Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Work

Introduction

In the current era, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a disruptive force in the world of
work. AI is a set of technologies that includes machine learning, natural language
processing, and automation, among others. These technologies are transforming how we
work and raising important questions about the future of employment.

AI has already demonstrated its ability to automate repetitive and routine tasks in industries
such as manufacturing and customer service. This automation has increased efficiency and
reduced costs for many businesses.

Impact of AI on Employment

While task automation can increase efficiency, it also presents challenges. Some workers in
routine jobs may face the threat of job obsolescence. In certain industries, certain jobs may
disappear altogether. However, it's not all pessimism. As AI becomes more sophisticated, it
also creates new jobs related to AI. The demand for AI experts, software developers, data
scientists, and AI ethics professionals is constantly growing. Training and adaptability will be
key for workers in this new era. As AI takes over repetitive tasks, workers can focus on
activities that require human skills such as creativity, ethical decision-making, and empathy.

Examples of Artificial Intelligence

Practical uses of Artificial Intelligence in EFL

Conversation practice Students can engage in conversational exchanges with LMs to

improve their speaking and listening skills.
Vocabulary development LMs can provide examples of vocabulary in context, and offer
explanations and definitions.
Writing practice LMs can help students improve their writing skills by giving them writing
prompts and feedback.
Grammar instruction LMs can provide explanations of grammar rules and exemplify their
correct usage.
What problems can AI pose?
While AI will certainly revolutionise education in many ways, it can also pose some problems
that educators need to be aware of. Here are some of the main challenges for educators.
Problems Lack of Personalisation

-Lack of Persona
-lBias and Discriminationisation
-Dependence on Technology

How can we help students use AI?

As Language Models improve, it can be helpful for EFL teachers to adopt these tools and
help their students learn how to use them effectively. Here are some practical ideas.

ideas to help students use ai tools effectively

Introduce AI Keep Adopt AI tools that can help students with their language learning:
translation software, speech recognition software, or writing tools.

up-to-datetools Teachers need to have their fingers on the pulse and identify new tools and
resources that can benefit their students.

Provide support Teach students these tools and offer tips or step-by-step instructions to
use them more efficiently. Monitor their work and give feedback.

Encourage critical thinking Encourage students to question the accuracy and fairness of
AI-powered writing tools or translation apps, and focus on the context.
