Is AI replacing humans? What should we do to avoid the risks and dangers that AI might bring?AI is set to help people in many ways. It will make everyday tasks easier and bring efficiency to lots of industries. It might be one of man’s greatest inventions. However, like any other technology, AI will also bring risks. In February 2018, a group of AI experts got together to discuss the possible misuse of AI. What they found was that “Every AI advance (前进) by the good guys is an advance for the bad guys, too,” according to Quartz. What they were most worried about was that criminals (罪犯) could use AI for wrongful purposes. One of the areas they looked at was the use of AI to create websites that could be used to steal people’s personal information. Another possibility is that AI programs could be taught to break into computer secure systems. There are some other concerns as well. It is possible that AI could be used to create fake news and videos. In fact, Chinese tech giant Baidu, has developed a program called Deep Voice that can “clone” (克隆) anyone’s voice by studying a 3. 7-second audio sample. Many famous people in the tech world have expressed concern about AI. People like Bill Gates and Elon Musk have called for the industry to be more strictly regulated (管理), as there are few laws right now on the use of AI. However, this is set to change. In March 2018, the European Union plans to set up a group that will discuss the dangers of AI, and hopefully, make some rules that will help us keep it safe for humans.31.

As we all know, the life skills like cooking and painting are important and should be taught as part of labor education. On June 3, 2020, the Ministry of Education(MOE)(教育部) gave a document showing the new curriculum (方案) for high schools across the country. Labor education includes housework, school labor and community voluntary services. “Labor education must be carried out with the purpose to make the right view of the world, life and values and develop an interest in doing housework,” said Vice-Minister of Education Zheng Fuzhi. According to China Youth Daily, the labor course will take six credits(学分)—the same as foreign language and physics.Voluntary service, as part of labor education, will take two credits. The MOE also asks schools to make sure 40 hours of voluntary service during the full three school years. According to Xinhua, adding labor education was out of care that the country’s young people do too little housework and that they think labor jobs aren’t important. Because of a lot of school pressure, most schools pay more attention to the course of education and parents may think that doing housework will waste their kids’ time. According to a survey, middle school students in China only spend 12 minutes a day on housework, compared with 72 minutes in the US, 42 minutes in South Korea and 30 minutes in France. However doing housework does not take young people’s attention away. Instead, it can help them to develop a strong working spirit, according to Julie Lythcott-Haims, the writer of How to Raise an Adult. “The earlier you started, the better...”, she said.51.
