What does AI bring us?

人工智能會帶給我們什么？

1Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a rapidly evolving (逐步發展) field that is reshaping industries and revolutionizing the way we live and work. With its ability to process and analyze massive amounts of data, AI has the potential to transform various aspects of our society.

2One area where AI is making significant advancements is healthcare. AI algorithms(算法) can analyze medical records, identify patterns, and predict diseases with a high degree of accuracy. This can greatly aid in early detection and treatment, leading to improved patient outcomes. Additionally, AI-powered robots and devices can assist in surgical procedures (外科手術), enhancing precision and reducing the risk of errors.

3In the realm (領域) of transportation, AI is driving the development of autonomous vehicles. Self-driving cars equipped with AI technology can navigate roads, assess traffic conditions, and make real-time decisions to ensure optimal (最佳的) safety and efficiency.This has the potential to not only revolutionize transportation but also reduce traffic jams and improve fuel efficiency.

4AI is also transforming the way we interact with technology. Natural Language Processing (NLP) allows machines to understand and respond to human language, enabling the development of virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa.These AI-powered assistants can perform tasks, answer questions, and provide personalized recommendations, making our lives more convenient and efficient.

5However, with the immense power and potential of AI come certain challenges and ethical concerns. Privacy and data security issues need to be addressed to ensure the responsible and secure use of AI technology. Additionally, there are concerns about job displacement as certain tasks become automated through AI.It is crucial that society adapts to these changes, providing support and retraining opportunities for affected workers.

6In conclusion, AI is a transformative (變革性的) force that is reshaping industries and advancing society. From healthcare and transportation to personalized assistants, AI has the potential to improve efficiency, accuracy, and convenience in various fields. As these advancements continue, it is essential that we approach AI development responsibly,addressing ethical concerns and ensuring a fair and inclusive transition into an AI-powered future.

二、典句賞析

（一）非謂語

These AI-powered assistants can perform tasks, answer questions, and provide personalized recommendations, making our lives more convenient and efficient. 這些人工智能助手可以執行任務，回答問題，并提供個性化的推薦，使得我們的生活更加方便、高效。

【點石成金】此句使用的非謂語making...efficient在句中作結果狀語。使用非謂語能擴大句子容量，使得語言更加簡潔、連貫。

【例句仿寫】隨著科技的發展，越來越多的機器人將會取代人類的工作，這會導致很多人失業。

（二）it作形式主語

It is crucial that society adapts to these changes, providing support and retraining opportunities for affected workers. 關鍵是社會要適應這些改變，提供支持和重新訓練的機會給受到影響的工人。

【點石成金】此句使用了it is+adj.+that...的句式，it作形式主語，真正的主語是that引導的從句。it作形式主語是一個重要的句型，可以避免句子頭重腳輕，符合英語語言習慣。

【例句仿寫】總而言之，我們沒有必要過度擔憂機器人在某些領域的應用，因為只有我們人類才具備創造性。

三、寫作遷移

Dear Editor,

寫作導引

?激活思維

本次寫作任務是寫一篇觀點介紹類作文，要求我們客觀闡述班級同學對“科技發展對生活的影響”這一話題的觀點，并且提出自己的觀點。題目要求我們使用非謂語或it作形式主語的句型。同主題的閱讀材料為我們提供了豐富的內容素材和語言素材，我們可以有針對性地和選擇性地從閱讀材料中提取相關素材。
