Recently, in an office building in Washington, the United States, a security robot made headlines on Twitter for its "suicide" behavior of immersing itself in a fountain, which also sparked heated discussions about artificial intelligence. It is understood that this is a Knightscope K5 robot, developed by the Silicon Valley robotics company Knightscope. It has multiple functions such as GPS, laser scanning and thermal sensing, and is equipped with surveillance cameras, sensors, odor detectors and thermal imaging systems. It can also transmit data when connected to a mobile phone. They can patrol along a designated route or roam at will. The laser scanning and odor detection functions can detect changes in the surrounding environment and even detect air pollution index. The robot can combat crime and monitor suspicious behavior during patrols and has been used in offices and shopping malls in many parts of the United States. Musk: Artificial intelligence is a risk to human civilization Recently, Tesla CEO Musk said that the negative impacts that artificial intelligence may have on human society cannot be legislated when they have already begun. Instead, it requires preemptive regulations and restrictions on human safety. "AI is a rare case where, in my opinion, we need to be proactive in our regulation, not reactive. Because I think by the time we're reactive in AI regulation, it's too late," Musk said. "AI is a fundamental risk to human civilization." Musk's biggest concern is that AI systems could spark unnecessary wars by spreading "fake news" and "information manipulation," a scenario that is very similar to what fans of the "Terminator" film series have thought about over the past few decades. Therefore, regulating artificial intelligence is an extremely important issue. As early as 2014, Musk warned students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in a speech that the rapid development of artificial intelligence has certain dangers. He said: "I think we should be very cautious about artificial intelligence. If I can guess what the biggest threat to our survival is, it is probably artificial intelligence. So, we need to be very careful about artificial intelligence. I am increasingly inclined to think that there should be some regulatory supervision at the national and international level, just to make sure that we don't do something very stupid. With artificial intelligence, we will summon the demon. We all know that in all these stories, there is a man with a pentagram and holy water, who is sure that he can definitely control this demon, but he fails." In addition to Musk, celebrities such as Stephen Hawking have warned about the safety issues of artificial intelligence, believing that this technology will pose a major threat to all human beings. When will artificial intelligence surpass humans? Last month, researchers from Yale University and Oxford University surveyed 352 AI experts on the topic of "When will AI surpass humans?" The results showed that by 2024, AI will surpass all humans in translation; by 2026, AI will be able to write high school-level articles; by 2027, it will be able to drive trucks; by 2031, it will be able to work in retail; by 2049, it will be able to write a best-selling book; and by 2053, it will be able to perform the work of a surgeon. A study by the World Economic Forum shows that artificial intelligence will create about 2 million new jobs in the next five years, including some emerging occupations such as virtual world designers and unmanned driving system engineers. "Artificial intelligence will explode rapidly. In ten years, 50% of human jobs will be replaced by AI." In April this year, Kai-Fu Lee, chairman of Innovation Works, said in an interview with the media that AI will penetrate into every industry and every job. It will change, subvert and replace 50% of people within ten years. It will change the way we do things completely. It will be faster and more influential than the Internet.
