29、rs to deep sea explorers, more and more of humans tasks are being taken over by robots. But technology doesn t stop there. In mid-August, reported the BBC, scientists from Cambridge University developed a robotic system that meant a robot could “ build other robots, each one better than the previous
30、(以前的 ) generation”. The BBC noted that “ those concerned about machines taking over the world shouldn t worry”. However, over 1,000 scientists and numerous artificial intelligence (AI, 人工智能 ) researchers including UK astrophysicist Stephen Hawking and Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak of the US-brought
31、the danger of fully autonomous weapons(自主武器 ), known as “ killer robots” , to our attention earlier this summer. “ If any major military( 军事的 ) power pushes ahead with AI weapon development, a global arms race is inevitable( 不可避免的 ), ” warned an open letter released at the International Joint Confer
32、ence on Artificial Intelligence held in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Unlike drones(无人机 ), which need a human hand, this kind of robot would have some decision-making abilities and the ability to act by itself.

They believe all technologies have potential(潜力 ) for being used for good and evil ends, and argue that the ban calle
37、d for by the open letter could close the door to developing AI technology that could save lives. “ Technology can clearly do better than human beings in many cases,” Ronald Arkin, dean at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, US, told The Christian Science Monitor. “ If we are willing to t
