First, Dr Han, could you please tell our audience what you do?Dr Han: Certainly. Im a computer scientist. Host: And could you please tell us your prediction?Dr Han: Yes, well, I forecast that computers will be cleverer than us in the future. I think that people will also be programming computers to think like humans.Host: Thats very interesting, but arent you worried that such computers would be dangerous?TapescriptDr Han: Not at all. This is because well be programming them to not think in ways that may harm humans. In fact, well also be creating machines to help people internally. For example, I think scientists will put some small intelligent machines, called nanobots, inside our bodies to increase our abilities. Host: Wow! That would make each one of us superhuman! And Vincent, could you please tell us about your job?Vincent Black: Certainly. Im an architect. I design buildings.Host: And what is your prediction about the buildings of the future?Vincent Black: Its about the cities of the future, actually. I believe that cities floating on water are part of the worlds future.TapescriptHost: Oh, really? What might make us want to do that?Vincent Black: Yes.

Could you please give us more details?Vincent Black: Sure. Well, I ve developed a plan by designing a city that borrows many ideas from the _ _ lily, a flower that floats on water.

More labor force can be freed from working.More and more workers will be out of work.People will learn more about how to create a machine and how to operate it to help work.More nanobots will be created to help doctors to find out the root of a disease and make operations more accurately.New kinds of virus may appear.The nanobots may bring more peoples life back.Air pollution will be decreasing. There will be glaciers again in the Arctic Ocean.There may be other threats to the Polar bears.People can live in harmony with the Polar bears.People can use the AI to do most of the daily chores.AI may be programmed to do something evil.More and more people can be free to do work of creating new things.More animals even human beings will be cloned.Cloning may result in disorder on the earth.More lives will be saved and more diseases can be cured.T TH HA AN NK KS S
