Artificial intelligence (AI) ,an interdisciplinary field, is usually regarded as a branch of computer science, dealing with models and systems for the performance of functions generally associated with human intelligence, such as(71)and learning.In AI, knowledge-based system is an information(72)system that provides for solving problems in a particular domain or application area by drawing inferences from a knowledge base. Moreover, some knowledge-based systems have learning capabilities. Expert system (ES) indicates the knowledge-based system that provides for solving problems in a particular domain or application area by drawing inferences from a knowledge base developed from human(73). Some expert systems are able to(74)their knowledge base and develop new inference rules based on their experience with previous problems. The term "expert system" is sometimes used(75)with "knowledge-based system", but should be taken to emphasize expert knowledge.A．inferringB．reasoningC．derivingD．proving

Frankenstein's monster haunts discussions of the ethics of artificial intetligence:the fear is that scientists will create something that has purposes and even desires of its own and which will carry them out at the expense of human beings.This is a misleading picture because it suggests that there will be a moment at which the monster comes alive:the switch is thrown,the program run,and after that its human creators can do nothing more.In real life there will be no such singularity.Construction of AI and its deployment will be continuous processes,with humans involved and to some extent responsible at every step.This is what makes Google'-s declarations of ethical principles for its use of AI so significant,because it seems to be the result of a revolt among the company's programmers.The senior management at Google saw the supply of AI to the Pentagon as a goldmine,if only it could be kept from public knowledge."Avoid at all costs any mention or implication of Al,"wrole Google Cloud's chief scientist for AI in a memo."I don't know what would happen if the media starts picking up a theme that Google is building AI weapons or AI technologies to enable weapons for the Defense industry."That,of course,is exactly what the company had been doing.Google had been subcontracting for the Pentagon on Project Maven,which was meant to bring the benefits of AI to war-fighting.Then the media found out and more than 3,000 0f its own employees prote.sted.Only iwo things frighten the tech giants:onc i.s the stock market;the other is an organised workforce.The employees'agitation led to Google announcing six principles of ethical AI,among them that it will not make weapons systems.or technologies whose purpose,or use in surveillance,violates international principles of human rights.This still leaves a huge intentional exception:profiting from"non-lethal"defence technology.Obviously we cannot expect all companies,still less all programmers,to show this kind of ethical fine-tuning.Other companies will bid for Pentagon business:Google had to beat IBM,Amazon and Microsoft to gain the Maven contract.But in all these cases,the companies involved-which means the people who work for them-will be actively involved in maintaining,tweaking and improving the work.This opens an opportunity for consistent ethical pressure and for the attribution of responsibility to human beings and not to inanimate objects.Questions about the ethics of artificial intelligence are questions about the ethics of the people who make it and the purposes they put it to.It is not the monster,but the good Dr Frankenstein we need to worry about most.

Text 2 In a former leather factory just off Euston Road in London,a hopeful firm is starting up.BenevolentAI's main room is large and open-plan.In it,scientists and coders sit busily on benches,plyinS their various trades.I\e firm's star,though,has a private,temperature.controlled office.Thal star is a powerful computer that runs the software which sits at the heart of BenevolentAl's business.This software is an artificial-intelligence system.AI,as it is known for short,comes in several forms.But BenevolentAI's version of it is a form of machine learning that can draw inferences about wh8t it has leamed.In particular,it can process natural language and formulate new ideas from what it reads.Its job is to sift through vast chemical libraries,medical databases and conventionally presented scientific papers,looking for potential drug molecules.Nor is BenevolentAI a one-off.More and more people and firms believe that AI is well placed to help unpick biology and advance human health.Indeed,as Chris Bishop of Microsoft Research,in Cambridge,England,observes,one way of thinking aboui living organisms is to recognize that they are,in essence.complex systems which process informalion using a combination of hardware and software.That thought has consequences.Whether it is the new Chan Zuckerberg Initiative（CZI）,from the founder of Facebook and his wife,or the biological subsidiaries being set up by firms such as Alphabet（Google's parent company）,IBM and Microsofi,the new Big Idea in Silicon Valley is that in the worlds of biology and disease there are problems its software engineers can solve.The discovery of new drugs is an early test of the belief that AI has much to offer biology and medicine.Pharmaceutical companies are finding il increasingly difficult lo make headway in their search for novel products.The conventional approach is to screen larf;e numbers of molecules for signs of relative biological effect,and then weed out the useless partin a series of more and more expensive tests and trials,in the hope of coming up with a golden nugget at the end.This way of doing things is,however,declining in productivity and rising in cost.
A growing number of companies believe that AI can be used to____A.exploit human potential
B.impair physical health
C.solve social problems
D.benefit human beings

问答题Practice 2 The magical thing about this network is not just that it collapses distance and makes everyone your neighbor. It also dramatically increases the number of brilliant minds we can have working together on the same problem and that scales up the rate of innovation to a staggering degree. At the same time, for every person in the world who has access to this technology, five people don’t. That means many creative minds are left out of this discussion—smart people with practical intelligence and relevant experience who don’t have the technology to hone their talents or contribute their ideas to the world. We need as many people as possible to have access to this technology, because these advances are triggering a revolution in what human beings can do for one another. They are making it possible not just for national governments, but for universities, corporations, smaller organizations, and even individuals to see problems, see approaches, and measure the impact of their efforts to address the hunger, poverty, and desperation George Marshall spoke of 60 years ago.

In some ways robots are better than people.. They work quickly, but not tomake mistakes. They do not get boring doing the same job over and over (3) _______again. And they never get tired. So are robots very useful in factories. They can be taught to do many (4) _______different jobs. First their electronic brains must show how the job is done.

When the robot is put to work on its itself, (6) _______its brain controls the rods, wheels and motors which move its arm. When the robot needed for a new job, its electronic memory is “wiped (7) _______clean”. Then it is taught how to do its new task. If the robot’s hand stops to work, or if something gets in the way, it (8) _______cannot do the next part of the job. So it starts and signals for help. Then a (9) _______human engineer attends to the fault. Robots are also used for doing jobs which are dangerous. They canmove objects which are too hot or too heavy to people to handle.
