Artificial intelligence AI (人工智能) is good for humans in many ways. It will make everyday tasks easier and bring efficiency to many industries. It might be one of man's greatest inventions (n.发明).
And yet, like any other technology, AI will also bring risks. In February 2018, a group of AI experts（专家） got together to discuss the possible disadvantages of AI. What they found was that "Every AI developed by the good persons is also helpful for the bad ones, too." according to Quartz.
Their biggest worry was that the bad persons could use AI for bad things. One of the areas they looked at was the use of AI to create websites that could be used to steal people's personal information. Another possibility is that AI programs could be used to hack software (n.软件) and break into computer secure systems (安全系统).
There are some other worries as well. It is possible that AI could be used to create fake(伪造的,虚拟的) imagines and videos. Baidu, in fact, has developed a program called Deep Voice that can "clone (克隆)" anyone's voice by studying a 3.7-second audio sample (音频样本).
Many leading people have expressed worries about AI. People like Bill Gates and Elon Musk have called for the industry to be more strictly controlled, as there are few laws right now on the use of AI.
However, this is set to change. In March 2018, the European Union plans to set up a group that will discuss the moral and ethical (伦理道德的) dangers of AI, and it will help to keep it safe for humans.
