《中英对照读新闻》Scientists Worry Machines May Outsmart Man科学家担心机器比人聪明

◎管淑平

Impressed and alarmed by advances in artificial intelligence, a group of computer scientists is debating whether there should be limits on research that might lead to loss of human control over computer-based systems.

对人工智慧进展感到了不起、也有所警觉，一群电脑科学专家正在辩论，是否该为或许将导致人类失去对电脑系统控制权的研究设限。

A group of leading computer scientists, artificial intelligence researchers and roboticists who met in a conference organized by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence believed that computer scientists must respond to the notions of the development of superintelligent machines and artificial intelligence systems run amok.

人工智慧发展协会主办的会议上，一群居领导地位的电脑科学家、人工智慧研究人员和机器人学专家相信，电脑科学家必须对超级智慧机器和人工智慧系统发展失控的想法做出回应。

 Their concern is that further advances could create profound social disruptions and even have dangerous consequences.

他们担心的是，日後的进展可能让社会秩序大乱，甚至有危险後果。

 They focused particular attention on the specter that criminals could exploit artificial intelligence systems as soon as they were developed. What could a criminal do with a speech synthesis system that could masquerade as a human being? What happens if artificial intelligence technology is used to mine personal information from smart phones?

他们特别关注一旦人工智慧系统被发展出来，会被犯罪份子利用。犯罪人士可能会把一套能模仿真人的语音合成系统拿来做什麽？若人工智慧科技被用来从智慧手机中发掘个人资讯的话又该怎麽办？
