  • Text 4 Henry Kissinger published an article in the June 2018 Atlantic Monthly detailing his belief artificial intelligence(AI)threatens to be a problem for humanity-probably an existential problem.He joins Elon Musk,Bill Gates,Stephen Hawking and others who have come out to declare the dangers ofAI.The difference is,unlike those scientists and technologists,the former secretary of State speaks with great authority to a wider audience that includes policy makers and political leaders,and so could have a much greater influence.And that's not a good thing.There's a widespread lack of precision in how we describe AI that is giving rise to a significant apprehension on its use in self-driving cars,automated farms,drone airplanes and many other areas where it could be extremely useful.In particular,Kissinger commits the same error many people do when talking about AI:the so-called conflation error.In this case the error comes about when the success ofAI programs in defeating humans in games such as chess and go are conflated with similar successes that might be achieved with AI programs used in supply chain management or claims adjustments or other,more futuristic areas.But the two situations are very different.The rules of games like chess and go are prescriptive,somewhat complicated and never change.They are,in the context of AI,"well bounded."A book teaching chess or go written 100 years ago is still relevant today.Training an AI to play one of these games takes advantage of this"boundedness"in a variety of interesting ways,including letting the AI decide how it will play.Now,however,imagine the rules of chess could change randomly at any time in any location:Chess on Tuesdays in Chicago has one set of rules but in Moscow there are a different set of rules on Thursdays.Chess players in Mexico use a completely different board,one for each month of the year.In Sweden the role for each piece can be decided by a player even after the game starts.In a situation like this it's obviously impossible to write down a single set rules that everyone can follow at all times in all locations.AI is today being applied to business systems like claims and supply chains that,by their very nature,are unbounded.It is impossible to write down all the rules an AI has to follow when adjudicating an insurance claim or managing the supply chain,even for something as simple as bubblegum.The only way to train an AI to manage one of these is to feed it massive amounts of data on all the'myriad processes and companies that make up an insurance claim or a simple supply chain.We then hope the Al can do the job-not just efficiently,but also ethically.
    To make AI manage better,the business department should_____
    A.try to write down all the rules
    B.adjust its way of managing
    C.provide sufficient relevant data
    D.simplify its complicated processes

  • Text 4 A US drug company has increased the price of an acne cream by more than 3,900%to$9,561 in less than 18 months in the latest example of drug"price cheating",which has enraged the American public and become a central topic of debate in the presidential election campaign.Novum Pharma,a recently formed privately held Chicago-based company,bought the rights to drug Aloquin in May 2015.The 60g cream,which contains two cheap ingredients,was sold by its previous owner,Primus Pharmaceuticals,for$241.50.Nowm almost immediately increased the price by l,100%,and hiked the price higher still in January 2016.Figures seen by the Financial 77mes show the company increased the price a third time last week to take the cost to$9,561.So-called"price cheating",in which companies buy the rights to older drugs and then vastly increase their cost,has provoked outrage across the country and led to calls for reform of the US healthcare system.Earlier this month,Hillary Clinton claimed"It's time to move beyond talking about these price hikes and start acting to address them.AlI Americans deserve full access to the medications they need-without being burdened by excessive,unjustified costs."Clinton said she would change the law to allow the"emergency importation"of safe altemative treatments from abroad.Aloquin contains two cheap active ingredients:a decades-old antibiotic,iodoquinol,and an extract from the aloe vera plant.Iodoquinol can be bought for as little as$30 a tube and aloe vera cream costs a few dollars.The drug is labelled as"possibly effective",as the US Food and Drug Administration has stated that there is only limited evidence that the drug is effective.Novum has also drastically increased the price of its other two skin creams,Alcortin A and Novacort.The drugs are prescription only,with the cost being mostly covered by health insurance or government assistance.In instances when the full cost of the treatment isn't covered by insurance,Novum provides coupons to reduce the proportion that patients have to pay,while collecting the rest from the health plan.The company,which is privately held and does not publish figures on sales or profits,did not reply to requests for comment.A spokesman told the public that the firm was founded by"a group oflike-minded investors who believe in the firm's focus ofproviding therapeutic innovations that are affordable for patients".40.The response ofNovum shows that——
    A.they are not under the supervision of FDA
    B.they are not regulated by the public
    C.they claimed to offer affordable drugs to the public
    D.they dare not to reply to the comment
