While most often when people think of a robot, they think of the android (human-like robot) in Picture 1, actually the vast majority of robots are like that in Picture 3, which is a robot arm used to assemble parts in a factory. In this activity, the robot arm in Picture 3 represents automation. Since an android is meant to be like a human in every way, the android in Picture 1 is being used to represent artificial intelligence (AI).
Picture 2 is an artist’s rendering of nanobots in the human bloodstream. A nanobot is a microscopic robot. While they are still in the development stage, it is thought that in the future, nanobots can be used within the human body to deliver carefully targeted doses of medicine to areas in the body that need them and to repair human tissues and cells.
Task2- Discussion
How do you think these events or such technology might develop in the future?
What challenges and opportunities might they bring?
Challenges: With the development of Al, there may come a time when it becomes a real issue as to whether a computer or machine has in fact achieved consciousness, and whether, as a conscious being, it deserves the same rights as a human being.
Opportunities: AI may help us solve problems that are currently too big and overwhelming for us to solve on our own. For example, complex Al models may be able to use given data to develop a workable solution to global warming.

Task 4-Discussion.
Post listening
What do you think about their predictions?
Do you think their predictions are possible?
Why or why not?
Do you think Dr Han and Vincent Black’s predictions are possible? Why or why not?
I agree on Dr Han's idea that computers will be cleverer than us in the future. Actually there are already computers, like AlphaGo, that are smarter than most people.
I don't agree on Vincent Black's idea about floating cities, because I doubt that sea levels will rise that much.

Task 2- Read and answer the following questions about the text
Underline the signpost words or phrases in the text.
This morning, I saw the shocking headline: "Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode". In the article, various people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars. They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. Hence, we should cease accepting technology just because it is new. The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologised for the accident, but the families of the deceased said it was not enough. Nevertheless, the company still claimed that most people would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon.
On the one hand, there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily in the absence of new technology. Probably the most well known are the Amish, a group of Christians living in rural America. They do ...
On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years. For example, the latest weather-tracking computer programmes give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives. Moreover, the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world...
Underline the signpost words or phrases in the text.
Personally, I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances. I found my career as an AI designer through a social media network. My health monitor, which I wear all the time, has also helped me get into the best shape of my life. Of course, when new technology changes the way we live, it can be a scary prospect. Nevertheless, I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it.

[参考范文]
Nowadays, the Internet has become an essential means of communication to modern people, which plays an important part in our daily life and brings us many benefits, but its disadvantages should also not be ignored.
The Internet brings us many advantages. Firstly, not only can the Internet provide a great deal of the latest information for us but also we can send e-mails to our friends, contributing to promoting social communication.
Secondly, the Internet makes shopping online convenient. However, the Internet has many disadvantages. It can easily lead to physical problems, doing harm to our eyesight. Surfing the Internet for a long time may affect our work and rest.
In my view, the most important is that we should learn how to make full use of its advantages while avoiding its disadvantages.
