Picture humanity in a boat being swept down a raging(汹涌的，狂暴的) river, praying there is no Niagara Falls(尼亚加拉大瀑布（比喻毁灭性结局）) ahead. Or imagine standing with the pioneering physicists in 1942 before they triggered the first self-sustaining(自持的，自我维持的) nuclear fission chain reaction beneath a Chicago stadium.
想象一下，人类坐在一艘小船上，被湍急的河流冲向下游，祈祷前方没有尼亚加拉瀑布。或者想象一下，1942年，在芝加哥一座体育场地下，你与先驱物理学家们站在一起，他们即将触发第一次自持核裂变链式反应。
These were two of the analogies used this week by Prof Robert Trager, an expert in the nascent field of AI governance, to describe the perilous but potential-filled moment the world stands at with accelerating artificial intelligence.(这是罗伯特·特雷格教授本周使用的两个类比，他是一位AI治理新兴领域的专家，用它们来描述世界在AI加速发展之际所面临的危险与机遇并存的时刻。)
本周，人工智能治理这一新兴领域的专家罗伯特·特雷格教授使用了这两个类比，来描述世界在人工智能加速发展之际所面临的危险与机遇并存的时刻。
Trager, the director of the Oxford Martin AI Governance Initiative, was speaking in the week OpenAI claimed(宣称，声称) the technology had crossed the threshold(门槛，临界点) known as AGI – artificial general intelligence(通用人工智能（AGI）) – with its newest model, GPT-6 Astra.
特雷格是牛津马丁人工智能治理倡议的主任，他发表此番言论之际，OpenAI宣称其最新模型GPT-6 Astra已跨越被称为AGI（通用人工智能）的门槛。
