For as long as humans have appeared, we have been the smartest species(物种) on Earth. Monkeys know how to use simple tools. Elephants can be taught how to count. But things like art, literature, the Internet, and space travel have only been made possible by the amazing intelligence(智力) of humans. And yet, there are some who believe that we can create machines that can think and feel just like we do. Artificial intelligence, or AI, is defined (定义) by Merriam - Webster as"the ability of a machine to copy intelligent human behaviour".
AI is around us every day. From Apple's voice-activated assistant Siri to the software algorithms(算法) that shipping companies use to deal with deliveries,AI is very much a part of our lives.
But why do we try hard to create machines that can think the way we do? AI can make our lives much easier. Imagine being able to be in a car, tell it the place and sit back in comfort as the AI - guided self- driving car takes you there. We' re already getting there—— Changsha became the first city in China to roll out self - driving taxis in April
2020. Moreover, AI can control lighting, temperature, and security systems, making homes more comfortable and energy - saving.
However, there are risks (风险) . What if we somehow produced an artificial intelligence that was smarter than us? Would they control us? Would they take away our jobs? These are difficult questions that AI researchers ask themselves all the time.
Except for the risks, it has been already clear that Al is here to stay. Only time will tell if it will lead us into a new age of prosperity(繁荣) , or be our end.
