AI and machine learning refer to the ability of machines to learn and act smartly. It means they can make decisions, finish tasks, and even tell of possible future results based on (基于) what they learn from data (数据). They already play a bigger role in everyday life than you might imagine. Health care, banking video games, every search on the Internet you make, all are driven by AI.
AI is going to change almost every field of modern life. Someone said, "Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history. Unluckily, it might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risks." ▲ Especially when you consider some countries are racing to develop AI-enabled autonomous weapons (人工

智

能自主武器). It is also going to change and take the place of many human jobs. The same worries also come from the public. According to the survey result from Centre for the Governance of AI, 91% of the people (tend to and totally) agree that "AI is a technology that requires careful management" in Europe.
But rather than agreeing with an idea of a helpless future where all human jobs are given over to robots, some people believe AI will make our working lives better. It will improve the work of humans, and new jobs will appear to take the place of the old ones. What's more, machines become more intelligent and they are able to finish more human tasks. Things which only belong to humans, including creativity and critical (批判性的) thinking, will become even more valuable in the future.
Like it or not, AI is here. Maybe changing ourselves and managing it well are the best way out. Just as Benjamin Franklin once said, "When you're finished changing, you're finished."
