Quotable quotes from the World Artificial Intelligence Conference

Jack Ma Yun, co-chairman of the United Nations High-Level Panel on Digital Cooperation and founder of Alibaba

Humans cannot survive without the Earth, but the Earth can survive without humans. After the industrial revolution, mankind is able to look out from the Earth, land on the Moon, establish space stations and survive in outer space. Many great people started to explore the world outside the Earth. Mankind has huge rights, but the nature can "lay us off" at any time. Mankind should learn to coexist with nature.

A slowing down of growth in the economy is acceptable, but the growth of mankind is a must. I think AI should be translated as machine intelligence. The words we use, "artificial intelligence", come from thinking too highly of mankind. Many things are very hard to humans but far easier for machines.
