４. Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each question below.
These days, artificial intelligence or AI exists in the real world. AI is like a smart friend for you, but
it's not a real person. It is a computer technology that can do many amazing things!
Do you want to have a robot that can talk and listen to you? AI can make it possible. It
understands your words and responds to your questions. This makes it easier for you to get and findinformation quickly.
AI is also good at playing games. AI can play chess, solve puzzles, and even play your favorite
video games with you! Sometimes, it is hard for you to win.
One of the most useful things AI can do is to give recommendations. For example, when you watch
a movie on the Internet, AI suggests other movies you can enjoy based on your favorites.
AI is also useful for doctors. They use AI to check patients’ medical data. This helps them makebetter decisions and improve the health of many people around the world.
Moreover, AI is also used in cars for your safety. Some cars have AI systems that can search
objects on the road and warn the driver. This technology is making our driving safer and moreconvenient. In the1980s, a car with AI already appeared in a science fiction TV drama. The cartalked with people and moved around by itself. Perhaps present cars are based on it.
On the other hand, some people are worried about the power of AI. They think that AI could besmarter than humans and make decisions by itself. In the 1990s, a movie about the war between
robots with AI and humans was released. There was a movie about robots with AI. In the movie,robots with AI tried to dominate humans. The story of the movie deeply shocked people. However, AI
was created by humans, and it follows the rules that we make. It's like a very smart tool that can help
people.
AI learns new things as children do. That means that programmers are AI’s parents. Commands byprogrammers tell AI how to understand and handle information. AI can learn from experience likechildren. If it makes a mistake, it remembers the correct answer for the next time.
In conclusion, artificial intelligence is a wonderful technology. It can talk, play games, makerecommendations, help doctors, and help us drive safely.
Because AI is a tool created by humans, it follows the rules we make. However, we need to use AI
carefully. AI can be a great tool in our lives when we use it properly and carefully.
