Artificial intelligence ：人工智能是对人的意识、思维的信息过程的模拟。人工智能不是人的智能，但能像人那样思考、也可能超过人的智能。
(AI) is intelligence exhibited by machines. In computer science, the field of AI research defines itself as the study of “intelligent agents”: any device that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of success at some goal.[1] Colloquially, the term “artificial intelligence” is applied when a machine mimics “cognitive” functions that humans associate with other human minds, such as “learning” and “problem solving”.
