In November 2020, Semantic Scholar introduced their new TLDR (Too Long Didn’t Read) feature. This AI-powered tool can shorten even the most complex computer science papers into a single-sentence summary, using natural language processing.
If you’re a researcher, you might be considering how much time you could save by not having to map out evidence for a new topic. This new tool will finally allow you to shift your attention to the parts of your job that are more complex, analytical and social. At the same time, you are probably a little concerned that it could replace you or one of your colleagues. Last time it took a team of four researchers to review the evidence. Will it only require three or fewer researchers in the future
So will the impact of AI on the labour market be the same as “a new disease…namely technological unemployment” warned by John Maynard Keynes
It seems too early to give this question an answer now. But we’ve learned from history the fact that previous technological waves did not cause massive job losses. Instead, they have led to transformations within the labour market and brought challenges that policymakers continue to deal with. Workers may need to re-skill or up-skill. This will help them to adapt to new ways of organizing tasks and the appearance of new ones. New skills will enable them to face potential job losses and manage transitions to new jobs. Policies and institutions can play a key role in ensuring that all workers can successfully handle a changing labour market.
Even if AI increases the scale of the challenge, widens inequalities and brings new challenges for the work environment, policymakers should keep these lessons in mind to help workers ride the waves of technological change.
( )1. What can “TLDR” do according to the first two paragraphs
A.Shift your attention.
B.Find evidence of a case.
C.Improve work efficiency.
D.Help you write your paper.
( )2. Which statement will John Maynard Keynes probably agree with
A.Technological change will cause job losses.
B.A new disease will lead to unemployment.
C.Technological advancement can lead to diseases.
D.The appearance of AI is a warning for humanity.
( )3. How can workers adapt to technological changes in the labour market
A.By finding more new jobs.
B.By managing the labour market.
C.By actively working with policymakers.
D.By improving existing skills or learning new ones.
( )4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.The advanced features of TLDR
B.New development in AI technology
C.The impact of AI on the labour market
