Artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) is the ability of a computer program or a machine. The computer or the machine with AI can think and learn. It is also a field of study that tries to make computers “smart”. John McCarthy, a scientist, came up with the name “artificial intelligence” over 60 years ago. Many things such as learning and problem solving can be done by computers, though not in the same way as people do.

An unusual goal of Al research is to create special computer programs. They can learn, solve problems, and think logically (逻辑地). At present, AI can successfully understand human speech, recognize human faces, operate self-driving cars and compete in some game systems like playing chess. However, some people consider AI a danger to humans if it develops too quickly. A famous British scientist also was not for this kind of technology.

Math is the basic language of AI. If students are good at math, they will be more likely to become successful AI designers in the future. We need not only bright students but also average (普通的) students. As for average students, if they get enough math skills, they can also become successful Al designers. Besides, a good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for Al designing.

Scientists hope to create creative and emotional (有情感的) AI. The AI can possibly understand human feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this wide and exciting field.
