Original

'Al systems have already become far too complicated for the average person
to understand, let alone repair,

so there will be new roles created which will require people who can act as
intermediaries between computers

and humans." Bollegala, D. (2016, May 5). Robot revolution: rise of the
intelligent automated workforce.

Student's paraphrase

The growing use of Al in society does not preclude job growth. There are
those that argue that, instead, the use of Al will lead to new forms of
employment. For example, because machine learning systems have already

become far too complicated for ordinary people to understand or fix, there
will be new jobs that will emerge

which will require people who can act as mediators between Al systems and
humans (Bollegala, 2016).
