W: Good evening, everybody. We are entering a period in which you can be expected to talk to machines for the rest of your life. Since the field of artificial intelligence(AI)was officially founded in the mid-1950s, people have been predicting the rise of conscious machines. Today we have inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil here: Ray Kurzweil has recently been hired to be a director of engineering at Google.
M: Thank you, hostess.(1)We don’t stop to think about it, but if you really want to freak yourself out and you own a cell phone, go to Google and look up your personal information—every single place that you have been since you have been online. We don’t think about those digital bread crumbs. There are lots of third parties out there that are happily scooping them up and doing something with that data. If you stop to think about it, your phone knows you better and has a more intimate relationship with you than your loved one.
W: Sounds rather intimidating.
M: The thing that’s coming is artificial intelligence. It won’t just be you talking to a machine. A lot of it is going to be invisible, and it’s going to make our lives easier. It’s going to allow scientists to leapfrog ahead in their research. And I do believe that, within my lifetime, life as we know it on this planet is probably going to look a little bit different than it is today.(2)There are some really interesting bio information tools that are coming to market.
W: So, how can we prevent against hackers?
M:(3)No matter how hard we try to tell people, you have got to change your passwords, most people don’t change their passwords. What if we no longer had passwords, but instead we are using our own biometric information? You’re probably already doing that if you have a newer phone. You’re using your thumbprint as a way to make payments. Some of the interesting things on the horizon are things like heat maps. All of the capillaries of your face are in very slightly different places, which means that your face sort of gives off this unique heat map. And that unique heat map is one way that we can authenticate you.
W: This is quite innovative, but what is the biggest challenge of this technology?
M: One of the challenges with this technology is that,(4)as it becomes more sophisticated, it also becomes more hidden. If you look under the hood of a modern car, you see what looks like a flat surface. Not every person who drives a car needs to be Lewis Hamilton’s F1 pit crew boss, but I do think it’s dangerous for us to continue going forward without having some of that lexicon.
W: What do you mean by that lexicon?
M: We have to be able to have conversations with each other and with the people creating these devices, because, if we can’t have the conversations, then we can’t ask the questions. And if we can’t ask the questions, the problem is that, 10 years into the future, we’re going to look back at this moment in time and wish that we had done things differently.
W: But your company, whose motto is "Don’t be evil," claims it can address potential concerns about its work in AI by conducting research in the open and collaborating with other institutions.(5)In terms of privacy concerns, specifically, Google goes above and beyond to make sure everyone’s information is safe and secure, calling data security a "top priority. "
M: Let’s hope so.
This is the end of the first interview. Questions 1 to 5 are based on what you have just heard.
1. According to the man, how would we feel if we go to Google and look up our personal information?
2. According to the man, what are coming to market?
3. To prevent against hackers, how will new technology help us?
4. What is the biggest challenge of the new technology?
5. What is Google’s ethics in terms of privacy concerns?
