Artificial intelligence will completely change the world, says expert - Business - Chinadaily.com.cn

Artificial intelligence sounds mysterious to many people, but it has been a part of our life, an expert said at the Third World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, East China's Zhejiang province, on Wednesday. The voice recognition function for mobile internet search used by Baidu, for instance, is an application of artificial intelligence, said Sun Ninghui, director of the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The tech company's "Baidu Doctor", which can simulate dialogues between a patient and a doctor, and read large amount of literature and the patient' records, is another example of how artificial intelligence is applied, he added. Besides, artificial intelligence is also used in image recognition and teaching, according to Sun. More applications such as autonomous vehicles would soon enter our life, Sun said, referring to Baidu's driverless vehicle which recently underwent road tests.
