(1)What’s Al
、
(2) Do you use Al in your daily life What other roles can Al play in people 's lives
Learning Objectives:After this class, you’ll learn 1. How to obtain the main information of the article by skimming the text, and summarize the different views of the three posters on artificial intelligence;2. How to understand the discourse structure and language characteristics by close reading of the text, and will use the learned expressions for communication;3. How to view the artificial intelligence technology dialectically and deepen their understanding of the unit theme.
Read the facts and answer the questions.

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(清扫) 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
Pre-readingActivity1.Read the facts about Al and answer the questions.1.What can you learn from the timeline 2. Are you concerned about developments in Al Why or why not 3. How do you think Al will develop in the future
From the timeline, we can learn that AI technology has developed greatly, and can now outperform humans in some aspects.
Fast reading
Read the passage and get the main idea.
Careful reading
Read part1 and answer the questions.1)Why is Professor Stephen Hawking mentioned in the beginning A. To use the celebrity effect.B. To attract the readers.C. To lead to the topic.D. To impress the readers.
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 AI. Is it our greatest human achievement so far Or is it the biggest threat to our existence
Read paragraph1&2 and answer the questions.
(1)What made illenniumbutterfly save much time in looking for restaurants A. Her Al personal assistant.B. Her super-smart phone.C. Her own questions.D. Her own preferences.(2)Why does Millenniumbutterfly want to buy a self- driving car A. Because she likes hanging out.B. Because she hates taking driving lessons.C. Because it won't be susceptible to human error.D.Because there might be machine- learning
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, I do think that developments in AI will on the whole make doing day-to-day things a lot easier.
Read paragraph3，4&5 answer the questions.
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 AI — 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 a “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.
What will happen if Al thinks we're invaluable A. Al will exercise its own judgement.B. Al will programme by itself.C. Al will help us solve problems.D. Al will make us at great risk.
Read paragraph6&7 and answer the questions.
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 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!
4.What does the word “it ”mean in the sentence “My Al did it!” (Para 7) A. llegal orimmoral (不道德的)behaviour.B. The biggest leap forward.C. Al goes wrong.D. The benefits brought by Al.5. How should we deal with super-intelligent Al A. Destroy it completely.B. Stop its development.C. Analyse and interpret it.D. Embrace and regulate it.
