Jane Addams（1860-1935）

Rachel Carson（1907-1964）

Sandra Day O’Connor（1930～present）

When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator（参议员）and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.

Rosa Parks（1913～2005）

On December1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott.

26、Artificial intelligence (AI人工智能) may be one of man’s greatest inventions because it can improve people’s daily life and bring efficiency (效率) to lots of industries.

Like any other technology, AI will also bring risks. In February 2018, a group of AI scientists got together to discuss the problem of AI. They found that AI could help us, but also caused us problems.

Their biggest concern was that criminals could use AI for bad purposes. They could use AI to create websites to steal people’s personal information. Another possibility is that AI programs could break into computer secure systems.

There are some other concerns as well. It is possible that AI could create fake (假) images and videos. Chinese tech giant Baidu, in fact, had developed a program called Deep Voice that can “Clone” (克隆) anyone’s voice by studying a 3.7-second audio sample (音频样本).”

Some leaders in the tech world care about AI. People like Bill Gates and Musk hope the industry can be more strictly regulated (规范) because there are few laws right now on the use of AI.

In March 2018, the European Union planned to set up a group to discuss the dangers of AI and suggest some regulations that will help us keep it safe for humans.
