ㅤGiven 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）.ㅤIn 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.ㅤAs 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.ㅤCampbell'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.ㅤAI will affect us all，and if you only read one book on the subject，this is it.（1）What does the phrase"In the wrong hands"in paragraph 2 probably mean？ ____ A.If read by someone poorly educated.B.If reviewed by someone ill-intentioned.C.If written by someone less competent.D.If translated by someone unacademic.（2）What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text？ ____ A.It is packed with complex codes.B.It adopts a down-to-earth writing style.C.It provides step-by-step instructions.D.It is intended for AI professionals.（3）What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development？ ____ A.Observe existing regulations on it.B.Reconsider expert opinions about it.C.Make joint efforts to keep it under control.D.Learn from prior experience to slow it down.（4）What is the author's purpose in writing the text？ ____ A.To recommend a book on AI.B.To give a brief account of AI history.C.To clarify the definition of AI.D.To honor an outstanding AI expert.
