“But getting a computer to understand text that was intended for humans is not an easy task,” it added. Fujitsu built the world's second most powerful supercomputer up to date.If they use this it wont be a problem.

The robot’s artificial brain would analyse a mash of words, numbers, and equations Anyhow this is the beginning of the end for mathematicians and engineers, they will be jobless by 20xx.
