Romania's Prime Minister has unveiled a new "honorary assistant" completely powered by artificial intelligence or AI.
近日，罗马尼亚总理向外界公布了一名完全由人工智能驱动的新“荣誉顾问”。
This computer screen is called "Ion".
这个电脑屏幕，名字叫做“艾恩”。
This artificial intelligence has been developed by researchers to quickly analyze the opinions of Romanians.
由科研人员研发的这款人工智能，可以快速分析罗马尼亚人的观点。
People will be able to chat with Ion on the project's website.
人们可以在该项目的官网上与艾恩聊天。
The AI will also search social media to figure out what the topics are that people are talking about and to carry out what's called sentiment analysis.
此外，该人工智能还可以在社交媒体上搜索，挖掘人们热议的话题，并进行所谓的情绪分析。
And that means it will analyze whether there is a positive or a negative reaction to a certain event, for example.
这意味着，艾恩可以分析出人们对某一事件的反应是积极的还是消极的。
So how exactly is this Ion AI assistant going to help the Romanian government?
那么，艾恩这个人工智能顾问，究竟会怎样协助罗马尼亚政府呢？
Well, we asked the question to Nicu Sebe, the coordinator of the research team.
我们就这个问题，向研发小组的协调员尼克·赛比进行了咨询。
"I don't expect that the Prime Minister will always do what Ion will say.
“我认为首相不会总是按照艾恩说的去做。
But it's more like a suggestion. It's more like, you know, getting the pulse in real time of the population.
它更像是给出一个建议。更像是，实时把握人口的状态。
With this type of system, we hope to reach out a large segment of the Romanian population."
通过这类的人工智能系统，我们希望能接触到罗马尼亚的大部分人口。”
