Day12 The next AI is no AI 下一个人工智能时代没有人工智能 By Jarno M. Koponen Artificial Intelligence is starting to turn invisible from the outside in — and vice versa. The exact effects and workings of AI technologies are becoming more challenging to perceive and comprehend for humans. Even the experts themselves don't always fully understand how an AI system operates. 【翻译】人工智能开始使外部不可见，反之亦然。人工智能技术的确切效果和运作对人类的感知和理解正在变得越来越具有挑战性。即使专家们也不完全理解人工智能系统是如何运作的。 Effectively, as the impact of AI technologies increases, the more limited becomes our ability to understand their impact. What does this mean for human agency and the future of artificial intelligence? 【翻译】有效地，随着人工智能技术的影响，越来越有限的成为我们理解它们影响的能力。这对人事代理和人工智能的未来意味着什么？ Escaping intelligence 逃脱智能 In the near future, artificial intelligence will commonly become intangible, indistinguishable and incomprehensible for humans. 【翻译】在不久的将来，人工智能对人类而言通常会变得无形、难以区分和难以理解。 Firstly, AI doesn't necessarily need a tangible embodiment. It can manifest itself through different mediators, such as a graphical user interface or a voice interface. Already we trust Spotify recommendations without a glance or talk to Siri and Alexa like they were summoned spirits, intelligences without a tangible form. 【翻译】首先，人工智能并不一定需要一个具体的体现。它可以通过不同的介质体现，如图形用户界面或语音接口来显化它自己。我们已经立马相信Spotify建议或与Siri和Alexa的谈话，就像它们是受到召唤的无形精灵、智能。 Secondly, AI becomes invisible by passing the Turing test, or its more relevant variants. An intelligent system that manages to simulate human-level communication, and cognitive as well as emotional abilities, can become indistinguishable from humans and, thus, the “artificiality” of its intelligence becomes imperceptible for us. 【翻译】第二，人工智能因通过了图灵测试更加不可见，或者有更多与其相关的变体。一个智能系统能够模拟人的沟通、认知以及情感能力，与人类是没有什么区别，因而我们越来越察觉不到智能的“人工性”。 Thirdly, and most importantly, AI escapes human gaze when the details of its effects and technological dynamics go beyond human perception and understanding. We can be aware of the existence, presence and effects of intelligent system
