coin n. v.
【词源】coin本义是铸造硬币的模具，来自拉丁语cuneus（楔子）。因古罗马时期用来冲压硬币的模子形状是楔形的而得名。所以，由此衍生出“铸造、创造、杜撰”之意，最后演变为“硬币”。

The benefits of AI also bring concerns and fears. Could machines really develop human- like intelligence And what would happen if they did Would thinking machines work alongside humans or threaten the existence of humans How would they be punished if they committed crimes or even murdered humans As we become more and more dependent on computers, we should think about the dangers posed by the advances in AI. Therefore, the development of AI could also be frightening.

In lines 44–46, Stephen Hawking is quoted as saying

“The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.”
Do you agree with him Why or why not
Discussion
Option 1
Yes, I agree with Stephen Hawking. With the development of full artificial intelligence, machines may become so intelligent that human beings could no longer control them. If super-intelligent AI machines could think and act completely on their own, it remains to be seen how they would treat human beings. It would be extremely dangerous if they decide that humans are their enemies.
Option2
I do not agree with Stephen Hawking. I think that scientists fully understand the concerns about AI, and they will surely be careful about developing it. Even if we are able to create true artificial intelligence, we will know how to control it.
