Ⅳ.阅读理解
Machine ethics is a new field of research that aims to develop moral machines.It’s all about creating machines that can make moral decisions based on computer technology.If artificial intelligence(AI) is to be used in the context of machine ethics,then similarly one can call it “Artificial Morality”(AM).
While AI’s goal is to model people’s cognitive abilities,AM is about equipping artificial systems with the ability for moral judgment and action.
One field of application for moral machines is the care of the elderly.Systems to be used in this context face moral choices like “should the system monitor the user around the clock and what should be done with the data collected?” It is about the privacy of the user and the care of the relatives.A second example of the need for moral machines is autonomous driving.Of particular difficulty are the moral dilemmas that may be encountered,such as the need to decide whether to sacrifice a small number of lives to save a larger number if unavoidable.
It could be argued,however,that it is not the care system or the autonomous car that makes a moral choice in these cases,but the programmers of those devices.But as the advances in artificial intelligence become greater,developers are less able to plan and predict what decisions a system will make in a specific situation.For example,AlphaGo Zero,which first knows only the basic rules of the game Go and then finds the optimal decision-making strategies by playing through a large number of games against itself.In no time,this system beat its predecessor AlphaGo,the first artificial system to defeat some of the world’s top human Go players.
Therefore,it is necessary to develop machines that have a degree of autonomous moral decision-making though the ethical basis of artificial systems is still not clear.Research groups in academia and in the industry should start thinking about the relevance of ethics and safety in AI.
语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了机器伦理——一个旨在发展道德机器的新研究领域。
