The experts found that large, long-lived animals are better able to cope with extreme weather such as

27、 long-time drought and heavy rainfall.The researchers analyzed historical population variations among 157 mammal species from around the world. These fluctuations (波动) were compared with weather and climate date from the same time period. The results are providing new insight into how animals respon

28、d to extreme weather. In particular, the experts have identified which animal populations will be the hardest hit by climate change.“We can see a clear pattern: Animals that live a long time and have few offspring are less vulnerable (脆弱的) when extreme weather hits than animals that live for a short

29、 time and have many offspring,” said study Professor Owen.Large animals that live longer can cope better with an extreme event such as a persistent drought because these animals have the option to wait until conditions improve to reproduce. The same weather event would affect small mammals different

30、ly, as food sources like insects, flowers, and fruits would disappear quickly.On the other hand, populations of small mammals may also take advantage when weather conditions improve by producing many offspring.“These small mammals react quickly to extreme weather, and it goes both ways. Their weakne

31、ss to extreme weather should therefore not be equated (等同) with a risk of extinction. Our analysis helps predict how different animal species might respond to future climate change based on their general characteristics.” said study co-author Jackson. He emphasized that the ability of animals to end

32、ure climate change is not the only factor for their extinction. Habitat destruction, pollution, poaching and invasive species are factors that threaten many animal species in many cases even more than climate change,” he added.8.

37、 websites.By using artificial intelligence, companies have the potential to make business more efficient and profitable. But ultimately, the value of artificial intelligence isnt in the systems themselves but in how companies use those systems to assist humans and their ability to explain what those

38、 systems do in a way that builds and earns trust.Since they are so new, we have yet to see the long-tail effect of AI models. This means there are some risks involved in using them some known and some unknown.The outputs AI models produce may often sound extremely convincing. This is by design. But

39、sometimes the information they generate is just plain wrong. Worse, sometimes its biased, because its built on the gender, racial, and various other limitations of the internet and society more generally. And it can even be operated to enable immoral or criminal activity.These risks can be reduced,

40、however, in a few ways. For one, its crucial to carefully select the initial data used to tarin these models to avoid including toxic (中毒的) or incorrect content. Next, rather than operating an off-the-shelf generative-AI model, organizations could consider using smaller, specialized models. Organiza

41、tions with more resources could also customize a general model based on their own data to fit their needs and minimize shortcoming. Organizations should also keep a human in the process make sure a real human checks the output of a generative-AI model before it is published or used, and avoid using

42、generative-AI models for critical decisions, such as those involving significant resources or human welfare.12. What can we learn about AI from the first two paragraphs?A.
