Announcer: You’re listening to: Top of the Topics!
有越來越多的地方使用「AI人工智慧」嘍
Now, please welcome your host, Chuck McSilver!
Chuck: Hello and welcome to another episode of Top of the Topics! The show where if you don’t know the news …
Audience: You Lose!
Chuck: Let’s meet today’s contestants: ladies and gentlemen, say hello to Lou and Ting!
Chuck: Lou, Ting, welcome to the show!
Both: Thanks Chuck!
Chuck: Ting, back again! Still nervous?
Ting: A little!
Chuck: You’ll be great! Lou, glad to have you with us!
Lou: Glad to be here, Chuck!
Chuck: Let’s go straight to Clever Corner and welcome back everyone’s favorite resident know-it-all, Sally Smartypants! Sally?
Sally: Thanks Chuck! Today’s Topic is: Artificial Intelligence!
Chuck: Okie-Kokey … Mary, Joe, I’ll give you a word, you give us a definition. First correct answer wins. Fingers on buzzers. Ready? … Word one: ‘Artificial’ Lou.
Lou: Anything man-made is artificial, especially when it copies nature. Like how a fan keeps you cool.
Chuck: A fan?
Lou: It copies the wind!
Chuck: Great! One point. Sally?
Sally: Artificial Intelligence mimics the human brain in computers. This means machines can think, learn, and adapt, and lets people invent some super-cool things: like autonomous cars and boats!
Chuck: Word two: ‘Autonomous’ Ting.
Ting: Autonomous cars drive by themselves! It’s any machine that can work without humans.
Chuck: Correct! One point each. Sally?
Sally: Famous examples of AI in history include virtual assistants like Alexa & Siri; IBM’s chess-champion supercomputer Deep Blue; and Kismet, the emotional robot!
Chuck: Word three: ‘Virtual’ Ting.
Ting: It’s all the stuff that exists online or in a program, but not in real life. Siri’s a virtual assistant because you can speak to her, and she’ll help if she can. But she isn’t real.
Chuck: You got it! 2 points, Sally?
Sally: Scientists look at the future of AI in stages. Right now we’re in stage one, where AI systems can only perform specific functions for particular tasks. The next two stages involve AI programs advancing so much they actually become smarter than humans!
Chuck: That sound means we’ve run out of time! And Ting is our winner again with two points, bravo Ting!
Ting: Thanks Chuck! Well played, Lou
Lou: Thank you Ting. Maybe a robot would’ve been harder to beat than me!
Chuck: Like the Terminator?
Lou: Oh, don’t worry Chuck. “I’ll be back” … !
