1
Picture this, a machine that could organize your cupboard just as you like it, or serve every member of the house a customized cup of coffee.
2
Makes your day easier, doesn't it?
3
These are the products of artificial intelligence.
4
But why use the term artificial intelligence?
5
Well, these machines are artificially incorporated with human -like intelligence to perform tasks as we do.
6
This intelligence is built using complex algorithms and mathematical functions.
7
But AI may not be as obvious as in the previous examples.
8
In fact, AI is used in smartphones, cars, social media feeds, video games,
9
banking, surveillance, and many other aspects of our daily life.
10
The real question is, what does an AI do at its core?
11
Here is a robot we built in our lab, which is now dropped onto a field.
12
In spite of a variation in lighting, landscape, and dimensions of the field, the AI robot must perform as expected.
13
This ability to react appropriately to a new situation is called generalized learning.
14
The robot is now at a crossroad, one that is paved and the other rocky.
15
The robot must determine which path to take based on the circumstances.
16
This portrays the robot's reasoning ability.
17
After a short stroll, the robot now encounters a stream that it cannot swim across.
18
Using the plank provided as an input, the robot is able to cross this stream.
19
So, our robot uses the given input and finds the solution for a problem.
20
This is problem solving.
21
These three capabilities make the robot artificially intelligent.
22
In short, AI provides machines with the capability to adapt, reason, and provide solutions.
23
Well, now that we know what AI is, let's have a look at the two broad categories an AI is classified into.
24
Weak AI, also called narrow AI, focuses solely on one task.
25
For example, AlphaGo is a maestro of the game
26
Go, but you can't expect it to be even remotely good at chess.
27
This makes AlphaGo a weak AI.
28
You might say Alexa is definitely not a weak AI, since it can perform multiple tasks.
29
Well, that's not really true.
30
When you ask Alexa to play Despacito, it picks up the key words play and despacito, and runs a program it is trained to.
31
Alexa cannot respond to a question it isn't trained to answer.
32
For instance, try asking Alexa the status of traffic from work to home.
33
Alexa cannot provide you this information, as she is not trained to.
34
And that brings us to our second category of AI, Strong AI.
35
Now, this is much like the robots that only exist in fiction as of now.
36
Ultron from Avengers is an ideal example of a strong AI.
37
That's because it's self -aware and eventually even develops emotions.
38
This makes the AI's response unpredictable.
39
You must be wondering, well, how is artificial intelligence different from machine learning and deep learning?
40
We saw what AI is.
41
Machine learning is a technique to achieve AI and deep learning, in turn, is a subset of machine learning.
42
Machine learning provides a machine with the capability to learn from data and experience through algorithms.
43
Deep learning does this learning through ways inspired by the human brain.
44
This means through deep learning, data and patterns can be better perceived.
45
Ray Kurzweil, a well -known futurist, predicts that by the year 2045, we would have robots as smart as humans.
46
This is called the point of singularity.
47
Well, that's not all.
48
In fact, Elon Musk predicts that the human mind and body will be enhanced by AI implants, which would make us partly cyborgs.
49
So, here's a question for you.
50
Which of the below AI projects don't exist yet?
51
A. An AI robot with citizenship.
52
B. A robot with a muscular skeletal system.
53
C. AI that can read its owner's emotions.
54
D. AI that develops emotions over time
55
Give it a thought and leave your answers in the comment section below.
56
Three lucky winners will receive Amazon gift vouchers.
57
Since the human brain is still a mystery, it's no surprise that AI too has a lot of unventured domains.
58
For now, AI is built to work with humans and make our tasks easier.
59
However, with the maturation of technology, we can only wait and watch what the future of AI holds for us.
60
Well, that is artificial intelligence for you in short.

需要注意的发音

说话人用了 4 次缩略和弱读形式,例如 can't, doesn't, don't。请按听到的简短形式来说。

  • “th” 音: algorithm /ˈælɡəɹɪðm̩/, mathematical /ˌmæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪ.kəl/
  • “sh” 和 “zh” 音: artificial /ˌɑː.tɪˈfɪʃ.əl/, emotion /ɪˈməʊ.ʃən/, fiction /ˈfɪkʃən/, citizenship /ˈsɪtɪzənʃɪp/, variation /ˌvɛəɹiˈeɪʃn̩/
  • 长单词——注意重音位置: artificial /ˌɑː.tɪˈfɪʃ.əl/, capability /ˌkeɪ.pəˈbɪl.ɪ.ti/, intelligent /ɪnˈtɛlɪd͡ʒənt/, citizenship /ˈsɪtɪzənʃɪp/, mathematical /ˌmæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪ.kəl/

中文母语者容易读错的音:

  • /v/ — 不要读成 /w/,上齿轻触下唇: solve /sɒlv/, surveillance /sɚˈveɪ.ləns/, variation /ˌvɛəɹiˈeɪʃn̩/, perceive /pɚˈsiv/, pave /peɪv/
  • 词尾辅音 — 要读清楚,后面不要加元音: robot /ˈɹoʊ.bɑt/, input /ˈɪnpʊt/, predict /pɹɪˈdɪkt/, technique /tɛkˈniːk/, solve /sɒlv/

如何用这段视频练习

  1. 先完整听一遍视频,不要开口,记下不认识的单词。
  2. 用正常速度逐句跟读,每句重复到你的节奏与说话人一致为止。
  3. 录下自己的声音并与原声对比,特别注意 robot, artificial, emotion 这类单词。

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
