Is it our greatest human achievement so far？ Or is it the biggest threat to our existence？ 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） Millenniumbutterfly Thanks to AI， I’ve got my own super-smart personal assistant⑤ built into my phone.[1]  She always has an immediate answer for any question I put to her， and even uses my answers to learn more about my preferences⑥. It used to feel like 50 per cent of my time was spent researching new restaurants.In contrast⑦， my PA only needs a few seconds to find the right place.[2]Every recommendation⑧ she gives me is great since she can predict if I will like a particular restaurant. 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） 　　[1]and连接并列谓语；I put to her为省略了关系词的定语从句， 修饰先行词question。 　　[2]句子主干为Every recommendation is great； she gives me为省 略了关系词的定语从句，修饰先行词Every recommendation；since引 导原因状语从句；if引导宾语从句。 【读文清障】 ①artificial adj.人造的，人工的 artificial intelligence 人工智能 ②threat n.威胁 ③in the words of 用……的话说 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） ④happen to sb 发生在某人身上 ⑤assistant n.助手，助理 assist v.帮助，援助 assistance n.帮助，援助 ⑥preference n.爱好；偏好 prefer v.较喜欢 ⑦in contrast 相比之下 ⑧recommendation n.推荐；建议；介绍 recommend v.推荐；建议；介绍 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） And speaking of hanging out⑨， I’m hoping that self-driving cars are available soon.I’ve been taking driving lessons for over a year， and still haven’t got my licence.Self-driving cars can learn to drive in the same way that we do， and can make judgements based on⑩ information.And as they won’t be susceptible⑪ to human error⑫， they’ll certainly be a lot safer.[3]The only thing is that there might be a few machine-learning problems when the first cars hit the market， so perhaps I’d better learn to drive first. Still， I do think that developments in AI will on the whole⑬ make doing day-to-day things a lot easier. 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） 　　[3]本句为so连接的并列句。在第一个分句中，that引导表语从 句；when引导时间状语从句；在第二个分句中，to drive为动词不定 式作宾语。 ⑨hang out 闲逛 ⑩be based on 基于……，在……基础上 ⑪susceptible adj.易受影响的 be susceptible to 易受……影响 ⑫human error 人为错误 ⑬on the whole 总的来说；基本上，大体上 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） Popkid [4]The technology you’re using and enjoying today is a basic form of AI which can’t think independently without programming⑭. Of course， it could be very useful to have a more advanced form of AI — a truly independent form of artificial intelligence， capable of⑮ exercising⑯ its own judgement， could help us solve many of the world’s problems.But have you ever thought about the risks？ After all， why would an independent form of AI need to consider the opinions and desires of humans？ We could be seen as a “small” inconvenience⑰ that’s in the way of a solution to a bigger problem.If we’re lucky， AI might think we’re valuable enough to keep around.[5]If not， it might wipe us all out⑱！ 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） 　　[4]you’re using and enjoying today为省略了关系词的定语从 句，修饰先行词technology；which引导定语从句。 　　[5]if not为if引导的条件状语从句的省略句。 ⑭programme v.为……设定程序 n.（计算机）程序设计，程序编制，编程 ⑮be capable of 能够…… ⑯exercise v.运用，使用 ⑰inconvenience n.不便；麻烦 convenience n.方便，便利 convenient adj.方便的，便利的 ⑱wipe out 彻底消失；全部摧毁 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） Even if that doesn’t happen， there are other risks.Millenniumbutterfly， you say how great it would be to have self- driving cars， but what about all the taxi drivers who would lose their jobs ⑲？ They would just be among the first victims⑳ of AI. Nearly every job is potentially㉑ at risk in the long run㉒.Even journalists are now being replaced with㉓ technology that can write basic news reports.As it is㉔， almost 50 per cent of US jobs are at risk from automation㉕ in the next 20 years. The truth is that none of us is prepared for㉖ the challenges of AI. 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） Pink_haze Machine learning is something we have come to accept as a part of our modern world.I believe most of the value of AI lies in㉗ its capacity㉘ to analyse㉙ and interpret㉚ vast amounts of data㉛， which means it can even solve problems that are too challenging for human experts. 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） But while super-intelligent AI could be the biggest leap㉜ forward in human history， if it goes wrong or falls into the wrong hands㉝， it could also be the most dangerous.However， AI is not going to go away.We have no choice but to㉞ embrace it and regulate㉟ it.One thing I think we all agree on， though， is that saying “My AI did it！” won’t be any excuse for illegal㊱ or immoral㊲ behaviour！ 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） ⑲lose one’s job 失去工作，失业 ⑳victim n.受害者 ㉑potentially adv.潜在地 potential adj.潜在的 n.潜力 ㉒in the long run 从长远来看 ㉓be replaced with 被……取代 ㉔as it is 实际上 ㉕automation n.自动化 ㉖be prepared for 为……做好准备 ㉗lie in （问题、答案、责任等）存在，在于 ㉘capacity n.能力，才能 ㉙analyse v.分析 analysis n.分析 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） ㉚interpret v.诠释，解释 ㉛vast amounts of data大量的数据 ㉜leap n.剧变；飞跃 ㉝fall into the wrong hands 落入坏人手中 ㉞have no choice but to do sth 除了做某事别无选择 ㉟regulate v.控制，管理 regulation n.章程，法规 ㊱illegal adj.非法的，违法的 legal adj.合法的 ㊲immoral adj.不道德的，道德败坏的 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） 【参考译文】 人工智能：真正的威胁？ 用斯蒂芬·霍金教授的话说，人工智能将是“人类有史以来最好 或最坏的事情”。明日科技论坛希望听到您对人工智能的想法。到目 前为止，人工智能算是我们人类最伟大的成就还是对我们生存的最大 威胁呢？ 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） 千禧蝶 多亏了人工智能，我才可以在手机中内置个人超级智能私人助 手。我向她提任何问题，她总能立即答复，甚至可以通过我的答案了 解更多关于我的个人偏好。过去，我觉得自己有50%的时间花在了研 究新餐厅上。相比之下，有了私人助手，只需数秒就能找到正确的餐 厅了。因为她可以预测我是否会喜欢某一个餐厅，所以她给我的每一 个建议都很棒。 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） 说到出去玩，我希望自动驾驶汽车能很快面世。我已经上驾驶课 一年多了，但仍然没有拿到驾照。自动驾驶汽车可以学习与我们相同 的驾驶模式，并且可以根据信息做出判断。而且由于它们不会受到人 为错误的影响，肯定会安全得多。唯一的问题是，当第一批汽车上市 时，可能会有一些机器学习问题，所以也许我最好先学会驾驶。不 过，我确实认为，总体而言，人工智能的发展将使日常工作变得更加 容易。 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） 小破孩儿 你今天正在使用和享受的技术是人工智能的基本形式，没有程序 它就无法独立思考。当然，拥有更先进的人工智能形式非常有用，这 种更先进的人工智能形式是一种真正独立的人工智能形式，能够运用 自己的判断力，可以帮助我们解决世界上的许多问题。但是你是否考 虑过风险？毕竟，为什么独立的人工智能形式需要考虑人类的选择和 欲望？我们可能会被视为解决更大问题道路上的一个“小”麻烦。如 果幸运的话，人工智能可能会认为我们足够有价值，可以留下来。否 则，它可能会消灭我们所有人！ 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） 尽管还没有发生什么，但确实存在其他的风险。千禧蝶，你说拥 有自动驾驶汽车会很棒，但出租车司机会失业这个问题呢？他们将会 是人工智能的第一批受害者。长此以往，几乎所有工作都可能处于潜 在危险之中。甚至现在的新闻工作者也正在被可以撰写简单的新闻报 道的技术所取代。实际上，在未来20年中，美国有将近50%的工作会 受到自动化的威胁。 事实上，我们中没有人做好了面对人工智能的挑战的准备。 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） 粉红_烟雾 机器学习作为现代世界的一部分，已经成为我们接受的东西。我 认为人工智能的大部分价值在于它分析和解析庞大数据的能力，也就 是说它甚至能够解决对于人类专家来说具有挑战性的问题。 虽然超智能AI可能是人类有史以来的最大飞跃，但如果出错或者 落入坏人手中，它同时可能是最危险的。但是，人工智能不会消失。 我们别无选择，只能接受它并加以规范。不过，我想大家都认可的一 点就是，“这是我的AI做的！” 这句话不会成为非法行为或不道德行 为的任何借口。 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） 文本透析·剖语篇 助力语篇理解 2 目录 第一步：析架构理清脉络 Read the passage quickly and then fill in the blanks. 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） 第二步：知细节明察秋毫 Read the passage carefully and choose the best answers. 1.

It began by offering an electronic system for keeping medical notes and is now among several companies hoping to use artificial intelligence chatbots （聊天机器人） to make a difference in medicine. These firms believe that their programs could significantly reduce the paperwork pressure physicians face daily， and improve the patient-doctor relationship. “We need these folks not in burnt-out states， trying to complete documentation，” Paul says. 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） 　　Some independent researchers have expressed their fears of the rush to include the latest AI technology in medicine. “I think it’s very exciting， but anything that involves decision-making about a patient’s health should be treated with extreme care，” says Pearse Keane， a professor of artificial medical intelligence at University College London in the United Kingdom. 　　Paul says he is well aware of the problems and that doctors who use his company’s AI system need to check it. “You have to supervise （监 督） it in the way you supervise medical students， which means that you can’t be lazy about it，” he says. 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） 　　His company is now working to reduce the risk of errors. He believes the underlying technology can be turned into a powerful engine for medicine. Paul and his co-workers have created a program called “Glass AI” based on ChatGPT. A doctor tells the Glass AI chatbot about a patient， and it can suggest a list of possible diagnoses （诊断） and a treatment plan. Rather than working from the raw ChatGPT information base， the Glass AI system uses a virtual medical textbook written by human doctors as its main source of facts — something Paul says makes the system safer and more reliable. 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） 　　Last December， his company had around 500 users. But after they introduced their chatbot， the numbers jumped.“We finished January with 2，000 monthly active users， and in February we had 4，800，” Paul says. Thousands more signed up in March， as overworked doctors lined up to give AI a try. 语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了Glass Health公司 如何利用人工智能技术改变医疗行业，以及该技术的用户增长情 况。文章还提到了独立研究人员对该技术的担忧和Paul的回应。 语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了Glass Health公司 如何利用人工智能技术改变医疗行业，以及该技术的用户增长情 况。文章还提到了独立研究人员对该技术的担忧和Paul的回应。 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） 1.

More and more people are using simple， free tools， not only to decode text but also to speak. With these apps’ conversation mode， you talk into a phone and a spoken translation is heard moments later； the app can also listen for another language and produce a translation in yours. 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） 　　Others are less worried.Most people do not move abroad or have the kind of on-going contact with a foreign culture that requires them to put in the work to become fluent. Nor do most people learn languages for the purpose of humanising themselves or training their brains. On their holiday， they just want a beer and the spaghetti without incident. 　　Douglas Hofstadter， an expert in many languages， has argued that something profound （深刻的） will disappear when people talk through machines. He describes giving a broken， difficult speech in Chinese， which required a lot of work but offered a sense of satisfaction at the end. 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） 　　As AI translation becomes an even more popular labor-saving tool， people can be divided into two groups. There will be those who want to stretch their minds， expose themselves to other cultures or force their thinking into new pathways. This group will still take on language study， often aided by technology. Others will look at learning a new language with a mix of admiration and puzzlement， as they might with extreme endurance （耐力） sports： “Good for you， if that’s your thing， but a bit painful for my taste.” 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） 　　But a focus on the learner alone misses the fundamentally social nature of language. It is a bit like analysing the benefits of close relationships to heart-health but overlooking the inherent （固有的） value of those bonds themselves. When you try to ask directions in broken Japanese or ruin a joke in broken German， you are making direct contact with someone. And when you speak a language well enough to tell a story with perfect timing or put delicate differences on an argument， that connection is more profound still. The best relationships do not require a medium. 目录 英语·选择性必修第三册（WY） 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。一些人担心，人工智能工具正在把 语言学习变成一种弱化的追求，文章对这种现象进行了介绍。 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。一些人担心，人工智能工具正在把 语言学习变成一种弱化的追求，文章对这种现象进行了介绍。 5.
