李开复哥大毕业演讲：工程师的AI银河系漫游指南

I came to realize that by chasing these technologies， products， investments， and my career， my priorities were out-of-order。 I neglected my family。 My father had passed away。 My mother barely remembered me。 My kids had grown up。

One of the books I read during my illness was Bronnie Ware’s book about the regrets of people on their deathbeds。 She found that no one wished they’d worked harder or spent more time at the office or accumulated more possessions。 People’s top wish was that they had spent more time， sharing their love of their loved ones。

Fortunately， I am now in remission so I am here with you today。 I am spending much more time with my family。 I moved closer to my mother。 I travel with my wife， whether on business or for pleasure。 When my kids come home， I would take not two or three days off from work， but two or three weeks。

I also spent more time meaningfully connecting with more people。 I spent weekends traveling with my best friends。 I took my company on a one-week vacation to Silicon Valley -- their Mecca。 I met with young people who sent me questions on Facebook。 I reached out to people I offended years ago and asked for their forgiveness and friendship。 I wrote a book and shot a documentary to share what I had learned from my near-death experience。

My near-death experience not only changed my life and my values， it gave me an enlightened view about what AI should mean for humanity。 Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking have given us their view， a view where machines supersede humans completely， and we are to control them or become them。

With my near-death experience， I would like to offer an alternate ending to their prediction of the AI future。 Surely AI has， or will beat us on many analytical tasks with definitive decisions and outcomes。 But these tasks are not what make us human。 What makes us human is that we are able to love。

The moment when we see our new-born babies; the feeling of love-at-first-sight; the warm feeling from friends who listen to us empathetically; the feeling of self-actualization when we help someone in need。 Or if you want empirical proof， the fact that the placebo effect works。 These all demonstrate that we are far from understanding the human “heart”， let alone replicating it。 But we do know that humans uniquely are able to love and be loved。 Humans want to love and be loved。 That loving and being loved are what makes our lives worthwhile。

With this belief， we now know what we must do。 At a minimum， recognize and be thankful that we are loved。 If we can do better， return the love， and maybe a little bit more。 Finally， the highest level of love： Pay it forward。 Give love unconditionally。

Coming back to our AI theme， love differentiates us from AI。 Despite what science fiction movies may portray， I can tell you responsibly that AI programs cannot love。 They don’t even have feelings or self-consciousness。 AlphaGo may beat the world champion， but it has no fun playing the game， feels no happiness from winning， has no desire to hug a loved one after it wins。

And in the future， even if an AI diagnostic tool is 10 times more accurate than doctors， patients will not want a cold pronouncement from the tool： “you have 4th stage lymphoma and a 70% likelihood of dying within 5 years。” Patients will want a “doctor of love” who listens to our complaints， gives us encouragement， like “Kai-Fu had the same lymphoma， and he survived， so you can too”， and perhaps visits us at home， and is always available to talk to us。 This kind of “doctor of love” will not only make us feel better， and have greater confidence， but a placebo effect will kick in and increase our likelihood of recuperation。

This will solve the AI employment problem we mentioned earlier。 The number of “doctors of love” will outnumber today’s doctors。 The displaced workers can take up careers spreading love and experiences – whether a passionate tour guide， an attentive concierge， a funny bartender， an infectious sushi chef。 With the new “experts of love” titles many new kind of service jobs will be created。 And they don’t have to be “jobs”， they can be volunteers， at an orphanage or a retirement home。 This will give people jobs that AI cannot take away。 They will do the job with pride and a strong sense of self-actualization。 Most importantly， this will fill our planet with love and joy。
