Computer scientist, John McCarthy coined the term “artificial intelligence”.
Shakey, the first mobile robot able to make decisions according to reason, was completed.
The Electrolux Trilobite, the first robotic vacuum cleaner designed for home use, went on sale.
AlphaGo became the first computer program to beat a human professional Go player.
2017 AlphaGo Zero beat the previous version of AlphaGo by 100 games to nil.
1 What can you learn from the timeline
From the timeline, we can learn that AI technology has developed greatly, and can now outperform humans in some aspects.
Milestones in Artificial Intelligence (AI)
1.Why is Professor Stephen Hawking mentioned in the beginning
A. To use the celebrity effect.
B. To attract the readers.
C. To lead to the topic.
D. To impress the readers.

1 What did Stephen Hawking mean when he said that AI will be “either the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity”
He meant that AI could bring us incredible benefits, but only if the technology is managed properly. If we do not manage the technology properly, it could result in human extinction.
In the words of Professor Stephen Hawking, artificial intelligence will be “either the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity”. Technology of Tomorrow Forum wants to hear your thoughts on AI. Is it our greatest human ______________(achieve) so far Or is it the biggest threat ____ our existence

We all need to learn to live with AI technology whether we like it or are concerned about it. We cannot stop the march of progress.
I admit that more advanced AI could be helpful in solving the world’s problems, but there is a high level of risk involved.
I can’t understand why some people worry so much. I hope more breakthroughs in AI will be made soon, so that we can enjoy more and more convenience.

Why AI can make our life more convenient
MillenniumbutterflyThanks to AI, I’ve got my own super-smart personal assistant _______(build) into my phone. She always has an immediate answer for any question I put to her, and even uses my answers to learn more about my ____________(prefer). It used to feel like 50 per cent of my time was spent __________(research) new restaurants. ____________(相反), my PA only needs a few seconds to find the right place. Every recommendation she gives me is great since she can predict if I will like a particular restaurant.
