Look at the pictures and discuss the questions in pairs.
What jobs are these robots doing
Two robots are serving food at a
café.
What are the pros and cons of robots
doing these jobs
A robot is playing the piano.
A robotic arm works at a factory.
A robot band is performing.
Several robots are playing soccer.
What kinds of robots or AI developments
do you hope for
Possible answer:
I hope for an educating robot because I can ask any questions when I have troubles in learning.
A robot is playing the piano.
Pros:
Cons:
The robot can play anything perfectly.
No creativity or emotion involved.
Voice your opinions on robots and AI
A robot band is performing.
Pros:
Cons:
More live music will be available more cheaply; Playlists will be limitless.
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.
A robotic arm works at a factory.
Pros:
Cons:
Simple, repetitive tasks are done at higher speeds more cheaply and accurately.
Humans end up out of work; No added skill or creativity.
Voice your opinions on robots and AI
Several robots are playing soccer.
Pros:
Cons:
Promote learning and enjoyment of AI and robotics to a wider audience.
They don't even know they are in a contest and have no desire to win or lose, so there is no emotional content to match; no talent involved.
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.
Listen to an interview and complete the questions as follows. (P6 E2)
What are the key aspects mentioned in the interview Write down the key information on your notebook.
Change your notebook with your shoulder partner and discuss three questions.
Who is interviewed
What does the host ask
What is the expert’s opinion
Listen to an interview and put these statements in the correct order.
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.

Listen to the interview again and write down the discourse markers that you hear.Make a note of how each discourse marker is used in the interview. Then compare your answers with a partner.
Listen for discourse markers
Discourse markers are used to organise a text by marking sequence, contrast, opinion, purpose, and so on. Listening for discourse markers can help you understand a text more easily.
just now, so, well, but, however, above all
In groups, discuss what the expert thinks of the questions and exchange your own views.You may use the following expressions to help you.
Changing the topic
Oh,by the way,... Oh, I remember, ... I nearly forgot!...
What I meant to tell/ask you is ... ..., but (perhaps) that's beside the point.
That reminds me of ... The next item on the agenda is...
I think we ought to move on to... On the one hand...On the other hand...
Oh,there was something I meant to tell you. Could I change the subject
(1) What do you know about robot technology What can robots do
Robots 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 programmes or through the use of some kind of controls.
(2) What benefits do you think robots or Al will bring
Do you think they will cause problems as well
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 no humans are available or when humans cannot do 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.
(3) Do you know anything about Isaac Asimov and his famous Three Laws of Robotics What do you think of these laws
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 their human programmers to follow to keep our world safe. At first glance, the rules seem logical and reasonable, but they also seem outdated.
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.
LAW 3
A ROBOT MUST PROTECT ITS OWN EXISTENCE AS LONG AS SUCH PROTECTION DOES NOT CONFLICT WITH THE FIRST OR SECOND LAW.
EXAMPLE
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.
Listening text
Host: Welcome back to the show. Just now we talked about time travel with sci-fi expert, Simon Phoenix. So,if we could move on now, Simon, robots are often in the news these days. Do you think robots will eventually live among us, and do most of our jobs for us, like in science fiction
Simon: Well, robots already do many jobs, in factories,for example. But they often do simple tasks and do not look like humans, unlike in the movies. However,as artificial intelligence develops, we'll certainly see robots with more complex occupations, such as teaching or nursing, and we are therefore likely to make them look more like us, so we feel more comfortable.
Host: What benefits and problems do you think this would bring
Simon: The main benefit would be greater labour efficiency, giving us more time for other things.
But there would certainly be issues with integrating them into society. The more intelligent they become, the more powerful and dangerous they will be, too. Above all,we need to think carefully about how to programme them to protect us humans.
Host: That reminds me of the Three Laws of Robotics by Isaac Asimov. Is that what you mean
Simon: Yes. That's a good place to start.Asimov was one of the greatest sci-fi authors,and he wrote the Laws in 1942.However, he also showed how the Laws could be broken. I believe he was showing us the problems we would have with such intelligent machines.
Host : In sci-fi stories,robots often become superior and take over. Do you think this could really happen If so, should we not build clever robots
Simon: It is very hard to stop technology once it has been created. Robot technology is developing very fast, so it could be possible. We use technology more and more in our lives. I think the line between humans and robots will be more blurred in the future.
Host: Thanks a lot, Simon. So, I take it that you don't have any robots at home
Simon: Well...yes, I do actually!
Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
