When it comes to discussing AI and the future of work we exhale in relief when someone says machines will have a hard time replacing us. This statement is backed by the argument that most AI systems are ‘narrow’. AI systems only do one thing but do it really well, for example, predicting what you want to watch on Netflix. If you ask the same system to make you a cup of coffee or drive your car, you’re likely to be disappointed. But what happens when the AI system can perform the most significant tasks that a job entails? One interesting example we found came from the fashion industry, where a company had implemented two AI systems to produce novel designs. Together, they did all work and the human’s role was only to surveil the work. Research published earlier this year coined the term ‘Shadow Learning’. As explained in the Harvard Business Review article titled ‘Learning to work with intelligent machines’, the researcher 3
4. studied the challenges new surgeons faced when learning robotic surgery skills. Previously, they learned how to perform surgery by working alongside expert surgeons, but now they’re forced to watch over the surgeon’s shoulder as, thanks to robotics, individuals can handle entire surgeries with one pair of hands. The term, however, does not mean that you learn by shadowing someone. The phrase refers to students who gained experience with robotic tools by taking it upon themselves to acquire new skills outside of the curriculum. If we look beyond the current discussion of AI and the future of work – which usually revolves around the number of jobs that will be impacted by AI – we can focus on how to create inspiring new ways to work with machines. (Source: Question 34: Which best serves as the title for the passage? A. AI and the future of work. B. Finding the sweet spot of trust. C. Overreliance on AI systems. D. Ensure that work remains meaningful. Question 35: According to paragraph 1, why should we not worry about AI snatching away our jobs? A. Because creating something new and unique is an ability exclusive to humans. B. Because nothing can replace the caring and empathy that a live person can extend. C. Because AI can take over certain tasks, but possibly not entire multidisciplinary roles. D. Because AI cannot proactively find and start new tasks without some sort of prompt. Question 36: The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to . A. designs B. systems C. tasks D. students Question 37: According to paragraph 3, what is the problem for surgical apprentices in the time of AI universality? A. Offer of exposure to new technologies would be used as recruiting strategy. B. There would be fewer hands-on learning opportunities for the students. C. Ability to work individually, however brilliantly, would not give a competitive edge. D. The students could advance only by upstaging other people around them. Question 38: The word “revolves” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to . A. spins B. worries C. muses D. pivots Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 39 to 45. Stephen Cameron, Vietnam’s patient number 91, has recovered from COVID-19 and is returning home today (July 12th). The symbol of Vietnam’s pandemic success, as referred to by Reuters (the ABC news), will be accompanied by a team of doctors during the flight to London. The 43-year-old Scot, arriving in Vietnam in early March, was tested positive for COVID-19 only three days after his first flight for Vietnam Airlines, following a visit to a bar in Ho Chi Minh City that became a coronavirus outbreak. Cameron’s illness and the highly publicized efforts of Vietnam’s doctors to save him became a symbol in Vietnam of the country’s successful fight against the virus, as reported by Reuters. The ABC news recognized Vietnam’s huge efforts to save the man, who had been critically ill and spent 65 days on life support. Doctors said at one point they considered a lung transplant as the man’s 4
5. lungs were 90% damaged and non-functional. With the vast majority of Vietnam’s COVID-19 patients already recovered, the news of a potential first death prompted a national outpouring of support, with dozens of people coming forward as potential lung donors. However, like a miracle, after he woke from a coma at the end of May, there were small signs of improvement – a thumbs-up sign for an attentive doctor, a trip on to the balcony to catch some sunshine and a video of him holding a Motherwell football club scarf aloft. Every little progress was closely followed by the media and attracted great attention. “The patient’s recovery has been like a very long flight” – Dr. Tran Thanh Linh, the deputy head of the ICU ward at Cho Ray Hospital, said during a meeting between hospital officials, the British Consulate and Vietnam Airlines representatives just before Cameron’s discharge – the Washing Post reported. “All of the health workers are overwhelmed with joy to see him fully recovered and being discharged from the hospital today.” The UK’s Daily Mail quoted Mr Cameron: “I’m overwhelmed by the generosity of the Vietnamese people, the dedication and professionalism of the doctors and nurses working at Cho Ray Hospital. I’m going home with a happy heart because I’m going home, but it is sad that I’m leaving so many people here that I’m friends with”. Vietnam has reported 370 coronavirus cases with no local transmitted infection for nearly three months. All recent cases are people who were infected abroad and had been under compulsory quarantine upon their arrival in Vietnam.
