Abstract

At the moment, artificial intelligence and increasingly sophisticated algorithms have influenced our lives and civilizations more than ever. The fields of artificial intelligence applications are diverse, potentially far-reaching, and because of recent improvements in computer hardware, some artificial intelligence algorithms have surpassed the capabilities of today's human experts. With the improvement of artificial intelligence, its application field will continue to grow. From a specific point of view, the relevant algorithms are likely to start optimizing to reach a higher degree, and, one day, artificial intelligence can reach the level of human intelligence. This technological advance may bring us unprecedented ethical challenges. Many experts believe that, at the same time as global opportunities, artificial intelligence has brought more global risks than nuclear technology (whose risks have been severely underestimated before development). In addition, the scientific risk analysis suggests that the high potential damage of artificial intelligence should be very serious, even if the probability of occurrence is very low.
