So that’s a pretty strong comment there. I said schools as we know them now, they’re obsolete. 这里会引来热烈的讨论。我是说我们所知道的学校已经过时了。 I’m not saying they’re broken. It’s quite fashionable to say that the education system’s broken. 我并不是说它们已经崩溃了。现在挺时兴说教育体系已然崩溃的。 It’s not broken. It’s...

Well, I bumped into this whole thing completely by accident. 一个偶然的机会让我想到这一切。 I used to teach people how to write computer programs in New Delhi, 14 years ago. 我从前教人写电脑程序，那是14年前在新德里的时候。 And right next to where I used to work, there was a slum. 就在我办公地点的旁边有个贫民窟。 And I used to think, how on Earth are those ...

So, take for example human emotion. 以人类的情感为例。 Right now, computers can make sense of our most basic ones, 如今，电脑能够明白我们的基本情感， like joy, sadness, anger, fear and disgust, by converting those characteristics to math. 比如开心、伤心、生气、恐惧、厌恶，把这些特征转化为数学。 But what about the more complex emotions? 那较复杂的情感呢...

But I was curious to know, what else would they do if they could do this much? 但我好奇地是，他们既已达到如此水平还能干些别的什么？ I started experimenting with other subjects, among them, for example, pronunciation. 我开始在他们中间用别的课题作实验，例如，发音。 There’s one community of children in southern India whose English pronunciation is really bad,...

So I wanted to explore how something like human intuition could be directly translated to artificial intelligence. 所以，我想探究如何将像人类直觉的东西直接地翻译给人工智能。 And I created a piece that explores computer-based intuition in a physical space. 于是我创造了一台通过现实空间探究电脑直觉的机器。 The piece is called Wayfinding, and it’s set up as a ...
The children came running in. It was three feet off the ground, and they said, “What is this?” 孩子们跑了进来。电脑离地面有3英尺，他们问：“这是什么？” And I said, “Yeah, it’s, I don’t know. So…” 我说：“唔，这是……我不知道。” They said, “Why have you put it there?” 他们问：“为什么你把它放在那儿？” I said,...
