①The future 投资方法未来
②Two-faced 双面神
③AI will mainly be good for business, but mind the pitfalls
人工智能对商业益处多多，但也要当心陷阱
①红色标题“未来”表明了AI存在的时间维度。②黑色标题“Two-faced”表示AI两面性的特点。③引言展开概括来说人工智能有利有弊，但是有所侧重，更多的是让人mind its pitfalls。
1. ①Mention artificial intelligence, and most people will think of robots. ②But a more fitting image may be that of Janus, the Roman god of beginnings, transitions and endings, who has two faces looking in opposite directions. //③On one side are the positive changes that AI will bring, enabling people to achieve more, far more quickly, by using technology to enhance their existing skills. 肯尼迪夫人④Recruiters will be able to pinpoint the best candidates more easily, and customer-rvice staff will be able to handle queries faster. ⑤Jobs that never existed before could be created. ⑥And getting machines to do routine work can make profe
ssional lives more fulfilling and stimulating.
2. ①Consumers, too, will benefit from AI-enhanced rvices such as personalid recommendations and faster and more efficient delivery, as well as from radical changes in industries like health care and transport that could lead to new drug discoveries and treatments and safer ways to move around.
本文开篇就提出了论点，即AI具有两面性，然后1、2段剩下的部分开始论述AI带来的优点。
文章剩下的部分都在说AI带来的负面影响，可见本文的侧重点。
写作建议：事物都具有两面性。如果我们写某一事物的优劣点有所侧重的话，比如这里写AI，重点想写它的不好，那么它的“好”也是可以提一提的，可以把它放在第一段现象里写，不要用太多笔墨，然后套用上一模块学习的一个表达过渡的句子：Much has been This is another side of the story. 接着重点写劣势。
3. ①Look the other way, though, and there are plenty of potential pitfalls. ②Technological
change always caus disruption, but AI is likely to have a bigger impact than anything since the advent of computers, and its conquences could be far more disruptive. 液晶电视排行榜③Being both powerful and relatively cheap, it will spread faster than computers did and touch every industry.
本段是讲人工智能可能会带来的冲击。强调了AI的颠覆性和破坏性都成功碾压以往任何技术变革。与第一、二段的内容共同呼应了第一段的主题，也是下面五段、三个方面的总领。

4. ①In the years ahead, AI will rai three big questions for boss and governments. ②One is the effect on jobs. //③Although chief executives publicly extol the broad benefits AI will bring, their main interest lies in cutting costs. ④One European bank asked Infosys to find a way of reducing the staff in its operations department from 50,000 to 500. ⑤This special report has shown that AI-enhanced tools can help pare staff in departments such as customer rvice and human resources. ⑥The McKiny Global Institute reckons that
英雄神话by 2030 up to 375m people, or 14% of the global workforce, could have their jobs automated away. //⑦Boss will need to decide whether they are prepared to offer and pay for retraining, and whether they will give time off for it. ⑧Many companies say they are all for workers developing new skills, but not at the employer’s expen.
本文的安排很耿直，不拐弯抹角，从4到8段很清晰地写了AI给企业和政府带来的三个问题。
本段提出了第一个问题，中心论点已经用横线划出来了，段落层次我也用//区分出来了，接下来我们来看这一段是如何安排的。
本段的中心论点是AI会对工作岗位产生影响。③到⑥百天宴句是几个例证，并且有数据支持，其中第③句是总说，老板们对于AI的兴趣只在于有了它可以裁员，减少成本。
⑦⑧句个人认为作者是在揭露企业的虚伪，老板口口声声说支持员工学习深造，但却不提供资金，提供的只是工作时间，因为你学习可以呀，不工作也没事，反正你的工作AI也可以做，我不担心，还有可能借机把你炒了。
5. ①A cond important question is how to protect privacy as AI spreads. //②The internet has already made it possible to track people’s digital behaviour in minute detail. ③仓颉AI will offer even better tools for business to monitor consumers and employees, both online and in the physical world. ④Consumers are sometimes happy to go along with this if it results in personalid rvice or tailored promotions. ⑤But AI is bound to bring privacy violations that are en as outrageous. //⑥For example, facial-recognition technology has become so advanced that it may be able to detect someone’s xual orientation. ⑦In the wrong hands, such technology could militate against fair and equal treatment. ⑧Countries with a record of surveillance and human-rights abus, such as China, are already using AI to monitor political activity and suppress disnt. ⑨Law-enforcement officials around the world will u AI to spot criminals, but may also snoop on ordinary citizens. //⑩New rules will be needed to ensure connsus on what degree of monitoring is reasonable.
中心论点和段内层次都已经划分。
本段讲AI对于隐私的侵犯。②③④⑤句通过对比，展现了AI暴露用户隐私的严重性，读后让人细思觉恐，瑟瑟发抖。
⑥到医疗废物处理⑨句是举例论证，最后一句简要提出解决方案。
写作建议：对比论证的使用！
6. ①The third question is about the effect of AI on competition in business. ②Today many firms are competing to provide AI-enhanced tools to companies. ③But a technology company that achieves a major breakthrough in artificial intelligence could race ahead of rivals, put others out of business and lesn competition. ④This is unlikely to happen in the near future, but if it did it would be of great concern.
第6到8段讲AI对商业竞争的影响。其中本段讲的是制造AI技术的公司之间的竞争。
7. ①More likely, in the years ahead AI might contribute to the ri of monopolies in industries outside the tech ctor where there ud to be dynamic markets, eventually stifling innovation and consumer choice. ②咸宁景点Big firms that adopt AI early on will get ever bi
gger, attracting more customers, saving costs and offering lower prices. ③Such firms may also reinvest any extra profits from this source, ensuring that they stay ahead of rivals. ④Smaller companies could find themlves left behind.
