我怀疑几乎所有的学生都在使用人工智能，我为其造成的侵蚀性影响感到担忧。我们绝不能将我们的长期健康托付给科技公司。德维·斯里达尔教授是爱丁堡大学全球公共卫生讲席教授。21世纪初，当我在牛津大学读研究生时，曾去一家大型咨询公司面试。我所有的朋友都在被招募，我想为什么不去试一试呢？除了常规的数学能力测试（在客户面前以多快的速度处理数字并显得聪明）之外，我被问及流媒体的未来会是什么样。我给出了一个冗长的回答，关于当新技术引入时，改变人类彼此互动方式所带来的意想不到的后果，以及为什么这可能不符合健康和社会的最佳利益。
I suspect nearly all of my students use AI, and I worry about its corrosive effects. We must not entrust tech companies with our long-term health Prof Devi Sridhar is chair of global public health at the University of Edinburgh When I was a postgraduate student at the University of Oxford in the early 2000s, I interviewed for a major consulting firm. All my friends were being recruited, and I thought why not give it a shot? Aside from the usual maths-proficiency test (how quickly can you crunch numbers in front of a client and look smart), I was asked about what the future of streaming could look like. I gave a long-winded answer about the unintended consequences of changing how humans interact with each other when a new technology is introduced, and why this may not be in the best interests of health and society.
我甚至记得自己说过这样的话：“你能想象仅仅被困在家里，孤零零地看了一集又一集节目，再也不用挪动或见到其他人吗？为什么有人会选择这种生活，而不是去当地的小店租一张DVD，或者去电影院呢？”你会毫不惊讶地得知，我并没有收到后续面试的邀请。
I even remember saying something like: “Can you imagine just being stuck at home, alone, watching show after show and never having to move or see any other people? Why would anyone choose that over going out to rent a DVD at a local shop, or to a movie theatre?” You won’t be surprised to learn that I wasn’t invited for a follow-up interview.
