  Akira,Daiki,andChika are high school studentsin Tokyo.Bella is a high school studentfrom the United States.They are talkingin their classroom after school.

Akira: I’m interested in a *science fiction moviewhich started last week.Shall we go to see it?

Bella: OK.

Akira: I hear that,in the movie,there are amazing machines,like flying cars.

Daiki: Sounds interesting.People can’t make them now.

Chika: Will they make them in the future?

Bella: 【(1)I’m sure they will.

Daiki: Why do you think so?

Bella: Think about *smartphones.When our parents were children,they didn’t thinkpeople would be able to make such thingsin the near future.But people use themin their daily lives now.

Akira: I agree,Bella.There are many new things now.Some people are making new robots.On TV,I saw a robot that played shogi.It played shogi very well.

Bella: The robot has AI in it.

Chika: AI?I have heard of that before,but I don’t know much about it.

Akira: It means *artificial intelligence.AI is good at finding somethingin a very large *amount of information.AI has great *potential.

Bella: A *self-driving car is an example.If people use them,they won’t have to drive themselves at allto get to some places.

Daiki: Will AI make our lives better?

Bella: 【(2)I think so.We will use AI in many things.It’s getting better and better.

Chika: Wait.I heard thatAI machines would *take the place of peoplein some jobsin the future.I am worriedAI will change our lives *dramatically.

Daiki: 【(3)I understand your feelings.We don’t knowhow AI will change our lives.No one knowswhat the future will be.

Bella:There are things AI can doand things AI can’t do.It is necessary for usto understand that.

Akira: 【(4)That’s right.】 We should use AI in the right wayto make our lives more *convenient.I want to study AI,and I want to be an engineerwho will be able to help people in the future.

Bella: That’s a good idea,Akira.

Chika: Now I am interested in AI.I want to know more about it.

Akira: I’m glad to hear that.We will make our own futures,not AI.

Chika: I understand.It is fun to talk about our futures.

Daiki: How about talking about them againafter watching the movie?

Chika: 【(5)That’s a good idea.

Bella: Let’s enjoy seeing a future world in the movie.
