AI Medicine Security Finance & Economy Tourism Education Transportation Entertainment What can AI do for us? Now, give a free talk. Vocabulary Lead in Listening Speaking Homework Vocabulary Lead in Listening Speaking Homework Vocabulary Lead in Listening Speaking Homework Two robots are serving food at a cafe. Pros: May be cheaper and faster. Cons: Communication difficulties. No human touch. A robot is playing the piano. Pros: The robot can play anything perfectly. Cons: No creativity or emotion involved. Vocabulary Lead in Listening Speaking Homework A robotic arm works at a factory. Pros: Simple, repetitive tasks are done at higher speeds more cheaply and accurately. Cons: Humans end up out of work. No added skill or creativity. A robot band is performing. Pros: More live music will be available more cheaply. Playlists will be limitless. Cons: It really isn’t live music. It is more like listening to a record, without any of the excitement and emotion of watching humans perform. Vocabulary Lead in Listening Speaking Homework Several robots are playing soccer. Pros: Promote learning and enjoyment of AI and robotics to a wider audience. Cons: The robot players don't even know they are in a contest and have no desire to win or lose, so there is no emotional content to the match; no physical skill or talent is involved either. 2. What kinds of robots or AI developments do you hope for? I hope for an educating robot because I can ask any questions when I have troubles in learning. Vocabulary Lead in Listening Speaking Homework Watch the video and answer the following question. What impressed you most in the video? The robot looks almost human. She can communicate with people without any barriers, and she can even imitate human feelings. It is amazing! 1 The host introduces the guest, a sci-fi expert. The expert has robots in his home. As robots become more intelligent, they may also become more dangerous. The host mentions Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics. The expert says robots will have occupations such as teaching and nursing. The line between humans and robots will be more blurred in the future. The host asks about benefits and problems. The host asks if there are robots in the expert’s home. In sci-fi stories, robots often become superior and take over.

Vocabulary Lead in Listening Speaking Homework 2. What benefits do you think robots or AI will bring? Do you think they will cause problems as well? Vocabulary Lead in Listening Speaking Homework 1. What do you know about robot technology? What can robots do? Robot technology has its pros and cons. It can bring great convenience to human beings together with some scientific or moral problems. A robot is a machine that can do a task according to computer programs or through automatic control systems. The main benefits are that they can do some kinds of work more quickly, better, and cheaper than humans, and that they can take the place of humans when people are unavailable or unable to carry out the work. They can cause problems, however. First, what happens if they no longer serve people or stop following orders? Second, there is the possibility that at some point we will have difficulty determining what constitutes a living being and what constitutes a machine. Yes, I do. Isaac Asimov introduced them into most of his science fiction writings to show that robots could be prevented from harming us or our world. They are not actual scientific laws, but rather guidelines for human programmers to follow to keep our world safe. At first glance, the rules seem logical and reasonable, but they also seem outdated. Vocabulary Lead in Listening Speaking Homework Do you know anything about Isaac Asimov and his famous Three Laws of Robotics? What do you think of these laws? Vocabulary Lead in Listening Speaking Homework Make a dialogue with your partners. You may use the following expressions to help you. EXAMPLE Oh, by the way, I saw a programme about robot doctors last night. It was very interesting. Do you think robots will do more of these important jobs in the future? Certainly. They will probably do most of our labour for us. Maybe, but that’s beside the point. In my opinion, robots are dangerous! They are much stronger than we are and may be superior to us in the future. A: B: C: Vocabulary Lead in Listening Speaking Homework A: Oh, by the way, I saw a programme about robot doctors last night. It was very interesting. Do you think robots will do more of these important jobs in the future? B: Certainly. They will probably do most of our labour for us. C: Maybe, but that’s beside the point. In my opinion, robots are dangerous! They are much stronger than we are and may be superior to us in the future. A: I think we ought to move on to the topic of robot technology. I know the idea of it has been around forever. The ancient Greeks and Chinese both made clever devices that weren’t much different than some of the robots we have today. B: Yes, but the modern idea of intelligent robots that look like humans is only about 100 years old. C: I think we had better move on to what robots can do. Let’s see … there are simple repetitive tasks like factory work and housework. A: Yes, but I think there will be more complex jobs in the future like in healthcare, education, or entertainment. Sample Vocabulary Lead in Listening Speaking Homework C: Oh, there is something else I meant to ask you—does anyone know who even came up with the word “robot”? B: Wasn’t it Isaac Asimov? He was that writer who wrote a lot of science fiction stories. A: No … the word robot was coined much earlier, I think. C: But that’s beside the point. I think we ought to move on to the benefits and dangers of AI to humans and our society … A: Oh, I nearly forgot why Asimov’s writing was so important—he created the Three Laws of Robotics. Law 1, a robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm; Law 2, a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the first law; and Law 3, a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the first or second law. B: But this is where the real danger lies. Those laws are not real laws—they are guidelines that hopefully humans remember when they programme the robots. How can we trust our safety if the robots are programmed by people who don’t keep those rules? C: … Finish the exercise that is given today.
