【题文】AI, or deep learning, takes in massive amounts of data from a single field and automatically learns from the data to make specific decisions within that field. It can automatically optimize (优化) human-given goals with ________ memory and superhuman accuracy.

The potential applications for AI are extremely exciting, but the rise of AI also brings many ________. It’s worth taking time to sort between the genuine risks of this coming technological revolution and the ________ that sometimes surround the topic.

First, let’s talk about job displacement. Because AI can ________ humans at routine tasks, it is technically capable of displacing hundreds of millions of white and blue collar jobs in the next 15 years or so.

But not every job will be replaced by AI. ________, four types of jobs are not at risk at all. First there are creative jobs. AI needs to be given a ________ to optimize. It cannot ________ as scientists, novelists and artists can. Second, the complex, strategic jobs go well beyond the AI ________ of single domain and Big Data. Then there are the as-yet-unknown jobs that will be created by AI. Are you worried that these three types of jobs won’t employ as many people as AI will replace? Not to worry, as the fourth type is much ________: empathetic and compassionate jobs, such as teachers, nannies and doctors, which AI is not capable of. So there will still be jobs in the age of AI.

As well as job displacement. AI has the potential to ________ inequality-both between the super wealthy and the displaced workers and also among countries.

Poorer and smaller countries will be unable to gain the economic rewards that will come with AI and less well placed to ________ job displacement.

The technology also poses serious challenges in terms of ________. The consequences of hacking into AI-controlled systems could be severe.

Finally, there are the issues of privacy, worsened prejudices and manipulation (操纵). Sadly, we’ve already seen ________ on this front. Facebook couldn’t resist the temptation to use AI technology to optimize usage and profit, at the expense of user privacy and increasing prejudices and division.

All of these risks require governments, businesses and technologists to ________ develop a new rule book for AI applications. And rather than compare against one another countries must share best practices and work together to ensure this technology is used for the ________ of all.
