人工智能与工作 AI and Work

最近zuìjìn，我们wǒmen公司gōngsī开始kāishǐ用yòng人工智能réngōng zhìnéng写xiě报告bàogào，同事们tóngshìmen的de反应fǎnyìng很hěn不一样bù yíyàng。

Recently our company started using artificial intelligence to write reports, and my colleagues' reactions have been very different.

有人yǒurén担心dānxīn自己zìjǐ的de工作gōngzuò会huì被bèi机器jīqì取代qǔdài，有人yǒurén却què觉得juéde终于zhōngyú可以kěyǐ少shǎo加班jiābān了le。

Some worry their jobs will be replaced by machines, while others feel they can finally work less overtime.

说实话shuō shíhuà，我wǒ两liǎng种zhǒng感觉gǎnjué都dōu有yǒu。

To be honest, I have both feelings.

人工智能réngōng zhìnéng确实quèshí比bǐ我wǒ快kuài：我wǒ写xiě一yí份fèn总结zǒngjié要yào两liǎng个ge小时xiǎoshí，它tā两liǎng分钟fēnzhōng就jiù能néng写完xiěwán。

The AI really is faster than me: it takes me two hours to write a summary, and it can finish one in two minutes.

但是dànshì它tā也yě经常jīngcháng出错chūcuò，而且érqiě错cuò得de特别tèbié自信zìxìn，你nǐ不bù仔细zǐxì检查jiǎnchá就jiù根本gēnběn发现不了fāxiàn bùliǎo。

But it also makes mistakes often, and it gets things wrong with such confidence that you simply cannot notice unless you check carefully.

所以suǒyǐ我wǒ的de工作gōngzuò慢慢mànmàn变biàn了le：以前yǐqián是shì自己zìjǐ写xiě，现在xiànzài是shì判断pànduàn机器jīqì写xiě得de对不对duì bu duì。

So my job has slowly changed: before, I did the writing; now, I judge whether the machine wrote it correctly.

一yí位wèi老lǎo同事tóngshì说shuō，历史lìshǐ上shàng每měi次cì新xīn技术jìshù出现chūxiàn，人们rénmen都dōu害怕hàipà失业shīyè，最后zuìhòu总zǒng会huì出现chūxiàn新xīn的de职业zhíyè。

A senior colleague said that in history, every time a new technology appeared people feared unemployment, yet in the end new professions always emerged.

这zhè句jù话huà也许yěxǔ没错méi cuò，可是kěshì从cóng旧jiù工作gōngzuò到dào新xīn工作gōngzuò的de路lù，往往wǎngwǎng要yào走zǒu很多hěn duō年nián。

Those words may well be true, but the road from the old job to the new one often takes many years to walk.

我wǒ不bù知道zhīdào十shí年nián以后yǐhòu自己zìjǐ会huì做zuò什么shénme，只能zhǐ néng一边yìbiān使用shǐyòng这些zhèxiē工具gōngjù，一边yìbiān继续jìxù学习xuéxí。

I don't know what I will be doing ten years from now; all I can do is keep learning while I use these tools.
