Read the text, and identify whether the statements are true (T), false (F), or not given (NG). Can an artificially intelligent machine be artistic? Magenta, a project from the Google Brain team, released its first computer-generated song, which was composed without any human assistance. While the melody sounds a lot like those old keyboards that came with pre-programmed beats, the first outing is impressive when taking into consideration Magenta is self-taught. A Google representative told ABC News some drums were added to Magenta's first composition, but the melody is entirely computer-generated. Whether Magenta's music is any good is another question - and one of Google plans to tackle in the future is to help Magenta improve. "To answer the evaluation question we need to get Magenta tools in the hands of artists and musicians, and Magenta media in front of viewers and listeners," Douglas Eck, a research scientist on the Google Brain team, wrote in a blog post on Wednesday. "As Magenta evolves, we’ll be working on good ways to achieve this." Machine learning allows artificially intelligent systems to become smarter over time. Google's machines have already shown their ability - from translation services and recognizing
images to beating the human world champion of "Go," a complex game with trillions of potential moves. In the case of "Go," Google was able to set up two neural networks. One network would be able to predict the next move while the other would predict the outcome. The programme got smarter by learning about games played by human experts while also playing thousands of games between its neural networks, allowing it to better master Go. T F NG 1.

Read the text, and do the tasks that follow. There’s a point at which a robot becomes more than just a tool. Robots may perform specific functions - such as lifting objects, or repeatedly performing the same action over and over. But A.I. describes something that can actually think for itself. What jobs could ultimately be threatened by artificial intelligence? There are many, but some are more surprising than others. 1 Did you know that many of the news articles you read every day are not written by human beings? More and more writing is being offloaded to AI. which are capable of putting together articles that are not much different from what professional writers and journalists create. Right now, A.I. is handling the writing for things like earnings reports, and other business documents. 2 At some point in the near future, we’ll all be handing over our car keys to computers. We all know about driverless cars, but it really goes much deeper than that. It’s likely that artificial pilots will be in control of trucks, planes or trains. Once that driverless technology is adopted on a mass scale, society could benefit from reductions in traffic gridlock, less wasted fuel, and of course, more leisure time during our commute. 3 When you think about it, allowing an AI to handle this job makes a lot of sense. For example, why do we put human firefighters in danger when we can just send in our metal-and-silicone friends? After all, machines can resist higher temperatures, don’t need to worry about smoke inhalation, and can use lasers and radar to better navigate in close-quarters, where people may not be able to see. Though firefighting is the first that comes to mind, the technology could also be applied in many other areas. Driving ambulances, and even cleaning up hazardous leaks or spills are prime examples. 4 What happens when we apply A.I. to the world of music? You probably end up with a number of chart-toppers. At least, that’s what some in the industry are thinking. We are quite close now to generate nice melodies in the style of pop composers such as McCartney. Technology has also been able to resurrect dead stars, like Michael Jackson. 5 When you're frustrated with a billing error, all you want to do is talk to a human being. Businesses are adopting AI to handle this department, and as you may have guessed, that
