II. SPEAKING

f. Study the following conversation and then practice it with a friend.

Alex: Hey, Jordan! IΓÇÖve been thinking about the moral principles we need for AI development. It feels more important than ever.

Jordan: Definitely! Ethics should be a top priority. What principles do you think matter most?

Alex: I think transparency is key. Users should understand how AI makes decisions; otherwise, itΓÇÖs hard to trust.

Jordan: Exactly! Transparency can help address bias in algorithms. When we donΓÇÖt know how a system works, biases can slip through.

Alex: Right! Fairness is crucial too. We need to ensure AI doesnΓÇÖt discriminate, which means using diverse datasets.

Jordan: And accountability is essential. If an AI system causes harm, we need to know who is responsibleΓÇödevelopers, companies, or users.

Alex: For sure! Privacy is also a big issue. With AI collecting personal data, we must protect people's privacy rights.

Jordan: Absolutely. Users should control their data and know how itΓÇÖs being used.

Alex: Lastly, I think we should focus on promoting good. AI should enhance lives, not just be efficient.

Jordan: Yes! Developers, policymakers, and ethicists need to work together on these guidelines. We have a lot of responsibility.

Alex: IΓÇÖm glad weΓÇÖre discussing this. ItΓÇÖs a big challenge, but itΓÇÖs important!

Jordan: Agreed! LetΓÇÖs keep talking about it as we move forward.

helpful. IΓÇÖll think about switching!

g. Practice: Cybersecurity Crisis Management (Role-Play)

Activity Outline:

 Preparation: Work into pairs or small groups, one student (or group) to act as an IT professional or cybersecurity expert, and the other as an employee or client whose data has been compromised in a cyber attack.

 Scenario: The employee/client has just discovered a data breach and contacts the IT expert to resolve the issue. The IT expert must explain the steps to mitigate the breach, educate the employee about future precautions (e.g., strong passwords, two-factor authentication), and discuss the company's data protection policies.

 Speaking Focus: The students will need to:

a. Use vocabulary related to cybersecurity (e.g., "malware," "phishing," "data breach").

b. Practice giving advice and instructions.

c. Role-play a professional conversation, using polite and formal language.

d. Ask and answer questions about protecting personal data and company policies.

 Debrief: After the role-play, students can reflect on their performance, discussing what cybersecurity measures they learned and how they can apply them in real life.
