Artificial intelligence first defeated humans in a reading comprehension test

just made a new record when beating people in the university's reading comprehension ability. Stanford, USA.

According to Futurism, artificial intelligence developed by Alibaba has successfully passed the reading comprehension test by the University. Stanford USA specifically designed to evaluate computers.

Specifically, the AI ​​won with 82.44 points while humans only reached 82,304 points. This is also the first computer to defeat people. Then one day, Microsoft AI surpassed the AI ​​of Alibaba with 82,650 points in the same test.

The above result is also synonymous, now machines can answer questions that are objective and clear like "where does rain come from".

Stanford's question and answer set consists of 10 thousand questions related to about 500 articles on Wikipedia encyclopedia. Respondents must be able to handle a large amount of information before filling in the correct answer for each question.

Stanford's test has become a standard chosen by many major technology firms such as Google, Facebook, IBM, Tencent or Samsung to evaluate AI.

Luo Si, a natural language processing scientist from Alibaba's AI research department, called the milestone a "great honor". However, Si also acknowledged, the rapid development of AI will greatly affect the workers.

Si believes that AI will gradually replace people in handling customer service, museum guides or responding to requests from patients. In particular, AI will help reduce the need for training for people.

Alibaba is famous for bringing AI to support sales for a long time. During the 11/11/2017 shopping festival, Alibaba used AI to answer a large number of customer service questions. Above all, artificial intelligence can operate at all times and replace people effectively in jobs that need constant connectivity such as consulting customers or services.

In October 2017, Alibaba announced plans to invest USD 15 billion for emerging technologies such as AI, quantum computers and IoT.

Not only Alibaba, other Chinese technology companies such as Tencent or Baidu are also ambitious to develop AI to create competitive advantage over rivals. Artificial intelligence is expected to delight in social media feeds, advertising or even support future self-driving cars.
