SECTION A
READING

Q1: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: (1x5=5)
The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has marked a significant milestone in
technological advancements, transforming the way we live, work, and communicate.
While AI offers immense potential in various fields, from healthcare to education, it
also raises concerns about its impact on human employment and ethical dilemmas
surrounding its use.
One of the primary advantages of AI is its efficiency. Machines powered by AI can
process data, analyze trends, and make decisions faster and more accurately than
humans. For instance, in the medical field, AI systems are being used to detect
diseases like cancer at earlier stages, thus improving treatment outcomes. Similarly,
AI-driven automation in industries has increased productivity, allowing companies to
meet growing demands more effectively.

However, the rise of AI has also led to significant job displacement. As machines
become more capable of performing tasks traditionally done by humans, many
workers, especially those in low-skilled jobs, face unemployment. This shift has
prompted debates about the need for upskilling and reskilling programs to prepare
the workforce for an AI-driven economy.
Moreover, ethical issues regarding AI's decision-making capabilities are a growing
concern. For example, the use of AI in surveillance raises questions about privacy.
Autonomous vehicles, another AI innovation, face moral dilemmas when
programmed to prioritize certain lives in accident scenarios. The lack of transparency
in AI algorithms further complicates these issues, as decisions are often made
without clear reasoning or accountability.
As society grapples with these challenges, the need for regulatory frameworks
becomes evident. Governments and organizations worldwide must collaborate to
ensure that AI is developed and deployed responsibly. This includes creating
guidelines for ethical AI use, addressing employment challenges, and ensuring that
AI serves as a tool to complement human abilities rather than replace them.
Ultimately, while AI holds the promise of advancing human potential, its integration
into society must be approached with caution. A balanced perspective that weighs its
benefits against its risks is essential to harness its full potential without undermining
fundamental human values.

2
b) The lack of technological growth
c) Privacy issues in surveillance
d) Limited application in healthcare
4. Why is there a need for regulatory frameworks for AI?
a) To eliminate the use of AI in industries
b) To ensure responsible development and deployment
c) To prevent the integration of AI into society
d) To limit the number of AI-driven innovations
5. What is the author’s overall perspective on AI?
a) It is wholly negative and should be avoided.
b) It is entirely positive and should be embraced unconditionally.
c) It holds potential but must be approached cautiously.
d) It is unnecessary for societal development.
