Debate about artificial intelligence (ai) tends to focus on its potential dangers: algorithmic bias and discrimination, the mass destruction of jobs and even, some say, the extinction of humanity. As some observers fret about these dystopian scenarios, however, others are focusing on the potential rewards. ai could, they claim, help humanity solve some of its biggest and thorniest problems. And, they say, ai will do this in a very specific way: by radically accelerating the pace of scientific discovery, especially in areas such as medicine, climate science and green technology. Luminaries in the field such as Demis Hassabis and Yann LeCun believe that ai can turbocharge scientific progress and lead to a golden age of discovery. Could they be right?
关于人工智能 (ai) 的争论往往集中在其潜在的危险上：算法偏见和歧视、大规模就业岗位的破坏，甚至有人说，人类的灭绝。然而，当一些观察家对这些反乌托邦情景感到担忧时，其他人则关注潜在的回报。他们声称，人工智能可以帮助人类解决一些最大、最棘手的问题。他们表示，人工智能将以一种非常具体的方式做到这一点：从根本上加快科学发现的步伐，特别是在医学、气候科学和绿色技术等领域。 Demis Hassabis 和 Yann LeCun 等该领域的杰出人物相信人工智能可以推动科学进步并引领发现的黄金时代。他们可能是对的吗？
