Many of us will have had that sense of there just not being enough hours in the day to do everything we need to do. Tasks that should take only a few minutes can stretch into hours, all while other work mounts up.
For most, the solution is to work later into the evening or even over the weekend, which leaves many of us feeling exhausted, stressed and burned out. But what if working less were the key to getting more done? It's an easy trap to fall into - it's drilled into us that working solidly for eight or more hours will increase our output and impress our colleagues and managers. But in reality, even the traditional nine-to-five workday is not conducive to productivity.

1. Read the extract consisting of 3 paragraphs.
Futurist Ray Kurzweil has made a host of predictions - some inspirational, others down right alarming. One of them is the sci-fi-sounding notion that suggests artificial intelligence (Al) will one day become more powerful than human intelligence and improve itself at an exponential rate, otherwise known as 'the singularity'. It's far from the majority view, but few would deny that Al is only going to get more powerful. So, like in the case of gene editing, the tech and Al community will need to consider the ethical and societal implications of their work as Al comes to shape more realms of our life, from healthcare to financial markets. As for end-of-the-world extinction scenarios, it's frankly not likely - but that shouldn't obscure the facthat Al is poised to change how we live and work in profound ways. It is also not impossible that specific Als could malfunction or run out of their creators control, leading to very human disasters, where lives are lost or millions of dollars are wiped out.
