Li Shuangying said her 18yearold son， who just took this year's college entrance exam， would become a professional in the artificial intelligence (AI) field.
Artificial intelligence is the branch of computer science concerned with making computers behave like humans. The requirement for AI talents is a solid foundation of maths and English， so for senior high graduates， they should have a higher mathematical thinking ability and have a good command of English if they want to become professionals in AI.
Li Shuangying said her son always has been one of the top students in his class at one of the leading high schools in Zhongshan， Guangdong province. Zhongshan， which neighbors Guangzhou， has been one of China's pioneering cities in embracing reform and opening up. It flourished(繁荣) on laborintensive industries， but recent rising labor shortages and costs have become a real threat. In response， local manufacturers(制造商) have been quick to embrace automation(自动化)and adopt AIassisted robots for survival.
The company Li works for， a mediumsized home appliance manufacturer with annual output of about 1 billion yuan($150 million)， is no exception. Li said she used to bring her son to her workplace from time to time， and he has developed a strong interest in AI， automation and robots.
“Our family all agree that AI is the trend， and it holds great potential for future development，” Li said. That view is shared by many college students and their parents， who consider AI a desirable major.

Educating girls quite possibly harvests a higher rate of return than any other investment available in the developing world. Women's education may be an unusual economical field， but increasing women's contribution to development is actually as much an economic issue as a social one. And economics， with its focus on encouragement， provides an explanation for why so many girls are rid of an education.
Parents in lowincome countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family： girls grow up only to marry into somebody else's family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school—the prophecy(观念)becomes selffulfilling， trapping women in a vicious(恶性的) circle of neglect.
An educated mother， on the other hand， has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children， ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls， as well as boys， will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle.
Few will argue that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economic advantages as well. Most obviously， there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 percent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investment， but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant effect on health practices， including family planning.
