谷歌（Google）在上周五發(fā)布聲明稱，谷歌智能音箱Google Home無法回答有關(guān)耶穌的問題，引發(fā)人們的怒火，公司因此禁止該設備回答所有有關(guān)宗教人物的問題。

據(jù)CNBC報道，有用戶發(fā)現(xiàn)這款智能音箱無法回答“耶穌是誰”，卻能回答關(guān)于佛祖、穆罕默德和撒旦的類似問題，這讓他們大為光火。一些不滿的社交媒體用戶譴責谷歌“屏蔽”耶穌。

周五，谷歌搜索公共聯(lián)絡官丹尼·沙利文在推特上發(fā)布了一則聲明，對此事進行了解釋。聲明稱：“谷歌語音助手沒有回答有關(guān)‘耶穌是誰’或‘耶穌基督是誰’這樣的問題，并非因為不尊重，反而是為了保證對耶穌的尊重。語音助手的一些回答來自網(wǎng)絡，而對于某些話題而言，語音助手回答的內(nèi)容更容易受到惡意破壞和垃圾信息的影響。”

聲明中表示，在問題得到解決之前，谷歌語音助手暫時無法回答有關(guān)宗教人物的問題。

有用戶注意到谷歌語音助手無法回答“耶穌是誰。”這并非是因為不尊重，反而是為了保證對耶穌的尊重。語音助手的一些回答來自網(wǎng)絡。對于網(wǎng)絡內(nèi)容更容易受到惡意破壞或垃圾信息影響的問題，語音助手可能不會進行回答。我們的聲明全文： pic.twitter.com/7iu1D8FEEK

谷歌以前就曾因為依賴“精選摘要”而陷入麻煩。“精選摘要”是在搜索結(jié)果頁面頂部顯示的精選信息。不準確和冒犯性的信息可能進入“精選摘要”，導致谷歌的智能產(chǎn)品重復發(fā)出煽動性的言論。

周五，對“女人都是壞人嗎”這個問題，Google Home的回答令人不寒而栗。這篇文章很好地揭露了相關(guān)問題；我稍后會有更多解釋說明，請瀏覽： https://t.co/EUtrx4ZFul pic.twitter.com/Ec8mEqx8Am

Anger over Google Home’s inability to answer questions about Jesus led the company to bar the device from answering questions about all religious figures, according to a statement released last Friday.

Some users became angry when the smart speaker was unable to answer questions such as, “Who is Jesus?” but could respond to similar queries about Buddha, Muhammad and Satan, CNBC reports. Some unhappy social media users alleged that Google was “censoring” Jesus.

Danny Sullivan, Google’s public search liason, tweeted a statement by way of explanation on Friday. “The reason the Google Assistant didn’t respond with information about ‘Who is Jesus’ or ‘Who is Jesus Christ’ wasn’t out of disrespect but instead to ensure respect,” the statement reads. “Some of the Assistant’s spoken responses come from the web, and for certain topics, this content can be more vulnerable to vandalism and spam.”

Until the issue is fixed, according to the statement, all responses for questions about religious figures will be temporarily unavailable.

Google’s reliance on “featured snippets” — the pullout information that appears at the top of a page of search results — has gotten the company in hot water before. Inaccurate and offensive information can find its way into featured snippets, which has led Google’s smart products to repeat sometimes inflammatory comments.

Google Home is now responding to questions about religious figures with, “Religion can be complicated, and I am still learning,” users report.
