What AI can do for her
Millenniumbutterfly
1. Has an immediate answer for any question I put to her.
2. Give me recommendations based on my preferences.
3. Self-driving cars make driving safer.
Careful reading
Read Para. 6-7 and fill in the blanks.
Advantages Disadvantages
Solution:___________________________________ Analyse and interpret vast amounts of data.
Solve problems that are too challenging for human experts.
It could be the most dangerous if it goes wrong or falls into the wrong hands.
We should embrace and regulate it
objective
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.

In the words of Professor Stephen Hawking, Artificial Intelligence will be"either the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity". Technology of Tomorrow Forum wants to hear your thoughts on Al. Is it our greatest human achievement so far Or is it the biggest threat to our existence
1. What's the function of the words of Stephen Hawking
A. To give the background.
B. To put forward the question.
C. To introduce the topic.
D. To express the purpose.
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. It used to feel like 50 per cent of my time was spent researching new restaurants. In contrast, my PA only needs a few seconds to find the right place. Every recommendation she gives me is great since she can predict if I will like a particular restaurant.

And speaking of hanging out, 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 on information. And as they won't be susceptible to human error, they'll certainly be a lot safer. 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, do think that developments in Al will on the whole make doing day-to-day things lot easier.

2.Why does Millenniumbutterfly think self-driving cars are much safer
A. A super-smart personal assistant is built into them.
B. They can learn to drive in the same way that we do.
C. They are not likely to be influenced by human error. D. They can make judgements based on information.
The technology you're using and enjoying today is a basic form of AI which can't think independently without programming. Of course, it could be very useful to have a more advanced form of Al—a truly independent form of artificial intelligence, capable of exercising 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"small" inconvenience 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. If not, it might wipe us all out!

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 They would just be among the first victims of AI. Nearly every job is potentially at risk in the long run. Even journalists are now being replaced with technology that can write basic news reports. As it is, almost 50 per cent of US jobs are at risk from automation in the next 20 years.
The truth is that none of us is prepared for the challenges of AI.

3.According to Popkid, why can AI expose people to risks
A. It can't think without programming and could be of little use.
B. It could regard people as a barrier that's in the way of a solution.
C. It is capable of exercising its own judgement.
D. It might think we're valuable enough to keep around.
Machine learning is something we have come to accept as a part of our modern world. I believe most of the value of Al lies in its capacity to analyse and interpret vast amounts of data, which means it can even solve problems that are too challenging for human experts.

But while super-intelligent AI could be the biggest leap forward in human history, if it goes wrong or falls into the wrong hands, it could also be the most dangerous. However, AI is not going to go away. We have no choice but to embrace it and regulate it. One thing I think we all agree on, though, is that saying "My AI did it" won't be any excuse for illegal or immoral behaviour!
