Great champions know how to end their career at the peak of their success. DeepMind, Alphabet’s artificial intelligence lab, has decided that its computer program, AlphaGo, will no longer focus on winning the board game Go. Instead, according to a blog post co-written by Demis Hassabis, DeepMind chief executive, the focus will be on “developing advanced general algorithms that could one day help scientists as they tackle some of our most complex problems, such as finding new cures for diseases”. 伟大的冠军懂得如何在巅峰时刻激流勇退。Alphabet旗下人工智能实验室DeepMind已决定，其计算机程序AlphaGo将不再专注于下赢围棋。取而代之的是，根据DeepMind首席执行官杰米斯?哈萨比斯(Demis Hassabis)与别人合写的一篇博文，焦点将是“研发先进的通用算法，有朝一日帮助科学家解决我们面临的一些最复杂的问题，例如为疾病寻找新的治疗方法”。 The ambition is justified. AI may lead to remarkable breakthroughs, especially in the hands of thoughtful people. Yet these spectacular developments may be more easily achieved if a misunderstanding is removed. 这一雄心合情合理。人工智能也许将带来重大突破，尤其是当它掌握在考虑周密的人手中时。然而，如果对人工智能的一个误解能够被破除的话，或许会更容易实现这方面的伟大成就。 |
