人工智能篇
人類一直想盡辦法減少體力勞動和重覆性工序,在科技未出現之前,通常都是靠剝削其他同伴來達到目的。找機械人幫手似乎是個可行方法,幾百年來,機械人技術令不少人深深著迷,就連希臘神話中的赫菲斯托斯也製造了機械工人幫忙鑄鐵。不過,人工智能技術的發展要到最近才漸見成熟,有望改變人類的未來。
AI
Mankind has always looked for ways to reduce manual labor and repetitive tasks. To that end, and in the absence of technology, civilization exploited various me- thods, often by taking advantage of their fellow humans.
Robots, as a potential solution, have long fascinated mankind, capturing our imagination for centuries. Even in Greek mythology, the god Hephaestus had « mechanical » servants. But not until recently, has artificial intelligence finally progressed to a level that will become more and more life-changing for the future of humanity.
