阅读理解D篇
原文Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革).
In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.
As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super-smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow-AI” to Artificial General Intelligence. From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now — several decades before these developments are expected to take place. She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.
Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI—the technology companies and world leaders—so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity. We need to consider how we want our future with AI to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.
AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it.
12. What does the phrase “In the wrong hands” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

译文鉴于人工智能在改变我们生活方面的巨大潜力，我们都需要采取行动来应对我们由人工智能驱动的未来，这就是《设计中的人工智能：与人工智能共存的计划》的用武之地。Catriona Campbell的这本引人入胜的新书是应对即将到来的人工智能革命所带来挑战的实用路线图。
如果落入坏人之手，这样一本书的处理可能会像支持人工智能的计算机代码一样复杂，但幸运的是，坎贝尔拥有二十多年的专业经验，能够将令人兴奋的内容转化为可以理解的内容。她从商人的实际角度而不是学者的角度写作，制作了一本易于理解和信息丰富的指南，最终会让你感觉几乎和人工智能一样聪明。
随着我们很快从人工智能设计中学习，人工智能已经是超智能的，并且将变得更加强大，从当前一代的“窄人工智能”走向通用人工智能。坎贝尔说，从那里，将出现人工主导智能。这就是为什么坎贝尔现在就开始提高人们对人工智能及其未来的认识——比这些发展预计发生的时间早几十年。她说，我们必须保持对人工智能的控制，否则就有可能被边缘化，甚至更糟。
坎贝尔的观点是唤醒那些负责人工智能的人——科技公司和世界领导人——让他们与目前正在开发人工智能的所有专家站在同一战线上。她解释说，我们正处于历史的“转折点”，现在必须采取行动，防止人类灭绝。我们需要考虑我们希望人工智能的未来如何发展。这种结构化思维，再加上全球监管，将使我们能够实现伟大，而不是衰落。
人工智能将影响我们所有人，如果你只读过一本关于这个主题的书，那就是这本书。
12.第2段中的“落入坏人之手”一词可能是什么意思？
A.如果读的人受教育程度低。B.如果被恶意的人审查。

13.根据文本，AI by Design的一个特征是什么？
A.里面塞满了复杂的代码。B.它采用了一种脚踏实地的写作风格。
C.它提供了分步说明。D.它是为人工智能专业人士设计的。
14.坎贝尔敦促人们在人工智能发展方面做些什么？
A.遵守现行规定。
B.重新考虑专家对此的意见。
C.共同努力控制局面。
D.从以前的经验中吸取教训，放慢速度。
15.作者写这篇文章的目的是什么？
