Artificial Intelligence
Predicting the future isn’t easy. In 1943, Thomas Watson, chairman (1) _of_ the company IBM, said , “I think there’s a world market for about five computers.” Even in the 1970s, many experts (2)__were_ saying, “Nobody will want a computer in their home.” But today, computer technology is everywhere.
“You (3)_already_ have several computers in your kitchen, “ says Dr Rodney Brooks of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, pointing to the computer chips in our coffee makers, fridges, washing (4)_machines_ and ovens. It’s almost impossible to imagine a world (5) _without_ computers.
Dr Brooks is director of MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. He says that computers are not (6)_only_ becoming more common, they’re (7) _getting_ smarter too. They’re starting to think.
Scientists at AI Research are developing their own thinking robot, (8) _called_ Hal. Child expert Anat Treister Goren is teaching Hal to speak. She talks to him and reads (9) _him_ children’s stories. Baby Hal is growing up fast, and his language level is improving quickly. Soon, if (10) _you_ speak to him, you might even think he’s human!
AI experts (11) _are_ optimistic. They hope that, (12) _one_ day, intelligent machines will be all around us. Perhaps everyone will have a Hal - their own personal assistant. If you’ve got a question, Hal will know the (13) _answer_ . If you want to go on a trip, Hal will be able to (14) _make_ all the arrangements. He’ll never get tired, he’ll never be ill and he’ll never (15) _get_ angry. The technology is almost here. Think about it. Wouldn’t you like to (16) _have_ your own “Hal”?
