Helpful ideas:
Introduction: robots are widely used in the food industry and medicine/ they
have advantages and disadvantages
Body: advantages: fewer human workers, errors, and defects
disadvantages: power failure, malfunction, hackers
Conclusion: help humans improve their lives a threat to humans or not?
Suggested answer: A. I. robots are widely used in areas such as the food industry
and medicine. Obviously, they bring advantages as well as disadvantages.
The advantages of intelligent robots are countless. Robotic machines are
countless. Robotic machines can replace the human workforce in industrial
assembly lines because they cannot only complete tasks faster than humans, but
also make fewer errors. Furthermore, unlike humans, they take no breaks. In
modern manufacturing plants, one out of every ten thousand workers is a robot.
That is the reason why robots are so widely used in the automobile and
electronics factories.
In hospitals, A. I. robots can operate on patients, and help doctors to discover
damaged organs in patients. They also help experts to do research on any serious
side effects caused by the interactions of different medications on patients that
can lead to complications in treatment.
The disadvantages of A. I. are undeniable. Robots and other robotic machines are
designed and programmed by humans. Therefore, they can be attacked by
malware or viruses or disabled due to power failure. In such cases, the computer
systems will crash and A. I. devices will become useless machines. Another
disadvantage is that the computer operating systems could be taken control of by
hackers, causing misuse of robotic devices. This could potentially be dangerous to
human lives.
In conclusion, robots benefit humanity because the aim of their creation is
replace people in stressful and dangerous jobs, and make their lives better. But
relying on them completely is dangerous, because so much can go wrong with
them. In the end, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
