AIS recent developments have got a lot of social attention. Some people have welcomed AI because it makes things possible. Can you imagine that you can play basketball with robots one day when you feel lonely on the playground? For another example, AT will have a big influence on areas like medicine and engineering. Robots can do most jobs faster and better than humans. They seldom make mistakes. But this attention has also caused a lot of fear. Especially, many workers are worrying that AI could make them lose their jobs

According to a recent study, nearly five percent of jobs will disappear because of Al. In some areas, Al is already doing the work that people used to do, such as assembling(AC)cars, digging the coal and lifting goods. Self-driving cars and trucks controlled by AI will also take away the driver's jobs in the future.
