Very soon, unimaginably powerful technologies will remake our lives. This could have dangerous consequences, especially because we may not even understand the basic science underlying them. There’s a growing gap between our technological capability and our underlying scientific understanding. We can do very clever things with the technology of the future without necessarily understanding some of the science underneath, and that is very dangerous.
The technologies that are particularly dangerous over the next hundred years are nanotechnology, artificial intelligence and biotechnology. The benefits they will bring are beyond doubt but they are potentially very dangerous. In the field of artificial intelligence there are prototype designs for something that might be 50,000 million times smarter than the human brain by the year 2010. The only thing not feasible in the film Terminator is that the people win. If you’re fighting against technology that is that much smarter than you, you probably will not win. We’ve all heard of the grey goo problem that self-replicating nanotech devices might keep on replicating until the world has been reduced to sticky goo, and certainly in biotechnology, we’ve really got a big problem because it’s converging with nanotechnology. Once you start mixing nanotech with organisms and you start feeding nanotech-enabled bacteria, we can go much further than the Borg in Star Trek, and those superhuman organisms might not like us very much.
We are in a world now where science and commerce are increasingly bedfellows. The development of technology is happening in the context of global free trade regimes which see technological diffusion embedded with commerce as intrinsically a good. We should prepare for new and unfamiliar forms of argument around emerging technologies.
Why does the author say it is not feasible in the film Terminator that the humans win?
选项
A、Because the power of the technology was exaggerated.
B、Because the strength of the machines would be much greater.
C、Because machines with that much intelligence would not allow it.
D、Because even heroic humans would achieve nothing from such a battle.
答案
C
解析
属逻辑关系题。在第二段作者指出:“电影《终结者》中惟一不可能实现的是人类会胜出。假如你在和比自己聪明得多的技术对抗,你可能不会取胜。”这两句话的关系是前果后因。即C项,机器的智力水平,而不是B项(机器的力量,阻止人类获胜)。
