Key concepts in this essay

technological displacement and workforce adaptation
distributed vs concentrated benefits
risk mitigation and governance
human agency in technology adoption

Pitfalls the model essay avoids

Presenting a binary (robots are good OR dangerous) when impact varies by context (factory automation vs care robots have different implications)
Discussing benefits (efficiency, safety) without exploring costs (job displacement, inequality), or vice versa
Weak own opinion that simply picks one side instead of engaging with tensions
