Robots make me nervous—especially the ones which seem to think for themselves. I was embarrassed to admit this till I heard that Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, felt the same way.
Gates said in an interview with the social networkin g and news website Reddit: “I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence. First the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent.That should be positive if we manage well. A few decades after that though the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern.”
Well, maybe I don’t have to worry about my computer and kitchen equipment yet. After I use them I can always pull the plug. But in the future, machines might find a way to prevent us from switching them off. There’s a terrible thought!
Maybe the problem with computers too clever for us is not that they are evil like some we’ve seen in sci-fi movies. What could put us in danger is that they might be too efficient. That’s what philosopher Nick Bostrom from Oxford University believes. He says that machines are indifferent (漠然) to humans and in pursuit of their own goals,the destruction of people might be just additional damage. Bostrom gives us an example: A machine which might have as its only goal to produce as many paperclips as possible might look at human bodies as extra material for paperclips and go after you. Because it is, well, a machine, it would not take pity on you.
It’s a good thing that American writer Isaac Asimov tho ught about how far robots can go and left us his three rules of robotics. They state that a robot may not hurt a human being or allow the human being to come to harm.
I’m glad my machines at home are “dumb”. All my cleaner wants to take over is the carpet in my living room. Let’s hope they don’t create an appliance which wants to take over the world!.
机器人让我很紧张,尤其是那些似乎自己思考的机器人。我很不好意思承认这一点,直到我听说微软创始人比尔·盖茨也有同感。
盖茨在接受社交网络和新闻网站Reddit采访时表示:“我所在的阵营关注超级智能。首先,机器会为我们做很多工作,而不是超级智能。如果我们管理得好,这应该是积极的。几十年后,尽管智能足够强大,令人担忧。”
好吧,也许我还不用担心我的电脑和厨房设备。我用过它们之后,总能拔出插头。但在未来,机器可能会找到一种方法来阻止我们关闭它们。有一个可怕的想法!
也许对我们来说太聪明的电脑的问题并不是它们像我们在科幻电影中看到的那样邪恶。可能使我们陷入危险的是,他们可能效率太高。这就是牛津大学的哲学家尼克·博斯特罗姆所相信的。他说机器是无关紧要的(漠然) 对人类来说,为了追求自己的目标,对人类的毁灭可能只是额外的伤害。Bostrom给我们举了一个例子:一台机器的唯一目标可能是生产尽可能多的回形针,它可能会把人体视为回形针的额外材料,然后追上你。因为它是一台机器,它不会怜悯你。
美国作家艾萨克·阿西莫夫(Isaac Asimov)思考机器人能走多远,并给我们留下了他的机器人三条规则,这是一件好事。他们指出,机器人可能不会伤害人类,也不会让人类受到伤害。
我很高兴家里的机器是“笨”的。我的清洁工只想把客厅里的地毯拿走。让我们希望他们不要创造一个想要接管世界的电器!。
