AI and Creativity

Artificial Intelligence (AI) programs have attracted a lot of attention recently.
Systems such as ChatGPT have surprised people with their ability to hold conversations
and construct arguments. But there are also concerns about how this technology is being
used and whether it is harmful. People who work in creative industries are worried about
AI producing art by imitating the works of humans. Already, AI has been used to makepaintings in the style of well-known artists and songs that sound like those by famoussingers. Is this a new kind of creativity? Is it harmless fun? Or is it stealing? AI
developers say that their goal is not for AI to replace humans in the creative arts but
rather for AI to support humans and help them to create new things more easily. Theysay that AI is good at examining data and spotting patterns, but it cannot create newideas by itself.

Question: ‌Do you feel positive or negative about the use of AI technology to produce
creative arts? Give reasons for your answer.

Read the following article and do the task below.
Racial Discrimination and Healthcare in the United States

Doctor Monique Tello was talking with one of her patients, who had a worrying story
to share. The patient had visited another hospital with a painful medical condition. Insteadof treating her, the hospital staff had questioned whether she was telling the truth. They
believed she was lying about her pain to get free medicine. There was nothing to suggest
the patient was telling lies. She was a kind middle-aged lady, who had never been
involved in crime. She believed that the poor treatment she received was because she isBlack. A number of studies suggest that she was right.
Even though all doctors must make a promise to treat patients equally, it seems that
not all patients receive equal standards of treatment. How is this possible? Several
research studies carried out in the United States suggest that the causes are due to lackof racial equality in society and prejudice among medical staff.
This lack of racial equality in the U.S. is well-known. Black and Hispanic * families
have much lower average incomes than other ethnic * groups. They are also less likely tohave health insurance. This means that it is more difficult for them to receive medical
treatment, and a greater percentage of their income has to be spent on healthcare (20%for Black families, compared with 11% for the average U.S. family). Another disadvantage
is that areas with large non-White populations are much more likely to face a shortage ofdoctors. Because of this, residents find it harder to receive care even when they canafford it.
A second issue is known as implicit bias * . This is an unconscious tendency to makenegative assumptions about other groups in society. It has been shown that medical
professionals are just as likely as the general population to have implicit biases aboutother ethnic groups, and this can affect the treatment they provide. One study showedthat many White medical students have an incorrect belief that Black patients can endure
pain more easily than patients of other ethnic groups. This may explain why patients withdarker skin tones tend to receive lower doses of pain medicine than White patients. The
same assumption may also explain why Black patients are less likely to receive
emergency treatment or be admitted to hospital than White people.
These differences in healthcare provision can have serious consequences. Black
Americans are 28% more likely to have a chronic * illness than White Americans of thesame age. Similarly, the infant mortality rate * for Black Americans is more than doublethat of White babies, and Black mothers are 3-4 times more likely to die during childbirth.
The results of these studies are helping to show that racial discrimination can affectmedical treatment, even when the healthcare workers are not aware of their own
prejudice. The U.S. healthcare industry is now making efforts to deal with this problem.
