Build a smart future
The Internet is shaping our lives. We already have online shopping services and mobile payment. However, this is just a start. The world’s leading tech companies are planning to build
smarter online communities. They discussed this at the World Internet Conference, which was held in Wuzhen. The development of artificial intelligence (AI) was a hot topic at the conference (会议). If a machine can learn and solve problems as humans do, it can be called AI. The company Alibaba uses AI technology in its unmanned supermarket in Wuzhen. There is no salesperson in the supermarkets, just a tablet (平板电脑) on a desk that says “ please smile”. If you smile, it gives you a special discount off your foods. The bigger you smile, the more discounts for your goods. Payment is done stigmatically through your Alipay account. When you first enter the supermarket, the supermarket’s AI recognizes your face and your account. There is also AI that can read lips. Sougou brought its lip-reading system to the conference. It recognizes your mouth’s movements and turns them into voice or text massagers. This could be very useful when you are trying to talk to someone on your phone in a noisy place. Police could also use the technology to help them find criminal suspects (犯罪嫌疑人) by lip－reading recordings from video camera. Another type of AI focus on understanding human emotions. Microsoft chatbox XiaoIce can not only provide useful information but also chat with people like a real friend. XiaoIce has Wehat account. After following the account, users can start talking with her. She knows when to comfort you or tell jokes. she keeps improving herself by talking with users. These technologies are being put into wilder use. We may see a smarter world and better life in the near future.
32. What did the leading technology companies do at the World Internet Conference? A. They discussed how to use AI in the supermarket.
B. They discussed how to put the now technology into use. C. They discussed how to use AI to catch criminal suspects. D. They discussed how to build smarter online communities. 33. What does “real lips” (in the fourth paragraph) mean? A. It means to read silently, with moving the lips only. B. It means to notice what is on the lips of the speakers.
C. It means to watch the movement of the lips and translate it into written words.
