Look for Friendship in Cyberspace

In so many ways, cyberspace mirrors the real world. People ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love.

Unlike the real world, however, you know a person only by the words on a computer screen. Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. Rather, a person’s thoughts—or at least the thoughts they type—are what really count. So even the shyest person can become a chat room star.

Usually, this “faceless” communication doesn’t create problems. Identity doesn’t really matter when you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this special attention on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. Where else can so many people come together to chat?

But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with. They’re looking for true friendship. Is cyberspace a good place to find it? That answer depends on whom you ask. Some may succeed while others may fall.

Supporters of online relationships claim that the Internet allows people to get to know each other intellectually and helps them share something useful.

But others think that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. Why? Because Internet users can carefully choose their words to fit whatever image they want to give. In a sense, they’re not really themselves.

All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not knowing a person is a big problem. With so many unknowns, it’s easy to let one’s imagination “fill in the blanks”. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different from the real person.

1. What does the author mainly want to tell us in the second paragraph?

A. The advantage of using the Internet for a shy person.

B. The problem of “faceless” communication online.

C. The importance of the identity of users.

D. The difference between the real world and the Internet.

2. Which of the following CANNOT be learnt from the passage?

A. The Internet is a great place for discussing politics and hobbies.

B. Identity is not so important in the chat room as in the real world.

C. Cyberspace has a great influence on the development of a person’s character.

D. True friendship can be found on the Internet.

3. The underlined words “the blanks” refer to ______.

A. the space in the chat room

B. the unknowns about a person

C. unknown friends

D. problems

Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革).

In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.

As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super-smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow-AI” to Artificial General Intelligence. From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now-several decades before these developments are expected to take place. She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.

Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI-the technology companies and world leaders-so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are
