AI-MATHS is trying to get into college. Unbeknownst to students sitting for China's grueling college entrance exams, a robot was vying for a spot in one of the country's most prestigious universities. But it doesn't pose much threat yet. Called AI-MATHS, the robot completed one version of a two-hour Maths paper in 22 minutes and scored 105 points out of the maximum score of 150, reports the state-run Xinhua. AI-MATHS scored 100 points in another version of the paper which it completed in 10 minutes.

A smart machine made by a company in Chengdu, Sichuan province, took the math test of the national college entrance examination, or gaokao, on Wednesday. AI-MATHS finished the paper version of the test for liberal arts students in Beijing with a score of 105. A full score was 150. "The score is satisfactory," said Lin Hui, CEO of Zhunxingyunxue Technology of Chengdu, which developed the machine. AI-MATHS is an artificial intelligence program developed in 2014, based on cutting-edge big data technology, artificial intelligence and natural language recognition from Tsinghua University.
