Since the start f the industrial revlutin, there have been threats that new machines—frm mechanized lms（织布机）t micrchips wuld take human jbs.
A March reprt frm Gldman Sachs estimated that AI capable f cntent generatin culd d a quarter f all the wrk currently dne by humans. Acrss the Eurpean Unin and the US, the reprt further ntes, 300 millin jbs culd be lst t autmatin.
Thankfully, it's nt all bad news. The experts issue their warnings with a relief: there are still things AI isn't capable f-tasks that invlve distinctly human qualities, like emtinal intelligence and utside-the-bx thinking.
"I think there are generally three categries that will remain unaffected in the cming future." says Martin Frd, a related authr. "The first wuld be jbs that are genuinely creative: yu're nt engaged in repetitive wrk r just rearranging things, but yu're genuinely cming up with new ideas and building smething new."
That desn't necessarily mean all jbs that are cnsidered "creative" are safe. In fact, things like graphic design and visual art-related rles may be amng the first t g. Basic algrithms can direct a rbt t analyze millins f images, allwing AI t rapidly acquire a sense f beauty. "But there's sme security in ther kinds f creativity, in science, and medicine and law peple whse jb is cming up with a new legal strategy r business strategy." says Frd.
"The secnd categry," he cntinues, "is jbs that require cmplicated interpersnal relatinships." He pints t nurses, business cnsultants and investigative jurnalists. "These are jbs t interact in the kinds f ways that really build relatinships." he says.
"The third safe zne is jbs that really require lts f mbility and prblem-slving ability in unpredictable envirnments." says Frd. Many trade jbs—think electricians, plumbers, engineers and where yu need a very deep understanding f peple. I think it'll be a lng time befre AI has the ability the like—fall under this umbrella. "These are the kinds f jbs where yu're dealing with a new situatin all the time." he adds.
In shrt, seeking rles in dynamic, shifting envirnments that include unpredictable tasks is a gd way t avid jb lss t Al, at least, fr a while.
32. What has been a histrical cncern regarding new machines?
A. The need fr increased human skills. B. The pssibility f human lsing jbs.
C. The fear f increased autmatin csts. D. The ptential fr machine malfunctins.
33. What can we knw frm the March reprt?
A. AI is nt capable f cntent generatin. B. AI can imitate distinctly human qualities.
C. AI pses n threat t human emplyment. D. AI has n utside-the-bx thinking abilities.
34. Which f the fllwing statement will Martin Frd disagree with?
A. All creative jbs are nt safe frm AI.
B. Graphic designers tend t be affected.
C. Prblem-slving jbs will remain unaffected.
D. Jbs fcusing n repetitive tasks will still have a place.
35. What is the authr's attitude twards the ptential jb lss caused by Al?
A. Optimistic. B. Pessimistic. C. Indifferent. D. Uncertain.
