The robot takeover of the world may not be as dramatic as we thought. It won’t come in the form of explosions, but rather in the form of employment.
In a classic scenario of the student being better than the master, our eagerness to make robots that are increasingly sophisticated and capable of truly remarkable tasks has, perhaps, showed ourselves rather redundant and out of date. "Technology appears to be resulting in faster, wider and deeper degrees of hollowing-out than in the past," said Andy Haldane, the Bank’s chief economist. Because the machines of today can not only perform boring tasks, but are also capable of creative thought, humans may no longer be able to compete.
"These machines are different," Haldane told CNN. "Unlike in the past, they have the potential to substitute for human brains as well as hands."
So what jobs are most at risk? According to an Oxford University study published last year, loan officers, receptionists, legal assistants, salespeople, drivers, security guards, fast food cooks, bartenders, and financial advisers all risk at least a 50 percent chance of being replaced by robots. And at this year’s Milken Global Conference in Los Angeles, Amy Webb, a digital media futurist and founder of Webbmedia Group, suggested that added marketers, journalists, and lawyers join this at-risk group too.
Considering that much of journalism is already done by way of computers, to say that I’m completely unconcerned would be a bit of a stretch.
But still, Haldane notes, humans don’t really have all that much to fear. Just because robots replace the jobs of today doesn’t mean that we won’t create new ones for tomorrow. "Humans will adapt their skills to the tasks where they continue to have a comparative advantage over machines," he noted. Although to be fair, "The smarter machines become, the greater the likelihood that the space remaining for uniquely human skills could shrink further."
So let this be a lesson to you, current and future college students. Pick a major that isn’t duplicable by robots. It may be the only way to stay competitive in the 22nd century.
23. How will robots take over the world according to this lecture?
24. Which job will be replaced by robots according to Amy Webb?
25. Why does Andy Haldane tell people not to fear the unemployment?
选项
A、For we can create new robots in the future.
B、For we can learn a lesson from the unemployment.
C、For we can adapt our skills to the tasks at work.
D、For we can work with advantages over machines.
答案
D
解析
录音最后Andy Haldane提到,人们不用害怕机器人抢了自己的工作,因为他们的技能可以用到比机器人有优势的工作上。D项概括了这句话的主要内容,是正确选项。从选项的谓语可推测题目或许与如何应对机器人问题有关。录音前面提到人类不用害怕,仅仅因为机器人做了人的工作,不代表人就不能创造新的工作。这里的代词ones指代的并非机器人,而是工作 (jobs),所以A项错误;B项的说法太宽泛,是对人类可做新工作的限定定义,不够详细;录音最后虽然提到现在和未来的大学生要敲响警钟,但是C项“我们可以从失业中得到教训”并不是不用担心失业的原因。
