Have students read paragraphs 4 to 5 again and answer the following questions. What is the function of the first sentence in paragraph 5? How do you understand it? The first sentence in paragraph 5 is “In short, this technology is transforming the way we live.” This is a conclusion to the influence of AI on humans, and is also a transitional sentence between the two paragraphs. What the author implies here is that AI can transform our lives in a good way or in a potentially dangerous way. And then the author further explains himself in paragraph 5. 2. Have students read the first and the last paragraphs again and answer the following questions. (1) What are the similarities and differences between the content of the two paragraphs? Both paragraphs mention an imaginary scene of a robot helping people to do all the work.

Stephen Hawking, for example, warned, “The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.” As far as I am concerned, AI machines would live in harmony with human beings, working to our advantage. Though AI machines may become very intelligent and even outsmart human beings, I think they would support and help human beings. The mathematician and electrical engineer Claude Elwood Shannon once said, “I visualize a time when we will be to robots what dogs are to humans. And I am rooting for the machines.” This humorous quote shows why we do not need to be afraid of powerful AI: as AI develops, it will develop a strong bond with humanity, similar to the relationship between humans and dogs, one of loyalty and friendship. 教学反思： 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
