VOCABULARY

In 2000, Asimo, a robot created by Honda
amazed everyone by just walking down the
stairs. Twenty years later, a robot named
Sophia can even communicate with people
by using human language and expressing
emotions.
However, robots are just one example of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) – the study and
development of machines that can copy
human intelligence. Nowadays, AI has been
applied to various areas of life.
At home, devices such as vacuum cleaners
can now use AI to measure the room size
and recognize any furniture. They can then
decide on the most effective way to clean
the house.
