Level 7 Unit 2 Part3 Machine intelligence makes human morals more important 机器智能使人类道德更重要 by Zeynep Tufekci So, I started my first job as a computer programmer in my very first year of college -- basically, as a teenager. 所以，我在大学一年级时就开始了我的第一份电脑程序员的工作，基本上是一 个十几岁的孩子。 SoonafterIstartedworking,writingsoftwareinacompany,a manager who workedat the company came down to where I was, and he whispered to me, “Can he tell if Im lying“ There was nobody else in the room. 我开始工作后不久，在一家公司写软件，一位在公司工作的经理来到我所在的 地方，他低声对我说“他能告诉我我在撒谎吗”房间里没有其他人。 “Can who tell if youre lying And why are we whispering“ “谁能告诉我你在撒谎我们为什么要窃窃私语” The manager pointed at the computer in the room. “Can he tell if Im lying“ Well, that manager was having an affair with the receptionist. 经理指着房间里的电脑。“他能告诉我我在撒谎吗”嗯，那个经理和接待员有 暧昧关系。 1 Laughter （笑声） And I was still a teenager. So I whisper-shouted back to him, “Yes, the computer can tell if youre lying.“ 我还是个十几岁的孩子。于是我小声地对他喊道“是的，电脑能分辨出你在 撒谎。” Laughter （笑声） Well, I laughed, but actually, the laughs on me. Nowadays, there are computational systems that can suss out emotional states and even lying from processing human faces. Advertisers and even governments are very interested. 嗯，我笑了，但事实上，我笑了。现在，有一些计算系统可以解决情绪状态， 甚至可以从处理人脸上撒谎。广告商甚至政府都很感兴趣。 I had become a computer programmer because I was one of those kids crazyaboutmathandscience.ButsomewherealongthelineId learned about nuclear weapons, and Id gotten really concerned with the ethics of science. I was troubled. However, because of family circumstances, I also needed to start working as soon as possible. So I thought to myself, hey, let me pick a technical field where I can get a job easily and where I dont have to deal with any troublesome questions of ethics. So I picked computers. 我已经成为一名电脑程序员，因为我是一个对数学和科学着迷的孩子。但我在 某个地方学到了核武器，我真的很关心科学的伦理学。我很烦恼。然而，由于 家庭情况，我也需要尽快开始工作。因此，我想，嘿，让我选择一个技术领 2 域，我可以轻松地找到一份工作，在那里我不需要处理任何棘手的道德问题。 所以我选择了电脑。 Laughter （笑声） Well,ha,ha,haAllthelaughsareonme.Nowadays,computer scientists are building plats that control what a billion people see every day. Theyre developing cars that could decide who to run over. Theyre even building machines, weapons, that might kill human beings in war. Its ethics all the way down. 哈，哈，哈所有的笑声都在我身上。如今，计算机科学家正在构建一个平 台，控制着每天有十亿人看到的东西。他们正在开发可以决定谁来跑的汽车。 他们甚至制造机器，武器，可能会在战争中杀死人类。这是道德的一路下滑。 Machine intelligence is here. Were now using computation to make all sort of decisions, but also new kinds of decisions. Were asking questions to computation that have no single right answers, that are subjective and open-ended and value-laden. 机器智能在这里。我们现在使用计算来做所有的决定，但也有新的决定。我们 问的问题是没有一个正确答案的计算，这是主观的，开放的和价值的。 Were asking questions like, “Who should the company hire“ “Which update from which friend should you be shown“ “Which convict is more likely to reoffend“ “Which news item or movie should be recommended to people“ 我们在问这样的问题“公司应该雇佣谁”“你应该从哪个朋友那里得到更 新”“哪一个犯人更有可能重新犯罪”“应该向人们推荐哪种新闻或电影” Look,yes,wevebeenusingcomputersforawhile,butthisis different.Thisi
