You have found a journal article for your assignment; the abstract of the article is below.
Read the abstract and answer the question below.
"There are increasing policy debates on the efficacy of universal basic income (UBI) within both political and academic circles. These debates have emerged as a response to failures of the welfare state on the one hand, and the threat to employment posed by increasing automation on the other. While issues surrounding introduction and maintenance of the UBI have been explored at some length in sociological and political science literature, economics as a discipline has been slow to enter this discussion. This paper applies a new institutional economic framework to explore the effects of UBI on the economy as well as broader social effects. It shows that while the costs of implementation and the threat of work disincentives are greater than has previously been indicated, the benefits of introducing a UBI far outweigh the drawbacks, particularly when an ongoing decrease in manual and middle class jobs due to automation is assumed. Implications for welfare and social policy are explored."

"This study seeks to explore the educational affordances and constraints of English language teacher robots in Korea. With small but increasing use of AIs in service industries, there is a growing literature on the impact of robots and AI on everyday social interactions in a number of contexts; however, the effects of robots and AIs in educational contexts remain relatively unexplored. This study used ethnographic means to explore the impact of English language teacher robots in 3 primary school settings in Korea. It combined ethnographic non-participant observation with interviews to look at how language teaching could be technologically supported, drawing on the workplace studies of Heath and Luff (2000) to look at how the use of technologically-mediated language instruction offered a new range of affordances and constraints to both students and teachers. Implications for language pedagogy and curriculum development are explored."

1.4.1.3, Compare the original with a student's paraphrase below.
Original
"AI systems have already become far too complicated for the average person to understand, let alone repair, so there will be new roles created which will require people who can act as intermediaries between computers and humans." (Bollegala, D. (2016, May 5). Robot revolution: rise of the intelligent automated workforce. theconversation.com. Retrieved from http://theconversation.com/robot-revolution-rise-of-the-intelligent-automated-workforce-58252)
Student's paraphrase:
The growing use of AI in society does not preclude job growth. There are those that argue that, instead, the use of AI will lead to new forms of employment. For example, because machine learning systems have already become far too complicated for ordinary people to understand or fix, there will be new jobs that will emerge which will require people who can act as mediators between AI systems and humans (Bollegala, 2016).

My name is Kosta Poulos and I am a student in your APPSCI 102 course Exercise Science 2. I am writing to inform you that I will unfortunately be late to tomorrow's tutorial. I am a member of the Cronulla Sharks under-21s third grade side, and we are currently 2nd on the league table. However, we have an important game on Saturday with the no. 1 team, and because of this we will have a late training session the night before. The training session will run late, and I have never been good at waking up early, so I will need to sleep in. As a result I will be late to the tutorial. If there's anything important that I will miss, could you please let me know somehow. Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards,
Kosta"
