Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the Question s.

 There has been much debate over the past few decades concerning fears that automation will lead to robots replacing human workers on a massive scale.

 The increasing use of robotics, computers and artificial intelligence is a reality, but its full implications are far from cut and dried. Some forecasts present the future in a utopian way, claiming that robots will take over the tedious heavy work thus freeing up human time and potential, allowing for more creativity and innovation. At the other end of spectrum are those who foresee an employment apocalypse, predicting that almost fifty percent of all American jobs could vanish within the next few decades. Former Microsoft chairman Bill Gates states that in 20 years robots could be in place in a number of job categories, particularly those at lower end of the scale in terms of skills.

 The bottom line is that while the future is always uncertain, robots are a fixture of our society, which is not going to disappear. As with the Industrial Revolution, where machines were utilized in many tasks in place of manual laborers and social upheaval followed, the Digital Revolution is likely to place robots in various jobs. In spite of that, many of today’s jobs were not in existence before the Industrial Revolution, such as those of programmers, engineers and data scientists. This leads other experts to criticize this alarmist approach of robot scare-mongering, which is invariably compared to the 19th-century “Luddites”. This group was textile workers who feared being displaced by machines and resorted to violence, burning down factories and destroying industrial equipment – their rejection of inevitable progress has come to symbolize mindless ignorance.

 Needless to say, exactly what new kinds of jobs might exist in the future is difficult to envision at present. Therefore, the crux of the issue is not whether jobs will be lost, but whether the creation of new vacancies will outpace the ever-increasing number of losses and what skills will be required in the future.

 It is clearly not all doom and gloom, as demand for employees with skills in data analysis, coding, computer science, artificial intelligence and human-machine interface is rising and will continue to do so. Furthermore, the demand for skills in jobs where humans surpass computers, such as those involving care, creativity and innovative craftmanship, are likely to increase considerably. Ultimately, the key lies in the adaptation of the workforces, through appropriate education and training, to keep pace with our world’s technological progress.

What is the modern-day view of the Luddites?

A. They managed to protect their jobs.

B. Their refusing to adapt to change is seen in a negative way.

C. Their adapting to new technology saved their jobs.

D. Their actions are inspiring many workers today.

Dịch bài đọc:

Đã có nhiều cuộc tranh luận trong vài thập kỷ qua liên quan đến lo ngại rằng tự động hóa sẽ dẫn đến việc robot thay thế nhân công trên quy mô lớn.

Việc sử dụng robot, máy vi tính và trí thông minh nhân tạo ngày càng tăng là một thực tế, nhưng tác động đầy đủ của nó là không hề đơn giản. Một số dự báo thể hiện tương lai một cách không tưởng, tuyên bố rằng robot sẽ tiếp quản công việc nặng nhọc, do đó giải phóng thời gian và tiềm năng của con người, cho phép sáng tạo và đổi mới nhiều hơn. Phía quan điểm ngược lại là những người dự đoán rằng gần như năm mươi phần trăm của tất cả các công việc của người Mỹ có thể biến mất trong vài thập kỷ tới. Cựu chủ tịch của Microsoft, Bill Gates, nói rằng trong vòng 20 năm, các robot có thể thay thế nhiều loại việc làm, đặc biệt là những loại ở quy mô kỹ năng cấp thấp hơn.

Điểm mấu chốt là trong khi tương lai là luôn luôn không chắc chắn, robot là một vật cố định của xã hội chúng ta, mà sẽ không biến mất. Cũng như cuộc cách mạng công nghiệp, nơi mà máy móc được sử dụng trong nhiều nhiệm vụ thay cho lao động thủ công và biến động xã hội theo sau, Cuộc cách mạng kỹ thuật số có thể đặt robot vào nhiều công việc khác nhau. Mặc dù vậy, nhiều công việc của ngày nay không tồn tại trước cuộc cách mạng công nghiệp, chẳng hạn như những người lập trình, kỹ sư và nhà khoa học dữ liệu. Điều này dẫn các chuyên gia khác để chỉ trích cách tiếp cận báo động lan truyền nỗi sợ robot, mà là luôn luôn so với "những người phản đối công nghệ" ở thế kỷ 19. Nhóm này là những công nhân dệt may sợ bị thay đổi bởi máy móc và dùng đến bạo lực, đốt cháy các nhà máy và phá hủy thiết bị công nghiệp - sự từ chối của họ về tiến bộ không thể tránh khỏi đã trở thành biểu tượng cho sự thiếu hiểu biết vô ý thức.

Không cần phải nói, chính xác những loại công việc mới có thể tồn tại trong tương lai là khó hình dung hiện nay. Do đó, mấu chốt của vấn đề không phải là liệu công việc có bị mất hay không, nhưng liệu việc tạo ra các vị trí tuyển dụng mới có vượt quá số bị mất ngày càng tăng và những kỹ năng nào sẽ được yêu cầu trong tương lai.

Rõ ràng không phải tất cả là đều là bi quan, vì nhu cầu về nhân viên có kỹ năng phân tích dữ liệu, mã hóa, khoa học máy tính, trí tuệ nhân tạo và giao diện người-máy đang tăng lên và sẽ tiếp tục như vậy. Hơn nữa, nhu cầu về kỹ năng trong công việc mà con người vượt qua máy tính, chẳng hạn như những việc liên quan đến chăm sóc, sáng tạo và nghề thủ công sáng tạo, có khả năng tăng đáng kể. Cuối cùng, chìa khóa nằm trong sự thích nghi của lực lượng lao động, thông qua giáo dục và đào tạo phù hợp, để bắt kịp với tiến bộ công nghệ của thế giới.

 There has been much debate over the past few decades concerning fears that automation will lead to robots replacing human workers on a massive scale.

 The increasing use of robotics, computers and artificial intelligence is a reality, but its full implications are far from cut and dried. Some forecasts present the future in a utopian way, claiming that robots will take over the tedious heavy work thus freeing up human time and potential, allowing for more creativity and innovation. At the other end of spectrum are those who foresee an employment apocalypse, predicting that almost fifty percent of all American jobs could vanish within the next few decades. Former Microsoft chairman Bill Gates states that in 20 years robots could be in place in a number of job categories, particularly those at lower end of the scale in terms of skills.

 The bottom line is that while the future is always uncertain, robots are a fixture of our society, which is not going to disappear. As with the Industrial Revolution, where machines were utilized in many tasks in place of manual laborers and social upheaval followed, the Digital Revolution is likely to place robots in various jobs. In spite of that, many of today’s jobs were not in existence before the Industrial Revolution, such as those of programmers, engineers and data scientists. This leads other experts to criticize this alarmist approach of robot scare-mongering, which is invariably compared to the 19th-century “Luddites”. This group was textile workers who feared being displaced by machines and resorted to violence, burning down factories and destroying industrial equipment – their rejection of inevitable progress has come to symbolize mindless ignorance.

 Needless to say, exactly what new kinds of jobs might exist in the future is difficult to envision at present. Therefore, the crux of the issue is not whether jobs will be lost, but whether the creation of new vacancies will outpace the ever-increasing number of losses and what skills will be required in the future.

 It is clearly not all doom and gloom, as demand for employees with skills in data analysis, coding, computer science, artificial intelligence and human-machine interface is rising and will continue to do so. Furthermore, the demand for skills in jobs where humans surpass computers, such as those involving care, creativity and innovative craftmanship, are likely to increase considerably. Ultimately, the key lies in the adaptation of the workforces, through appropriate education and training, to keep pace with our world’s technological progress.
