- [1](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/ai/25-future-fears-rules/1/) — She is partly right: every big invention seemed strange at first, and people got used to it, but the wise ones still kept an eye on the risks.
- [2](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/ai/25-future-fears-rules/2/) — Some fears are close to home, like a parent's job changing.
- [3](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/ai/25-future-fears-rules/3/) — Some questions are deep and still open, like "Will AI ever have feelings?" Nobody knows for sure, and today's chatbots only imitate feelings in words.
- [4](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/ai/25-future-fears-rules/4/) — Who decides the rules?
- [5](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/ai/25-future-fears-rules/5/) — Not one person: governments, companies, scientists and ordinary people all have a say, through laws, votes and choices.
- [6](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/ai/25-future-fears-rules/6/) — Some things only people can give, like a hug when you fall over.

- [8](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/ai/25-future-fears-rules/8/) — Some jobs will change because of AI, and people may learn new skills; talking about such worries with family helps.
- [9](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/ai/25-future-fears-rules/9/) — AI can help the climate by improving weather prediction, saving energy and helping design better batteries, but it also uses a lot of energy.
- [10](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/ai/25-future-fears-rules/10/) — People still love stories written by people, with real experiences behind them, though some writers worry about fewer jobs.
- [11](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/ai/25-future-fears-rules/11/) — Nobody knows for sure whether AI will ever have feelings; scientists and philosophers argue about it, and today's chatbots imitate feelings in words.
- [12](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/ai/25-future-fears-rules/12/) — Thinking about the future, for example by writing letters to it, helps us decide what we want now.
- [13](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/ai/25-future-fears-rules/13/) — Governments, companies, scientists and ordinary people all have a say in the rules for AI, through laws, votes and choices.
- [14](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/ai/25-future-fears-rules/14/) — Teachers do much more than explain facts: they care, notice and encourage, which robots cannot really do.
- [15](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/ai/25-future-fears-rules/15/) — Sports teams already use AI to analyse games and players' movements; too much analysing can take the fun out of a game.
- [16](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/ai/25-future-fears-rules/16/) — Every big invention, such as the telephone, seemed strange or scary at first and later became normal.
- [17](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/ai/25-future-fears-rules/17/) — Getting used to an invention does not mean ignoring its real risks.
- [18](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/ai/25-future-fears-rules/18/) — Many future jobs will be about making technology fair and safe for people; maths, science, writing and kindness all help.
