Nowadays, AI technology is widely used, such as science, criminal investigation, teaching, medical, communications, transportation, media and other industries, through high-energy algorithms, saving the time cost and production cost in social production, is a change in technology.
In the face of AI technology, people cannot break through, but in it, when people enjoy the convenience of AI technology, have they ever felt anxious and worried about it?
In this issue, the New Hainan Client Culture Channel and the Hainan International Communication Center interviewed Zhang Chu, a famous contemporary novelist, to bring his views.

1. Nowadays, AI plays an increasingly important role in society. In terms of your observations, how has it affected and changed your life?
I wasn't too affected by it. Maybe I'm too retarded, maybe it's already appearing at every point in my life, but I haven't noticed it? In fact, I am a little resistant to the supremacy of technology in my heart. Whatever it is, if the speed of development exceeds our imagination, there may be some problems.
2. Have you ever had anxiety about the rapid development of AI?
Anxiety has been. I think that if humans become extinct one day, there are only two possibilities: one is because of war, humans have eliminated humans; and the other is because of the development of AI technology, robots have eliminated humans and replaced them. I think the probability of the second possibility becoming a reality is higher.
3. How to look at science fiction literature now, if one day, the scene of science fiction literature becomes a reality, which novel do you want part of the plot to be realized?
I read fewer science fiction novels, and almost all the classic science fiction movies I have seen. I think it is inevitable that human beings will migrate to other planets in the future, and it is possible that scientists will find the truth about the origin of human beings like the movie "Prometheus", or like the TV series "Universe", all kinds of people will take spaceships to explore the ultimate secrets of the universe. The super civilizations in The Universe can make stars.
4. In the increasingly advanced era of AI, what skills do you think people should learn?
Go with the flow. Excessive obedience or excessive anxiety can lead to disaster.
5. Do you think there is a need for relevant laws and regulations to restrict AI technology?
I feel the need for a global law to govern AI technology, just as it is necessary to prohibit the birth of human cloning.
6. Are you worried about AI becoming artificial Homo sapiens?
I think it's inevitable that robots will one day mentally awaken and try to get out of human control and exploitation. The TV series "Westworld" is a particularly sincere fable.
