Question

Activity 5 – Create a Public Awareness Poster – 20 Points

Directions:
Design a poster warning about or promoting awareness of AI and job automation.
Include:

A title or slogan that captures your message (example: “Humans vs. Machines?”).

At least three images or symbols showing the impact of AI on work.

A short paragraph (4–5 sentences) explaining your message and using facts from the reading.

Answer 1

I can make a ready-to-print poster layout and the paragraph text — but first: do you have a specific reading I should use for the facts? If so, paste it or tell me the title/author and key facts to include. If not, below is a complete poster you can use now (I used widely accepted points about automation rather than a specific assigned reading).

Poster content (ready to copy into a design program)

- Title / Slogan:
"Prepare Today for the Machines of Tomorrow"

- Visual elements (at least three images/symbols and how to arrange them):
1. Robot hand reaching toward a human hand (symbolizes collaboration and displacement) — place top‑left.
2. Factory conveyor belt with robotic arms removing boxes and one human worker looking on (symbolizes manufacturing automation) — center.
3. Line chart icon showing declining bars for routine jobs and rising bars for tech/healthcare jobs (symbolizes changing job mix) — top‑right.
4. Graduation cap or wrench + laptop icon (symbolizes retraining and new skills) — bottom-left.
5. Group of diverse people with speech bubbles (symbolizes human skills like communication and creativity that are harder to automate) — bottom-right.

- Color & design suggestions:
- Palette: high-contrast (dark navy background, bright orange or teal accents, white text).
- Fonts: bold sans-serif for title (e.g., Impact or Montserrat), readable sans-serif for body (e.g., Open Sans).
- Layout: title across the top, three main images in a row or cluster in the center, paragraph at the bottom with a call-to-action line beneath ("Learn new skills — Join a reskilling program" or similar).
- Include a QR code or short URL linking to local job-training resources.

- Short explanatory paragraph (4–5 sentences):
"Advances in artificial intelligence and automation are changing the kinds of work businesses need. Routine, repetitive tasks are the most vulnerable to automation, while roles that require creativity, interpersonal skills, and complex problem solving are more resilient. While some jobs will be displaced, new roles in technology, healthcare, and services will grow — creating opportunities for workers who reskill. Communities, employers, and policymakers must invest in training, education, and safety nets so workers can make a fair transition."

- Optional call-to-action (one line):
"Find free local reskilling programs: [insert URL or QR code]"

If you want the paragraph to specifically cite facts from your assigned reading, paste the reading or list the key facts/quotes and I’ll rewrite the paragraph to reference them directly and adjust any wording to match your assignment.
