Artificial intelligence fairy dust is being sprinkled liberally right now. But bluster, hype and unprofitable business models may only get you so far. Although there is little mention of the word “mathematics” among all this, eventually you have to face up to the numbers.
眼下，人工智能(AI)的魔力被大加吹捧。但是夸夸其谈、炒作以及不盈利的商业模式并非长久之计。尽管这一切喧嚣中，“数学”这个词鲜少被人提起，但是你终归还是得面对数字。
Governments, industry and the markets have largely overlooked the foundation stone of mathematics in all the frankly crazy amounts of money flowing into these technologies. It’s beyond time for the mathematical community to be recognised as the crucial ingredient in deriving genuine value and advantage from this sector.
政府、行业和市场大体上都忽视了资金正在疯狂涌入的AI技术领域中的数学这块基石。在从该行业中获取真正的价值与优势方面，数学界作为关键一环的地位早该得到承认。
