Artificial intelligence: friendly or frightening?
Imagine waking up one morning with the option of staying in bed and pressing a button to send a robot to do all the work for you. How cool that would be! It may seem like building castles① in the air, but given the rate at which artificial intelligence, or AI, is being developed, in the future such dreams may actually come true.
句中given用作介词,意为“考虑到”,相当于considering/in view of;at which artificial intelligence, or AI, is being developed为定语从句。
At the basic level, artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science that aims to create intelligent machines. One of the essential aims of AI is to develop computer intelligence capable of learning from experience, adjusting to new inputs② and performing tasks like humans. To achieve this aim, many approaches to creating true AI have been put forward, including “deep learning”, which enables a machine to improve its own performance by learning from the results of its previous actions. Deeplearning AI has the capacity③ to analyse④ massive⑤ amounts of data through multiple layers, imitating the complex networks⑥ of the human brain.
句中At the basic level为介词短语作状语;that aims to create intelligent machines是定语从句;aim to do sth.意在做某事。
句中To achieve this aim是不定式短语作目的状语; have been put forward是现在完成时的被动语态;which引导非限制性定语从句。
The dream of AI has been around for centuries, and the development of computers since the 1940s has finally made it a reality. Years before the term “artificial intelligence” was coined⑦ in the mid1950s, the theory had been explored by Alan Turing, one of the pioneers in the field of computer science. However, for a long time, AI technology developed very slowly. A major breakthrough⑧ in AI came in 1997, when Deep Blue, a chessplaying computer, beat the world chess champion Garry Kasparov. Then in 2017, a computer program named AlphaGo defeated Ke Jie, arguably the best human Go player, which demonstrated a significant advance in deeplearning AI systems.
句中Then in 2017是时间状语;named AlphaGo是过去分词短语作定语;which demonstrated a significant advance in deeplearning AI systems是定语从句。
Nowadays, AI is already being applied in many fields: finance⑨, health care, machine translation and art, to name but a fewB10. From autonomous⑪ vehicles to domestic⑫ robots, from recommendation systems to computers writing novels, AI has an unlimited number of applications. Ordinary people are now using AI to get instant translations of text in foreign languages, and machines can recognize fingerprints and even faces.
In short, this technology is transforming the way we live. It is clear that we are at a turning point in history. With machines like AlphaGo now capable of thinking and learning from their mistakes, we are getting closer to the dividing line between humans and machines. The question is, where will all this lead? While AI enthusiasts promise us a bright future where intelligent robots will be working to our advantage, these undoubted benefits also bring concerns and fears. Could machines really develop humanlike intelligence? And what would happen if they did? Would thinking machines work alongside humans or threaten⑬ the existence of humans? How would they be punished if they committed crimes⑭ or even murdered⑮ humans? As we become more and more dependent on computers, some scientists are urging⑯ us to think about the dangers posed⑰ by the advances in AI. Stephen Hawking, for example, warned, “The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.”
句中While AI enthusiasts promise us a bright future是状语从句;where intelligent robots will be working to our advantage是定语从句。
Apparently ⑱, such warnings⑲ demand⑳ our attention. We need to make sure that we will not fall victim to AI. We may still think it would be fantastic to relax all day and allow autonomous machines to do all the work for us—but perhaps we should not be too greedy and rather be careful what we wish for!
人工智能:是敌是友?
想象一下,某天早上你醒来,可以选择继续躺在床上,按下一个按钮,就能召来一台机器人为你处理所有的工作。那该有多酷啊!这听起来可能像幻想,但鉴于人工智能(AI)目前的发展速度,这样的梦想在将来也许真的可以实现。
从基础层面上讲,人工智能是计算机科学的一个分支学科,其目标是创建智能机器。AI的基本目标之一,是开发能够学习过往经验、适应新的输入内容并且能够像人类一样执行任务的计算机智能。为了实现这个目标,人们提出过许多创造真正AI的方法,其中包括“深度学习”,这种方法可以让机器通过学习自己先前的行为结果,来提升自身性能。深度学习AI拥有从多个层次分析海量信息的能力,它模拟的是人脑的复杂网络结构。
AI的梦想已经存在了几个世纪,而20世纪40年代以来计算机的发展,终于让这个梦想成为现实。“人工智能”这个术语是在20世纪50年代中期被创造出来的,而在好几年前,这一理论就被计算机科学领域的先驱之一艾伦·图灵探索过。然而在很长一段时间里,AI技术发展得相当缓慢。1997年,AI发展有了一个重大突破,当时一台名叫深蓝的国际象棋计算机打败了国际象棋世界冠军加里·卡斯帕罗夫。之后在2017年,一个叫阿尔法围棋的计算机程序下赢了可谓人类最强的围棋棋手柯洁,这说明了深度学习AI系统的一大显著进展。
如今,AI已经应用于许多领域,如金融、医疗保健、机器翻译和艺术等,不一而足。从自动驾驶车辆到家用机器人,从推荐系统到撰写小说的电脑,AI有着不计其数的应用。普通人现在能够使用AI获取外语文本的即时翻译,机器也已经能够识别人们的指纹甚至面容。
简而言之,这项技术正在改变我们的生活方式。显然,我们正处于历史的转折点。有了阿尔法围棋这种能够思考并从自身错误中学习的机器,我们正在向人类与机器的界限越靠越近。问题在于,这一切将会导致什么? AI的热烈支持者向我们承诺未来会是美好的,到那时智能机器人将为人类谋利;但这些毋庸置疑的好处也带来了忧虑和恐惧。机器真的能够发展出像人类一样的智能吗?如果真的可以,又会发生什么?能够思考的机器是会与人类并肩工作,还是会威胁人类的生存?如果它们犯了罪甚至谋杀了人类,又该如何惩罚?随着我们对电脑的依赖越来越深,一些科学家正敦促我们思考AI的进步所带来的危险。例如,斯蒂芬·霍金就曾警告说:“完全人工智能的发展可能意味着人类的终结。”
显然,这样的警告需要得到我们的重视。我们需要确保自己不会沦为AI的受害者。我们可能还是会认为,可以整天放松,让自动化机器为我们完成所有工作,这样的生活很美妙——但也许我们不该太过贪婪,而应对我们的期待保持谨慎!

9.“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句
[教材P44] It may seem like building castles in the air, but given the rate at which artificial intelligence, or AI, is being developed, in the future such dreams may actually come true.
这听起来可能像是幻想,但鉴于人工智能(AI)目前的发展速度,这样的梦想在将来也许真的可以实现。
at which artificial intelligence,or AI, is being developed是“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句,关系代词在定语从句中充当介词的宾语。
当先行词为物时,用“介词+which”;如果先行词为人时,用“介词+whom”。who和that不能用于此结构,但介词后置时who和that可以用作引导词,如果作宾语也可以省略。
“介词+关系代词”中介词的确定方法:
(1)根据先行词与介词的搭配习惯来确定。
(2)根据定语从句中的谓语动词或形容词确定介词,该动词或形容词常与某些介词构成固定搭配。
(3)根据句子的意思确定介词。
有些句子,先行词完全一样,定语从句中谓语动词也不是固定的动词短语。这时,需要根据句子所要表达的意思选用不同的介词。
(1)She is the very person to whom I turned for help.
=She is the very person whom/that/who I turned to for help.
她就是那个我求助的人。
(2)I remember the day on which I joined the army.
我记得我参军的那一天。(表示具体的“在哪一天”,用介词on)
(3)The book discusses the extent to which family life has changed over the past 50 years.
本书论述了近50年来家庭生活的变化程度。(to the extent在某种程度上,为固定短语)
(4)He is the man for whom I'm waiting a long time.
他是我等了很久的那个人。(wait for等待,为固定搭配)

10.as引导状语从句
[教材P47] Moreover, there is growing concern that we might fall victim to this technology, as there are cases in which hackers have broken into facial recognition systems by using people's social media photos to build models of their faces.
而且,已有黑客利用社交媒体上的照片来制作脸部模型并侵入脸部识别系统的案例发生,这让人们越来越担心自己会成为这一技术的受害者。
这是一个复杂的主从复合句。that we might fall victim to this technology是同位语从句;in which hackers have broken into facial recognition systems by using people's social media photos to build models of their faces是定语从句。
(1)as引导时间状语从句。“当……时候”。
(2)as引导方式状语从句。“按照,如同”。
(3)as引导原因状语从句。“由于,鉴于”。
(4)as引导让步状语从句。“虽然,尽管”,而且引导让步状语从句时句子要倒装。
(5)as引导比较状语从句。as ...as。前一个as是副词,后一个as是比较状语从句的连词。
(1)As I was going out, it began to rain.
当我出门时,开始下雨了。(as强调两个动作紧接着发生,不强调下雨的特定时间。)
