经过三十年艰苦的工作以后,人工智能正成熟起来,正从实验室走向市场。专家系统,即能够像人类的专家一样给出建议的计算机程序,已经能够确定矿藏位置,为病人诊断。程序已经可以做到相当灵巧地理解通俗的英语或法语。机器人不久就可以借助于计算机视觉系统,把一个物体或场面的数字化照片储存起来,还可以相当准确地“认出”照片上有些什么。 After thirty years of hard work, artificial intelligence is maturing and moving from the lab to the market. Expert systems, computer programs that give advice like human experts, have been able to determine the location of a deposit and diagnose the patient. The program can already be quite clever to understand plain English or French. Soon after, robots can use computer vision systems to store digitized photos of an object or scene and “recognize” exactly what the photos look like.
