Artificial Intelligence(AI) is making it possible for companies to monitor workers' behavior in great detail and in real time.Start to slack off(懈?。?,and AI could talk to your boss.
One company offering such services is Londonbased startup Status Today.Its AI platform relies on a regular supply of employee data,including everything from the files you access to when you use a key card.From this,it builds a picture of how employees normally function and signals any unusual performance.The idea is to spot when someone might become a security risk by doing something different from their usual behavioral patterns."All of this gives us fingerprint of a user,so if we think the fingerprint doesn't match,we raise a warning,"says Mircea Dumitrescu,the company's chief technology officer.
The system also aims to catch employee actions that could accidentally cause a security breach(漏洞),like opening malware(惡意軟件)."We're not monitoring if your computer has a virus." says Dumitrescu."We're monitoring human behaviors."
But catching the security breach means monitoring everyone,and the AI can also be used to track employee productivity."It seems like they are just using the reputation of AI to give an air of lawfulness to oldfashioned workplace surveillance(監(jiān)視)," says Javier Ruiz Diaz of digital campaigning organization the Open Rights Group."You have a right to privacy and you shouldn't be expected to give that up at work."
Exactly how companies use the system will be up to them,but it's hard to shake the picture of an AI constantly looking over employees' shoulders."It will bother people,and that could be counterproductive if it affects their behavior," says Paul Bemal at the University of East Anglia.
Phil Legg at the University of the West of England says it will never catch every security risk."If people know they're being monitored,they can change their behavior," he says.

2.Each year on Halloween,children look forward to trick-or-treating (不請(qǐng)客就搗亂) for candies.But for some kids,eating Halloween candies can be dangerous.
That's because one out of every 13 kids in the Us have a food allergy(過(guò)敏癥).They are allergic to ingredients(成分)in many Halloween candies,such as peanuts,tree nuts,milk,eggs,and beans.If they eat these foods,they will get sick or even die.
"I had to throw away all my candies with tears," eight-year-old Conlen said.Conlen is allergic to peanuts,tree nuts,and dairy.Twelve-year-old Kylie is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts.She has been trick-or-treating only twice. "I brought my candies home and gave them to the neighbors," Kylie said. "It felt terrible."
But this year,Conlen,Kylie and other kids with food allergies will have a chance for a happy Halloween.That's because nearly 100,000 households across the US have promised to take part in the Teal Pumpkin Project(TPP),which was started last year by Food Allergy Research & Education(FARE).FARE is an organization that works to improve the lives of people with food allergies.Through the project,the households agree to have nonfood items for trick-or-treaters,including trinkets(小飾品) and toys.
To take part in the project,people buy a teal(藍(lán)綠色) pumpkin or paint a pumpkin teal and place it in front of their house.The painted pumpkins let trick-or-treaters know that nonfood items are available there.The households also add their home addresses to an online map,making it easier for trick-or-treaters to find them.
Kylie loves the idea."The TPP makes Halloween fun and safe," she said."It makes me feel like a normal kid,and it makes everyone feel included."
(1)To Conlen and Kylie,the past Halloween were
A.upsetting and dangerous
B.interesting and special
C.sick and terrible
D.important and exciting
(2)According to the passage,we know that FARE
A.helps people with food allergies recover
B.helps the households take part in the TPP
C.takes action to change kids' bad eating habits
D.helps kids with food allergies have a happy Halloween
(3)The households help kids with food allergies by
A.giving them teal pumpkins as gifts
B.offering them all kinds of food except candies
C.providing them with trinkets and toys as treats
D.a(chǎn)sking them for home addresses and sending them gifts
(4)Where is the passage most probably taken from?
A.A magazine about the history of festivals.
B.A news report on cultures and customs.
C.An advertisement for an organization.
D.A research paper on kid's health.發(fā)布:2024/12/19 20:30:1組卷:36引用:3難度:0.7 -
3.Besides the excitement of travel,one reason to study abroad is that you will experience new customs,holidays,foods,art,music,and politics first-hand.
"I learned the language and am now fluent,but perhaps what's more important is how much I learned about cultures,people,and myself.I learned this from the viewpoint of an active member of the community and my host family,not from the tourist's point of view," says Andrew,who studied in Poitiers,F(xiàn)rance.
Another reason for studying abroad is that you'll gain self-confidence.Christina studied in Caracas,Venezuela,a city of more than 3 million people and a huge change from her hometown of 35,000!Christina says she learned how to better stand up for herself and her beliefs and to express herself in another language.What could make you more confident than that?
Living away from home can also help you adjust in the transition(過(guò)渡)to college and adulthood.Mathew says he returned from studying in Australia with confidence and a real interest in international affairs that made him different from his peers(同齡人). "After having gone abroad in high school,I found the transition to college a breeze—moving 560 miles from home didn't seem particularly frightening after having lived thousands of miles away."
Most of all,it's fun while you're studying in a different learning environment.
(1)What is the passage mainly about?
A.Learning a language.
B.The excitement of travel.
C.Living in a foreign country.
D.The benefits of studying abroad.
(2)What did Andrew pay special attention to while studying abroad?
