问题     In 30 years, your shoes will be smarter than you. That’s not meant to be an insult but rather what Masayoshi Son believes will be the case as robots outnumber humans and exceed their intelligence in just three decades. " One of the chips in our shoes in the next 30 years will be smarter than our brain. We will be less than our shoes. And we are stepping on them," the chairman and CEO of Japan’s SoftBank Group chuckled.
    Son was talking up the concept of "singularity (奇点，奇异)," that is when the artificial intelligence built into computers, connected Internet of Things objects and the cloud will surpass that of the human brain.
    As robots gain that same level of intelligence, the societal impact is likely to be profound. Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban recently tweeted that "Automation is going to cause unemployment and we need to prepare for it. " And Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates recently said in an interview that robots that take over a job formerly done by a real live person should be taxed at the same level as that human.
    Softbank’s Son notes that today, an average IQ for a person is around 100. If you’re an Einstein or Da Vinci your IQ is around 200 marks, and you’re considered a genius. In contrast, Son believes Al-infused (灌输，充满) computers will eventually have an IQ of 10,000. " This burst of superintelligence," he says, "is going to become a reality. " And this intelligence will make its way into all sorts of IOT devices, robots, cars and up in the cloud.
    According to Son, a population of smart robots will exceed the population of mankind over this 30-year timeframe. Such brainy robots will make up all sizes and shapes. Some will fly, some will swim, some will have two legs, some will have hundreds of legs.
    SoftBank is also spending a lot of time focused on security. There were 128 billion cyberattacks last year, 4.5 times the year before. "The number (of hacks) is exponentially (以指数方式) growing, so we have to be very careful," Son says. He played a video during his remarks demonstrating how hackers could steer a connected vehicle or prevent the brakes from working. To combat such threats, the company recently announced that it is putting new encrypted (编码，加密) security features into the microcontroller chips that go into cars and IOT devices.
    Some scholars at Oxford came up with 12 risks mat threaten human intelligence, such things as nuclear war, global pandemics (流行病) and so forth. Artificial intelligence made the list too. But AI can also be the solution for the other crises, Son says. "If we misuse it, it’s a risk. If we use it in good spirit, it will be our partner for a better life. " [br] In what way can your shoes become smarter than you in a near future?
选项 A、By implanting more chips.
B、By connecting to computers.
C、By trying to lead our steps.
D、By applying AI technology.
答案 D
解析 由题干中的your shoes和smarter定位至第一、二段细节理解题。文章第一段指出，30年内我们的鞋就会比我们还聪明，而且机器人也会在数量和智商方面超过人类。所谓鞋子变得聪明是指植入了芯片，而第二段进一步解释了这种芯片是基于可以融合物联网和云技术的人工智能，可见鞋子之所以在不远的将来会变得比我们聪明，是因为应用了人工智能技术，故答案为D)。
