Some people believe that developments in the field of artificial intelligence will
have a positive impact on our lives in the near future. Others, by contrast, are
worried that we are not prepared for a world in which computers are more
intelligent than humans. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

INTRODUCTION
The ubiquity (sự thịnh hà nh trỗ i dậ y) of technological advancements has permeated
every sphere (luồ n lá ch và o mọ i khía cạ nh) of human beings, enhancing our lives
enormously. Among which is the earth-shattering (=ground-breaking : mang tính độ t
phá ) discovery of artificial intelligence which has polarized the public opinion (chia
thà nh 2 luồ ng quan điểm đố i lậ p) on its impacts. While the development of AI is
welcomed by some people, others voice their concern about its effects. This essay shall
scrutinize (=analyze/elaborate on : phâ n tích kĩ) both views before a conclusion on why
AI is of greater benefit (be of + Noun = adjective) can be fully drawn (draw a
conclusion : đưa ra kết luậ n).

PARAGRAPH 1
Artificial intelligence, at first, glance, has been shown to exert some adverse impacts
on (exert impacts on = affect/impact something) society. It is indubitable (=inevitable :
hiển nhiên) that extortionate (=costly/prohibitive: chi phí cao) costs in implementing
(=adopting : á p dụ ng, lắ p đặ t) AI technology proves to be a hindrance
(=barrier/adversity : rà o cả n, khó khă n) to its development. Cutting-edge technology at
large requires a huge level of capital investment (đầ u tư nhiều vố n) to facilitate its
process (thú c đẩ y quá trình), which may undermine developers and users alike since
the costs regarding implementation, installation and maintenance are overly
prohibitive. Another point that discourages people from pinning their hopes on AI is the
fear of human takeover. The advancement of Artificial Intelligence, along with its
burgeoning applications, without a shadow of doubt [tuy là idiom, nhưng cấ u trú c nà y
vẫ n đượ c sử dụ ng trong bà i formal essay], renders humans demoralized (cả m thấ y nả n
lò ng, nhụ t chí = disheartened) as automatic devices appear superior to us in many areas.
To exemplify this point, the adoption of ChatGPT has partly replaced the marketing field
given its ability to generate contents at users' disposal. [Phả n biện ý cho rằ ng AI vượ t
trộ i hơn con ngườ i, bằ ng cá ch chỉ ra rằ ng AI khô ng có cả m xú c và kĩ nă ng là m việc vớ i
con ngườ i] While this thinking is mainstream, it is impractical by the fact that humans
have the ability to express emotions and feeling, which is a competitive edge over AI
devices. In certain fields with an emphasis on interpersonal skills, namely teaching,
diplomacy or mediation, humans are reportedly proven to be irreplaceable by AI, due to
our mutual compassion towards others and social communication skills.

PARAGRAPH 2
Nevertheless, I would stand by the side that the positive contribution of AI
technology substantially eclipse its downsides in terms of environment and work
output. When it comes to ecology, the application of AI in this field is of great benefit.
Having the competence to automatically control the use of fertilizer and pesticides, AI
technology can preclude [avoid : trá nh, giả m thiểu] potential consequences of overusing
[lạ m dụ ng] such noxious chemicals [chấ t hoá họ c độ c hạ i]. The scenario of precision
agriculture, where AI technologies are employed to optimize the application of
fertilizers and pesticides, will be exemplified to reinforce this point. Through the use of
sensors and machine learning algorithms, AI can analyze soil conditions, crop health,
and weather patterns in real-time. This allows for precise application of fertilizers and
pesticides, minimizing the potential of excessive usage. In traditional farming practices,
there is a risk of overusing these chemicals, leading to soil degradation and water
pollution. AI's ability to autonomously fine-tune the use of these substances not only
ensures the health of the crops but also mitigates the environmental impact associated
with conventional farming methods. The development of AI, moreover, is a facilitator in
fostering work output. Recognizing that human errors can occasionally lead to work

disruptions, AI technology incorporates a sophisticated algorithmic setup designed to
identify and rectify latent mistakes, thereby significantly augmenting (=accelerating,
enhancing : tă ng tố c, nâ ng cao) overall productivity. For example, medical professionals
often face the challenge of interpreting complex medical images, such as CT scans,
which can be time-consuming and prone to human error. AI algorithms, however, can
analyze vast amounts of medical data quickly and accurately

CONCLUSION
To summarize the whole point, while artificial intelligence is limited at some points, I
believe its drawbacks are overshadowed by its merits that appear valuable to humans
in the long run.
