What are the benefits and risks of Gene Therapy?
Pro Arguments:
• Can treat or cure genetic diseases (e.g., cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia).
• Offers personalized medical treatments tailored to the patient’s genetics.
• Improves quality of life for people with previously untreatable conditions.
Con Arguments:
• Very expensive and not accessible to everyone.
• Unpredictable long-term side effects (e.g., unintended genetic changes).
• Ethical concerns: Should we alter genes, especially in embryos?
How could Artificial Intelligence change the future of work?
Pro Arguments:
• Al can automate repetitive tasks, freeing humans to focus on creativity and innovation.
• Increases productivity and reduces human error.
• Creates new job opportunities in Al development and management.
Con Arguments:
• Al might replace millions of jobs, especially in transport, manufacturing, and retail.
• Not everyone has access to Al education, increasing inequality.
• Over-reliance on Al could make people lose critical problem-solving skills.
What are the positive and negative aspects of using Al in healthcare
Pro Arguments:
• Al improves diagnosis accuracy by analyzing medical data faster than doctors.
• Can develop personalized treatment plans for patients.
• Helps detect diseases early, saving lives (e.g., cancer detection).
Con Arguments:
• Patients might distrust Al-based diagnoses over human doctors.
• Data privacy concerns: Sensitive medical information could be misused.
• High costs of implementing Al technology make it inaccessible in poor regions.
How can E-Textiles (electronic textiles) improve daily life, and what challenges do they face?
Pro Arguments:
• Helpful in health monitoring: smart shirts track heart rate, stress, and temperature.
• Enhance sports performance by analyzing physical movements.
• Allow for creative designs in fashion (e.g., light-up or adaptive clothing).
Con Arguments:
• E-Textiles are expensive and not affordable for everyone.
• Difficult to recycle, raising environmental concerns.
• Electronics in clothing might fail due to wear and tear, reducing reliability.
Should Artificial Intelligence be used in military applications?
Pro Arguments:
• Al can help identify threats more quickly and improve defense systems.
• Reduces the need for human soldiers in dangerous situations.
• Could lead to better decision-making in high-pressure scenarios.
Con Arguments:
• Risk of Al systems malfunctioning and causing unintended damage.
• Raises ethical questions: Should machines decide who lives or dies?

What impact will Artificial Intelligence have on education?
Pro Arguments:
• Al can personalize learning, adapting lessons to individual students’ needs.
• Automated tools save teachers’ time (e.g., grading tests).
• Expands access to education globally through Al-powered tools and online platforms.
Con Arguments:
• Students may become over-reliant on Al, losing problem-solving skills.
• Not all schools can afford Al tools, widening the education gap.
• Privacy concerns arise when Al systems collect student data.
How might Artificial Intelligence change human relationships and society?
Pro Arguments:
• Al can improve communication through translation tools and virtual assistants.
• Helps people with disabilities live more independently.
• Creates opportunities for emotional support (e.g., Al companions).
Con Arguments:
• Overuse of Al could reduce real human connection and social skills.
• Al companions may replace human relationships, causing isolation.
• Society might rely too much on Al, losing emotional depth in interactions.
