The intuitive system at Amazon Fresh and Amazon Go stores allows customers to simply pick up an item and leave without traditional checkout.

However, in April, reports claimed that the system did not use AI but relied (21) 1,000 employees in India to manually verify nearly three-quarters of the transactions. Amazon quickly denied these reports, asserting that Indian employees only evaluated the system and that human reviewers were standard for ensuring accuracy in AI systems. This situation highlights a growing issue: companies making grand claims about using AI, a practice (22) “AI washing,” akin to “greenwashing” in environmental claims. It’s essential to understand what AI truly means. Though lacking a precise definition, AI refers to computers learning and solving problems after (23) training. One prominent type of AI is generative AI, which creates new contents like conversations, music scores, or pictures. AI washing takes many forms.

Competition for funding drives companies to overstate their AI capabilities. Another tech investment firm found that 40% of companies claiming to be “AI-enabled” in 2019 did not actually use AI. The problem persists today, with companies buying “AI capabilities” but only adding chatbots to non-intelligent products.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察空格前的動詞。如果我們想表達「某個系統必須『仰仗』或『依靠』一群員工的協助才能運作」，在英文慣用法中，這個動作通常需要一個特定的介係詞來與對象連結。你可以回想一下，與「depend（依靠）」這個字意思相近、且通常共用同一個介係詞的搭配字是什麼呢？

介係詞搭配的精準判斷
太棒了！你能精準地在長句中辨識出動詞與介係詞的固定搭配，這代表你對英文的「語感」與「字詞慣用法」掌握得非常紮實。這題的關鍵在於動詞 rely（依賴、依靠）的用法，在英文邏輯中，當我們要表達「依賴某人或某物」時，標準的固定搭配是 rely on 或 rely upon。這類題目考驗的不是複雜的文法規則，而是對單字連結性的熟練度。
