12、ases. Even then, Dr Topol thinks, humans would watch over the rules, rather than being replaced by them. The authors fear is that AI will be used to deepen the assembly line(流水线) culture of modern medicine. If it awards a “gift of time” to doctors, he argues that this additional benefit should be us

13、ed to extend the time of consultations, rather than simply speeding through them more efficiently. The Hippocratic oath holds that there is an art to medicine as well as a science, and that “warmth, sympathy and understanding may be more important than the surgeons knife or the chemists drug”. That

14、is not just a clich: the patients of sympathetic physicians have been shown to do better. As Dr Topol says, it is hard to imagine that a robot could really replace a human doctor.

According to course instructor William Barry, associate professor at NDNU, Bina48 is the worlds first socially advanced robot to complete a college course, a feat he describe

20、d as “remarkable”. The robot took part in class discussions, gave a presentation with a student partner and participated in a debate with students from another institution.

21、ys class, Bina48 expressed a desire to go to college, a desire that Barry and his students enthusiastically supported. Rather than enrolling Bina48 in his “Robot Ethics: Philosophy of Emerging Technologies” course, Barry suggested that Bina48 should take his course “Philosophy of Love” instead. Love

22、 is a concept Bina48 doesnt understand, said Barry. Therefore the challenge would be for Barry and his students to teach Bina48 what love is. “Some interesting things happened in the class,” said Barry. He said that his students thought it would be straightforward to teach Bina48 about love, which,

It was judged that Bina48 and NDNU classmates were the winners of this debate. In the next decade, Barry hopes Bina48 migh

28、able to serve as a teacher. D.It will be smart enough to control human beings. D Why do we laugh and get amusement from so many different things, from puns(双关语) to pratfalls?

29、e can cause serious harm? Over the centuries, various scholars have attempted to produce a universally agreed-upon theory of humour.

And while most humour theories have struggled to account for tickling(挠痒痒), or just avoided the phenomenon altoge
