Now, though, times are good again. A spurt of progress in machine learning, a sub-field of AI, has companies piling in. The technology is being used for everything from working out how best to aim advertisements at web-surfers to how to develop self-driving cars.

An AI created by DeepMind, a British sub¬sidiary of Google, beat a human champion of the game in 2015.然而，眼下好时光又到了。人工智能的子领域—机器学习—的发展突飞猛进，各类公司纷纷涌入。从如何针对网民精准投放广告，到如何开发自动驾驶汽车，这项技术被用于各个领域。 Go（围棋）是东方讲究战略的棋类，历来计算机都很难对付。但是，2015年，由Google英国子公司DeepMind创建的Alpha Go击败了围棋的人类冠军。Alpha Go因此具有里程碑意义。

As a result, some parents, aiming to further motivate their kids to study harder, reward their kids with money if they obtain high grade. I, contrary to their behavior, strongly reckon that by no means should the money-driven approach to children's high score be considered as a wise strategy.

As with all new technologies, pitfalls accompany the promise. Hucksters will launch apps that do not work. But with regulators demanding oversight of apps that present risks to patients, users will harm only their wallets. Not everyone will want to take active control of their own health care; plenty will want the professionals to manage everything. Fine. Data can be pored over by those who are interested, while those who are not can opt to share data automatically with trusted providers.

The internet already enables patients to seek online consultations when and where it suits them. You can take over-the-counter tests to analyse your blood, sequence your genome and check on the bacteria in your gut.

Technologies such as the smartphone allow people to monitor their own health. 有了互联网，患者已经能在自己方便的时间和地点在线问诊。你可以通过非处方检测来分析血液、做基因组测序、检查肠道细菌。但要彻底变革，需要将重心从医疗保健机构转向病人，从医生转向数据。这种转变正在发生。人们可以利用智能手机等技术来监控自己的健康状况。

Driverless cars will not save the cities from either traffic or infrastructure expense.
THE most distractingly unrealistic feature of most science fiction—by some margin—is how the great soaring cities of the future never seem to struggle with traffic. Whatever dystopias lie ahead, futurists seem confident we can sort out congestion. If hope that technology will fix traffic springs eternal, history suggests something different. Transport innovation, from railways to cars, reshaped cities and drove economic advance. But it also brought crowded commutes. Now, as tech firms and carmakers aim to roll out fleets of driverless cars, it is worth asking: might this time be different? Alas, artificial intelligence (AI) is unlikely to succeed where steel rails and internal-combustion engines failed.无人驾驶汽车将无法把城市从交通或基础设施费用中拯救出来。
在大多数科幻小说中，最不切实际乃至让人出戏的一个特征，无疑就是未来那些宏伟高耸的城市似乎从来不用为堵车操心。不管人类面临着什么样的灾难，未来派似乎都对消除拥堵信心满满。如果说对技术能够解决交通问题的希望永不熄灭，历史经验却并不乐观。从铁路到汽车，交通创新重塑了城市，带动了经济发展，但也带来了拥挤的通勤。如今，既然科技公司和汽车制造商希望推出无人驾驶车队，那就值得问一问:这次会不同吗？ 唉，可惜在钢轨和内燃引擎战败之地，人工智能（AI） 也不太可能成功。
