Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 3 to 7.

It is very difficult to predict what will happen in the future, not least because technology continues to evolve. Research by the International Labour Organization (ILO) does not suggest that there will be a “jobs apocalypse”. There are many tasks that AI cannot replace or where it would not be cost-effective to replace a human. Many occupations considered “essential” during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as emergency medical technicians or food preparers, involve work that cannot be automated.

According to ILO research on the effects of generative AI on the labour market, at most 2.3% of jobs worldwide have the potential to be fully automated.

Moreover, this figure does not take into account the many jobs that will be created thanks to new technology. Twenty years ago, there were no social media managers; thirty years ago, there were very few web designers. Just think of the video rental stores that existed 25 years ago and how they have gradually given way to cell phone repair stores. (I) No amount of data modelling could have predicted the wide range of occupations that have emerged in recent decades. (II). This example shows that technological change reshapes employment rather than eliminating it entirely. (III) We should also remember that many systems that appear automated are not truly independent of human labour. (IV)

In the case of AI, millions of workers are required to train and verify data, often under poor working conditions. In other situations, paid employees are replaced by unpaid customer labour, such as through self-checkout machines in grocery stores.
