But it is worth listening to some of the big warnings too. Last month, Kate Crawford, principal researcher at Microsoft Research, warned that the increasing power of AI could result in a 揻ascist抯 dream?if the technology were misused by authoritarian regimes. 关于人工智能的变革威力，人们提出了很多大胆的设想。但我们也有必要听听一些严重警告。上月，微软研究院(Microsoft Research)首席研究员凯特?克劳福德(Kate Crawford)警告称，如果被威权政府滥用，威力与日俱增的人工智能可能会酿成一场“法西斯梦”。 “Just as we are seeing a step function increase in the speed of AI, something else is happening: the rise of ultra-nationalism, rightwing authoritarianism and fascism,” Ms Crawford told the SXSW tech conference. 克劳福德在SXSW科技大会上表示：“就在我们看到人工智能的发展速度呈阶梯型上升时，其他一些事情也在发生：极端民族主义、右翼威权主义和法西斯主义崛起。” The creation of vast data registries, the targeting of population groups, the abuse of predictive policing and the manipulation of political beliefs could all be enabled by AI, she said. 她表示，人工智能可能带来庞大的数据登记册、针对特定人口群体、滥用预测型警务以及操纵政治信仰。 Ms Crawford is not alone in expressing concern about the misapplication of powerful new technologies, sometimes in unintentional ways.
