Computer scientist, John McCarthy coined the term “artificial intelligence”. 1950 coin：创造（新词语） 图灵测试（The Turing test）由艾伦·麦席森·图灵提出，测试流程 - 参与者：一名人类评判员、一台计算机和一名人类。 - 方式：评判员通过文本（如键盘输入）与计算机和人类对话，但不知道对方的真实身份。 - 目标：如果评判员无法可靠区分计算机和人类（例如正确率低于50%），则计算机通过测试。 John McCarthy（1927年9月4日-2011年10月24日），1927年9月4日生于美国波士顿，计算机科学家与认知科学家。被称为“人工智能之父”。 Milestones in Artificial Intelligence (AI) 1955 1972 2001 Mathematician and logician, Alan Turing devised(发明) the Turing Test, a test on the ability of machines to show human-like intelligence. Computer scientist, John McCarthy coined the term “artificial intelligence”. Shakey, the first mobile robot able to make decisions, according to reason, was completed. The Electrolux Trilobite, the first robotic vacuum cleaner designed for home use, went on sale. 1950 “Shakey” was the first mobile robot with the ability to perceive and reason about its surroundings. It was a mobile robot with cameras and touch sensors, controlled by a large remote computer.  The Electrolux Trilobite is a robotic  vacuum cleaner manufactured by the  Swedish corporation Electrolux. It takes its name from the extinct arthropod,  which scoured the ocean’s floor.  Milestones in Artificial Intelligence (AI) 1955 1972 2001 2015 2017 Mathematician and logician, Alan Turing devised(发明) the Turing Test, a test on the ability of machines to show human-like intelligence. Computer scientist, John McCarthy coined the term “artificial intelligence”. Shakey, the first mobile robot able to make decisions, according to reason, was completed. The Electrolux Trilobite, the first robotic vacuum cleaner designed for home use, went on sale. AlphaGo became the first computer program to beat a human professional Go player. AlphaGo Zero beat the previous version of AlphaGo by 100 games to nil. 1950 阿尔法围棋（AlphaGo）是第一个击败人类职业围棋选手、第一个战胜围棋世界冠军的人工智能机器人，由谷歌（Google）旗下DeepMind公司戴密斯·哈萨比斯领衔的团队开发。其主要工作原理是“深度学习”。 Read the facts about AI and answer the questions. Milestones in Artificial Intelligence 2020 OpenAI released GPT-3, which is a generative pre-trained model capable of performing a variety of language tasks, marking a breakthrough in NLP technology. 2024 DeepSeek-V3, a significant open-source MoE language model, narrows the gap between open-source and closed-source models. Its open-source nature promotes innovation and competition in the industry. ? ? Fast-reading Read the passage quickly and answer questions. 1. What is the text mainly about? A. Self-driving cars. B. The biggest threat. C. Three views on AI in a forum. D. The greatest human achievement. 2. Where does the passage probably come form? A. Newspaper B. Online forum C. Magazine D. Research paper Para. 1 Para. 3 Para. 4 Para. 5 Para. 6 Para. 7 Read for the main idea of each paragraph and the passage structure. a. AI can make driving a lot safer. b. AI can help save time. c. AI might wipe human beings out. d. AI can save problems which are challenging for experts. e. Human beings may lose jobs due to the development of AI. f. Human beings are not prepared for challenges brought by AI. g. AI should be embraced and regulated. Para. 2 Part I Millenniumbutterfly's attitude to AI Part II Popkid’s opinion about AI Part III Pink_haze’s opinion about AI Read the opinions and match them to the persons. Talk about the opinion you agree with. We all need to learn to live with AI technology whether we like it or are concerned about it. We cannot stop the march of progress. I admit that more advanced AI could be helpful in solving the world’s problems, but there is a high level of risk involved. I can’t understand why some people worry so much. I hope more breakthroughs in AI will be made soon, so that we can enjoy more and more convenience. Read for details What did Stephen Hawking mean when he said that AI will be “either the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity”? He meant that AI could bring us incredible benefits, but only if the technology is managed properly. If we do not manage the technology properly, it could result in human extinction. What is the function of the words of Stephen Hawking? A. To introduce the topic. B. To express the purpose. C. To give the background. D. To put forward the question. Artificial intelligence will be “either the best, or the worst thing ever to happen to humanity”. ---Stephen Hawking para. 1-2 What is Millenniumbutterfly’s attitude to AI? A. Negative. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Positive Thanks to AI, I`ve got my own super-smart personal assistant built into my phone. She always has an immediate answer for any question I put to her , and even uses my answers to learn more about my preferences. Speaking of hanging out, I `m hoping that self-driving cars are available soon. Self-driving cars can learn to drive in the same way that we do, and can make judgements based on information.
