(阅读判断)Since World War II, computer scientists have tried to develop techniques that would allow computers to act more like humans. The entire research effort, including decision-making systems, robotic devices, and various approaches to computer speech, is usually called artificial intelligence (AI). Most AI efforts remain in the research labs. A collection of AI techniques that enables computers to assist people in analyzing problems and making decisions, called knowledge-based expert systems, however, has recently proved its value, and numerous commercial applications are now underway. Expert systems are being developed to assist manages with complex hardware, and aid mechanics in troubleshooting locomotive problems.
As recently as 1980, expert systems research was still confined to a few university research laboratories. Today, the

(翻译)Today sees the UK launch of a range of hi-tech watches that can pay for a double-shot espresso, a newspaper or a host of other small purchases with a flick of the wrist.
They contain a chip similar to a mobile phone's SIM card that allows you to settle up by tapping the watch on a special terminal at the till.
The "watch2pay" gadgets follow the successful introduction of Quick Tap, a similar system that allows payments using mobile phones, earlier this year.
Available in eight colours, the watches cost £99 and can be used at 70,000 shops in the
Rather than debiting your bank account, they can only spend the money you have topped it up with online – and if the watch is lost or stolen, your account can be cancelled on the phone or over the web.
At first they will only be able to make payments of up to £15, but this limit may be extended depending on their popularity.
A spokesman said: "We think it will be popular because it takes out the fumble factor – you don't have to rummage through your pockets to find it."
Some experts believe that cash could become obsolete within a few years, as so-called "tap and go" technology becomes more widespread and more people use their phones to make purchases, leaving their notes and coins behind.
