Read the text and choose the main idea.

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 recognise
any furniture. They can then decide on the most effective way to clean the house.
In transport, AI can be used on many smartphones to collect information about traffic. This can then
help drivers find the most suitable route. Travelling has become much more convenient thanks to
AI.
At work, the uses of AI are even more useful and exciting. Computer programs, such as AI software
or chatbots, can help customers plan their holidays, book flights and hotels, and answer questions.
AI is one of the most important inventions of the 21st century. It has completely changed our daily
work and life.

a. Uses of AI at home

At home, devices such as vacuum
cleaners can now use AI to measure
the room size and recognise any
furniture. They can then decide on the
most effective way to clean the house.

b. Uses of AI at work

At work, the uses of AI are even
more
useful
and
exciting.
Computer programs, such as AI
software or chatbots, can help
customers plan their holidays,
book flights and hotels, and
answer questions.

c. Uses of AI in transport
