Alex is reading a book about AI, artificial intelligence (人工智能). He finds the book a little difficult but very interesting. Though the word AI is very popular now, he enjoys reading it very much. He has learned a new idea about AI from the book.
When people ask AI a question, it answers the question in a very short time. So, people may feel that AI can think and answer questions as human beings do. Before Alex read this book, he believed this, too. However, this book says it will never happen. Actually, AI only uses a lot of information to get the best answer, So, when it has more information, the answer will be much closer to the perfect one. AI technologies will be cleverer tools for human beings to use. This book also saysalmost half of our jobs will be done by AI technologiesin the near future. People will soon find more AI technologies in our lives, such as checking the tickets, the price, people's faces and fingers.
So, we believe that we will have much happier lives with these AI technologies around us.
