A questão refere-se ao texto destacado a seguir.
Experts warn that “the substitution of machinery for human labour” may “render the population
redundant”. They worry that “the discovery of this mighty power” has come “before we knew how to
employ it rightly”. Such fears are expressed today by those who worry that advances in artificial
intelligence (AI) could destroy millions of jobs and pose a “Terminator”-style threat to humanity. But
these are in fact the words of commentators discussing mechanisation and steam power two centuries
ago. Back then the controversy over the dangers posed by machines was known as the “machinery
question”. Now a very similar debate is under way.
After many false dawns, AI has made extraordinary progress in the past few years, thanks to
a versatile technique called “deep learning”. Given enough data, large (or “deep”) neural networks,
modelled on the brain's architecture, can be trained to do all kinds of things. They power Google's
search engine, Facebook's automatic photo tagging, Apple's voice assistant, Amazon's shopping
recommendations and Tesla's self-driving cars. But this rapid progress has also led to concerns about
safety and job losses. Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk and others wonder whether AI could get out of
control, precipitating a sci-fi conflict between people and machines. Others worry that AI will cause
widespread unemployment, by automating cognitive tasks that could previously be done only by
people. After 200 years, the machinery question is back. It needs to be answered.

Leia as afirmações a seguir para responder à questão.
I. Redes neurais alimentam o mecanismo de busca do Google, o assistente de voz da Apple, a
identificação de fotografias no Facebook, as sugestões de compras da Amazon, os carros
autônomos da Tesla.
II. O temor de que as máquinas substituiriam o trabalho humano era real há duzentos anos, mas
superado na atualidade.
III. Steven Hawkings e Elon Musk especulam se a I.A. pode sair do controle, levando pessoas e
máquinas a um conflito somente visto em obras de ficção científica.
IV. Duzentos anos atrás, a controvérsia sobre os perigos impostos pelas máquinas era conhecida como
“a questão das máquinas”.
