November 20, 2019 For Senior Science Fiction FansIt’s a special day. The story described in “The Blade Runner”, one of the classic works in the history of science fiction, happened on this day.
The story tells that in the future world, human beings can already make bionic people on a large scale. These bionics are exactly the same in appearance as humans, and their intelligence and physical strength are similar to humans. “They” do all kinds of dangerous work for human beings like slaves. Until one day, these bionics began a rebellion against humanity, and humans began to chase these bionics. Since the bionics are very similar in all respects to human beings, humans have to conduct a question-and-answer test on the arrested suspects, and test whether the suspects can show compassion and empathy in various situations to judge whether they are Belongs to humanity.
The climax of the whole film is undoubtedly the scene before the death of the bionic rebel leader. The white dove flies, the rain is raging, and the leader of the bionic person speaks the following immortal line:
“I have seen beauty beyond human imagination, I have seen space warships burning beside the Orion constellation, watching the rays of light shine in the darkness of the gate of heaven, and all past will disappear in time, as tears disappear In the rain … it’s time to die. “
At this moment, not only the “Blade Runner” as a hunter becomes confused, but the audience cannot help asking: Bionics with such profound understanding, Bloods and bloody slaughter Human, which one is more human?

November 20, 2019 has passed. This means that the story of “Blade Runner” is not the future, but the past. Compared with previous imagination, in today’s real world, we have not been able to create bionics that are similar to humans in all aspects, but artificial intelligence (AI) < / sThe impact of technological development represented by pan> on all aspects of human society has actually occurred.
World Education Innovation Summit (WISE) is a biennial educational event organized by the Qatar Foundation. This year is its tenth anniversary. On the Qingsheng video recorded for WISE, I mentioned that the most admirable thing about WISE is that the theme of each session is very precise, both in response to reality and in the future. This is my third time being invited to WISE. This conference was a coincidence. The opening was on November 20th, and the theme of the conference was “UnLearn ReLearn: What it means to be Human”.
The official Chinese translation given by the conference is “ Zeroing and Reconstruction: Learning New Human Capabilities Energy “.
I am very satisfied with the translation of the main title, because the English expression is very concise, but it is often difficult to find Chinese that is accurate and concise.
UnLearn translates to “return to zero”, which seems to be a bit decisive. Do n’t we count all the knowledge and skills we have learned in the past? If we can realize that UnLearn is actually the underlying human cognition and thinking paradigm, then “zeroing” is not only accurateAnd it is the ability necessary for survival and development in this time of great change.
Similarly, ReLearn not only means that human beings must continuously learn new knowledge and skills in response to new changes, but more importantly, “reconstruct” new cognitions and paradigms to understand the world, society, and ourselves.
I’m not very satisfied with the translation of the subtitles. Not only is the Chinese expression fluent, but the meaning is different from the original. What is called “the new possibility of mankind”, The original text is clearly reflecting on the nature of human beings, and it is a constant part of human nature in a changing world. I guess such a translation more or less reflects a more general subconscious: “In an era where AI is popular, an era in which human beings must be replaced by machines in many fields, how do humans adapt, and education must How to change to help humans adapt. “
It is true that education innovation and educational change have received more and more attention from various aspects in recent years, largely because of the era of AI, and the loss of competitiveness of individuals and the country. Panic. However, the reflection and criticism of mainstream school education, as well as the exploration of the nature of education and the various efforts of educational reform, did not begin in these years, nor because of some utilitarian considerations, but they have already existed since modern times. The century since the birth of the education system has been with us. I expressed this view in a speech entitled “Good Education Makes Us” Step into the River of Life without Fear “:
“ In my opinion, the greatest significance of artificial intelligence for human beings is to help us reflect on ‘what is human’; and the significance of education is to help us to ‘become human.’ ”
In this way, the subtitle what is means to be human is better to be honestly translated as “what is human?”
What on earth is it?
A short video was played at the WISE opening ceremony, answering the question: “ Creativity and collaboration make us humans (Creativity and collaboration makes us human) “. The following keynote speakers also expressed and demonstrated their views from different aspects.
