PART C_2
AI and Our Future

“Artificial intelligence” (AI) stands for “intelligence developed artificially with powerful computers and software”. We tend to think that AI works only in large computer systems, but it is also used in smartphones and car navigation systems to work out the quickest route to the next location. The science of “Deep Learning,” which was developed by referring to the complex network of the human brain, is what has evolved AI forward so quickly. This technique is similar to how human children naturally learn what a “cat” is; but, once AI has begun learning, it can learn much more quickly than human children. It may soon be able to distinguish the sounds and feel of a cat thanks to sensors.

In the future, AI robots may replace humans in hard, uninteresting, and dangerous tasks. Mobile translation machines may be able to assist us in communicating with people all around the world. “AI doctors” using large volumes of data could rapidly discover diseases. 

Should we be so optimistic? Maybe not. 18% of AI professionals believe artificial intelligence could endanger human existence. 13% believe AI could be disadvantageous to humanity. “AI can potentially become even more lethal than nuclear weapons,” Dr. Stephen Hawking said. We can no longer stop AI’s advancement and may overtake humans with AI at some point, but we can avoid the possible dangers and make them helpful to humans.

Global Inequality
Equality is essential because it promotes social and economic inclusion as well as prosperity. 80 percent of the world’s one billion disabled people live in developing countries. However, only 28% of people with disabilities in the world have access to disability benefits, with only 1% in low-income countries.

wage gap

Inequality affects the migrant labor market as well. The migrant pay gap has widened in certain high-income countries over the last five years. Furthermore, according to a report by the Centre for Ageing Better, older women are more likely than older men to live in poverty, be socially isolated, live in poor housing, become ill, and die younger. It is the result of a lifetime of unequal pay and working conditions only for women.

Part E_3 Reading
wage gap

1. According to the passage, what is the average migrant pay gap in Slovenia?
Part E_4 Reading
Answer:
Part E_5 Reading
Social Protection
Social protection programs urge the most vulnerable people to stay healthy, pursue education, and look for work to avoid poverty. Particularly because people with disabilities are five times more likely than the general population to have high health care costs, such systems have been pushed to expand their services globally.

The Takaful and Karama programs “Solidarity and Dignity”, which began in Egypt in 2015, provided financial assistance to families in exchange for their children staying in school and receiving good health care. Poor citizens over the age of 65 have also benefited from the program, which provides them with tiny monthly pensions. The initiative benefited more than 10% of Egypt’s population.

New Technologies and Economic Growth
The amount of new renewable energy capacity established in 2019 was the highest ever. This includes the installation of wind turbines and new solar systems. Digitally-enabled platforms are estimated to account for 70 percent of new economic value created over the next decade.

Improved remote learning opportunities are now available thanks to 5G technology. Its sheer speed would considerably improve the quality of such learning by allowing for rapid participation without consuming a lot of energy. Students in far African villages, for example, would be able to engage in classes in real-time. With this, it is possible to achieve equality with a better education system that uses 5G technology. Furthermore, doctors can use virtual reality technology and 3D imaging to perform remote surgery with 5G.

I own a ryokan, which is a Japanese inn. Many foreign tourists came to Wakaba City because it was appeared in a popular anime. I made English brochures for them; my inn was first popular, but as time went by, fewer foreigners visited.

I used English to interview my foreign guests. Their responses helped me understand the problem better. They gave me several suggestions. Some people wanted a variety of dishes for dinner and breakfast. Some people were looking for a washing machine and free Wi-Fi. Everything they taught me was new to me. I made some changes, and they worked well. My customers were happier than they had been in the past. Not only that, but the number of foreign visitors came than before. Language is a tool to discover a new way. A foreign language can open up your future.

Decent Work and Economic Growth
Working ensures people’s financial security and allows them to meet their basic needs. It also contributes to the country’s social and economic development. In 2017, the global unemployment rate was 5.6 percent, down from 6.4 percent in 2000. However, unemployment is still a worldwide issue. 61 percent of all workers were under the informal sector in 2016.

To reduce poverty, productive jobs and decent work are required. They include possibilities for profitable labor, a fair wage, workplace security, social safety for families, improved opportunities for personal growth, and social inclusion for all women and men.

Underdeveloped countries, on the other hand, rely on child labor to meet their basic needs. Nearly one in ten children on the planet is subjected to child labor. Others are trafficked into hazardous jobs that can lead to death.

Part E_4 Reading
Answer:

Gender Gap at Work
Gender inequality has an impact on income. Men earn 12.5 percent more than women in 40 of the 45 countries studied. The global gender pay gap is currently at 23%, and if no efforts are made to close the gap, it will take another 68 years to achieve equal pay. Moreover, men have a 94 percent participation rate in the workforce, whereas women have a 63 percent participation rate.

Despite the fact that women’s educational attainments are equal to or higher than men’s, women are typically paid less than men in similar occupations.

Despite their greater role in society, women continue to do 2.6 times as much unpaid domestic and caregiving labor as men. Unpaid caregiving jobs are one of the most significant hindrances to women pursuing better employment.

Decent work and child labor
Work is important to people as it provides them with financial security and access to basic needs. But unemployment is an ongoing problem all over the world. In 2017, the global unemployment rate was 5.6 percent, a decrease from 6.4 percent in 2000. Productive employment and decent work are necessary to reduce poverty. Decent work is, for example, an environment where income is fair, safe, and comfortable to work in, and there is no distinction or discrimination.

Learning a Foreign Language
In Japan, I work as a doctor. Every summer, I volunteer for four weeks at a non-profit organization (NGO). When I go to different countries, there are a lot of health issues. The members of the NGO’s team come from many nations and speak a variety of languages. We communicate in English both inside the team and with local doctors and patients. Also, I have discovered that I need to communicate clearly and carefully.

I work as a computer scientist for a California-based research group. From my own experience, one thing regarding language is certain: you will learn it when you need it. In high school, I did not put much effort into studying English. However, I understood that I needed to learn foreign language skills when I was a university student. As an Al researcher, I now consult Chinese articles and listen to German news bulletins. In addition, I make presentations and prepare papers in English.
