1.No doubt,AI will develop to the point that humans and
computers will be able to interface (communicate)
effortlessly.
2.With the development of Al,there may come a time when it
becomes a real issue as to whether a computer or machine has
in fact achieved consciousness,and whether,as a conscious
being,it deserves the same rights as a human being.

us to solve on our own.For example,complex AI models may
be able to use given data to develop a workable solution to

I agree on Dr Han's idea that computers will be cleverer than us
in the future.Actually there are already computers,like
AlphaGo,that are smarter than most people.
I don't agree on Vincent Black's idea about floating cities,
because I doubt that sea levels will rise that much.

Sample dialogue:
A:Good afternoon,Ms Zhang.Thank you for agreeing to do this
interview.
B:I'd love to.
A:First,could you please tell our audience what you do?
B:Certainly.I'm a doctor.I perform transplant surgery every
week.
A:That sounds like a very high-tech job.How do you think the
surgery will be operated in the future?Do you have any
predictions about that?
B:Yes,well,I believe that doctors in the future will have much
better means to help people.I can imagine that nanobots will
be put in patients'body to detect the illness.And in the
future,there will be adequate supply of organs for patients
who need transplant.
A:Well,that would be really good news for all of us.Could you
please explain how this will be possible?
B:Well,it will be possible because of special 3D printers.In the
future,doctors will be using them in hospitals regularly to
create healthy copies of people's organs.Then they will
replace the unhealthy organs with the healthy copies.

1975年,当科幻小说家詹姆斯·冈恩首次出
版《交错的世界一—世界科幻图史》时,他在开篇!
中提到:“The world has finally caught up with
science fiction'”。在进人21世纪之后,冈恩补充!
道:“The world has finally caught up with science
fiction,but science fiction is no longer there.It
has rocketed ahead into an unknown world,
mapping new territories of the imagination,
extending the frontiers of what humanity may yeti
accomplish.”
Liu Cixin's“reality-future perspective”
shows:anchored(扎根)in reality,employing
technology as a tool,and adopting a human
community standpoint to construct multiple
possibilities for the future through literary
imagination.Liu maintains
unwavering
confidence in humanity's spirit of exploration and
innovative capacity.As he wrote in The Three-
Body Problem:"It is better to imbue time with
civilization than to imbue civilization with time
(给岁月以文明,而非给文明以岁月).”
