As robots take on ever more complex roles, the question naturally 1__________ : Who will be responsible when they do something wrong? Manufacturers? Users? Software writers? The answer depends on the robot. Robots already save us time, money and energy. In the future, they will improve our health care, social welfare and standard of living. The 2__________ of computational power and engineering advances will 3__________ enable lower-cost in-home care for the disabled, 4__________ use of driverless cars that may reduce drunk- and distracted-driving accidents and countless home and service-industry uses for robots, from street cleaning to food preparation. But there are 5__________ to be problems. Robot cars will crash. A drone ( 遥控飞行器 ) operator will 6__________ someone's privacy. A robotic lawn mower will run over a neighbor's cat. Juries sympathetic to the 7__________ of machines will punish entrepreneurs with company-crushing 8__________ and damages. What should governments do to protect people while 9__________ space for innovation? Big, complicated systems on which much public safety depends, like driverless cars, should be built, 10__________ and sold by manufacturers who take responsibility for ensuring safety and are liable for accidents. Governments should set safety requirements and then let insurers price the risk of the robots based on the manufacturer's driving record, not the passenger's.
