In northern China, lots of places have few trees and dont get much rain. When there arent many trees, the ground cant keep enough water. Over th

16、e years, the ground dries up and turns to sand. When spring comes and the ice melts, the ground becomes loose. Strong winds take the loose sand into the sky. Besides, in northeast China, there lies some vast deserts.Sandstorms are bad for peoples health. If people breathe in too much sand, they will

21、ogy and how it might affect humans in the future, but the future is already here. In 2011, Americas Favorite Quiz Show held a 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 me

22、n thought they could beat Watson. Instead, the computer and its Artificial Intelligence soundly beat both of the human beings.ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MADE SIMPLEArtificial Intelligence generally refers to machines with human-like intelligence, such as problem-solving and learning. In order to be con

23、sidered AI, the computer must pass the Turing test, named after Turing, a British mathematician who worked with the first computer.In the 1950s, Turing published a paper questioning whether a computer could be used to trick humans into believing they were interacting（互動(dòng)） with an actual human being.

24、He found that if 30% of humans who interacted with a “machine”believed they were actually interacting with a human being, then 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.

25、 Siri seems almost to be a human being. When you ask, “Are you a real person?” Siri answers, “That is a really personal question.”But just because a system can behave like a human being, that does not mean it can think like humans, Or, does it?JOINING OF HUMAN & MACHINEIt seems that our devices（設(shè)備）w

26、ill turn into humans. Our phones already tell us to take an umbrella before we walk out the door. They volunteer traffic conditions so we know how long it will take to drive to work.Our devices can interact with us in a way that looks like a real conversation with another human being, like with Siri

27、. It does not seem crazy at all to think that AI may be programmed to actually think. If it has not already happened, it will 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, i

28、s it possible that they may control and destroy human beings in the end?WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDSIt seems pretty clear that in the 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

29、 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 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? If AI is programmed according to Isaac Asimovs 3 Law

30、s of Robotics, humans wont have a problem with machines; but for some, evil AI still stands in the way of a peaceful and safe life on Earth.1The story of computer Watson is mentioned here to tell us that _.Athe age of machines has comeBhumans make their own enemiesCAI has actually come into our life
