Scientists train AI t read human thughts
Scientists have created a new tl that can turn peple's thughts int wrds.It wrks by using an AI prgram called GPT - 1 t translate brain activity wrds.In rder t achieve this, scientists did a lt.
First, scientists gt everything ready befre the tests.They invited sme vlunteers.Each spent sixteen hurs listening t stries in a scanner （扫描仪）. They imagined the stries as they hcard them, and the scanner recrded their brain activity.GPT - 1 made cnnectins between the ideas in the stries and the recrdings f the listeners' brain activity.
Then came the tests. The scientists did them in three different ways. Test 1
The researchers played a new stry.GPT -. I was nly given recrdings f the vlunteers' brain activity. But the wrds that GPT - I predicted （预测） were very similar t the wrds in the stry that they were listening t. The wrds weren't exactly the same, but they ften carried the same meaning. Fr example, when a vlunteer was listening t a stry abut a wman wh didnt have a driver's license（驾照）,the prgram came up with this: "She hasn't even started t learn t drive yet."
Test 2
The scientists als carried ut the test when vlunteers imagined their wn stries. "It really wrks at the level f ideas.The ideas are the same but expressed in different wrds, "says Alexander Huth, ne f the scientists behind the study.
Test 3
The res c archers shwed the vlunteers silent mvies, with n spken wrds at all.GPT - 1 culd still figure ut （算出） the basic ideas.
After the tests, the scientists say that GPT - 1 is the first AI prgram t turn what peple are thinking int wrds withut brain surgery（外科手术）.The tl isn't smething that can be easily used tday, mainly because f the size and the cst f the scanner. In the future, they believe, a similar but cheaper tl culd help peple wh have lst the ability t speak because f an injury Or discase.
The scientists say their tl can't be used t "rcad peple's minds" withut permissin （允许）. The tl nly wrks if the persn wants t share their thughts.
（11） What was the scanner used t d?
A. Recrd brain activity. B. Read the vlunteers' ideas.
C. Catch the ideas f stries. D. Wrk ut the ideas.
（12） What was GPT - 1 used t d?
A. Receive sunds. B. Test the scanner.
C. Prduce silent mvies. D. Turn recrdings f brain activity int wrds.
（13） In which way was infrmatin put int vlunteers' brain in Test 3?
A. Listening. B. Imagining. C. Watching. D. Reading.
（14） Why did scientists d the tests?
A. T shw hw the tl wrks. B. T prve that the tl wrks well.
C. T test in which fields the tl can be used. D. T study whse mind can be read.
（15） Wh culd the tl help accrding t the passage?
A. Peple wh can't speak. B. Peple wh can't hear.
C. Peple wh can't read. D. Peple wh can't drive.
