Modul Ajar Bahasa Inggris Kelas 12 SMA: Artificial Intelligence and Ethical Dilemmas (Discussion) (Bab 3)

Analyzing discussion texts concerning artificial intelligence disruption, evaluating multifaceted arguments (innovation vs workforce displacement and deepfake threats), mastering concessive clauses (although, even though, despite), and drafting synthetic conclusions.

Capaian dan tujuan pembelajaran

  • Peserta didik mampu menganalisis struktur teks diskusi dan mengevaluasi argumen pro-kontra terkait etika kecerdasan buatan.
  • Peserta didik mampu menggunakan klausa konsesif (concessive clauses) dan konjungsi perlawanan secara tepat.
  • Peserta didik mampu menyusun esai diskusi berimbang mengenai dampak disrupsi teknologi terhadap masa depan.

Materi pokok & uraian konsep pembelajaran

The pervasive integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automated systems into education, medicine, and corporate landscapes sparks intense ethical debates globally. Discussion texts explore these dual-perspective issues objectively, balancing technological breakthroughs with humanitarian concerns.

A sophisticated discussion essay comprises an Issue statement (framing the societal dilemma), Arguments in Favor (*proponents highlighting productivity gains, medical diagnostics, and accessibility*), Arguments Against (*critics warning against algorithmic bias, surveillance, and intellectual property erosion*), and a Balanced Synthesis.

Key grammatical devices include concessive conjunctions (*although, even though, in spite of*), contrastive transitions (*on the contrary, conversely*), and evaluative modal verbs demonstrating nuanced academic argumentation.
