17.Who is smarter?A human being or artificial intelligence(AI,人工智能)?The whole world talked about this question when a Google-developed program called AlphaGo beat the world top player,Lee Sedol from South Korea.Computers beat humans in checkers(中国象棋)and chess.Go(围棋),a game first developed in China,is much more complex(复杂的)than those two.
Some people are worried that AI will be a bad thing for humans.UK scientist Stephen Hawking warned that the"development of full artificial intelligence could mean the end of the humans".Is that true?
In fact,now robots are coming into people's lives these days.Robots help people a lot.Japanese housekeeping robots can move chairs,sweep the floor,take away dirty dishes and put dirty clothes in washing machines.Intel,the famous computer maker,has invented a self-controlled robot called Herb.Herb can do simple things that people tell it to do,such as cleaning up waste.
Recently a large robot named"Probo"has been helping children to feel less worried in hospital.Probo,which was invented by Ivan Hermans,president of the Anty Foundation,has a touch screen on its stomach.The screen teaches children how to use Probo.The green robot's face can make expressions to show how medical operations(手术)will make the child feel."The main aim of the project is to make emotional(情感)communication with children."said Jelle Saldien,one of the researchers.
We have a long way to go before AI can truly be similar to the human brain,so there is now need to be afraid of it now.Our fate(命运)is in our own hands!What we have to do now is to make good use of the technology to improve the world.
