Ggle says it will n lnger permit its artificial intelligence, r AI technlgy t be used in any activities invlving weapns. The plicy was ne f several new principles aimed at guiding the cmpany’s develpment and sale f AI technlgy and tls.
The principles were annunced after mre than 4,000 Ggle emplyees signed a dcument calling fr the cmpany t cancel an AI agreement, knwn as Prject Maven, with the U.S. Department f Defense.
Kirk Hansn is directr f the Markkula Center fr Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University in Califrnia. The center examines hw ethics can be used as guidelines fr technlgy develpment. He decided that the prtest by Ggle emplyees against the U.S. military agreement was based n fears that AI technlgy culd lead t the creatin f weapns which might cause disasters t humans.
“If yu have artificial intelligence which identifies targets and autmatically launches weapns, yu have an autnmus weapn. Just as with driverless vehicles, autnmus weapn systems may nt be as safe as their supprters prmise. We shuld be mre cncerned abut hw an autnmus weapn might make a mistake. Is that artificial intelligence targeting system as gd as we think it is? And until we have trust that thse systems will nt make mistakes, we’re ging t keep skeptical abut the use f artificial intelligence.”
A tp Department f Defense fficial was asked abut the use f autnmus weapns during an event last year at the Center fr Strategic and Internatinal Studies in Washingtn. Air Frce Gen. Paul J. Selva, vice chairman f the Jint Chiefs f Staff, said such systems shuld never be used t replace human cmmanders.
Ggle chief Pichai said the cmpany des nt plan t stp prviding AI technlgy fr all military uses. He said Ggle will still seek gvernment prjects in areas such as military training, Internet security and search and rescue.
28. What new plicy has Ggle annunced abut its AI technlgy?
A. T expand its applicatin fields.​​​​B. T absrb advanced technlgies.
C. T encurage its exchange activities.​​​D. T restrict serving military purpses.
29. The underlined wrd “ethics” (in Paragraph 3) prbably means ________.
A. mral principles​​​​​​​B. military challenges
C. traditinal virtues​​​​​​​D. applied technlgies
30. What is Hansn’s attitude t the AI technlgy fr defense?
A. Enthusiastic. ​​B. Dubtful.​​​C. Psitive.​​​D. Cnfused.
31. What can we infer abut Ggle and the Department f Defense?
A. They blame each ther fr the deal.
B. They share the same cncern abut AI.
C. N mre deals will be pssible between them.
D. They will cntinue t cperate in ther areas.

Hell Everyne！I'm Li Hua frm Senir 3. My tpic tday is“Say N t smartphnes at schl.”
Althugh the smartphne plays an imprtant rle in peple's daily life, it is als a duble-edged swrd. Inapprpriate use f it may bring sme dwnsides fr us students.
Sme students with a smartphne get s addicted that they are hugely impacted. First, smartphnes will distract their attentin in class，thus, their schl wrk can be seriusly affected. Besides，sme students even use the phnes till late int the night, which can cause sme health prblems such as bad eyesight and abnrmal sleep patterns. Finally, it may cmprmise their face- t- face cmmunicatin with thers.
Therefre，I strngly advcate that students shuld be prhibited frm carrying smartphnes. Let's say N t smartphnes at schl.
That's all. Thank yu fr listening!
