AI is increasingly used in various areas of life, including the workplace. While some support this development, others express concern. Below are arguments for and against the use of AI at work.

Supporters present three main points. First, efficiency and productivity. AI can handle repetitive, monotonous tasks without fatigue, allowing employees to focus on more complex and creative work. This increases output and saves time. Second, better decision- making. AI can analyze vast amounts of data quickly, identifying patterns and trends that help managers make informed, data-driven decisions. This leads to more accurate forecasts, improved employee engagement, and better overall results. Third, learning and development. AI can enhance employee engagement by offering personalized training. AI systems can detect skill gaps and recommend tailored programs, helping employees grow. This benefits both workers-by boosting confidence and capability-and companies-by fostering more skilled, loyal, and satisfied staff.

Critics, however, raise several concerns. First, job displacement. As AI takes over tasks once handled by humans, there's growing fear of job loss, causing stress among workers. Second, lack of human touch. Despite its capabilities, AI cannot replicate the empathy, emotional intelligence, and connection offered by human leaders-essential in many roles. Third, ethical and privacy issues. Concerns about data use require clear policies to ensure fairness, transparency, and respect for privacy, maintaining employee trust.

Conclusion: AI should be used in the workplace, but with proper regulations to maximize benefits and minimize risks. A cautious, well-planned approach is essential for the future.

4. Based on the information given, Which industry sectors are heavily impacted by AI?

Click the Yes or No option for each statement!

A. Information and communication: Yes / No
B. Financial and insurance activities: Yes / No
C. Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries: Yes / No

A. a tool to enhance workplace productivity and employee growth.
B. the cause of job losses and emotional stress among workers.
C. a system that replaces human leaders in decision-making.
D. a machine incapable of human empathy and connection.
E. the threat to employee's privacy and data security.

Jawaban: A. a tool to enhance workplace productivity and employee growth.

A. Improve your emotional intelligence
B. Avoid industries where AI is widely applied
C. Undergo personalized training to close skill gaps

Chareles Darwin was an English Natural scientist who laid down a framework for the theory of evolution-showing how Man evolved from lower life forms. At the time, his research and publication led to bitter controversy, but this theory of evolution and natural selection became accepted within the scientific community.

Charles Darwin was born on February 12, 1809 in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. He was born into a wealthy and influential family. His grandfathers included-China manufacturer Josiah Wedgwood, and Erasmus Darwin, one of the leading intellectuals of 18th century England.

Darwin planned to study medicine at Edinburgh University, but later, at the instigation of his father, changed to studying Divinity at Christ's College, Cambridge University. Darwin was not a great student, preferring to spend time examining natural science and beetle collecting. After gaining a passionate interest in natural science, Darwin was offered a place on the HMS Beagle to act as natural scientist on a voyage to the coast of South America.

On the voyage, Darwin made copious notes about specimens he found on his voyages. In particular, at the Galapagos Islands 500 miles west of South American, Darwin was struck by how the Finch was different on each individual island. He noticed that the Finch had somehow adapted to the different aspects of the particular island.

Over the next 20 years, Darwin worked on the dilemma of how species evolve and can end up being quite different on different islands. Influenced by the work of Malthus, Darwin came up with a theory of natural selection and gradual evolution over time.

In his theory, in the struggle for survival, the fittest win out at the expense of their rivals because they succeed in adapting themselves best to their environment.

Darwin continued to refine his theory, and would intensively breed plants to work on his theories. However, realizing how controversial his ideas waere, Darwin delayed publishing them. It was not until learning that another naturalist, Alfred Russell Wallace, had developed similar ideas, that Darwin was galvanized into publishing his own book. In 1859, the ground-breaking 'On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection' was published, which immediately gained widespread interest and attention.

Darwin died on April 19,1882. He was given a state burial at Westminster Abbey.

A. the nature will select the species in random ways

Text for questions number 11-13

In recent years, the world has seen a big change in how people pay for things. More and more people, especially young ones, prefer using digital payment methods like e-wallets, mobile banking, and contactless cards. This new trend has given rise to what many call the "cashless generation."

One main reason for this shift is convenience. Paying with a phone or card is faster and easier than carrying coins and bills. People can now buy food, shop online, or even pay for public transport with just a tap. It also helps reduce the risk of theft since there is no physical money to lose.

Another reason is the growth of technology. With smartphones becoming common and the internet being more available, digital payments have become part of daily life. Many schools and cafes now even refuse to accept cash, encouraging young people to adapt to this modern lifestyle.

However, there are some concerns. Some people argue that going cashless can exclude older generations or those who do not have access to smartphones or bank accounts. Others worry about privacy and security, as digital payments can be tracked and hacked. Despite these issues, the cashless trend continues to grow.

Governments and businesses are working to make digital payments more secure and more available to everyone. It seems likely that the future will be even more digital.

In conclusion, the cashless generation represents a big change in how we handle money. While there are both advantages and disadvantages, it is clear that cashless payments offer many benefits in terms of speed and convenience. As long as we ensure that everyone can join this movement, the cashless future could be a smart and inclusive one.
