Autonomous cars, which may be the safest we have built, keep getting(不断收到) easily avoidable(可避免的) parking tickets. While Waymos crash far less often than human drivers over tens of millions of miles, they’re still terrible at performing basic tasks – keeping out of disabled parking spots and tow-away zones, or steering clear of a church garage during Sunday service, according to the Wall Street Journal.(尽管Waymo在数千万英里中碰撞远少于人类,但它们在执行基本任务时仍然很糟——比如避开残疾人车位和拖车区,或在周日礼拜时避开教堂车库。)
自动驾驶汽车或许是我们制造过的最安全的汽车,却总是收到本可轻易避免的停车罚单。据《华尔街日报》报道,尽管Waymo在数千万英里的行驶中发生碰撞的频率远低于人类驾驶员,但它们在执行基本任务时仍然糟糕透顶——比如避开残疾人停车位和拖车区,或者在周日礼拜期间避开教堂车库。
That is the state of(……的状况) AI today: impressively capable at something complex, yet embarrassingly clumsy(笨拙的) at something easy. And it has implications(影响;含义) for what work will remain human and what will be automated by AI.
这就是人工智能的现状:在复杂任务上能力惊人,却在简单任务上笨拙得令人尴尬。而这对哪些工作仍将由人类承担、哪些将被人工智能自动化,具有深远影响。
People expect AI to lead to fewer jobs in 34 of the 37 countries surveyed(被调查的) by the Pew Research Center(美国知名民调机构). In wealthy countries like the US, Australia and South Korea, about seven in 10(十分之七) expect job losses over the next 20 years. And across countries, concern among young people is rising. While fears focus on job numbers, the bigger change will be what jobs become.(尽管恐惧集中在岗位数量上,但更大的变化将是工作本身变成什么样。)
在皮尤研究中心调查的37个国家中,有34个国家的民众预计人工智能将导致就业岗位减少。在美国、澳大利亚和韩国等富裕国家,约七成民众预计未来20年将出现失业。而且各国年轻人的担忧都在加剧。尽管恐惧集中在岗位数量上,但更大的变化将是工作本身的性质。
