6 5-2020 晚上好！欢迎收听今天的BBC英语 人工智能可以帮我们消除一些枯燥、重复性工作。机器人技术的进步着实让人惊叹，但与此同时，我们又有了新的担忧：我们会被机器人取代吗？本文介绍目前已投入工作中的机器人。 If you're in a job performing tedious tasks, you might think that a robot could do the work instead. But perhaps we underestimate how much technology already helps with the activities that we would otherwise have to do. And as artificial intelligence progresses we might find it replaces us in the workplace altogether. For now, robotic technology is providing a helping hand for businesses, particularly in manufacturing, assisting humans in performing work more efficiently and sometimes more accurately. For online shopping, for example, robots have become essential in giant warehouses. They sort and move millions of objects of all different shapes and sizes, although humans are still needed to pick and distribute the goods. The advancement of robotics in the workplace is good for some businesses; the ones who research, develop, build and use them. The British government estimates that by 2035, artificial intelligence could add around £630bn to the UK economy. But there are still tasks that robots can't yet do, and that's the challenge for companies such as Automata. Its co-founder, Suryansh Chandra, told the BBC that his technology will eliminate boring, repetitive jobs that humans don't like and aren't very good at, and also create new ones that are likely to replace them. It seems inevitable that robots will eventually be able to do more and more of the jobs that are currently performed by humans, so should we be worried by the rise of the machines? Some experts fear hundreds of thousands of jobs could disappear as robots replace human workers. A report by the OECD suggests that 14 percent of jobs are 'at high risk of automation' and 32 percent of jobs could be 'radically transformed', with the manufacturing sector at the highest risk. But as complete automation is some way off, for now we'll have to work side-by-side with our robot colleagues — and manage to get along with them before they learn to kick us out of the door! 词汇表  artificial intelligence 人工智能 a helping hand 帮助，助（人）一臂之力 efficiently 有效地 accurately 准确地 essential 必不可少的 sort 挑拣，分类 distribute 分送 advancement 发展 eliminate 消除 repetitive 重复的 inevitable 不可避免的 automation 自动化 transformed 被彻底改变 *本文章由BBC英语教学授权 |
