In recent years, there have been many films about robots trying to take over the world. Studies show that up to 20 million factory jobs worldwide could be taken by robots in the next 10 years. Some people are worried about what might happen in the future.
On 8" September, 2020, The Guardian published (发表) an article written by a robot called GPT-3. It wrote that "robot" comes from the Greek word for "slave" (奴隶) and humans have nothing to fear from robots, which are only here to help humans. However, the fact that a robot could write such an article has made some people feel even more uneasy. Where is the robot technology heading? Can robots and humans work together?

YES — they're here to help humans Robots are created by humans for humans. Robots take on jobs that are too dangerous for people to do by themselves. Although robots might take some people's jobs, they will create new types of work, and they will possibly create more jobs than they take away. Besides, robots' programming could actually make them more trustworthy than humans, because they are not influenced by feelings. |

NO — humans should not trust robots Robots are already taking over the world. Jobs that used to be done by human beings are now being taken by robots. Although robots are under our control now, that might not always be the case. An experiment in Switzerland found that some robots had learnt how to lie to each other. With the development of AI (人工智能), robots could start to act in their own interests. Wherever possible, humans should do things themselves. |
