【推荐2】Facial-Recognition Technology Cannot Read Emotions

Do not believe claims that facial-recognition technology can accurately identify people’s emotions, advised several scientists at the 2020 AAAS Annual Meeting in Seattle.

Such claims that a photo of a face can be easily_______are based on a flawed theory that we smile when we are happy and scowl (沉下脸) when angry, said Professor Aleix Martinez. “There’s no way that technology will ever be able to detect_______ that you’re experiencing following that approach,” Martinez said.

Research shows that, on average, people scowl only 30% of the time that they are angry, said Lisa Feldman Barrett, professor of psychology at Northeastern University. The rest of the time, they make other faces when they are angry, she said._______, people may scowl for other reasons — “when they’re concentrating, when someone tells them a bad joke,” she said. “Any AI that is claiming to detect a scowl and interpreting it as anger has some real_______.”

So much goes into communicating our emotions beyond our_______ movements. Other factors involving little use of language include our body pose, body movement and hormone responses like those that cause one’s face to go red from embarrassment or_______, said Martinez.

Martinez offered an example of the importance of having enough information. For instance, when he showed people a photo of a _________ man with his mouth wide open and his eyes nearly closed, most thought the man was extremely angry, his research showed. Yet anyone viewing the context — that the subject was a soccer player — could_________ that he was displaying excitement while celebrating a goal.

A mistake like this may not matter much, but so-called emotion-recognition technology has a larger reach. The technology’s _________ to incorporate facial movements could have serious, even dangerous outcomes, said Martinez. AI is sometimes used in classrooms, in the judicial (司法的) system and in hiring for jobs, he noted. Many of these systems learn from U.S. and European data ______________ by white people. Such inputs could negatively impact, for instance, the hiring of candidates of other races, Martinez said. “I think we have to take seriously the______________ in which this AI is being used,” said Barrett.

Seth Pollak, professor of psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, shared research about the____________ of our ability to understand facial expressions and emotions. For several decades, scientists thought that infants arrived into the world with a little understanding about emotions, Pollak said. To the contrary, babies do not express____________ emotions. They have a distress system that broadcasts whether they are OK or not. Children learn about emotions beyond good or bad, and research shows that even with incredibly brief levels of exposure to contextual information, very young children start to change how they____________ their inferences about other people’s emotions. “Human brains are actually able to____________ patterns and make inferences about what might be happening at a sophisticated computational level with actually very little experience.” he said.

文章大意：这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了作者对科幻小说的预测感到失望，但现实生活中人们的创造力还是令人期待的，在某些方面人们的创造力比科幻小说的预测更加优越。

【推荐3】Instead of cruising in on a hover-board, I rode my bike to the office today. The bicycle was invented in the 19th century. Instead of taking a pill for breakfast, I had a bacon roll, cooked using gas. Science fiction has _________ to us.

Making predictions is _________, especially about the future, as physicist Niels Bohr said. In science fiction, you can’t escape that challenge, _________. Since its birth in the 19th century, writers have _________ imagined the things to come: devices that humankind will invent to make life easier. But in so many instances, those promises have not come to pas. The biggest _________ are in travel- jet packs, hover-boards and flying cars are yet to fill the skies. Air travel has become significantly cheaper and wide-reaching, but only using _________ 20th —century technology; commercial aeroplanes are much the same as they were 50 years ago.

Automation is what science fiction frequently delivers, but its arrival in the real world has been _________. Domestic robots with a degree of intelligence are yet to _________, though robotic vacuum cleaners are commercially available — even if they are fairly hopeless. Video calls have now arrived—   _________ -—but conferencing on Skype is still dissatisfying. In mobiles, video call technology is now available, so when your dad rings to update you on his vegetable patch, he’ll be able to __________ your look of boredom.

The truth is that we quickly forget the astonishment of invention: our wonderment soon __________, replaced with the feeling of nothing new. We should try to stay in that period of amazement. It is __________ that the contents of every book ever written can be stored in a small box. Or that you can carry 10,000 albums on an object kept in your pocket. Or that almost all the information in the world can be accessed almost anywhere at any time. All these actions are dependent on the appearance of the microchip and its place in computers. Yet sci-fi didn’t predict the __________ of the computer in running our lives.

But the real area where reality far __________ predictions is medicine. Sure, fiction would describe humans as “disease-free” but without going into detail. “Disease-free” humans are still absent, but the progress made in maintaining life is breathtaking. With relative __________, we can sequence anyone’s genome(基因组), giving a read-out of our entire genetic code. This means we can find out the underlying genetic cause of thousands of diseases in minutes. While the invention of science fiction can show great ideas we’d like to happen, nothing outperforms the inventiveness of people in the real world.
