科技类难题
• 人工智能
Some scientists believe computers will become more intelligent than human beings. Some people think the development has a positive impact, while others think it is negative. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Users should be able to easily discern the intent and abilities of machine. And when things go wrong-if say, a driverless car mows down a pedestrian-a record of the cars decisions should be accessible so that the similar errors can be coded out.
When machines intelligence surpasses that of human creators machines could conceivably acquire the ability to shape and control the future on their own terms. The development of Alphago suggests that machine learning has already mastered unpredictability, if only at one task, which promises a rather more hilling version of Game Over.
