**Passage 1**

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has sparked widespread debates about its societal implications. Proponents argue that AI will automate mundane tasks, enhancing human productivity and freeing up time for creative endeavors. Critics, however, warn of potential job displacement and ethical dilemmas, such as biases embedded in algorithms. A recent study by the International Federation of Robotics reveals that while AI could replace 85 million jobs globally by 2025, it may also create 97 million new roles.

The key lies in how societies adapt to this technological shift. Education systems must prioritize digital literacy and critical thinking to prepare workers for the evolving job market.
