"Artificial Intelligence: A Double-Edged Sword"

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has transitioned from a futuristic concept to an integral part of daily life. From virtual assistants and recommendation algorithms to advanced robotics and autonomous vehicles, AI has permeated various sectors, promising unprecedented levels of efficiency and innovation. Proponents argue that AI has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by enabling faster diagnoses, improve education through personalized learning experiences, and address global challenges such as climate change through predictive modeling. However, the rapid integration of AI into society has not been without controversy. Critics raise alarms over ethical dilemmas stemming from its deployment. Concerns include the displacement of millions of jobs as automation replaces human labor, the erosion of privacy due to pervasive surveillance technologies, and the potential misuse of AI in creating deepfakes or autonomous weapons. Moreover, there are fears that AI systems, if left unchecked, could exacerbate existing inequalities by embedding biases into algorithms or concentrating power in the hands of a few corporations and governments.

Adding to these challenges is the looming question of control. Experts debate whether AI, in its pursuit of optimizing tasks, could surpass human oversight and act in ways that conflict with human values. This raises the specter of existential risks, as advanced AI could inadvertently or deliberately cause harm on a global scale. While international organizations have begun discussions on regulating AI development, a global consensus remains elusive, leaving many unanswered questions about the future of humanity in an AI-driven world.

(Attributed to an Unknown Source)

Based on the text, select the CORRECT alternative.

A

The text presents AI as a universally beneficial tool, emphasizing its capacity to eliminate global inequalities.

B

Critics are primarily concerned with the limited application of AI in healthcare and education.

C

The text highlights both the transformative potential and the significant risks associated with AI integration into society.

D

One of the main challenges of AI, according to the text, is its inability to optimize tasks effectively without human intervention.

E

International agreements have already established comprehensive regulations to mitigate the risks of AI development.

Language plays a central role in shaping the cultural and social identity of individuals and communities. As a medium for communication, it also serves as a vehicle for transmitting traditions, values, and narratives across generations.

Based on this relationship, select the CORRECT alternative.

A

An individual's cultural identity is completely unrelated to the language they use, as language is merely a system of communication.

B

The use of a global language, such as English, always results in the complete cultural assimilation of local communities into Anglo-American culture.

C

Language functions as a medium for cultural expression, allowing a community's values, traditions, and narratives to be transmitted and preserved.

D

E

In bilingual contexts, speakers' cultural identities are always uniform, without influence from the dominant language.

Read the following excerpt:

“ELF is now the most common use of English in the world (Jenkins 2007), so a study of its linguistic features and the ways it allows people to achieve successful intercultural communication offers insights about international communication and also guidelines for English language teaching. (...) Although ELF shares some grammatical and phonological features with New Englishes (Deterding and Kirkpatrick 2006), ELF speakers generally avoid the use of local lexis and idioms (Kirkpatrick 2007b). This is a key distinction between World Englishes and ELF, as one fundamental role of World Englishes lies in their ability to reflect local phenomena and cultural values, often through the use of borrowings from local languages. In contrast, this is avoided in ELF communication, where the fundamental role is to facilitate cross-cultural communication”

Kirkpatrick and Deterding, p. 382. In: SIMPSON, J. (Ed.) The Routledge Handbook of Applied

Linguistics. London: Routledge, 2011.)

In relation to New Englishes and English as a Lingua Franca (ELF), it is correct to state that

A

New Englishes are localized varieties of English that develop in specific regions, while ELF is used as a common language between speakers from different language backgrounds.

B

English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) is spoken exclusively in former British colonies, just like New Englishes.

C

New Englishes and ELF aim to replicate Standard English as closely as possible to ensure uniformity across speakers.

D

New Englishes must follow the grammar and vocabulary of British or American English to be considered correct, whereas ELF allows more flexibility.

Read the following excerpt about the Communicative Methodology:

“This redefinition of goals had a knock-on effect in terms of methodology: the focus on communicating messages – as opposed to rehearsing structural patterns – created the need for activities that encouraged some kind of meaningful exchange, as in information- gap tasks, and, in order to practice functional language, role plays and simulations became standard practice. And since communicative competence implies the capacity to communicate one’s meanings irrespective of formal accuracy, fluency was prioritized, reinforcing the trend towards incorporating less-controlled production activities within the PPP format. For similar reasons, the use of authentic reading and listening materials was promoted, and classroom procedures for minimizing the difficulties of these – such as the use of skimming and scanning strategies – became commonplace “

THORNBURY, 2011, p. 188-189. In: SIMPSON, J. (Ed.) The Routledge Handbook of Applied

Linguistics. London: Routledge, 2011.
