I’m just getting ready for the inevitable rise of the machines.That’s the takeover of the world by artificial intelligence, or AI, which some people predict will happen.
我在为不可避免的机器崛起做准备。也就是人工智能会占领世界，一些人预测这将会发生。
Inevitable means cannot be avoided or stopped. Rise of the machines? What do you mean?
不可避免的是指不能回避或停止的。机器的崛起？这是什么意思？
It’s our topic in this 6 Minute English.We’ll be talking about that, giving you six related pieces of vocabulary and, of course, our regular quiz question.
这是我们本期六分钟英语的话题。我们一会要讨论这个话题，提供六个相关的单词，当然还有我们常规的问题。
That’s the first thing you’ve said that makes any sense. What’s the question?
这是你说的第一件正经事。问题是什么？
The word robot as we use it today was first used in a 1920’s Czech play Rossum’s Universal Robots.But before this, what was its original meaning?a) forced labour b) metal man c) heartless thing
我们今天使用的“机器”一词，首次出现于1920年的捷克戏剧《罗素姆的全能机械人》。但这之前，它起初的意思是什么呢？a) 强迫劳动，b)金属人，c) 无情的东西
I will go for a) forced labour.
我选a) 强迫劳动。
We’ll find out if you were right or not later in the show.
之后我们再看你回答得是否正确。
OK Dan. Tell me what’s going on.
好的，告诉我接下来做什么。
I saw a news article written by BBC technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones about the recent CES technology show in Las Vegas.He interviewed David Hanson, founder of Hanson Robotics, who said it was his ambition to achieve an AI that can beat humans at any intellectual task.
我最近看到BBC科技记者罗里·凯兰-琼斯写的一篇新闻报道，关于拉斯维加斯最近的消费电子展。他采访了大卫·汉森，汉森机器人技术公司的创始人，他说他的志向是创造一个人工智能，能够在任何智力任务上打败人类。
Surely it’s a good thing!Better AI and robotics could take over many of the jobs that we don’t want to do, or that are so important to get 100% right… like air traffic control. We’d never have another plane crash.It would be infallible because it would be so clever.
当然，这是件好事。更好的人工智能和机器人能够接管很多我们不想做的工作，或者很重要需要百分之百正确的工作，例如空中交通管制。我们就不会有任何飞机事故了。人工智能不会犯错，因为它太聪明了。
Infallible means never failing. And that’s what bothers me.What happens when its intelligence surpasses ours? Why should it do what we want it to do?
infallible是指从来不会失败。这也让我很苦恼。当人工智能的智商超过我们的智商，会发生什么？它为什么还会做我们想要它做的事呢？
To surpass something is to do or be better than it. Dan, you’ve been watching too many movies. Robots fighting humanity is a popular theme. Guess what… humanity often wins.And besides, we would programme the computer to be benevolent.
