It is equally important that they provide influential moral lessons, highlighting the dangers of failing to follow the social codes that let human beings coexist in harmony. Such moral lessons may not mean much to a robot, but

21、 a team of researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology believes it has found a way to use the fairy tales as moral lessons that AI (artificial intelligence) can take to its cold and mechanical heart. The collected stories of different cultures teach children how to behave in socially acceptable w

22、ays with examples of proper and improper behavior in fairy tales, novels and other literature. We believe story comprehension in robots can eliminate the immoral behavior of the the intelligent robots, which was predicted and feared by some of the biggest names in technology including Stephen Hawkin

23、g and Bill Gates. This system is called “Quixote” (堂吉诃德). It collects story plots from the Internet and then uses those stories to teach robots how to behave.The experiment done by the designers involves going to a drugstore to purchase some medicine for a human who needs to get it as soon as possib

24、le. The robot has three options. It can wait in line; it can interact with the store keeper politely and purchase the medicine with priority; or it can steal the medicine and escape. Without any further directives (指令), the robot will come to the conclusion that the most efficient means of obtaining

25、 the medicine is to steal it. But Quixote offers a reward for waiting in line and politely purchasing the medicine and a punishment for stealing it. In this way, the robot will learn the moral way to behave on that occasion. Quixote would run best on a robot that has a very limited function. Its a b

26、aby step in the direction of teaching more moral lessons into robots. We believe that AI has to be trained to adopt the values of a particular society, and in doing so, it will strive to avoid unacceptable behavior. Giving robots the ability to read and understand our stories may be the most efficie

DTraining robots to read fairy tales.DI loved watching comedians on television as a kid. Id hear a joke and ask myself: why it got a laugh? What made it work? Could I ever

30、 make it as a comedian? But first I had to finish school and earn a living. After graduation, I worked as an accountant, managing the petty cash in the drawer. It was in this area that I developed my own very odd theory of accounting: If you got a couple of dollars , everything was okay(The theory n

31、ever really caught on). Every day Id have to check what was in the drawer with the receipts. It never balanced. At first Id be tearing my hair out until I found the balance. Finally, one day I pulled the amount I was short of from my pocket and called it a day. Mr. Hutchinson, head of accounting, di

32、scovered my shortcut to balancing petty cash. he lectured me: “These are not sound accounting principles.” I said: “Im not cut out for accounting.
