Today, technological advances are rapidly making it possible to automate much of the work currently carried out by humans. This applies to both blue-collar jobs through robotics and the Internet of things,and white-collar work through artificial intelligence, the wide applicability of the technologies has led to broad concern about the destruction of jobs. Indeed, according to a 2014 Oxford study, 47% of jobs in the US could be replaced. By automated process in the next two decades.
nmkOf cour. As many have noted, while technology has always removed the need for some types of jobs, it also creates new ones. Technology is a t of tools that we u in different ways to increa efficiency. The Industrial Revolution destroyed some jobs but created many more.

It can be challenging to predict the kinds of jobs that this new revolution will create and in what quantities, which makes the situation em wor than it actually is. But nine of the top ten most in-demand jobs of 2012 didn't exist in 2003, suggesting that this latest revolution is creating new employment opportunities.
For many, this picture is overly optimistic. The new jobs require a completely different skills t —you can't turn an asmbly plant worker into a data scientist overnight.

While the concern of an offing future in which humans are entirely replaced by robots certainly isn't unfounded, a much more likely future is one in which robots work alongside humans to improve their work. Experts say that AI will actually create jobs for humans, not destroy them. The Guardian recently reported that by 2037, AI will create more than 7 million new jobs in the healthcare, education, and science fields in the UK.
Shimon is showing us what can happen when robots don't just work for us, but with us. Instead of putting any of our favorite musicians out of work, robots will certainly be challenging and inspiring them in new ways. The cooperation between humans and robots can produce new and attractive music, leading to novel musical outcomes. Thanks to the innovation of Weinberg and his team, rap battles, jam ssions, and symphony orchestras alike may begin to look and act considerably different.

43.In my opinion, AI has both benefits and drawbacks. On the one hand, AI improves our study and life in veral ways. It upgrades our learning style, such as AI teaching, which offers true freedom in time, space and studying pace. AI also brings great convenience to our life, like smart housing system. On the other hand, we also risk losing our independent mind if we rely on AI too much. So we should react to the effects of AI wily.
