Host: Dr Lu, thank you for joining us. So, as a futurist /'fju t r st/, can you tell us how life will be different in 50 years
Dr Lu: Well, you’ll see robots working everywhere/'evriwe (r)/.
Host: Can you give us some examples
~~~
Dr Lu: Well, as we all know, China’s robotics/r 'b t ks/ industry /' nd stri/ is growing fast. Robots will make our life easier. We’ll have service /'s v s/ robots. They will do almost all our housework. They will also help save lives when disasters /d 'zɑ st (r)z/ and emergencies /i'm d nsiz/ happen.
Host: So, what jobs will humans still do in the future
Dr Lu: Good question! Some jobs today will disappear/d s 'p (r)/ in the coming years. However, there will be more challenging /'t l nd / jobs in the future, such as space pilots /'pa l ts/ and AI experts /'eksp ts/.
Host: Do you think robots will replace/r 'ple s/ humans one day
Dr Lu: No, I don’t. Our creativity /kri e 't v ti/ and emotional / 'm nl/ intelligence / n'tel d ns/ are important for relationships. AI will not replace humans for these things.
Host: You mentioned /'men nd/ AI. How will AI change our world
Dr Lu: Well, it will certainly change how we work, study and live. For example, a smart refrigerator will know what you need and order food for you when you’re running low.
Host: Wow, that’ll save us a lot of time! Now, my last question: How can we prepare for the future
~~~~~~~~~
