After 13.8 billion years of cosmic history, our universe has woken up and become aware of itself.
在138億年的歷史之后，我們的宇宙終于覺醒了，并開始有了自我意識。
From a small blue planet, tiny, conscious parts of our universe
從一顆藍色的小星球，宇宙中那些有了微小意識的部分，
have begun gazing out into the cosmos with telescopes, discovering something humbling.
開始用它們的望遠鏡，窺視整個宇宙，從而有了謙卑的發現。
We've discovered that our universe is vastly grander than our ancestors imagined
宇宙比我們祖先所想象的要大得多，
and that life seems to be an almost imperceptibly small perturbation on an otherwise dead universe.
使得生命顯得如同渺小的擾動，小到足以被忽視，但若沒有它們的存在，宇宙也沒了生命。
But we've also discovered something inspiring,
不過我們也發現了一些振奮人心的事，
which is that the technology we're developing has the potential to help life flourish like never before,
那就是我們所開發的技術，有著前所未有的潛能去促使生命變得更加繁盛，
not just for centuries but for billions of years, and not just on earth but throughout much of this amazing cosmos.
不僅僅只有幾個世紀，而是持續了數十億年；也不僅僅是地球上，甚至是在整個浩瀚的宇宙中。
I think of the earliest life as "Life 1.0" because it was really dumb, like bacteria, unable to learn anything during its lifetime.
我把最早的生命稱之為“生命1.0”，因為它那會兒還略顯蠢笨，就像細菌，在它們的一生中，也不會學到什么東西。
I think of us humans as "Life 2.0" because we can learn, which we in nerdy, geek speak,
我把我們人類稱為“生命2.0”，因為我們能夠學習，用技術宅男的話來說，
might think of as installing new software into our brains, like languages and job skills.
就像是在我們腦袋里裝了一個新的軟件，比如語言及工作技能。
"Life 3.0," which can design not only its software but also its hardware of course doesn't exist yet.
而“生命3.0”不僅能開始設計它的軟件，甚至還可以創造其硬件。當然，它目前還不存在。
But perhaps our technology has already made us "Life 2.1," with our artificial knees, pacemakers and cochlear implants.
但是也許我們的科技已經讓我們走進了“生命2.1”，因為現在我們有了人工膝蓋，心臟起搏器以及耳蝸植入技術。
So let's take a closer look at our relationship with technology, OK?
我們一起來聊聊人類和科技的關系吧！
As an example, the Apollo 11 moon mission was both successful and inspiring, showing that when we humans use technology wisely,
舉個例子，阿波羅11號月球任務很成功，令人備受鼓舞，展示出了我們人類對于使用科技的智慧，
we can accomplish things that our ancestors could only dream of.
我們實現了很多祖先們只能想象的事情。
But there's an even more inspiring journey propelled by something more powerful than rocket engines,
但還有一段更加鼓舞人心的旅程，由比火箭引擎更加強大的東西所推動著，
where the passengers aren't just three astronauts but all of humanity.
乘客也不僅僅只是三個宇航員，而是我們全人類。
Let's talk about our collective journey into the future with artificial intelligence.
讓我們來聊聊與人工智能一起走向未來的這段旅程。
