With the rapid development of information technology, there is an increasing demand for reading scientific and technological texts in foreign-language and the requirements for technical translation are constantly escalating. Among various topics, artificial intelligence technology stands out as the most popular and has garnered widespread attention. However, at the current stage, the translation volume of books related to artificial intelligence in China is relatively low, which cannot meet the reading demands and the developmental needs of artificial intelligence.Though Reiss's text-type theory has been proposed for quite some time, its application in the translation of scientific and technological texts in China is limited. This article aims to analyze the current situation of scientific and technological text translation in China in recent years and the research status of text-type theory. The goal is to demonstrate the research value of applying text-type theory to the translation of scientific and technological texts.
