10、ited States Congress is responsible for making and approving federal lawsrules that everyone in the country must follow. But exactly how do those laws get made?

12、s committee members seek more information about the proposal by holding hearings. Sometimes the committee changes the bill. Sometimes it decides not to take any action.

19、 sports teams and fished in the nearby river.

26、f Southern Californias (USC) Clinical Science Center in Los Angeles. He is part of a team of scientists who are researching how AI and machine learning can more easily recognize cancerous growths in the breast. Rawat provides information about cancer cells to a computer. He says this data helps the
27、machine learn. “. . . You can put the data into computers and they will learn the patterns and the pattern recognition is important to making decisions.”David Agus is another USC researcher. He says machines are not going to take the place of doctors. “Computers will not treat patients, but they wil
28、l help make certain decisions and look for things that the human brain cant recognize by itself. Once a confirmed cancerous growth is removed, doctors still have to treat the patient to reduce the risk of cancer returning. The form of treatment depends on the kind of cancer.”Currently, researchers t
29、ake a thin piece of tissue, put it on a small piece of glass and add color to better see the cells. That process could take days or even longer. Scientists say artificial intelligence can do something better than just count cells. Through machine learning, it can recognize complex patterns, or struc

The hope is that machines will soon be able to make a quick identification of cancer that is free of human mistakes. “All of a sudden, we have the computing power to really do it in real time. . . We couldnt have done this, we didnt have the computing po

37、, was created by software developed by the French art group Obvious. Laugero-Lasserre, an art collector, called the work grotesque and amazing at the same time.

Together, they “fed” the AI a huge collection of paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries, until it was able to work ou
