Question 5 is based on the conversation you have just heard.

听力原文

W: (5) [How do you feel about the future of artificial intelligence? Personally, I feel quite optimistic about it.] 

M: (5) [AI? I’m not so optimistic actually. In fact, it’s something we should be concerned about.] 

W: Well, it will help us humans understand ourselves better, and when we have a better understanding of ourselves, we can improve the world.

M: Well, one thing is for sure: technology is evolving faster than our ability to understand it, and in the future AI will make jobs kind of pointless.

W: (6) [I think artificial intelligence will actually help create new kinds of jobs which would require less of our time and allow us to be centered on creative tasks.] 

M: I doubt that very much. Probably the last job that will remain would be writing AI software. And then eventually, AI will just write its own software.

W: At that time, we are going to have a lot of jobs which nobody will want to do. So we’ll need artificial intelligence for the robots to take care of the old guys like us.

M: I don’t know. (7) [There’s a risk that human civilization could be replaced by a superior type of digital life.] AI will be able to completely simulate a person in every way possible. In fact, some people think we’re in a simulation, right now. 

W: That’s impossible. Humans can’t even make a mosquito. Computers only have chips. People have brains, and that’s where the wisdom comes from.

M: (8) [Once it’s fully developed, AI will become tired of trying to communicate with humans, as we would be much slower thinkers in comparison.] 

W: I’m not so sure. A computer is a computer, and a computer is just a toy.

M: (8) [Computers can easily communicate incredibly fast, so the computer will just get impatient talking to humans. It’ll be barely getting any information out.] 

W: Well, I believe there’s a benevolent future with AI. I also think you watch too many science fiction films.

5. What do we learn about the speakers from the conversation?（关于两位讲话者，我们能从对话中了解到什么？）

解析：C。在录音开头，女士提到自己对人工智能技术的前景非常看好，而男士说自己对此没有那么乐观，反而感到担忧。由此可知，二人对于人工智能的前景看法不同，故C项为正确答案。

错项排除：对话中两个人对于人工智能技术的态度有很大不同，男士觉得人工智能技术令人感到担忧，但女士对此持乐观态度，故排除A项。对话中两个人主要是在观点上存在分歧，但没有体现出他们对于现代科技的了解程度存在很大差异，故排除B项。录音中虽然提到了jobs，但对话的焦点在于人工智能对人类就业的影响，并没有说对话中两个人都在不同的人工智能领域工作，故排除D项。
