25、 to spot patterns more quickly.Thus,in the future,AI will help us to solve problems that we consider too complex to solve now.34 It is already helping us in a wide variety of fields such as medicine and human-to-machine communication.The effect of this is that we can more easily communicate with our
26、 devices such as smartphones,and better organise our time.I think in the future many devices will work automatically,like cars will be self-driving and safe,which gives us more time to focus on other important things in life.351.Read the conversation aloud.2.Write down your predictions about AI and other future technologies.Homework36
