News that the Dutch book publishing house Veen Bosch & Keuning has confirmed plans to experiment with AI to translate fiction has caused a fierce debate. Across every new technology, debates center on what we stand to lose by embracing change and, with AI, this echoes (与……相呼应) the developments in the recent history of genetic science. But somehow, when we interfere with culture and human history, it can seem that something even more fundamental than DNA is under threat.Fiction translation has traditionally been the domain of skilled human translators. Using AI in this field could break up humanity's most remarkable and perhaps irreplaceable achievement: the ability to express complex human thoughts through words.Language, especially in literature, isn't just about words. It's about cultural context, and the distinct voice of the writer. Only a human who understands both languages and cultures can accurately translate the heart of a story. Yet machine learning has made extraordinary strides (进展) in understanding language, best evidenced by the latest version of Chat GPT. We seem to be at a point in the development of AI where its capabilities of using language almost match humans' in a wide range of circumstances, from customer service chatbots to health testing tools.Learning every language to read every book is, of course, impractical. But not understanding a particular language can prevent us from discovering great works of native literature that may never be translated into our own languages. Thus, we might advance a social justice argument for using Al translation to widely gain insights from many cultures and their varied languages.Of course, the rise of AI in translation has its downsides. If AI replaces human translators, we risk losing their insights and the cultural understanding they bring But we can use AI to help human translators. Translators could be involved in improving AI models, ensuring higher accuracy and quality, and selecting works to be translated. Imagine. a world where translators and AI work together,   pushing the boundaries of what can be accomplished. This would give us access to more global literature, enhancing our collective understanding of diverse cultures. （1） Why does the author mention the developments in recent genetic science? A .
