2001 год: Космическая одиссея: HAL 9000

Good evening. Three weeks ago the American spacecraft Discovery I left on its half-billion mile voyage to Jupiter. This marked the first manned attempt to reach this

Earlier this afternoon, The World Tonight recorded an interview with the crew of Discovery at a distance of eighty million miles from earth. It took

seven minutes for our words to reach the giant spacecraft, but this time delay has been edited from this recording. Our reporter Martin Amon speaks to the crew.

The crew of Discovery I consists of five men and one of the latest generation of the H.A.L. 9000 computers. Three of the five men were put aboard asleep or, to be more

Marvellous. Have no…. We have no complaints.

Well, I'm very glad to hear that. And I'm sure that the entire world would join me in wishing you a safe and successful voyage.

Thanks very much.

Thank you.

Although hibernation has been used on previous space efforts, this is the first time that men have been put into hibernation before departure. Why was this done?

Well, this was done in order to achieve the maximum conservation of our life-support capabilities - basically food and air. Now the three hibernating crew members represent

Dr. Poole, what's it like while you're in hibernation?

ˈdɑktər. pul, wəts ɪt laɪk waɪl jʊr ɪn ˌhaɪbərˈneɪʃən?

Well, it's exactly like being asleep: you have absolutely no sense of time. The only difference is that you don't dream.

wɛl, ɪts ɪgˈzæktli laɪk biɪŋ əsˈlip: ju hæv ˌæbsəˈlutli noʊ sɛns əv taɪm. ðə ˈoʊnli ˈdɪfərəns ɪz ðət ju doʊnt drim.

As I understand it, you only breathe once a minute. Is this true?

ɛz aɪ ˌəndərˈstænd ɪt, ju ˈoʊnli brið wəns ə ˈmɪnət. ɪz ðɪs tru?

Well, that's right. And the heart beats three times a minute. Body temperature is usually down to about three degrees centigrade.

The sixth member of the Discovery crew was not concerned about the problems of hibernation. For he was the latest result in machine intelligence: the H.A.L. 9000 computer,

ðə sɪksθ ˈmɛmbər əv ðə ˌdɪˈskəvri kru wɑz nɑt kənˈsərnd əˈbaʊt ðə ˈprɑbləmz əv ˌhaɪbərˈneɪʃən. fər hi wɑz ðə ˈleɪtəst rɪˈzəlt ɪn məˈʃin ˌɪnˈtɛləʤəns: ðə h.a.l. 9000 kəmˈpjutər,

which can reproduce - though some experts still prefer to use the word mimic - most of the activities of the human brain and with incalculably greater speed and reliability.

We next spoke with the H.A.L 9000 computer, whom we learned one addresses as HAL.

wi nɛkst spoʊk wɪθ ðə h.a.l 9000 kəmˈpjutər, hum wi ˈlərnɪd wən ˈæˈdrɛsɪz ɛz hæl.

Good afternoon, HAL. How's everything going?

gʊd ˌæftərˈnun, hæl. haʊz ˈɛvriˌθɪŋ goʊɪŋ?

Good afternoon, Mr. Amor. Everything is going extremely well.

gʊd ˌæftərˈnun, ˈmɪstər. ˈæmər. ˈɛvriˌθɪŋ ɪz goʊɪŋ ɪkˈstrimli wɛl.

HAL, you have an enormous responsibility on this mission. In many ways, perhaps the greatest responsibility of any single mission element. You are the brain and central

nervous system of the ship. And your responsibilities include watching over the men in hibernation. Does this ever cause you any lack of confidence?

Let me put it this way, Mr. Amor. The 9000 series is the most reliable computer ever made. No 9000 computer has ever made a mistake or distorted information. We are all,

by any practical definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of error.

Dr. Poole, what's it like living for the better part of a year in such close proximity with HAL?

ˈdɑktər. pul, wəts ɪt laɪk ˈlɪvɪŋ fər ðə ˈbɛtər pɑrt əv ə jɪr ɪn səʧ kloʊz prɑkˈsɪməti wɪθ hæl?

Well, it's pretty close to what you said about him earlier. He is just like a sixth member of the crew … very quickly get adjusted to the idea that he talks and you think

wɛl, ɪts ˈprɪti kloʊz tɪ wət ju sɛd əˈbaʊt ɪm ˈərliər. hi ɪz ʤɪst laɪk ə sɪksθ ˈmɛmbər əv ðə kru … ˈvɛri kˈwɪkli gɪt əˈʤəstɪd tɪ ðə aɪˈdiə ðət hi tɔks ənd ju θɪŋk

of him really just as another person.

əv ɪm ˈrɪli ʤɪst ɛz əˈnəðər ˈpərsən.

In talking to the computer one gets the sense that he is capable of emotional responses. For example, when I asked him about his abilities, I sensed a certain pride in his

ɪn ˈtɔkɪŋ tɪ ðə kəmˈpjutər wən gɪts ðə sɛns ðət hi ɪz ˈkeɪpəbəl əv ˈiˌmoʊʃənəl rɪˈspɑnsɪz. fər ɪgˈzæmpəl, wɪn aɪ æst ɪm əˈbaʊt hɪz əˈbɪləˌtiz, aɪ sɛnst ə ˈsərtən praɪd ɪn hɪz

answer about his accuracy and perfection. Do you believe that HAL has genuine emotions?

ˈænsər əˈbaʊt hɪz ˈækjərəsi ənd pərˈfɛkʃən. du ju bɪˈliv ðət hæl həz ˈʤɛnjuˌaɪn ˈɪˌmoʊʃənz?

Well, he acts like he has genuine emotions. Of course he's programmed that way to make it easier for us to talk to him. But as to whether or not he has real feelings is

wɛl, hi ækts laɪk hi həz ˈʤɛnjuˌaɪn ˈɪˌmoʊʃənz. əv kɔrs hiz ˈproʊˌgræmd ðət weɪ tɪ meɪk ɪt ˈiziər fər ˈjuˈɛs tɪ tɔk tɪ ɪm. bət ɛz tɪ ˈwɛðər ər nɑt hi həz ril ˈfilɪŋz ɪz

something I don't think anyone can truthfully answer.
