because of、due to、owing to和thanks to的辨析：

Our flight was delayed owing to the bad weather.由于坏天气，我们的航班耽搁了。
Owing to the war, everything was dear.因为战争，一切东西都昂贵。
thanks to表示“幸亏；由于”，一般可以跟because of、owing to通用。它可以用于表达正面意思或者带有讽刺口气的句子中。位于句子开头时要用逗号与句子的主要部分隔开。

Artificial Intelligence:A REAL THREAT
In the words of Professor Stephen Hawking, artificial intelligence will be “either the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity”. Technology of Tomorrow Forum wants to hear your thoughts on AI. Is it our greatest human achievement so far Or is it the biggest threat to our existence
人工智能:真正的威胁
用斯蒂芬·霍金教授的话来说,人工智能将是“人类有史以来最好的或最坏的事情”。明日科技论坛想听听你对人工智能的看法。它是我们人类迄今为止最伟大的成就吗 还是对我们生存的最大威胁
Millenniumbutterfly
Thanks to AI, I've got my own super-smart personal assistant built into my phone. She always has an immediate answer for any question I put to her, and even uses my answers to learn more about my preferences. It used to feel like 50 per cent of my time was spent researching new restaurants(1). In contrast, my PA only needs a few seconds to find the right place. Every recommendation she gives me is great since she can predict if I will like a particular restaurant.(2)
千禧蝶
多亏了人工智能,我的手机里已经内置了我自己的超级智能个人助理。对于我向她提出的任何问题,她总能有一个即时的答案,甚至利用我的答案来了解更多我的喜好。我过去常常感觉自己有50%的时间都花在研究新的餐馆上。相比之下,我的个人助理只需要几秒钟就能找到合适的地方。她给我的每一项建议都很好,因为她可以预测我是否会喜欢某家餐馆。

And speaking of hanging out, I'm hoping that self-driving cars are available soon. I've been taking driving lessons for over a year, and still haven't got my licence. Self-driving cars can learn to drive in the same way that we do(3), and can make judgements based on information. And as they won't be susceptible to human error(4), they'll certainly be a lot safer. The only thing is that there might be a few machine-learning problems when the first cars hit the market, so perhaps I'd better learn to drive first.(5) Still, I do think that developments in AI will on the whole make doing day-to-day things a lot easier.
说到闲逛,我希望自动驾驶汽车能很快上市。我已经上了一年多的驾驶课了,可是还没有拿到驾照。自动驾驶汽车可以像我们一样学习驾驶,并可以根据信息做出判断。由于它们不会受到人为失误的影响,它们肯定安全得多。唯一的问题是,当第一批汽车上市时,可能会有一些机器学习的问题,所以或许我最好先学会开车。不过,我确实认为人工智能的发展总体上会使日常事务变得更容易。

Popkid
The technology you're using and enjoying today is a basic form of AI which can't think independently without programming. Of course, it could be very useful to have a more advanced form of AI—a truly independent form of artificial intelligence, capable of exercising its own judgement, could help us solve many of the world's problems. But have you ever thought about the risks After all, why would an independent form of AI need to consider the opinions and desires of humans We could be seen as a “small” inconvenience that's in the way of a solution to a bigger problem(6). If we're lucky, AI might think we're valuable enough to keep around. If not, it might wipe us all out!
流行小孩
你现在正在使用和享受的技术是人工智能的一种基本形式,它没有编程就无法独立思考。当然,拥有一种更高级的人工智能形式可能非常有用——一种真正独立的人工智能形式,能够运用自己的判断,可以帮助我们解决世界上的许多问题。但是你考虑过它的风险吗 毕竟,为什么一个独立的人工智能形式需要考虑人类的意见和欲望 我们可能被看作是解决更大问题道路上的一个“小小的”不便。如果幸运的话,人工智能可能会认为我们足够有价值,可以留下来。否则,它可能会把我们都消灭!

Even if that doesn't happen, there are other risks. Millenniumbutterfly, you say how great it would be to have self-driving cars, but what about all the taxi drivers who would lose their jobs (7) They would just be among the first victims of AI. Nearly every job is potentially at risk in the long run. Even journalists are now being replaced with technology that can write basic news reports. As it is, almost 50 per cent of US jobs are at risk from automation in the next 20 years.
The truth is that none of us is prepared for the challenges of AI.
即使这种情况不会发生,但也存在其他风险。千禧蝶,你说拥有自动驾驶汽车有多好,但是所有将失去工作的出租车司机怎么办 他们将是人工智能的第一批受害者。从长远来看,几乎所有的工作都潜在地存在风险。甚至记者现在也正在被能够撰写基本新闻报道的技术所取代。照现状看,未来20年美国近50%的就业岗位都面临着自动化的风险。

But 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. However, AI is not going to go away. We 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 behaviour!
然而,尽管超级智能的人工智能可能是人类历史上最大的飞跃,但如果它出错或落入坏人之手,它也可能是最危险的。然而,人工智能不会消失。我们别无选择,只能接受并监管它。不过,有一件事我想大家都同意,那就是说“这是我的人工智能做的!”不会成为任何非法或不道德行为的借口!

易混辨析
because of、due to、owing to和thanks to的辨析:
because of表示“因为;由于”,比较口语化,一般不作表语或定语。
I did not go because of the rain.因为下雨,我没去。
due to表示“由于;因为”时,经常用在动词be之后。His absence is due to the storm.由于暴风雨,他没能来。
owing to表示“由于”,多引导副词短语,这时可以跟because of通用,多位于句首,用逗号和主句隔开,有时也位于句末。而because of则常常修饰句子的一部分,放在句子末尾,不用逗号。
Our flight was delayed owing to the bad weather.由于坏天气,我们的航班耽搁了。
Owing to the war, everything was dear.因为战争,一切东西都昂贵。
thanks to表示“幸亏;由于”,一般可以跟because of、owing to通用。它可以用于表达正面意思或者带有讽刺口气的句子中。位于句子开头时要用逗号与句子的主要部分隔开。
Thanks to your help, we were successful.由于你的帮助, 我们得以成功。
