本文评述了Catriona Campbell 的新书《人工智能设计:与人工智能共生的计划》，分析了当前AI的发展趋势和即将到来的AI革命，呼吁人们共同面对，技术公司和世界领袖应与AI专家们达成共识、携手共进。
Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革).
考虑到人工智能改变我们生活的惊人潜力，我们都需要采取行动来应对人工智能驱动的未来，这就是《设计人工智能：人工智能生活计划》的用武之地。Catriona Campbell的这本引人入胜的新书是一本实用的路线图，旨在应对即将到来的人工智能革命带来的挑战。
In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.
如果交给错误的人的手中，这样一本书可能会像为人工智能提供动力的计算机代码一样复杂，但值得庆幸的是，坎贝尔有20多年的专业经验，可以将令人兴奋的内容转化为可以理解的内容。她从商业人士的实际角度而不是学者的角度写作，编写了一本内容丰富的指南，最终会让你觉得自己几乎和人工智能一样聪明。
As we soon come to learn from AI by Design , AI is already super-smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow-AI” to Artificial General Intelligence. From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now — several decades before these developments are expected to take place. She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.
就像我们很快就能从《设计人工智能》中了解的那样，人工智能已经是超智能的，并且将变得更加强大，从当前一代的“窄人工智能”走向通用人工智能。坎贝尔说，从那时起，人工主导智能就会出现。这就是为什么坎贝尔现在就开始提高人们对人工智能及其未来的认识——在这些发展预计发生的几十年前。她说，我们必须保持对人工智能的控制，否则就有被边缘化甚至更糟的风险。
Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI — the technology companies and world leaders — so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity. We need to consider how we want our future with AI to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.
坎贝尔的观点是唤醒那些对人工智能负责的人——科技公司和世界领导人——让他们与目前开发人工智能的所有专家站在同一立场。她解释说，我们正处于历史的“转折点”，必须立即采取行动，防止人类出现灭绝级别的事件。我们需要考虑我们希望人工智能的未来如何发展。这种结构化的思维，再加上全球监管，将使我们能够实现伟大，而不是衰落。
