Many of the tech industry’s biggest companies, like Amazon, Google, IBM and Microsoft, are jockeying to become the leader for artificial intelligence (A.I.). In the industry’s term, the companies are engaged in a "platform war."
A platform, in technology, is essentially a piece of software that other companies build on and that consumers cannot do without. Become the platform and huge profits will follow. Microsoft dominated personal computers because its Windows software became the center of the consumer software world. Google has come to dominate the Internet through its ubiquitous search bar. If true believers in A.I. are correct that this long-promised technology is ready for the mainstream, the company that controls A.I. could steer the tech industry for years to come. "Whoever wins this race will dominate the next stage of the information age," said Pedro Domingos, a machine learning specialist and the author of "The Master Algorithm," a 2015 book that contends that A.I. and big-data technology will remake the world.
In this fight—no doubt in its early stages—the big tech companies are engaged in tit-for-tat publicity stunts, circling the same start-ups that could provide the technology pieces they are missing and, perhaps most important, trying to hire the same brains. Fei-Fei Li, a Stanford University professor who is an expert in computer vision, said one of her Ph.D. candidates had an offer for a job paying more than $1 million a year, and that was only one of four from big and small companies.
For years, tech companies have used man-versus-machine competitions to show they are making progress on A.I. In 1997, an IBM computer beat the chess champion Garry Kasparov. Five years ago, IBM went even further when its Watson system won a three-day match on the television trivia show "Jeopardy!" Today, Watson is the centerpiece of IBM’ s A.I. efforts.
By 2020, the market for machine learning applications will reach $40 billion, IDC, a market research firm, estimates. And 60 percent of those applications, the firm predicts, will run on the platform software of four companies—Amazon, Google, IBM and Microsoft. Intelligent software applications will become commonplace, said Jeff Dean, a computer scientist who oversees Google’s A.I. development. "And machine learning will touch every industry."
The text takes "Fei-Fei Li" as an example in Paragraph 3 to show that
选项
A、the competition between tech companies is fierce.
B、the candidates from famous universities are more popular.
C、the higher the pay is, the more likely the candidate is to accept the offer.
D、perhaps tech companies are striving for the same talents.
答案
D
解析
根据题干关键词定位到第三段。第三段的主旨句为第一句,意思为“这场争夺 无疑还处于早期,不过各大科技公司在针锋相对地进行宣传战,追逐同样一批初创企业来 力求填补它们的技术空白。或许更重要的是,他们在追逐同样一批人才”。接着文章以“李 飞飞”的例子进行佐证。故D项为正确答案。A项“技术公司之间竞争激烈”、B项“或许来 自名校的候选人更受欢迎”和C项“薪资越高,工作越有可能被候选人接受”。均不符合题 意,故排除。
