In 2011, Americas Favorite Quiz Show held a

22、 competition between two men and an IBM computer named “Watson”. IBM describes Watson as “a technology that understands all forms of data and also reasons and learns.” Both men thought they could beat Watson.

23、.ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MADE SIMPLEArtificial Intelligence generally refers to machines with human-like intelligence, such as problem-solving and learning.

25、n the computer could be considered as AI.A simple example of AI is Apples Siri. Ask Siri to do anything, from calling a friend to booking a dinner table, and Siri can do them.

28、 likely happen in the near future.Have we come to the time when computers and AI have caught up to human beings? Although computers have the ability to make our life better, is it possible that they may control and destroy human beings in the end?WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDSIt seems pretty clear that in th

29、e future, were going to see a human-machine hybrid. Humans will be stronger, live longer and be smarter. Ray Kurzweil, a computer scientist, believes that within 50 years, the humans on Earth will be about 50 to 80% robotic. There is no question that AI will be a part of every technology that humans

30、 create. Will it turn out be more of a benefit to humankind or will it be a risk and threaten（威脅到） humanity as we know it?
