题目内容:
The human beings seem to be facing a crisis (危机). After our best Go players were defeated one by one by the artificial intelligence (AI) AlphaGo, we lost our pride of being at the top of the intelligence chain. And in October, when Saudi Arabia gave citizenship to a robot named Sophia, another privilege of being human was taken away. It looks like everything that separates humans and AI is at risk fight now.
But we keep hoping that instead of "everything", there's still something left in us that makes us irreplaceable.
To Hao Jingfang, winner of the 2016 Hugo Award for Best Novelette, that "something" is our consciousness. "AlphaGo is intelligent in a certain way, but not intelligent enough to ask the important questions -- Do I like playing Go? Do I want to play Go today? Why do I have to play Go when you tell me to?" she once said. In other words, computer programs don't have a choice to say "no". They probably don't even know what a "choice" is -- all they ever do is calculate.
And to He Huaihong, a philosophy (哲学) professor at Peking University, imagination and creativity are also what make us special. "A machine couldn't have come up with the theory of gravity just because it was hit by a falling apple", he said. "It's human imagination that connects what seem to be completely random and irrelevant concepts, something that a machine--which works by fixed rules only--can't do, at least for now."
This is why BBC reporter Viktor Mayer-Schonberger suggested that instead of focusing on how computers have overshadowed us on calculating abilities than humans, we should probably "consider our quality at a different end of the spectrum (光谱):creativity, originality (原创性), even plain illogical craziness, instead of hard-nosed (顽固的) logic", he wrote.
So maybe in the future, as artificial intelligence becomes even more intelligent, humans and A1will learn to use each other's talents for good. If AI can handle the boring tasks like calculating and driving for us, we'll have more time to create, think, and be busy with "being human".

4.What could be the future of AI according to the author? ______
