READING - TRUE / FALSE / NOT GIVEN

As for the ‘destination’ problem, we might, by putting ourselves in the hands of these moral guides and gatekeepers, be sacrificing our own autonomy — an important part of what makes us human. Machines who are better than us at sticking to the moral high ground may be expected to discourage some of the lapses we presently take for granted. We might lose our freedom to discriminate in favour of our own communities, for example.
20
Machines with the ability to make moral decisions may prevent us from promoting the interests of our communities.
YES
NO
NOT GIVEN

Loss of freedom to behave badly isn’t always a bad thing, of course: denying ourselves the freedom to put children to work in factories, or to smoke in restaurants are signs of progress. But are we ready for ethical silicon police limiting our options? They might be so good at doing it that we won’t notice them; but few of us are likely to welcome such a future.
21
Silicon police would need to exist in large numbers in order to be effective.
YES
NO
NOT GIVEN
22
Many people are comfortable with the prospect of their independence being restricted by machines.
YES
NO
NOT GIVEN

These issues might seem far-fetched, but they are to some extent already here. Al already has some input into how resources are used in our National Health Service (NHS) here in the UK, for example. If it was given a greater role, it might do so much more efficiently than humans can manage, and act in the interests of taxpayers and those who use the health system. However, we’d be depriving some humans (e.g. senior doctors) of the control they presently enjoy. Since we’d want to ensure that people are treated equally and that policies are fair, the goals of Al would need to be specified correctly.

10

We have a new powerful technology to deal with —itself, literally, a new way of thinking. For our own safety, we need to point these new thinkers in the right direction, and get them to act well for us. It is not yet clear whether this is possible, but if it is, it will require a cooperative spirit, and a willingness to set aside self-interest.
23
If we want to ensure that machines act in our best interests, we all need to work together.
YES
NO
NOT GIVEN

11

Both general intelligence and moral reasoning are often thought to be uniquely human capacities. But safety seems to require that we think of them as a package: if we are to give general intelligence to machines, we'll need to give them moral authority, too. And where exactly would that leave human beings? All the more reason to think about the destination now, and to be careful about what we wish for.

What it is?
How has it changed people’s lives?
What benefits did it bring?
And explain if it is more important for older or younger people.
Sample (lụm trên mạng)
Introduction:
There are so many things around us that we take for granted but make our lifestyle possible. For instance, could you imagine living a day without checking emails on your computer or walking around without your mobile phone?
Today, I would like to talk about an invention that changed people’s life.
What it is? and How has it changed people’s lives?
I am going to talk about the internet. The Internet has changed business, education, government, healthcare, and even how we interact with our loved ones—it has become one of the key drivers of social evolution. The changes in social communication are of particular significance.
Nowadays, children can attend online classes at home and it is only possible with the help of the internet. If we talk about the money transfer. The Internet makes this process more secure and fast.
People can transfer money from anywhere at any time. This invention also improves people’s performance and helps to increase business and worldwide level. It provides a video conferencing service through which people can do meeting with foreign people.
Last but not least, it is mainly popular among youngsters because young people use it not only for education but for entertainment. They watch the latest movies, songs and web series online.
I think it is more important for young people than older ones. Older people are habitual of using old methods of working so it is very difficult to adopt new methods.
Conclusion:
On the other hand, the new generation is very habitual of it they can’t live without it.

Introduction
There are many things that we use every day. For example, we travel by cars, we work with computers, and we talk to our friends with mobile phones.
The things I just talked about are what I consider as great inventions becauses they have changed how we live our lives.
So, for today, I am going to talk about the Ipad because it is a kind of computer, and also, I use it every day.
Body:
Not only me but many of my friends also have the tablet. And we all agree that the device is so useful for our lives because most of the important activities we do nowadays can be assisted by an Ipad.
It can be used as a computer for working, an e-book for learning, or even a tool for providing entertainment.
The current Ipad generation is so strong that it can beat any laptop on the market. As you know, in recent years, we mostly use laptop in our workplace. And now, we have the table as a better and more portable replacement.
We used to mostly read paper books. Imagine that you are interested in reading many books, it would be so inconvenient to carry all of them to places. With the Ipad, there is no limit on how many books you can bring a long. Because they are all digitalized now.
Playing games with friends or watching some movie are examples of great ways of using the Ipad for amusement.
Conclusion:
The most wonderful thing about the Ipad is that it is very easy to get used to, so even the elderly can enjoy using it. Therefore, I am seeing the device as a breakthrough product for all of us.
