alf of current jobs will be taken over by AI within 15 years, China's leading AI expert has warned.

中国顶级人工智能专家日前警告称，15年内人工智能将夺走人类现在一半的工作。

Kai-Fu Lee, the author of the bestselling book "AI Superpowers: China, Silicon¹ Valley, and the New World Order", told Dailymail.com the world of employment was facing a crisis "akin² to that faced by farmers during the industrial revolution".

畅销书《人工智能超级力量：中国、硅谷和新世界秩序》的作者李开复向《每日邮报》网站透露，全世界的职业都面临着一场危机，严重程度“堪比工业革命时期农民所遭受的威胁”。

Lee, who is a VC in China and once headed up Google in the region, has over 30 years of experience in AI.

李开复是中国的一位风险投资人，曾经是谷歌在中国的主管，他在人工智能方面有超过30年的经验。

He believes it is imperative³ to "warn people there is displacement⁴ coming, and to tell them how they can start retraining".

他认为非常有必要“警告人们将会有替代自己的机器人出现，并告诉人们如何开始重新接受培训。”

李开复称15年内全球半数工作将被人工智能取代

Luckily, he said all is not lost for humanity. "AI is powerful and adaptable⁵, but it can't do everything that humans do."

他指出，幸运的是，人类并不会无事可做。“人工智能既强大又善于应变，但不能胜任人类的一切工作。”

Lee believes AI cannot create, conceptualize, or do complex strategic planning, or undertake complex work that requires precise hand-eye coordination⁶.

李开复认为，人工智能不能创造、概念化，也不能做复杂的战略规划，或承担需要精细的手眼协调的复杂工作。

He also says it is poor at dealing⁷ with unknown and unstructured spaces.

他还表示，人工智能不善于应对未知和缺乏结构的空间。

Crucially, he says AI cannot interact with humans "exactly like humans", with empathy, human-to-human connection, and compassion⁸.

他说，最关键的是，人工智能无法“完全像人类那样”与人互动，缺乏同理心、同情心，无法进行人与人之间的心灵沟通。

Psychiatrists⁹, social workers and marriage counselors¹⁰ are unlikely to lose their jobs, along with nurses, AI researchers and scientists, he believes.

李开复认为，精神病医生、社会工作者、婚姻顾问，以及护士、人工智能研究人员和科学家都不容易失业。
