展开Many peple criticise tday's newspapers as sensatinalist, satisfying the public's abnrmal curisity.But jurnalism a century ag was just as ntrius (臭名昭著).Publishers at that time rutinely cmpeted with each ther fr wild stries that culd draw in the mst readers.Meanwhile, it was an ideal atmsphere fr a curageus reprter like Nellie Bly t spring int fame.
Bly, whse name was Elizabeth Cchran, had t wrk t make her way in the wrld.Different frm many wmen f the time, hwever, she refused t let the wrking wrld scare her away.Her first big pprtunity as a reprter came in 1885 after she wrte an angry letter denuncing the Pittsburgh Dispatch fr an article it had run criticising wmen frced t wrk utside the hme.The interested and excited editr hired Bly fr her “spirit”, and sn she was investigating the situatins f female factry wrkers.Bly cared less abut their jbs than their lives after wrk — their amusements, their mtivatins, their fears and ambitins.She prduced an article ttally different frm what ther reprters f the time were writing: persnal, thughtful, meaningful.
By 1887 Bly had a jb with the New Yrk Wrld, ne f the leader papers f the day.She quickly became famus fr undercver stries abut wmen in a mental hspital.Sn she had investigated life as a maid, a chrus girl, and even a street girl.In her bestknwn brave deeds, in 1890, Bly beat the famus “arund the wrld in 80 days” trip Jules Verne had described in his nvel.Travelling by steamship, train, even ricksha, Bly reprted frm each stp.A spellbund natin hung n every wrd.Only 25, Bly had becme internatinally famus.

Ggle's Alpha G defeated the Suth Krean G grandmaster Lee Sedl fur games t ne.Artificial intelligence had suddenly reached a new and unexpected height.
But Alpha G is n lnger the best G “player” in the wrld.Ggle's artificial intelligence grup, Deep Mind, has created the next generatin f its Gplaying prgramme, called Alpha G Zer.The new AI prgramme is unique in the way it learned t play G.Instead f learning frm human matches, as its predecessr (前任) did, Alpha G Zer mastered G in just tw days withut any human knwledge f the game and defeated Alpha G by day three, reprted The Guardian.It then went n t defeat Alpha G 100 games t zer.
T learn hw t play G, Alpha G Zer played millins f matches against itself using nly the basic rules f the game t rapidly create its wn knwledge f it.Like the previus versin, it used “reinfrcement (增强) learning t becme its wn teacher”, accrding t DeepMind's website.
“It's mre pwerful than previus appraches,” David Silver, Alpha G's lead researcher, tld The Guardian, “because by nt using human data, r human expertise in any fashin, we've remved the cnstraints (约束) f human knwledge and it is able t create knwledge itself.”
Alpha G Zer's apprach t selflearning is a significant advancement in AI that culd be applied t help slve sme f the wrld's biggest prblems, accrding t a recent research reprt published in the jurnal Nature.Fr example,Deep Mind cfunder Demis Hassabis argues that Alpha G Zer culd prbably find cures fr a number f serius diseases within weeks, accrding t The Telegraph.Indeed, the AI is nw being used t study prtein flding, which is cnnected t diseases such as Parkinsn's and Alzheimer's.
S nw that AI has surpassed human beings in sme ways, perhaps the questin is nt abut what AI can learn frm humans, but what humans can learn frm AI.We can nly wait and see.
