俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京周四表示，他预计全球各地的冲突在短期内将持续下去。
Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that he expects the continuation of conflicts around the world in the near future.
普京在莫斯科举行的瓦尔代国际辩论俱乐部会议上表示，他认为这种可能性“很高”。他指出：“未来几年国际冲突的持续发生极有可能。我非常希望自己是错的。”
Putin told a meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club in Moscow that he sees the probability as "high." “The continuation of international conflicts in the coming years is very likely. I would very much like to be mistaken,” he noted.
他还表示，对联合国的运作存在合理担忧，称其运作方式“不如最初设想的那样具有协商性和民主性”。
He also said there were reasonable concerns about the functioning of the UN, which he said was operating in "a less collegial and democratic manner" than originally intended.
他说：“俄罗斯支持公平改革联合国的理念，但在没有内部共识的情况下，目前这是不可能的。”他还主张改革其结构，以反映世界的多样性。
"Russia supports the idea of a fair reform of the UN, but it is impossible now without an internal consensus," he said. He also advocated for reforming the structure so that it reflects the diversity of the world.
他说：“亚洲、非洲和拉丁美洲应在联合国中发挥越来越重要的作用。”
"Asia, Africa and Latin America should play an increasingly significant role in the UN," he said.
谈及人工智能时，普京表示，专家越来越警告称，人工智能的普及可能导致人们失去个性，被简化为一种共同的分母。
Turning to artificial intelligence, Putin said experts were increasingly warning that its spread could lead to people being stripped of their individuality and reduced to a common denominator.
他警告称，人工智能的发展可能导致“数字极权主义”。他说：“人工智能发展中可能出现的‘数字极权主义’将变得和过去的极权社会一样死胡同、黯淡无光且反人类。”
He warned that the development of AI could result in "digital totalitarianism." "Possible ‘digital totalitarianism' in the development of AI will become just as dead-end, bleak and anti-human as the totalitarian societies of the past," he said.
