I bet there are those of you who doubt that superintelligent AI is possible, much less inevitable.

我打赌你们中有些人还会怀疑超级人工智是实，认为我是在小题大做。

But, as a thought experiment, let's just say that superintelligent computers will emerge.

但是，作为一种思想实验，假设超智计算将会。

But such an intelligence explosion might  lead to a true superintelligent entity.

但这样的智爆炸会导致真正超级智实体的。

Let's give this superintelligent AI a simple goal.

我们给这个超级智AI设定一个简单的目标。

If we have a superintelligent system, how will it make our life better?

如果我们拥有一个超级智系统，它将如何我们的生活变得更美好？

We've created an AI so vastly powerful, so unfathomably intelligent, that we might call it superintelligent.

我们创造了一种人工智， 其力量之强大，智慧之深邃， 以至于我们称之为超级智。

In this episode, the fringe beliefs that are helping to fuel the drive towards superintelligent AI.

在这一集中，那些边缘信念正在推动超级智AI的发展。

It better be too early than too late when it comes to superintelligent AI systems.

在超级智AI系统方面，宁早些，也不要太迟。

Still others view AI with more suspicion – why would a superintelligent AI waste its time taking care of us?

还有些人则对人工智持怀疑态度——为什么超级智的人工智会浪费时间来照顾我们？

Right? So imagine if we just built a superintelligent AI that was no smarter than your average team of researchers at Stanford or MIT.

那么，在我们来想象一下我们刚建好一个超级人工智器，大概和斯坦福或是麻省理工学院的研究员的平均水平差不多吧。

The point here is that we should not be confident in our ability to keep a superintelligent genie locked up in its bottle forever.

所以我们不 对我们够永远控制一个超级智体的力 表示过度自信。

Maybe a single, superintelligent civilization has indeed taken over the galaxy and has imposed strict radio silence because it's paranoid of any potential competitors.

一个非常有智的文明已经占领了整个银河系，并且故意把辐射波屏蔽了，因为它们害怕潜在的竞争对手。

Eventually, it may modify and upgrade  itself, evolving into a superintelligent system that leaves humankind in the dust, perhaps more than just metaphorically.

最终， 它会自我修改和升级，进化成一个人类望尘莫及的超级智系统，这或许不仅仅是比喻而已。

Predicting that exponentially improving technologies will take us to a point of a singularity, beyond which superintelligent artificial intelligence will transform our world in nearly unimaginable ways.

预测指数级改进的技术将把我们带到一个技术奇点，超越这一点后， 超级智的人工智将以几乎难以想象的方式改变我们的世界。

A superintelligent AI is by definition very good at attaining its goals, so the most important thing for us to do is to ensure that its goals are aligned with ours.

超级智很善于完成它的目标，所以对我们来说，最重要的是确保它的目标和我们的一致。

And perhaps most interestingly, the extropians' commitment to taking superintelligent AI seriously, it led them to talk a lot about the risks of the technology and how they could mitigate them.

而最有趣的是，熵减主义者对超级智AI的严肃对待，使他们大量讨论了这项技术的风险以及如何减轻这些风险。

Even if created solely with humanity's best interests in mind, superintelligent AI could pose an existential risk if it isn't perfectly aligned with human values— a task scientists are finding extremely difficult.

即使在创造时完全考虑到人类的最大利益，如果超级智 AI 不完全符合人类价值观，它也会带来生存风险——科学家们发这是一项极其困难的任务。
