請回答下列第31題至第35題
The Canadian government is hoping to use artificial intelligence (AI) to inform how it mounts legal challenges
to immigration and refugee claims as part of a new pilot program. Ottawa plans on using the emerging technology
to reduce government lawyers’ need to perform their own legal research, a costly and time-consuming process. But
there are already concerns that the nuanced and difficult nature of many refugee and immigration claims may be
lost on those government computer systems, leading to massive human-rights implications. And the government
admits that it hopes to use AI and machine learning, eventually, to help determine refugee applications themselves.
The plan is all laid out in a request for information submitted to industry.
The request for information asks industry to submit their own technological solutions for a joint pilot
project, run by Citizenship and Immigration Canada and Justice Canada, to “support case law and legal
research, facilitate trend analysis in litigation, predict litigation outcomes, and help develop legal advice and
assessments,” according to a government spokesperson. The government hopes that, if the pilot is a success,
front-line immigration officials in Canada and abroad could use this technology “to aid in their assessment of
the merits of an application before decisions are finalized.”
Lex Gill, a research fellow who specializes in AI and public policy, said replacing human work with
algorithms, especially if the data that goes into them is itself flawed, will always pose potential human-rights
concerns. “There is the risk that instead of improving the situation, these technologies may just entrench or
encourage unfair or discriminatory practices,” she said. But while the debate around those risks continues,
Ottawa is already getting set to roll out the pilot project.
According to the passage, what may be the reason for the Canadian government to use the emerging technology?
AIt may aid industry to submit their own technological solutions for immigration.
BIt may lead to massive human-rights implications in government computer systems.
CIt may reduce the need to perform costly and time-consuming legal research.正確答案
DIt may replace human work with algorithms and pose potential human-rights concerns.
