![]() ![]() ![]() Humankind needs to wake up to AI, both its pathways and perils. Within two decades, aspects of daily life may be unrecognizable. AI has surpassed humans in speech and object recognition, even outperforming radiologists in diagnosing lung cancer. In the past five years, AI has shown it can learn games like chess in mere hours-and beat humans every time. Though the term has been around for half a century, it is only now, Kai-Fu Lee argues, that AI is poised to upend our society, just as the arrival of technologies like electricity and smart phones did before it. In a groundbreaking blend of science and imagination, the former president of Google China and a leading writer of speculative fiction join forces to answer an urgent question: How will artificial intelligence change our world over the next twenty years?ĪI will be the defining issue of the twenty-first century, but many people know little about it apart from visions of dystopian robots or flying cars. ![]()

The first question a translator of the Aeneid needs to ask is: who gets sung when arma virumque cano? John Dryden began modern English-language convention by singing “Arms, and the man.” But late twentieth-century translations of the Aeneid, Robert Fitzgerald’s, Robert Fagles’ and now Sarah Ruden’s, put our hero in his place by starting off “. But too often the Aeneid is read as a reflection of the Odyssey and the Iliad, when it really does shine with its own Roman light. In truth, outside the conventions of the medium, Vergil’s work is no more like Homer’s than Law & Order is like Dragnet. Familiarity with Homer enhances our appreciation of Vergil, and comparison of various translations of a single classical text puts the icing on the cake, but they are neither necessary to our pleasure nor are they impediments. “I started it, and it’s just like the Odyssey.” In fact, we derive much of our pleasure in reading the classics the same way we do from watching familiar television shows-not from absolute novelty, but from variation within frames. ![]() “Why should I read the Aeneid?” my teenaged daughter asked me, turning back to the umpteenth episode of Law & Order. ![]() ![]() The Aeneid by Vergil, translated by Sarah Ruden ![]() ![]() ![]() And I said, even more cool."
