这个夏天人工智能（artificial intelligence，AI）满50岁了。然而尽管计算机能够打败世界上最好的国际象棋选手，我们仍然无法令一台机器像一个四岁小孩那样思考。

当“人工智能”这个词在一个达特茅斯研讨会上（Dartmouth workshop）被创造出来之时，当时的想法是用计算的方法来探索近似人的智能。但是这个词本身很快地引发了公众的想象，使得这个术语深深植根于流行文化中。当时的科学家们雄心勃勃地想要制造出一台能够通过图灵测试（Turing test）的机器，即能够长时间地与人类交谈而无法被认出是机器。图灵测试被提出的当年，艾萨克·阿西莫夫（Isaac Asimov）写出了著名的《我，机器人》，描绘了一个机器能够同人无障碍并且智能地互动的世界。

经济学上有个有趣的问题，曰：经济学节约了什么？最著名的答案是：——爱。主流经济学节约了爱，那么，经济学家也节约了爱，最连眼下话语权的最前线——经济新闻、经济评论看上去也节约了爱。

Google, the world's biggest search engine, will team up with the world's biggest censor, China, today with a service that it hopes will make it more attractive to the country's 110 million online users.

After holding out longer than any other major internet company, Google will effectively become another brick in the great firewall of China when it starts filtering out information that it believes the government will not approve of.

Despite a year of soul-searching, the American company will join Microsoft and Yahoo! in helping the communist government block access to websites containing politically sensitive content, such as references to the Tiananmen Square massacre and criticism of the politburo.

Executives have grudgingly accepted that this is the ethical price they have to pay to base servers in mainland China, which will improve the speed - and attractiveness - of their service in a country where they face strong competition from the leading mandarin search engine, Baidu.

But Google faces a backlash from free speech advocates, internet activists and politicians, some of whom are already asking how the company's policy in China accords with its mission statement: to make all possible information available to everyone who has a computer or mobile phone.

The new interface - google.cn - started at midnight last night and will be slowly phased in over the coming months. Although users will have the option of continuing to search via the original US-based google.com website, it is expected that the vast majority of Chinese search enquiries will go through mainland-based servers.

This will require the company to abide by the rules of the world's most restricted internet environment. China is thought to have 30,000 online police monitoring blogs, chatrooms and news portals. The propaganda department is thought to employ even more people, a small but increasing number of whom are paid to anonymously post pro-government comments online.
Sophisticated filters have been developed to block or limit access to "unhealthy information", which includes human rights websites, such as Amnesty, foreign news outlets, such as the BBC, as well as pornography. Of the 64 internet dissidents in prison worldwide, 54 are from China.

Google has remained outside this system until now. But its search results are still filtered and delayed by the giant banks of government servers, known as the great firewall of China. Type "Falun Gong" in the search engine from a Beijing computer and the only results that can be accessed are official condemnations.

Now, however, Google will actively assist the government to limit content.
There are technical precedents. In Germany, Google follows government orders by restricting references to sites that deny the Holocaust. In France, it obeys local rules prohibiting sites that stir up racial hatred. And in the US, it assists the authorities' crackdown on copyright infringements.

The scale of censorship in China is likely to dwarf anything the company has done before. According to one internet media insider, the main taboos are the three Ts: Tibet, Taiwan and the Tiananmen massacre, and the two Cs:
cults such as Falun Gong and criticism of the Communist party. But this list is frequently updated.

In a statement, Google said it had little choice: "To date, our search service has been offered exclusively from outside China, resulting in latency and access issues that have been unsatisfying to our Chinese users and, therefore, unacceptable to Google. With google.cn, Chinese users will ultimately receive a search service that is fast, always accessible, and helps them find information both in China and from around the world."

It acknowledged that this ran contrary to its corporate ethics, but said a greater good was served by providing information in China. "In order to operate from China, we have removed some content from the search results available on google.cn, in response to local law, regulation or policy.

PS：——hehe.These words are one part of the article<Google in China>.By the way, I saw one paper named as <Internet Filtering in China in 2004-2005>from one foreign friend today. Oh, I am so regret to see them.

毫无疑问，在这个宣布优雅假期已经来临的夜晚，我发现了一些好东西。目前，我正在一个叫pandora的小音乐台上，这个东西让我的感情充满快乐。它的基本应用是这样的，——当你点击上述绿色东东后，将看到一个外文网址，然后请在搜索栏输入你想寻找的歌曲或者演唱者（千万不要打中文，似乎无法显示），它将迅速为你找到一系列与该歌曲或歌手style相近的song，你可以由此一个个建立以其主歌曲为core的小音乐台。总之，在我遇到这个潘多拉的盒子时，我脑子第一反应是，找一找《try to remember》，于是它问我这是song name or artist name，然后我点击song name，立刻这个小音乐台告诉我已经找到style相近的无数音乐，并打成了包包，在左上方显示着——try to remember的一个音乐包。我充满感情地听着，然后又抑制不住好奇输入了另一个歌曲——where did you sleep last night。哈，my girl，my girl，don`t lie to me，where did you sleep last night....于是，在属于我的音乐台，又出现了一个以where did you sleep last night为core的新小包包。但是这个时候，突然音乐停止了，它给了我一个提示，——大意是，如果我允许它在小电台页面上出现一些广告，那么我可以继续免费收听，如果我hate广告，那么我可能要定期支付一定的费用。事实上，这个概念没有给我任何不快，我愉快地点击了继续收听。之后，它开始建议我成为注册用户，可惜的是，——输入email、密码都不成问题，它还要我输入在美国的5位区号，这下我傻了，我随便乱填了一个。目前，我正在继续愉快地一边收听按照我自己意思打包的歌曲，一边看它的各种功能。发现可以通过它进行buy this song from iTunes;buy this album from Amazon等功能，那么也就是说，除了广告、用户收费（不希望出现广告的用户）外，与苹果公司的iTunes和亚马逊网站分成也是它们的商业模式。姑且不引用田溯宁先生的“宽带救国”之说了，如同youtube一样，这个东东让我再一次发生了对互联网的感慨。其实，到底pandora是让我先选择是否要广告呢还是先让我注册的前后秩序我已经忘掉了，不过，希望大家都能美好享受。
