The world is filled with movies about technology, but none of them could have been created without AI (Artificial Intelligence人工智能). It seems AI is everywhere and makes our life more interesting.
Chongqing is quickly becoming a leader in Artificial Intelligence. People can spend several days experiencing the latest and greatest AI toys at the Smart China Expo(智博会) . Chongqing people are most proud of the Smart China Expo in Chongqing in 2018. For example Lijia wisdom garden in Chongqing is a place where people can deeply experience
artificial intelligence. There are driverless cars for adults, robot dogs to entertain children, and music robots that sing songs with teenagers. In 2019, Chongqing Gaoxin District has started building the city's largest three-dimensional( 立体的) parking building. Everyone can park their car there very quickly.
Artificial intelligence is the new rising sun in Chongqing.
Why do I say so? First, many people come to Chongqing because of the Smart China Expo. When Chongqing has more tourists, people here can make more money. Second, AI makes people in life and work get simple and convenient experience, from carrying large bags to holding your cell phone calmly, from always doing housework at home to now waiting for the floor-sweeping robot to serve you. Everything is so fantastic.
Artificial intelligence is double-edged- sword(双刃剑). Some people always worry that it will become the boss of humans, and we may lose everything in the end. But I always have a positive mind that when humans use high technology to make a new thing, we must be smarter than it.

Chinese billionaire has said that the world’s best CEO will be a robot within the next 30 years. The 52-year-old founder of Alibaba warned that robots will bring far more pain than happiness in the next 30 years. But he added that artificial intelligence(人工智能) will finally improve our everyday lives in the future.
Ma, who is worth $28.4 billion, said that improvement in technology will make CEOs unimportant within the next 30 years.
“In 30 years, a robot will likely be on the cover of Time Magazine as the best CEO” Ma said
in a speech at an entrepreneurship(创业) meeting. He said that robots would get the world’s top jobs because they are “quicker and more rational(理性的)” than humans. He added that they would be fitter for CEOS because they won’t be influenced by their emotions, such as getting annoyed with their competitors.
