Thanks to Al, I've got my own super smart personal assistant built into my phone.
She uses my answers to learn more about my preferences.
Every recommendation she gives me is great since she can predict if I will like a particular restaurant.
AI is convenient ,smart ,advanced , individual and flexible .
She always has an immediate answer for any question I put to her.
In contrast, my PA only needs a few seconds to find the right place.
AI can help us save time.
Self-driving cars are available soon.
It can make judgements based on information.
As they won't be susceptible to human error, they'll certainly be a lot safer.
AI can make doing day-to-day things a lot easier.
AI is our human achievement.
positive , optimistic , favorable，supportive，approving…
AI can’t think independently without programming.
We could be seen as a “small’ inconvenience that's in the way of a solution to a bigger problem.
It might wipe us all out .
AI may put us at risk.
The taxi drivers would lose their jobs.
Nearly every job is potentially at risk in the long run. Even journalists are now being replaced with technology that can write basic news reports.
Job are at risk due to AI.
AI is a big threat.
doubtful, skeptical , negative
The truth is that none of us is prepared for the challenges of Al.
AI lies in its capacity to analyse and interpret vast amounts of data, which means it can even solve problems that are too challenging for human experts.
If it goes wrong or falls into the wrong hands, it could also be the most dangerous.
Al is not going to go away. We have no choice but to embrace it and regulate it.
That saying “My AI did it!" won't be any excuse for illegal or immoral behavior!
neutral , objective
What is your attitude towards AI How should we treat AI Why Share your views.
group work
AI is a huge advance in human history, and we should treat it with a critical attitude. On the one hand , first, if we make proper use of it, it can solve problems that are too challenging for human experts. Second , it can bring convenience to our life . On the other hand, If we do not make proper use of it, many people will face the risk of losing their jobs, and there will be many illegal and immoral consequences.
