Morning! Welcome to 霸霸新闻早读, where we read the latest news and learn English together! A couple months ago, the big story was that Google's DeepMind project had clobbered the world champion of Go in three epic rounds that raised the question: "Will AI dominate the world?". The short answer is, yes. AI is slowly making its way into our world, and one of the first frontiers is the world of gaming. Now that computers have conquered board games, they're moving on to more difficult computer games. Let's check out today's story for more details!
早上好！欢迎来到霸霸新闻早读，在这里我们会读到最近发生的新闻，并且一起学习英语！几个月前，有个大事件就是谷歌的“深度思维”项目在三个精彩对局中击败了世界围棋冠军，也给人类带来一个问题：“人工智能会统治世界吗？” 简单回答：会的。人工智能正在慢慢地用它的方法融入我们这个世界，而最先的领域就是世界游戏比赛。现在电脑已经征服了桌面棋类游戏，他们正在转移到更有难度的电脑游戏领域。让我们来看看今天的报道，了解更多细节。
▲《星际争霸2》中的AI算法演示
According to DeepMind, video games are one of the best ways to test and develop AI, with the company calling StarCraft II "the pinnacle of 1v1 competitive video games".
根据“深度思维”所说，电子游戏是用于发展人工智能的最好途径，公司还把《星际争霸2》称作是“电竞史上1对1游戏的巅峰之作”。
I've never been much of a Starcraft fan. Warcraft was always more up my alley. But this is big news. I can definitely picture that by 2020, AI robots will be competing against human players in the e-sports arena. And I can't guarantee we'll win.
虽然我从来就不是《星际争霸》系列的粉丝，《魔兽争霸》系列一直都能满足我的胃口。但是这绝对是个大新闻。我完全可以想象在2020年之际，人工智能机器人会在电子竞技赛场上和人类对抗的画面。然后我还不敢保证我们能赢。
