双语文本

When computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton won the Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for his work on machine learning, he immediately issued a warning about the power of the technology that his research helped propel: artificial intelligence.

周二，计算机科学家杰弗里·辛顿因其在机器学习方面的工作而获得诺贝尔物理学奖，他立即就他的研究推动的技术——人工智能发出警告。

"It will be comparable withthe Industrial Revolution," he said just after the announcement. "But instead of exceeding people in physical strength, it's going to exceed people in intellectual ability. We have no experience of what it's like to have things smarter than us."

“它将与工业革命相媲美，”他在宣布获奖后不久说道。“但它不会在体力上超越人类，而是在智力上超越人类。我们从未体验过拥有比我们更聪明的东西是什么感觉。”

Hinton, who famously quit Google to warn about the potential dangers of AI, has been called the godfather of the technology. Now affiliated withthe University of Toronto, he shared the prize with Princeton University professor John Hopfield.

辛顿曾因警告人工智能的潜在危险而辞去谷歌职务，他被称为人工智能的教父。他现就职于多伦多大学，与普林斯顿大学教授约翰·霍普菲尔德共同获奖。

And while Hinton acknowledges that AI could transform parts of society for the better – leading to a "huge improvement in productivity" in areas like health care, for example – he also emphasized the potential for "a number of possible bad consequences, particularly the threat of these things getting out of control."

辛顿承认人工智能可以改善社会的某些方面——例如在医疗保健等领域带来“生产力的巨大提高”，但他也强调了“一系列可能的不良后果，尤其是这些事情失控的威胁”。
