Passage 1

Artificial intelligence (AI) is moving so fast it sometimes seems almost “magical.” Self-driving cars have arrived, and Siri can listen to your voice and find the nearest movie theatre. A century from now, it’s likely that machines will be smarter than us before the end of the century—not just at chess or trivial questions but at just about everything, from mathematics and engineering to science and medicine. There might be a few jobs left for entertainers, writers, and other creative types, but computers will eventually be able to program themselves, absorb vast quantities of new information, and reason in ways that we carbon-based units can only dimly imagine. And they will be able to do it every second of every day, without sleep or coffee breaks.

For some people, that future is a wonderful thing. Kurzweil has written about a rapturous singularity in which we merge with machines and upload our souls for immortality; Peter Diamandis has argued that advances in A.I. will be one key to ushering in a new era of “abundance,” with enough food, water, and consumer gadgets for all. Skeptics worried about the consequences of A.I. and robotics for employment. But even if you put aside the sort of worries about what super-advanced A.I. might do to the labor market, there’s another concern, too: that powerful A.I. might threaten us more directly, by battling us for resources.

Most people see that sort of fear as silly science-fiction drivel—the stuff of “The Terminator” and “The Matrix.” To the extent that we plan for our medium-term future, we worry about asteroids, the decline of fossil fuels, and global warming, not robots. But a dark new book by James Barrat, “Our Final Invention: Artificial Intelligence and the End of the Human Era,” lays out a strong case for why we should be at least a little worried.

Barrat’s core argument is that the drive for self-preservation and resource acquisition may be inherent in all goal-driven systems of a certain degree of intelligence. “If it is smart enough, a robot that is designed to play chess might also want to build a spaceship,” in order to obtain more resources for whatever goals it might have. A purely rational artificial intelligence, Barrat writes, might expand “its idea of self-preservation … to include proactive attacks on future threats,” including, presumably, people who might loathe to surrender their resources to the machine.

1.The author refers to James Barrat’s book in order to _______________.

A)   provide an example of silly science-fiction drivel

B)    explain why many people overreact to the potential power of A.I.

C)   highlight the gravity of the situation humans would be faced with

D)   introduce a great science fiction to the readers
