The intuitive system at Amazon Fresh and Amazon Go stores allows customers to simply pick up an item and leave without traditional checkout. This system, called “Just Walk Out,” uses sensors and artificial intelligence (AI) to calculate purchases, and customers are automatically billed. 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.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察空格前的名詞「這項實踐/作法 (a practice)」與後方的名稱「AI 洗白 (AI washing)」之間的邏輯關係。這項「作法」是主動去幫別人取名字，還是它本身「被賦予」了這個名稱呢？當我們要用一個動詞來形容名詞「被如何對待」時，通常會使用什麼樣的動詞形式？

分詞後置修飾的運用
太棒了！你能精準判斷出這裡需要使用過去分詞，代表你對英文句構中的「修飾語」有很敏銳的觀察力。在這一句中，"a practice"（一種作法）是受修飾的名詞，而動詞 dub 的意思是「將……稱為」或「給……起綽號」。由於「作法」本身是被人類稱為 "AI washing"，兩者之間存在著被動關係，因此我們將形容詞子句 "which is dubbed" 簡化，省略 "which is" 後僅保留過去分詞（p.p.）dubbed 來進行後置修飾。
