請依下文回答第 43 題至第 46 題：
The technology entrepreneur Elon Musk has recently urged the nation’s governors to regulate artificial intelligence
(A.I.) “before it’s too late.” Mr. Musk insists that artificial intelligence represent an “existential threat to humanity,” an
alarmist view that confuses A.I. science with science fiction. Nevertheless, even A.I. researchers like me recognize that there
are valid concerns about its impact on weapons, jobs and privacy. It’s natural to ask whether we should develop A.I. at all.
I believe the answer is yes. But shouldn’t we take steps to at least slow down the progress on A.I., in the interest of
caution? The problem is that if we do so, then other nations will overtake us. The A.I. horse has left the barn, and our best
bet is to attempt to steer it. A.I. should not be weaponized, and any A.I. must have an impregnable “off switch.” Beyond
that, we should regulate the tangible impact of A.I. systems (for example, the safety of autonomous vehicles) rather than
trying to define and rein in the amorphous and rapidly developing field of A.I. Here let me briefly present three rules for
artificial intelligence system that, I believe, can serve as a basis for discussion about avoiding A.I. harm (see more
explications in the following section): 1) An A.I. system must be subject to the full gamut of laws that apply to its human
operator. 2) An A.I. system must clearly disclose that it is not human. 3) An A.I. system cannot retain or disclose
confidential information without explicit approval from the source of that information.
The three A.I. rules are far from complete and are introduced here as a starting point for discussion. Whether or not
you agree with Mr. Musk’s view about A.I.’s rate of progress and its ultimate impact on humanity, it is clear that A.I. is
coming. Society needs to get ready.
【題組】46 What does “an impregnable off switch” (in Paragraph 2) most likely mean?
(A)An unfailing device to halt an A.I. system when necessary.
(B)A fair mechanism to reign in the development of A.I.
(C)An inherent bug in the software that causes an A.I. system to malfunction.
(D)An autonomous airplane that can take off and land in bad weather.
