A.I. or artificial intelligence is the intelligence displayed by machines or software.
Many industries today use highly automated vehicles that can drive with almost no human intervention. Smart 
robots have replaced humans in stressful and dangerous jobs, and in assembly lines doing tasks such as packing 
and lifting heavy things.
In science and medicine, A.I. techniques help medical doctors to discover subtle interactions between medications 
that put patients at risk because of their serious side effects. Patients at highest risk of complications are also 
detected based on these techniques.
In navigation, devices using the GPS (Global Positioning System) help drivers or pilots to find the best routes to 
their destination by avoiding obstacles, traffic jams, and accidents.
In military, A.I. robots are used to explore dangerous environments containing explosives or contaminated by 
nuclear weapons.
In communication, the voice recognition systems in smartphones or other electronic devices can identify our 
speech, and are getting better at understanding our intentions. A.I. algorithms can also help to detect faces and 
other features in photos sent to social networking sites and automatically organize them. Internet search engines 
such as Google and Bing provide hundreds of millions of people with search results related to weather, traffic 
predictions, book recommendations, educational institutions, music, films, and games. A.I. applications on the 
Internet can translate web pages in real time, and even help users to learn new languages.
Many A.I. experts believe that A.I. technology will soon make even greater advances in many other areas. Modern 
robots will be more intelligent and replace humans in many dangerous jobs and environments. This will certainly 
improve our lives in the near future. 2. Read the text on page 22 and circle the letter A, B, C or D to choose the correct answer
