[2015山东泰安二模] Robots make me nervous―especially the ones which seem to think for them?selves. I was embarrassed to admit this till I heard that Bill Gates,the founder of Mi?crosoft,felt the same way. Gates said in an interview with the website Reddit:"I am in the camp that is concerned a-bout super intelligence. First the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent. That should be positive if we manage well. A few decades after that though the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern." Well,maybe I don't have to worry about my laptop and kitchen appliances yet. After I use them I can always pull the plug. But in the future,machines might find a way to prevent us from switching them off. There's a scary thought!Professor Stephen Hawking warned a few months ago about the possibility that artificial intelligence could evolve and end up beyond human control. He suggested that ma?chines could "spell the end of the human race".
Maybe the problem with computers too clever for us is not that they are evil or rebellious. What could put us in danger is that they might be too efficient. That's what phi?losopher Nick Bostrom from the Future of Humanity In?stitute at Oxford University believes. He says that ma?chines are indifferent to humans and in pursuit of their own goals,the destruction of people might be just collater?al (附带的〉damage. A machine would not take pity on you.
I'm glad my machines at home are "dumb". All my vacuum cleaner wants to take over is the carpet in my liv?ing room. Let's hope they don't create an appliance which wants to take over the world!
