From the information given in the second paragraph of the text, it is correct to assume that the origins of the word “robots” had to do with the slavery system.
The author suggests that the philosophical question behind the development of AI plays a more central role in the AI related debate than the advanced technology it demands.
The text states that the idea of developing human-like minds in non-human artefacts has been part of fictional production for many decades.
The first sentence of the first paragraph would still keep both its original meaning and its grammar correctness if the word “might” were replaced with can.
The word “It”, in the beginning of the second sentence of the text, refers to “some artifact which has a mind in the same sense that we have minds”.

Politics of attributing extreme events to climate change
Climate change shapes weather events. However, describing it as the cause of disasters can be misleading, since disasters are caused by pre-existing fragilities and inequalities on the ground. Attribution is not neutral. Hence, analytic frames that attribute disaster to climate can divert attention from place-based vulnerabilities and their sociopolitical causes. While politicians may blame climate change, the public may hold the government accountable for inadequate investments in flood or drought prevention. To be strategic and moral, framing choices must therefore be sensitive to context and to how the values implicit within analytic frames about the causes of disasters shape policy responses. Such sensitivity requires multicausal analysis of weather-linked disasters to reduce the damages. Through examples from around the world, especially Brazil, we discuss how and why climate-centric disaster framing can erase from view—and, thus, from policy agendas—the very socioeconomic and political factors that centrally cause vulnerability and suffering in weather extremes.

HOW IMPORTANT IS TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION?
Technology provides students with easy-toaccess information, accelerated learning, and fun opportunities to practice what they learn.
By Rambabu Dixit
1.The Meaning of Education
Knowledge, learning, and information: the word "education" is used in the English language and is derived from the Latin word "educatum" which means "teaching work." Some great scholars have attributed its origin to "educare" which means "to raise."
1.a. Narrow Meaning
This is the education given to the child in the school. The place, duration, curriculum, etc. of such education is fixed. In this sense, the person's school life is their education. Mackenzie has written: "In a narrow sense, education refers to the conscious efforts made for the development and promotion of our powers."
1.b. Broader Meaning
In this sense, education is a lifelong process by which a person develops their overall personality, social interactions, and their ability to adjust to their environment.
2.The Meaning of Technology
The use of scientific inventions, rules, principles, and processes in different aspects of life comes under the use of technology. Many types of technologies exist, including educational technology. In other words, the application of scientific principles to different areas of life is called technology. Therefore, when scientific, orderly, and well-organized knowledge is used to do daily work, then it is given the name of technology. The word "technology" is usually associated with machines, but it is not necessary that machines should always be used.
3.The Meaning of Educational Technology
When scientific, technical, and psychological principles and methods are properly used to make the teaching/learning process easy, simple, efficient, and effective, it comes under the umbrella term “educational technology”. Today, scientific and technological inventions have affected every aspect of human life. Education, teaching, and learning have also been greatly affected by them. In the field of education, as a result of the latest research, discoveries, and investigations, such techniques (i.e., skills) have been developed, which are helping in achieving the objectives of education. These competencies and skills, which are especially based on science, are given the name of educational technology.

Text 1
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rarely out of the news - especially during these challenging times, when AI has been suggested as a tool to help end the COVID-19 pandemic. However, many people do not have a full understanding of what AI actually means, how it works, or how it might help.
Today UNESCO and Ericsson are proud to launch the Teaching AI for K-12 Portal. This portal will provide a repository of resources for all educators around the world. The aim is to help curriculum developers and teachers to better understand the promise and implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and to develop AI curriculum for, and teach AI to, students in grades K-12 (ages 5 to 18 years old).
