Imagine waking up one morning with the option of staying in bed and pressing a button to send a robot to do all the work for you. How cool that would be! It may seem like building castles in the air, but given the rate at which artificial intelligence, or AI, is being developed, in the future such dreams may actually come true. 想象一下，某天早上醒来，你选择躺在床上，下一个按钮，让机器人来为你做所有的工作。那该多酷啊!这看上去可能像建造空中楼一样(不切实际)，但是考虑到目前人工智能(AI)的发展速度，将来这样的梦想很可能会真的实现。 At the basic level, artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science that aims to develop intelligent machines. One of the essential aims of AI is to develop computer intelligence capable of learning from experience, adjusting to new inputs and performing tasks like humans. To achieve this aim, many approaches to creating true AI have been put forward, including “deep learning”, which enables a machine to improve its own performance by learning from the results of its previous actions. Deep-learning AI has the capacity to analyse massive amounts of data through multiple layers, imitating the complex networks of the human brain. 基本上，人工智能是计算机科学的一个分支，旨在开发智能机器。人工智能基本的目标之一是开发计算机智能，它能够从经验中学习适应新输入的信息并像人类一样执行任务。为了实现这一目标，人们提出了许多创建真正的人工智能的方法，包括“深度学习”，这种方法可以让机器通过学习先前行为的结果来提高自身的性能。深度学习人工智能能够通过多层分析大量数据，模拟人类大脑的复杂网络。 The dream of AI has been around for centuries, and the development of computers since the 1940s has finally made it a reality. Years before the term “artificial intelligence” was coined in the mid-1950s, the theory had been explored by Alan Turing, one of the pioneers in the field of computer science. However, for a long time, AI technology developed very slowly. A major breakthrough in AI came in 1997, when Deep Blue, a chess-playing computer, beat the world chess champion Garry Kasparov. Then in 2017, a computer program named AlphaGo defeated Ke Jie, arguably the best human Go player, which demonstr
