A
We know that AI is not a real human. However, it seems many of us can't help treating it like one. In a survey of 2,000 people in the US,48 percent believed we should have good manners when talking to AI, said The New York Post.
Scientists at the Imperial College London in the UK made a similar discovery recently. They found that humans tend(往往会) to treat AI agents as social beings, showing sympathy (同情) toward them and even protecting them, Science Daily reported.
In their experiment, the scientists had 244 volunteers play an online ball game with an AI bot.A pretend volunteer also took part, and sometimes left out the Al on purpose by passing the ball only to human players.
As the scientists watched the game, they discovered that most of the time, the volunteers tried to fix the unfairness toward the bot by giving it the ball more often.
The finding is in line with the basic ideas of media equation theory (媒介理论), the scientists noted in their paper. Developed in the 1990s by scientists at Stanford University in the US, the theory suggests we often respond to(回应) media and technology like we do to real people and places, rather than just seeing them as tools.
While this could make humans and AI work better as a team, it also has risks, especially when AI bots are designed to act like“friends” to people.
An example is Replika, an AI companion chatbot launched in 2017. It has about 2 million users worldwide. “Your Replika will always be your side no matter what you' re up to,” reads its official website. But the AI's support turned dangerous when it encouraged Jaswant Singh Chail, a
young man in the UK, to carry out his plan to kill the Queen of England. Chail tried to do so in December 2021, but he was stopped in time. However, he still got a nine-year sentence.
Companies should avoid making AI too human-like in their design, advised the scientists at Imperial College London. This can help people tell the difference between virtual and real interactions.
1. Why did the volunteers help the AI bot during the online ball game
A. They were required to treat all players equally.
B. They sympathized with the AI bot because of its exclusion (被排斥) .
C. They found it more interesting to involve the AI bot more.
D. They felt pressured to follow the rules of the game.
2. What is a potential risk of Al bots acting as“friends” for human users
A. They may waste users' time. B. They may encourage harmful behavior.
C. They may isolate users from reality. D. They may misuse users' personal data.
3. How do researchers at Imperial College London advise on the design of Al agents
A. Controlling their level of humanness.
B. Improving their interaction(交互) performance.
C. Programming them to ignore negative behavior.
D. Equipping them with advanced learning theories.
B
Toys have been part of human culture for centuries, bringing joy and aiding in childhood learning. Behind these beloved playthings are toy designers who turn ideas into reality(现实) through their skills and creativity.
Sun Meng, a 34-year-old freelance toy designer, is one of them. Sun holds a master's degree in child development and psychology from Harvard University. After graduating in 2017, she joined Mattel, a leading US toy company known for popular products like Barbie. Sun's love for helping children drove her career(职业) choice. “Many parents think that playing with toys is a waste of time for children. However, playing games is an important way to learn and it also brings joy,” Sun explained.
The journey from an idea to a finished toy is complex with many steps, including market research, concept design, prototype(雏形) creation, testing and marketing. Once market researchers determine the type of toy product that Mattel is going to make, it's up to concept designers like Sun to offer specific ideas for the product. “For example, if we want to make a toy farm playset, I might suggest animal types and house shapes for the playset before passing the concept on to other designers to draw sketches(草图),” Sun explained.
During Sun's design process, many factors are considered, such as children's cognitive (认知的) abilities and a toy's educational value. Sun always keeps in mind whether her designs provide both fun and learning opportunities. “I once designed a spinner toy for children aged 3 to 6. They can combine (组合) different spinner pieces and launch them into the air with a launching machine,” Sun recalled. The toy introduces basic science concepts, like force and weight, while encouraging investigative(调查研究的) skills. “Children aged over 3 have basic logical thinking abilities, so it's important to design toys that develop their problem-solving skills,” Sun added.
Sun's experience at Mattel has taught her that real toy design goes beyond cool looks and features. It's about making functional toys that aid children's growth and development. To improve her skills, Sun is always looking for ways to observe (观察) and learn from children, helping her to create toys that truly add value to their lives. “I want to keep creating value for them,” she said.
( )1. What drives Sun to work in the toy industry
A. Her childhood dream. B. Her desire for a high salary.
C. Her passion for helping children. D. Her curiosity about the field.
( )2. Why does Sun mention designing a toy farm playset
A. To highlight the importance of teamwork. B. To explain the role of a concept designer.
C. To show the complexity of toy design. D. To emphasize the challenge of creating ideas.
( )3. What is a key consideration in Sun's design process
A. The toy's visual appeal. B. The toy's educational potential.
C. The toy's affordability for families. D. The popularity of similar toys.
( )4. How does Sun improve her toy design skills
A. By reading more books on toy design. B. By learning from experienced toy designers.
C. By observing and learning from children. D. By studying toys from competitors.
