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
Preface
用斯蒂芬·霍金教授的话说，人工智能将是“人类有史以来最好或最坏的事情”。明日科技论坛希望听到你对人工智能的想法。到目前为止，人工智能算是我们人类最伟大的成就还是对我们生存的最大威胁呢？
Artificial Intelligence: A REAL THREAT
人工智能：真正的威胁？
用某人的话来说
到目前为止，迄今为止（常与现在完成时连用）
Millenniumbutterfly
① 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. 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.
Para. 1
千禧蝶
①多亏了人工智能，我才可以在手机中内置个人超级智能私人助手。我向她提任何问题，她总能立即答复，甚至可以通过我的答案了解更多关于我的个人偏好。过去，我觉得自己有50%的时间花在了研究新餐厅上，相比之下，有了私人助手，只需数秒就能找到正确的餐厅了。[因为她可以预测(我是否会喜欢某一个餐厅)]，所以她给我的每一个建议都很棒。
Artificial Intelligence: A REAL THREAT
人工智能：真正的威胁？
多亏了，由于

省略which/that引导的定语从句，修饰recommendation，在从句中作宾语。

与此相反，相比之下
② 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, and can make judgements based on information. And as they won’t be susceptible to human error, 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. Still, I do think that developments in AI will on the whole make doing day-to-day things a lot easier.
Para. 2
过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰judgements。
that引导宾语从句
that引导的定语从句，在从句中作状语，修饰the same way。
②说到出去玩，我希望自动驾驶汽车能很快面世。我已经上驾驶课一年多了，但仍然没有拿到驾照。自动驾驶汽车可以学习与我们相同的驾驶模式，并且可以根据信息做出判断。而且由于它们不会受到人为错误的影响，肯定会安全的多。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问题，所以也许我最好先学会驾驶。不过，我确实认为，总体而言，人工智能的发展将使日常工作变得更加容易。

③ 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.
Para. 3
it作形式主语，不定式短语作真正的主语。
省略that/which引导的定语从句，修饰technology。
which引导的定语从句，修饰AI，在从句中作主语。
小破孩儿
③ 你今天正在使用和享受的技术是人工智能的基本形式，没有程序它就无法独立思考。当然，拥有更先进的人工智能形式非常有用，这种更先进的人工智能形式是一种真正独立的人工智能形式，能够运用自己的判断力，可以帮助我们解决世界上的许多问题。
是对前面a more advanced form of AI 的解释说明。
Artificial Intelligence: A REAL THREAT
人工智能：真正的威胁？
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. If we’re lucky, AI might think we’re valuable enough to keep around. If not, it might wipe us all out!
Para. 3
if引导条件状语从句
that引导定语从句，修饰inconvenience。
但是你是否考虑过风险？毕竟，为什么独立的人工智能形式需要考虑人类的选择和欲望？我们可能会被视为解决更大问题道路上的一个“小”麻烦。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，他可能会扫清我们所有人！
If we’re not lucky的省略结构，表示否定的假设。
wipe out 彻底消灭；去除；扫除
Artificial Intelligence: A REAL THREAT
人工智能：真正的威胁？
毕竟，到底，终归，总算
④ 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 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.
Para. 4
④尽管还没有发生什么，但确实存在其他的风险。千禧蝶，你说拥有自动驾驶汽车会很棒，但出租车司机会失业这个问题呢？他们将会是人工智能的第一批受害者。长此以往，几乎所有工作都可能处于潜在危险之中。甚至现在的新闻工作者也正在被可以撰写简单的新闻报道的技术所取代。实际上，在未来20年中，美国有将近50%的工作会受到自动化的威胁。
从长远看
Artificial Intelligence: A REAL THREAT
人工智能：真正的威胁？
even if=even though引导让步状语从句，意思是“即使”。
how引导宾语从句，作say的宾语。
who引导的定语从句，修饰drivers ，在从句中作主语。
that引导定语从句，修饰technology，在从句中作主语。
事实上；实际上
⑤ The truth is that none of us is prepared for the challenges of AI.
Pink_haze
⑥ Machine learning is something we have come to accept as a part of our modern world. I believe most of the value of AI lies in its capacity to analyse and interpret vast amounts of data, which means it can even solve problems that are too challenging for human experts.
Para. 5-6
省略that引导的宾语从句，作believe宾语。
⑤事实上，我们中没有人做好了面对人工智能的挑战的准备。
粉红__烟雾
⑥机器学习作为现代世界的一部分，已经成为我们接受的东西。我认为人工智能的大部分价值在于它分析和解析庞大数据的能力，也就是说它甚至能够解决对于人类专家来说具有挑战性的问题。
which引导的非限制性定语从句，对主句进行补充说明。
Artificial Intelligence: A REAL THREAT
人工智能：真正的威胁？
that引导表语从句
省略的that引导定语从句，修饰something，在从句中作accept宾语。
that引导定语从句，修饰problems，在从句中作主语。
⑦ 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!
Para. 7
while引导让步状语从句，意思是“虽然”，“尽管”。
⑦虽然超智能AI可能是人类有史以来的最大飞跃，但如果出错或者落入坏人手里，它同时可能是最危险的。但是，人工智能不会消失。我们别无选择，只能接受它并加以规范。不过，我想大家都认可的一点是，“这是我的AI做的！”这句话不会成为非法行为或不道德行为的任何借口。
if引导条件状语从句
除了做某事别无选择
Artificial Intelligence: A REAL THREAT
人工智能：真正的威胁？
省略that/which引导定语从句，修饰thing，在on之后作宾语。其中I think为插入语。 though为副词，“然而”。
that引导表语从句。其中saying “My AI did it!”为动名词短语作主语。
