Helpful ideas:
1. Introduction
- robots are widely used in the food industry and medicine
- they have advantages and disadvantages
2. Body T <--> Ss
- advantages: fewer human workers, errors, and defects
11
- disadvantages: power failure, malfunction, hackers
3. Conclusion
- help humans improve their lives
- a threat to humans or not?
Suggested answer:
A. I. robots are widely used in areas such as the food industry and
medicine. Obviously, they bring advantages as well as disadantages.
The advantages of intelligent robots are countless. Robotic machines are
countless. Robotic machines can replace the human workforce in
industrial assembly lines because they cannot only complete tasks faster
than humans, but also make fewer errors. Furthermore, unlike humans,
they take no breaks. In modern manufacturing plants, one out of every
ten thousand workers is a robot. That is the reason why robots are so
widely used in the automobile and electronics factories.
In hospitals, A. I. robots can operate on patients, and help doctors to
discover damaged organs in patients. They also help experts to do
research on any serious side effects caused by the interactions of
different medications on patients that can lead to complications in
treatment.
The disadvantages of A. I. are undeniable. Robots and other robotic
machines are designed and programmed by humans. Therefore, they can
be attacked by malware or viruses or disabled due to power failure. In
such cases, the computer systems will crash and A. I. devices will
become useless machines. Another disadvantage is that the computer
operating systems could be taken control of by hackers, causing misuse
of robotic devices. This could potentially be dangerous to human lives.
In conclusion, robots benefit humanity because the aim of their creation
is replace people in stressful and dangerous jobs, and make their lives
better. But relying on them completely is dangerous, because so much
can go wrong with them. In the end, the advantages outweigh the
disadvantages.
