1、​​​​​​​The 2024 Paris Olympic Games used a wide variety of technological advancements, including AI, to offer industry-first innovations at one of the world's biggest sporting events. Thomas Bach, the president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), emphasized the importance of AI's role in the Games, as it was used to create "highlight videos in multiple formats and languages during these Games". AI was also used to make the Olympic Games more sustainable, "through a very developed first-ever data capture and energy management system".

Chinese tech companies employed their cutting-edge cloud computing and AI tools to improve live broadcast experiences and athletes' performances at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. As part of the opening ceremony, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra smartphone was equipped on each country's athletes on the Seine River. This allowed for extended onboard footage to be shared via an exclusive 5G network powered by Orange.

The IOC released an AI-powered monitoring system to protect athletes from online abuse (辱骂). The technology made use of AI to monitor social media accounts and flag abusive messages for further action by the relevant platforms. Athletes were able to try out an all-new chat service, which had been developed in partnership with Intel, on the Athlete365 platform.

AI has been used to monitor energy consumption in real-time. I lario Coma, chief technology officer at the IOC, emphasized the innovative approach they were taking for event planning. "We are now working with our digital partner Intel using the concept of digital twins, or digital representations of venues, so we can foresee, for example, where we would need power, where we would need to place cameras, and if there could be any security issues — all without needing to be on-site every time."

AI technology also impacted internal workflows, systems viewing experiences, and storytelling at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Intel introduced AI experiences that transform the Olympic experience for fans, organizers, CEO athletes, and viewers globally. Yiannis Exarchos, CEO of OBS, highlighted the cooperation with Alibaba to provide multi-camera replay systems with AI-powered motion reconstruction, creating 3D models and mapping additional viewpoints across 21 sports.

2、​​​​​​​A recent study has found that food has a lot to do with comfort in a new city. In a new city, there's an emotional cost to the food. You may miss your favorite restaurant or your family's home cooking. But, on the other hand, you may love the new eateries you get to discover. People who were satisfied with their cultural neighborhood said they experienced new food more than anything else. In other words, the difference between adapting and not adapting to a cultural neighborhood may just be some new food.

Food wasn't the only thing that influenced comfort in a new place. Knowing a city or a neighborhood well enough to travel without directions also strongly correlated with people's ability to adjust. Respondents who felt comfortable in their new location took just 2.8 months, on average, to move around without directions, compared with the 3.7 months it took people who didn't feel comfortable. This difference could represent anything from fewer frustrations to a greater sense of mobility, and even security.

There might be a reason why those who moved for work were so likely to be satisfied, and that reason is friendship. Work was the No. I way people made friends in a new city, helping 35.2% of respondents get to know people. Experts will tell you that making friends at work is not only important for your personal happiness but also a key for career success. So, whether you're moving to a new city or not, be a friendly co-worker.

After a person moves to a new place, they may jokingly refer to the many local habits and phrases they've picked up, yet moving truly does bring its own host of changes in a person. Most commonly, that change is new interests, which is cited by 30.9% of respondents who have moved. New food preferences are also enjoyed for 27.7% of respondents. Fortunately, only 7.5% pretend to pick up a new accent (口音), which, research shows, is physically impossible after the age of 12.

3、Fang Jianze, a student of today's Zhuhai College of Science and Technology, was diagnosed (诊断) with a rare disease at the. age of three, leaving his legs almost useless.

Up until he met his university professor, Fang Jianze always believed he would never be able to do anything on his own. In January 2020, when he put on his first diving suit and began his training, he found himself in a pool of emotions.

In order to build up his physical strength, Fang began riding his bike 5 km every day, covering more than 600 km in half a year. To overcome his fear at water, he fully immersed (沉浸) himself in it in both a mental and physical way. Due to the weakness in his upper arms, he had to rely on his body and legs to keep him afloat.

On August 19th,2020, Fang Jianze got the world's 2075th Disabled Divers Certification, and became China's first certified diver with muscle disease.

Since becoming an accomplished diver, Fang sees the world from an entirely new point of view. Now, he has the confidence and ability to help others overcome their own doubts and fears. In 2020 alone, he helped to upgrade more than 20 facilities (设施) for people with disabilities in various ways in Guangzhou.

Nowadays, most parts of the world have accepted the idea of making things accessible for everyone. Everyone can benefit from a barrier-free environment. By accommodating each other's differences, perhaps we can find a way in which to live together happily, so that no barrier, physical or mental, can impede someone from going after their dreams.
