Computers are increasingly competing against humans to see whether man or the machine is more intelligent. In the latest show of artificial intelligence or Al, a computer went up against humans in live, public debates. The debates—held in San Francisco, June, 2018—provided a new example of how computers are fast improving to think and sound more like humans. An AI system developed by major technology company IBM participated in the event. It is called Project Debater. IBM said it is the first time ever that an Al system has competed in a live, public debate with humans. Two separate debates were held between a computer and two human debaters
In one debate，IBM'S computer battled Noa Ovadia, a former national debate champion. The AI system made a case in favor of the government subsidizing( 补贴 )space research. It pulled in evidence from its huge supply of information from newspapers, journals and other sources. Ovadia took the opposite position, arguing that the government could better
serve the people by providing financial assistance to programs other than space exploration.

C
The 45-year-old was walking off Boston’s Orange Line train at Massachusetts Avenue around 5: 30 pm on Friday when she lost her footing and threw herself down the gap, giving her a deep cut that went right down to the bone. Her fellow passengers helped push the train to the side and free her, but even as she thanked them, shaking and weeping for the
pain, she begged them not to call an ambulance because it cost too much. “Do you know how much an ambulance costs?” she said. “It's $3,000. I can’t afford that”
The woman’s heartbreaking requests have caused again the debate over health care in the US, with many describing it as “barbaric” that someone should be forced to choose between life and debt.
\situation like that. My thoughts are with her, \“We need universal health care badly. An accident shouldn't force you to choose between a heavy debt and permanent injury/death
Actually, Americans spend more money on health care than any other people, and health care spending rocketed by $900 billion between 1996 and 2013. By 2013, total health care spending hit $2.1 trillion. The researchers say that the figure has now likely risen to more than $3.2 trillion, which equals 8 percent of the country’s economy. But while the spending increased, America's life expectancy has remained short --with an average of 79 years old, compared to the global average of 83 years old.
