4、ossibility of self-driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurists dream, years away from materializing in the real world. Well, the future is apparent now. The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April to companies to test truly self-driving cars on public roads. Th
5、e state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out self-driving cars, and for companies to operate driverless taxi services. California, it should be noted, isnt leading the way here. Companies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country. Its hard to predict when driver
6、less cars will be everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is regulated.While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driv
7、erless cars (and rightfully so), policymakers also should be talking about how self-driving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions(排放物) and offer more convenient, affordable mobility options. The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are environmen
8、tally friendly and more shared.Do we want to copy-or even worse-the traffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine a future where most adults own individual self-driving vehicles.

11、educe carbon emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation infrastructure(基础设施)and operations 40% by 2050. Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing.

17、ke 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, Im hoping that self-driving cars
18、 are available soon. Ive been taking driving lessons for over a year, and still havent 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 wont be susceptible to human error, theyll certainly be a lot safer. The o
19、nly thing is that there might be a few machine-learning problems when the first cars hit the market, so perhaps Id 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.PopkidThe technology youre using and enjoying today is
20、 a basic form of AI which cant 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 worlds problems. But have you ev
21、er 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 thats in the way of a solution to a bigger problem. If were lucky, AI might think were valuable enough to keep around. If not, it
22、 might wipe us all out!Even if that doesnt 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
23、risk in the long run. Even journalists are now being replaced with technology that can write basic news reports.

24、mething 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 le
25、apforward 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!” wont be any excuse for
26、illegal or immoral behaviour!教材译文人工智能：真正的威胁？用斯蒂芬霍金教授的话来说, 人工智能“要么是人类历史上最好的事物, 要么就是最糟糕的事物”。明日科技论坛想听听你对人工智能的想法。这是我们人类迄今为止最伟大的成就吗？ 抑或是我们生存的最大威胁吗？千禧蝶多亏了人工智能, 我的手机里安装了我自己的超级智能个人助理。我向她提出任何问题, 她都能立即给出回答, 甚至利用我的回答来更多地了解我的偏好。我过去常常感觉好像自己有50%的时间都花在了寻找新餐馆上。相比之下, 我的个人助理只需要几秒钟就能找到适当的地方。她给我的每一个推荐都很好, 因为她可以预测我是否会喜欢
27、某一家餐厅。说到闲逛, 我希望自动驾驶汽车能很快上市。我已经上了一年多的驾驶课了, 可是还没有拿到驾照。自动驾驶汽车可以像我们一样学习驾驶, 并可以根据信息做出判断。而且由于它们不会受到人为失误的影响, 它们肯定安全得多。唯一的问题是, 当第一批车上市时, 学习自动驾驶技术可能会出现一些问题, 所以或许我最好先学会开车。不过, 我确实认为, 总体而言, 人工智能的发展将使做日常的事情变得更加容易。流行小孩你今天使用和享受的技术是人工智能的基本形式, 它没有编程就无法独立思考。当然, 拥有一种更高级的人工智能可能非常有用一种真正独立的人工智能,能够行使自己的判断, 可以帮助我们解决世界上的许多问
28、题。但是你考虑过它的风险吗？ 毕竟, 为什么一个独立的人工智能需要考虑人类的意见和愿望？ 我们可能被看作是一个“小小的”不便, 它妨碍了更大问题的解决。如果我们幸运, 人工智能可能会认为我们足够有价值, 可以留下来。如果不这样的话, 它可能会把我们都消灭！即使那种情况不会发生, 也存在其他风险。千禧蝶, 你说拥有自动驾驶汽车有多好, 但是所有将失去工作的出租车司机怎么办？ 他们将是人工智能的第一批受害者。从长远来看, 几乎所有的工作都存在潜在的风险。甚至记者现在也被能够撰写基本新闻报道的技术取代。照现状看, 未来20年美国近50%的就业岗位将面临来自自动化的风险。事实上是我们都没有准备好迎接人
29、工智能的挑战。粉红色的烟雾作为我们现代世界的一部分, 机器学习是我们已经接受的东西。我相信人工智能的大部分价值在于它分析和解释大量的数据的能力, 这意味着它甚至可以解决人类专家难以解决的问题。然而, 尽管超级智能的人工智能可能是人类历史上最大的飞跃, 但如果它出错或落入坏人之手, 它也可能是最危险的。然而, 人工智能不会消失。我们别无选择, 只能接受并管理它。不过, 有一件事我想大家都同意, 那就是说“这是我的人工智能做的！”不会成为任何违法或不道德行为的借口！. 词汇拓展1. artificial /tf()l/adj. 人造的, 人工的 artificially /tfli/adv. 人工
