In the age of social networking, however, first impressions are sometimes made even before we actually meet someone in person-that is, by looking at their p

28、the Roman god, has two faces looking in opposite directions. So does artificial intelligence (AI).

34、lessen competition. This is unlikely to happen in the near future, but if it did it would be of great concern.It is too early to tell whether the positive changes brought by AI will outweigh the risk.
