My background is a researcher in the field since 1980.
My position is that AI is a boon for humanity. It will create a lot
of new opportunity. With this new opportunity, society will adapt,
similar to the change from industrial age to information age. AI
will be human companion, a helper to improve our chance of survival. The
society is going through a rapid change. AI will be a technology to
enhance human to cope with solving problems of large scale and also it
will facilitate us to better manage our daily life.
