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否可实现，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，假设超智计算机将会出现。

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。

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？

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.

可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。

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，现在让我们来想象一下我们刚建好一个超级人工智机器，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。

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

And then later in the year, Madhu and I will be back with more AI, a whole new series about superintelligent or godlike AI.

今年晚些时候， Madhu 和我将带着更多人工智回来，这是一个关于超级智或神一般的人工智的全新系列。

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，它也可会带来生存风险——科学家们发现这是一项极其困难的任务。

The " Culture" series by Iain M. Banks, a Scottish novelist, goes further, considering a world in which ai has grown sufficiently powerful as to be superintelligent—operating far beyond anything now foreseeable.

苏格兰小说家伊恩·班克斯 (Iain M. Banks) 的“文化” (Culture) 系列更进一步，考虑到一个人工智已经强大到足以成为超级智的世界——其运作方式远远超出现在可预见的范围。

The deeper problem is that building superintelligent AI on its own seems likely to be easier than building superintelligent AI and having the completed neuroscience that allows us to seamlessly integrate our minds with it.

仅仅制造出超级人工智机器可要比既制造超级人工智，又让其拥有让我们的思想和超级人工智无缝对接的完整的神经科学系统要简单很多。

So you've been taken hostage by a superintelligent mass murdering cannibalistic serial killer that's hellbent on making you his main course- how in the world are you going to get out of this one?

所以你被一个超级智的大规模谋杀食人连环杀手劫持为人质，他一心要让你成为他的主菜 - 你到底要怎么摆脱这个？

Others predict humans staying largely human, but with superintelligent computers as a benevolent force, emerging as a caretaker for humanity – running all the farms, curing diseases, directing robots to pick-up trash, building new homes and many other functions.

其他人预测人类基本上还是人类，但会有超级智的计算机作为一股善意的力量出现，成为人类的看护者——管理所有的农场、治愈疾病、指挥机器人捡垃圾、建造新房以及许多其他功。
