and
more
workers
will
be
out
of
work.
People
will
learn
more
about
how
to
create
a
machine
and
how
to
operate
it
to
help
work.
Future
development:
Challenges:
Opportunities
it
may
take:
More
animals
even
human
beings
will
be
cloned.
Cloning
may
result
in
disorder
on
the
earth.
More
lives
will
be
saved
and
more

can
be
cured.
Future

There
will

People
