Possible introductions to the topic and the argumentation

The cartoon depicts a robot walking down the street, carrying a briefcase. As it passes by, the robot throws a laughing emoji at a man who is sitting on the ground. The man, dressed in a suit, appears educated, as he is surrounded by books and diplomas. He is, however, sitting on the street like a begger but instead of money, an emoji is thrown at him.
The cartoon comments on the rise of AI and suggests that AI could make traditional education and academic qualifications less valuable or even obsolete. By showing a robot mocking an educated man sitting on the ground with his diplomas, it highlights concerns about the future relevance of human knowledge and skills in a world increasingly dominated by AI.

Comment on the material

The cartoon shows two people sitting on sofa. The woman is looking at her laptop and says, "Artificial Intelligence could take over the world". The man is reading a newspaper with headlines such as "senseless wars", "conspiracy theories" "dictatorships" "climate change denial". He appears to think that AI taking over the world might not be such a bad idea as he responds, "Maybe it should".
The cartoon comments on the current state of the world by contrasting the fear of artificial intelligence with the flaws of human society. While the woman sees AI as a potential threat of humanity, the man suggests that AI taking over might actually be an improvement, given the ongoing issues.
