附篇：人工智能对人类机遇和挑战
（共两篇）
For the past few months, artificial intelligence (AI) has been a much talked about topic in the worlds of both pop culture and science. Last November saw the release of Oscar-nominated and winning biopic, “The Imitation Game”, about the father of the modern computer, Alan Turing. Last month, another Hollywood film about clever robots, Chappie, hit theaters. And here in China, search engine giant Baidu founder and CEO Li Yanhong threw out a bold proposal at the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference. Li’s vision is a project called “China Brain”, aiming to make China the world leader in developing artificial intelligence systems.
就在短短多个月间，人工智能成为了流行文化和科学界热门话题。去年11月上映《模拟游戏》就是相关现代计算机之父艾伦•图灵一部传记电影；该片取得奥斯卡多项提名，并最终拿下获奖。上个月，好莱坞另一部相关智能机器人影片《超能查派》也登陆（北美）各大院线。在中国，baidu创始人兼CEO李彦宏则在人民政协会议上提出了大胆提案，提议建设“中国大脑”，意在使中国成为人工智能系统世界领跑者。
Is artificial intelligence a boon or does it spell doom for humans? In their book The Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies, authors Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee, both of whom hail from MIT, US, could barely hide their excitement toward the rise of machines.
对人类来说，人工智能到底是福音还是丧钟？立克•布林约尔弗森和安德鲁•麦凯菲均来自美国麻省理工学院，她们在著作《第二次机器革命：数字化技术将怎样改变我们经济和社会》中全部表示出对于机械崛起难掩兴奋。
According to the authors, we are entering an age of accelerated development of artificial and robotic tech
