Citigroup's Yu Xiangrong: Embrace AI, But Avoid the Turing Trap

Deep News
Yesterday

Yu Xiangrong, Chief Economist for Greater China at Citigroup, stated that we must embrace AI and the new economy, but also avoid the Turing trap.

He explained that the so-called Turing trap refers to humanity's tendency to create machines that are sufficiently intelligent to be indistinguishable from humans. However, this creates a paradox: if a machine is smart enough to be indistinguishable from a human, it can replace humans, which could lead to a cliff-like drop in human value.

He pointed out that there are two types of technological progress: one that replaces humans, and another that enhances human value and efficiency. The "15th Five-Year Plan" makes it very clear that the primary goal for the future is to promote well-rounded human development. Therefore, in the realm of science and technology policy, this principle should serve as the guiding spirit.
