INGLÊS

TEXTO
Tech-savvy, community-minded and intensely pragmatic, Koreans might be more
eager than many markets to view artificial intelligence as part of the solution, not the problem.
South Korea, along with its easterly neighbour Japan, has for many years been known for its
cutting-edge intelligent designs, having already deployed robotic teachers, industrial
manufacturing workers and service staff. Together, they make up a futuristic workforce where
autonomous devices are stepping in to fill human roles.
“In our view, artificial intelligence, robots and related solutions are not just new
gadgets, but key technologies to support humans,” said Jae-myoung Hong, senior engineer in
LG’s Smart Solutions Division. “In some cases, robots may perform jobs that are too dangerous
or too complicated for regular workers.”
In 2016, South Korea sold more than 41,000 robots, second most on the planet,
according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). That’s nearly half as many as China,
which is more than 25 times as populous and 95 times as big. In fact, South Korea has the
highest level of industrial robot density in the world. In the manufacturing industry, there are
631 robot workers for every 10,000 human employees, reports IFR. And in the automotive
industry, 2,145 for every 10,000.
Some Koreans do feel concerned this will result in fewer jobs for themselves, but in the
minds of many, the concern stops there. Mass media anticipated many Korean people would
lose their jobs. However, that was it.
Meanwhile in the US, consider the doomsday scenarios depicted in mainstream
cinema, from The Terminator to The Matrix to I, Robot, and by the apocalyptic discourse of some of the nation’s tech leaders, like Elon Musk. (According to a recent Pew Research survey, 72% of Americans are in fact very or somewhat worried about the future of automation.)
Future applications of robotics innovation could also make it possible for South Korea
to not only replace a workforce that’s rapidly aging and retiring, but also care for it. And, perhaps even more urgently, artificial intelligence could play an increasingly important role in defending the deployment of semi-autonomous sentries like the SGR-A1.

Text exercises (answer in English):
1) Are South Koreans worried about robots taking their job vacancies? Why (yes or no)?

2) What is the opinion of the people from the USA about automation?

3) What is the opinion of Jae-myoung Hong according to robots and technology?

4) How the text describe South Korea and Japan regarding technology?

Answer 1

Resposta:

1) Os sul-coreanos estão preocupados com a possibilidade de robôs ocuparem suas vagas de emprego? Por que (sim ou não)?

No. Because the South Koreans see artificial intelligence as a collaboration for futuristic and more profitable work. For them, robots and technologies are essential to support workers and even perform more dangerous jobs.

Não. Pois os Sul-coreanos enxergam a inteligência artificial como colaboração para um trabalho futurista e mais rentável. Para eles, robôs e tecnologias são essenciais para apoiar os trabalhadores e até realizar trabalhos mais perigosos.

2)Qual é a opinião das pessoas dos EUA sobre a automação?

Americans are in fact very or slightly concerned about the future of automation.

Os americanos estão de fato muito ou um pouco preocupados com o futuro da automação.

3)  Qual é a opinião de Jae-myoung Hong de acordo com robôs e tecnologia?

For ae-myoung Hong, artificial intelligence, robots and related solutions are not just new  gadgets, but essential technologies to support humans. for him, in some cases, robots can perform jobs that are very dangerous  or too complicated for regular workers.

Para ae-myoung Hong, inteligência artificial, robôs e soluções relacionadas não são apenas novos  gadgets, mas tecnologias essenciais para apoiar os humanos. para ele, em alguns casos, os robôs podem realizar trabalhos que são muito perigosos  ou muito complicado para trabalhadores regulares.

4) Como o texto descreve a Coreia do Sul e o Japão no que diz respeito à tecnologia?

For many years they have been known for their cutting-edge intelligent projects , having already deployed robotic, industrial teachers manufacturing workers and service personnel. Together, they form a futuristic workforce where  Standalone devices are taking action to fill human functions.

Por muitos anos eles são conhecidos por seus projetos inteligentes de ponta, já tendo implantado professores industriais robóticos trabalhadores de manufatura e pessoal de serviço.Juntos, eles formam uma força de trabalho futurista onde  dispositivos autônomos estão agindo para preencher as funções humanas.
