For m 2 society, scientific technologies are amazing but humans may face a lot of challenges.
Will humans be controlled by scientific technologies in the future? Some people say “Yes”. They think humans will be under control completely. I 3 computers are implanted（植入）inside brains, things will be much worse. With the d 4 of technologies, robots have taken the place of humans in some fields and it may make some people l 5 their jobs. What's more, data centres need a large amount of energy to run. At the same time, it produces so much h 6 all the time that a great deal of water is used for cooling. All these may be the risks the scientist referred to.
However, other people don't a 7. They are hopeful about the relationship between scientific technologies and humans. They say that scientific technologies have done much for us and made our daily lives much easier. They can free people from doing housework, writing articles or e 8 making films. For example, some technologies can change words into short videos easily and make it p 9 for some common people to be directors.
Every coin has two sides. Rather than worrying about the risks of scientific technologies, we should learn to use them in a w 10 way and manage them well.

AI in Our Life
Dear teachers and students,
As we all know, AI has become more and more popular in our daily life and has changed our lives greatly. We can see all kinds of AI products in our daily life. For example, smartphones can make work and study more efficient. If we have any problems in our studies, we will ask smartphones for help. Cleaning robots can help with housework. They all bring great convenience and progress to our society.
However, with AI technology being widely used, many workers lose their jobs. Also, some students rely on AI too much so that they lose their ability to do things by themselves.
All in all, just as every coin has its two sides, AI products have both advantages and shortcomings. I believe that if we use AI correctly, it will bring us more convenient life in the future.
That's all. Thank you for your listening!
