Artificial intelligence(AI)is the ability of a computer program or a machine to think and learn. It is also a field of study that tries to make computers “smart”. John McCarthy,a scientist,came up with the name “artificial intelligence” in 1956. Many things such as learning and problem - solving can be done by computers,though not in the same way as we do.
An unusual goal of AI research is to create computer programs that can learn,solve problems,and think logically(逻辑地). At present we use the term AI for successfully understanding human speech,recognising human faces,operating self - driving cars and competing in some games like chess.
Maths is the basic language of AI. If we raise the standard in the learning of maths,our students will be more likely to become successful AI designers in the future. We not only want bright students,but also need to attract average students and give them the maths skills which are needed to change them into AI designers. Besides,a good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for AI designing.
Some people also consider AI a danger to humans if it develops too quickly. Professor Stephen Hawking,a well - known British scientist,was not for this kind of technology. However,there are also scientists hoping to create creative and emotional AI which can possibly understand humans’ feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this fascinating field.
AI is like a powerful tool that can be both helpful and risky. It can make our lives easier and solve big problems,but we also need to be careful with the way we use it.
1. What do we know about AI from Paragraph 1?
A. All problems can be solved by AI.
B. Machines with AI can think and learn.
C. AI works in the same way as humans do.
D. AI has been around for less than 60 years.
2. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Chess.
B. The human.
C. The danger.
D. AI.
3. The following is a school report. Which student is most likely to be a successful AI designer?
A. Mike.
B. Peter.
C. Amy.
D. Cathy.
