问题    The AlphaGo program’ s victory is an example of how smart computers have become.
   But can artificial intelligence (AI) machines act ethically, meaning can they be honest and fair?
   One example of AI is driverless cars. They are already on California roads, so it is not too soon to ask whether we can program a machine to act ethically. As driverless cars improve, they will save lives. They will make fewer mistakes than human drivers do. Sometimes, however, they will face a choice between lives. Should the cars be programmed to avoid hitting a child running across the road, even if that will put their passengers at risk? What about making a sudden turn to avoid a dog? What if the only risk is damage to the car itself, not to the passengers?
   Perhaps there will be lessons to learn from driverless cars, but they are not super-intelligent beings. Teaching ethics to a machine even more intelligent than we are will be the bigger challenge.
   About the same time as AlphaGo’ s triumph, Microsoft’ s "chatbot" took a bad turn. The software, named Taylor, was designed to answer messages from people aged 18 -24. Taylor was supposed to be able to learn from the messages she received. She was designed to slowly improve her ability to handle conversations, but some people were teaching Taylor racist ideas. When she started saying nice things about Hitler, Microsoft turned her off and deleted her ugliest messages.
   AlphaGo’ s victory and Taylor’ s defeat happened at about the same time. This should be a warning to us. It is one thing to use AI within a game with clear rules and clear goals. It is something very different to use AI in the real world. The unpredictability of the real world may bring to the surface a troubling software problem.
   Eric Schmidt is one of the bosses of Google, which owns AlphaGo. He thinks AI will be positive for humans. He said people will be the winner, whatever the outcome. Advances in AI will make human beings smarter, more able and "just better human beings".
What is said to be the bigger challenge facing humans in the AI age?
选项 A、How to make super-intelligent AI machines share human feelings.
B、How to ensure that super-intelligent AI machines act ethically.
C、How to prevent AI machines doing harm to humans.
D、How to avoid being over-dependent on AI machines.
答案B
解析 细节题。原文第四段第二句指出，向比我们还要聪明的机器灌输伦理道德将是更大的挑战。由此可知，B项描述符合原文，故答案为B。A、C、D三项原文均未提及，故排除。
