If a craftsman from a hundred years ago were allowed to travel to today, he might be stunned by the speeding high-speed trains and the ubiquitous Internet. But what scares him more is probably not these steel behemoths, but the collective anxiety about "losing control" that permeates the air. From steam engines replacing handwork to AI challenging brain power, human beings have always teetered on the tightrope between "creating miracles" and "creating monsters." We enjoy the ultimate convenience brought by technology and rely on algorithms and electricity as much as we rely on water and air, but deep down in our hearts, the ancient fable about "playing with fire and burning yourself" has never been far away. When intelligent agents begin to think like humans, when new energy attempts to rewrite the pulse of the earth, we stand at a new crossroads, listening to questions and cheers coming from all directions, with mixed feelings in our hearts: Is this the ladder to heaven, or is it the prelude to the opening of Pandora's box?
