Chinese Winning Artificial Intelligence War, Bots Surpass Humans in Reading Comprehension

Chinese artificial intelligence is now capable of outperforming humans in reading comprehension. A neural network model created by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba beat its flesh-and-blood competition on a 100,000-question Stanford University test that's considered the world's top measure of machine reading. The model, developed by Alibaba's Institute of Data Science of Technologies, scored 82.44, while humans scored a 82.304. Microsoft's artificial intelligence also beat humans, scoring 82.65 on the exam. But its results came in a day after Alibaba's, meaning China holds the title as first country to create automation that outranks humans in written language comprehension.
