01场景五:人工智能与知识产权(仔细阅读·事实细节题)
【真题改编】
Passage 4
Three artists have brought a lawsuit against Stability AI, DeviantArt, and Midjourney, alleging that the text-to-image AI tools have infringed the rights of thousands of artists. The plaintiffs claim these companies trained their models on billions of copyrighted images without permission. The artists argue that AI tools can bypass the considerable labor involved in creating artworks, which will eventually lead to artists losing their means of subsistence. While some tech advocates support AI's limited use of copyrighted images without permission under "fair use," legal scholars argue that this defense may not apply to the present legal case.
02 选项
Question:
What is the main concern of the artists suing the AI companies?
A) AI companies are violating the "fair use" doctrine.
B) AI tools bypass human labor, threatening artists' livelihoods.
C) Legal scholars are biased against technological innovation.
D) Copyrighted images are being stored in insecure databases.
03答案解析
Answers:
正确答案:B
1. 题目定位与考点分析:这是一道事实细节题。题干问“起诉AI公司的艺术家的主要担忧是什么”。关键词是“main concern of the artists”。我们需要在文中寻找代表艺术家立场(plaintiffs/artists argue)的句子。原文第三句“The artists argue that AI tools can bypass the considerable labor... which will eventually lead to artists losing their means of subsistence.”清晰地表达了他们的核心诉求。
2. 选项逐一拆解:
A选项(错误): “AI公司违反了‘合理使用’原则。” 原文提到“fair use”是“tech advocates”(科技倡导者)用来辩护的理由,而艺术家是起诉他们侵权。虽然艺术家认为侵权,但B选项更准确地概括了艺术家陈述的“实质性损害”。
B选项(正确): “AI工具绕过了人类劳动,威胁到艺术家的生计。” 选项中的“bypass human labor”完美对应原文的“bypass the considerable labor”,“threatening artists' livelihoods”对应原文的“losing their means of subsistence”。这是最直接、最核心的同义替换。
C选项(错误): “法律学者对技术创新有偏见。” 原文只是客观陈述了法律学者的观点(defense may not apply),并未提及他们是否有“偏见(biased)”。属于主观臆断。
D选项(错误): “受版权保护的图像被存储在不安全的数据库中。” 原文提到了“billions of copyrighted images”,但完全没有提及数据库的安全性问题。属于典型的“无中生有”。
04文章解析
三位艺术家对Stability AI、DeviantArt和Midjourney提起诉讼,声称这些文字转图像的人工智能工具侵犯了数千名艺术家的权利。原告声称,这些公司未经许可在数十亿张受版权保护的图片上训练他们的模型。艺术家们认为,人工智能工具可以绕过创作艺术品所涉及的大量劳动,这最终将导致艺术家失去生存手段。虽然一些技术倡导者支持人工智能在未经许可的情况下,以“合理使用”的名义有限地使用受版权保护的图像,但法律学者辩称。
05解题技巧总结:
3. 备考启示:
在涉及“诉讼、争议、多方观点”的文章中,出题人非常喜欢考察“某一方(如原告、批评者、支持者)的具体观点”。做这类题时,一定要找准“观点的主体”。题干问的是“artists”的担忧,就必须死死盯住“The artists argue that...”这一句,不要被后面“tech advocates”或“legal scholars”的观点带偏。同时,“means of subsistence”(生计)这种稍显生僻的表达,在选项中通常会被替换为更常见的“livelihoods”或“income”,这正是六级阅读考察词汇广度的体现。
