When a search engine guesses what you want before you finish typing it, or helpfully ignores your bad spelling, that is the result of machine learning, a branch of artificial intelligence. Although AI has been through cycles of
hype
and disappointment before, big technology companies have recently been scrambling to hire experts in the field, in the hope of building machines that can learn even more sophisticated tasks.
IBM said this month it would invest $1 billion in a new division to develop uses for Watson, its computer that understands human language. But this week Google enhanced its lead in this field by paying around $660m for DeepMind Technologies, a startup in London that has yet to announce a product. The boss of DeepMind, Demis Hassabis, previously created video games such as "Evil Genius" and "Theme Park".
DeepMind’s 75 geniuses will join the world’s leading group of machine-learning experts, which Google has been assembling in the past few years. Google’s main source of income, its search engine and the accompanying ad-placement system, is driven by machine learning. The firm’s self-driving cars rely on it, as do the intelligent thermostats made by Nest, a firm it has just taken over, and the robots made by Boston Dynamics and other robotics outfits it has been buying.
The technology is already the backbone of many other internet firms. It is why Facebook and Linkedln have that slightly creepy ability to find people you know, and why Amazon and Netflix are good at suggesting books and films you might like. It also helps intelligence agencies to identify terrorist networks.
As machine learning leaves the lab and goes into practice, it will threaten white-collar, knowledge-worker jobs just as machines, automation and assembly lines destroyed factory jobs in the 19th and 20th centuries. For example, the technique has been applied by researchers at Stanford University to tell whether a biopsy of breast cells is highly cancerous, something that until now has required a human expert to assess.
Another of DeepMind’s founders, Shane Legg, has predicted that artificial intelligence running wildly will be the biggest existential risk to humans in this century. Its founders have asked Google to set up an "ethics board" to consider the appropriate use of machine learning in its products. The creator of "Evil Genius" is ensuring that his new overlord sticks to its motto, "Don’t be evil".
DeepMind Technologies is ______.
选项
A、a giant like Google and IBM
B、a new company that develops video games
C、a leading technological company in America
D、a newly started firm that cooperates with Google
答案
D
解析
根据题干中的“DeepMind Technologies”定位到第二段。该段第三行指出:Deep-Mind Technologies, a startup in London… 其中,“a startup(一家新兴企业)”与选项A,“a giant(一家大型企业)”和C“a leading technological company(一家带头的技术公司)”完全不符,故可以排除A和C两项。而B项中的“develops video games”与原文倒数第二行“previously created video games”不符。再根据文章第二句“But this week Google enhanced its lead in this field by paying around $660m for DeepMind Technologies…”一句我们可以得知,谷歌付给DeepMind Technologies这些费用,说明二者是合作关系,因此选项D,a newly started firm that cooperates with Google是对DeepMind Technologies的最佳描述,故答案为选项D。
