The article talks about the fact that 50% of all american workers are worried

that ai artificial intelligence will take their job what about you do you think

that ai could replace your job in the future do you think

that your job is in danger

because of ai the title of the article is companies keep

when you're using these new words okay let's get started with the first part of the article tech executives economists

and other experts say that ai could automate mundane and tedious tasks

and also create new roles tech companies that are cutting jobs

and leaning more on artificial intelligence are also disrupting themselves let's

look at the word mundane it says ai could automate mundane and tedious tasks mundane means boring or repetitive tasks.

If something is mund and not interesting.

For can say washing dishes c job became mundane after we can say she got tired

mundane tasks every day to how some other people feel like things are just focusing on something so mundane and so unimportant.

Even experts spend most of the time doing mundane repetitive tasks.

Let's look at tedious, mundane and tedious tasks.

And if something is tedious, it takes a long time and it's boring.

And we can say copying data by hand is a tedious job.

That lecture was long and tedious.

It was a tedious task to clean every corner of the house.

Is your work tedious?

Let's listen to how some other people used it.

This can be a very slow, frustrating, tedious process.

Well, this is a tedious, incredibly time-consuming process.

The labs were so tedious, I said, this is not for me.

So I switched to English.

Let's look at leaning.

Cutting jobs and leaning more on artificial intelligence.

That means they're depending on it more.

To lean on is to depend on or to rely on something or someone.

For example, I can say, I can always lean on my friends for support.

Many people lean on technology to help them work.

Do you have someone in your life that you can lean on?

And you can tell your friends, you can lean on me.

And that means I'm always available for you.

I'm here if you need me you can lean on me

and do you know the name of this very famous tower

it's the leaning tower of pisa let's look at the next paragraph at salesforce a software company

that helps businesses manage customer relationships chief executive mark benioff said last week

that ai is already doing 30 to 50 percent of the

company's work other tech leaders have chimed in earlier this year

anthropic an ai startup flashed a big warning ai could wipe

out more than half of all entry-level white-collar jobs in the

next one to five years let's look at to chime in other tech leaders chimed in.

That means they gave their opinion.

To chime in is to join or to add your comment in a conversation.

For example, we can say, he chimed in with his thoughts during the meeting.

If you would like to add something, please chime in.

Let's listen to how some other people use to chime in.

Allison and Teresa, I invite you both to chime in.

Let me start and then Richard can chime in.

Want to chime in on that, Randy?

And let's look at to wipe out.

AI could wipe out more than half of all entry-level white-collar jobs.

To wipe out means to completely remove or to destroy.

We can say one bad investment wiped out all of his savings.

The flood wiped out the village.

Let's look at entry-level white-collar jobs.

These are the types of jobs that AI may replace first.

A white-collar job is an office job, and an entry-level job is the job that you do when you first start your career.

We can say, he's looking for an entry-level job in finance.

She got an entry-level white-collar job at the bank.

Let's look at the next paragraph.

Ready or not, AI is reshaping,

displacing, and creating new roles as technology's impact on the job market ripples across multiple sectors.

The AI frenzy has fueled anxiety from workers who fear their jobs could be automated.

Roughly half of U.S workers are worried about how AI may be used in the workplace in the future,

and few think AI will lead to more job opportunities in the long run.

According to a Pew Research Center report, let's look at the verb to ripple.

The article says, as technology's impact on the job market ripples across multiple sectors.

AI's impact is rippling across industries.

And that means it is spreading and it is affecting many areas.

So to ripple is to spread out slowly like waves.

This is a ripple.

We can say the wind created small ripples on the surface of the lake.

But you can also use to ripple this way.

The news rippled through the company.

Or we can say a ripple effect.

The new policy had a ripple effect on all departments.

And let's look at frenzy.

100

The article says the AI frenzy has fueled anxiety from workers.

101

Frenzy is anxiety or excitement.

102

For example, we can say a buying frenzy.

103

The holiday sales caused a shopping frenzy.

104

We can also say a frenzy of excitement or a frenzy of fear or a frenzy of panic.

105

Let's look at the verb to fuel.

106

The AI frenzy has fueled anxiety from workers.

107

And if you fuel something, you make it stronger and it grows faster.

108

And we usually use it this way, to fuel a fire.

109

Dry wood and leaves helped fuel the fire or to fuel a car.

110

They stopped to fuel the car before continuing their journey.

111

But we can also use to fuel this way, to fuel growth.

112

Technology continues to fuel economic growth.

113

We can also say to fuel anger, to fuel fear, or to fuel ambition.

114

Her struggles fueled her ambition to succeed.

115

If you've been watching my videos recently, then you know the meaning of the next word, roughly.

116

Roughly half of US workers are worried.

117

Roughly means approximately or about.

118

You can say roughly 30 people came to the meeting.

119

The trip cost roughly $500.

120

And let's look at few.

121

Do you know the difference between few and a few?

122

It's a pretty big difference look at this example.

123

What is the difference between these two sentences?

124

I have a few problems or I have few problems.

125

Which one is preferable?

126

Which one is better?

127

It's better to have few problems.

128

That means you have very few problems.

129

You don't have very many problems.

130

You want to express the fact that there's a lack of problems.

131

But if you say I have a few problems, then it means you do have some problems.

132

So that little article, a, completely changes the meaning.

133

The article says, few think that AI will lead to more job opportunities.

134

And that means that almost nobody thinks that AI will lead to more job opportunities.

135

In fact, it's the opposite.

136

They think that there will be fewer jobs because of AI.

137

They're pessimistic about it.

138

Have you ever used idiomatic expression in the long run, the article states, will lead to more job opportunities in the long run.

139

In the long run means over a long period of time.

140

For example, you can say, it may be hard now, but it's better in the long run.

141

Saving money is smart in the long run.

142

It's a very common expression.

143

Let's listen to how some other people used it.

144

But right now, as much as it hurts, in the the long run, you're going to be happy that you did it.

145

What do you think might happen in the long run, Eric?

146

So you might as well live by your values because in the long run, that's the best way to live.

147

Let's look at another paragraph.

148

The heightened fear comes as major tech companies, such as Microsoft, Intel, Amazon,

149

and Meta, cut workers, push for more efficiency,

150

and promote their ai tools tech companies have rolled out ai powered features

151

that can generate code analyze data develop apps

152

and help complete other tedious tasks ai isn't just taking jobs

153

it's really rewriting the rule book on what work even looks

154

like right now said robert lucido senior director of strategic advisory

155

at magnet a company based in fulsom california to heighten is a verb in the past tense is heightened

156

and it's also an adjective heightened let's pronounce it correctly first

157

repeat after me heightened heightened heightened fear heightened means increased or made stronger

158

we can say the news heightened my anxiety his speech heightened

159

our awareness let's look at the phrasal verb to roll out tech companies have rolled out ai-powered features and

160

that means tech companies are rolling out new ai tools they are releasing them to roll out is to introduce

161

or to launch something new we can say the company rolled

162

out a new product they will roll out the service next week.

163

The school rolled out a new program.

164

Let's look at the idiomatic expression to rewrite the rule book.

165

AI is rewriting the rule book.

166

To rewrite the rule book is to change the normal way that things are done.

167

For example, we can say he rewrote the rule book on how to run a business.

168

He did it in his own way.

169

He did it in an original way.

170

We can say her new way of teaching is rewriting the rule book in education.

171

And AI is rewriting the rule book for many jobs.

172

And now let's read parts of the article again to practice your accent.

173

I will read and I will pause to give you a chance to repeat.

174

And pay attention to which words I'm stressing and pay attention to how I'm connecting the words and where I'm pausing.

175

And try to do exactly the same thing so that your accent can sound natural.

176

And of course, pay attention to the pronunciation of the words also.

177

Okay, repeat after me.

178

Tech executives, economists, and other experts

179

say that AI could automate mundane and tedious tasks and also create new roles.

180

Tech companies that are cutting jobs and leaning more on artificial intelligence are also disrupting themselves.

181

At Salesforce, a software company that helps businesses manage customer relationships,

182

Chief Executive Mark Benyoff said last week,

183

that AI is already doing 30 to 50% of the company's work.

184

Other tech leaders have chimed in.

185

Earlier this year, Anthropic, an AI startup, flashed a big warning.

186

AI could wipe out more than half of all entry-level white-collar jobs in the next one to five years.

187

Ready or not, AI is reshaping, displacing, and creating new roles.

188

As technology's impact on the job market ripples across multiple sectors.

189

The AI frenzy has fueled anxiety from workers who fear their jobs could be automated.

190

Roughly half of US workers are worried about how AI may be used in the workplace in the future.

191

And few think AI will lead to more job opportunities in the long run.

192

According to a Pew Research Center report,

193

the heightened fear comes as major tech companies such as Microsoft,

194

Intel, Amazon, and Meta.

195

Cut workers push for more efficiency and promote their AI tools.

196

Tech companies have rolled out AI-powered features that can generate code,

197

analyze data, develop apps, and help complete other tedious tasks.

198

AI isn't just taking jobs.

199

It's really rewriting the rulebook.

200

on what work even looks like right now.
