6 Minute English from bbclearningenglish.com Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English.
2
I'm Catherine.
3
And hello, I'm Rob.
4
Today we have another technology topic.
5
Oh good, I love technology.
6
It makes things easier, it's fast and means I can have gadgets.
7
Do you think that technology can actually do things better than humans?
8
For some things, yes.
9
I think cars that drive themselves will be safer than humans,
10
but that will take away some of the pleasure of driving.
11
So I guess it depends on what you mean by better.
12
Good point, Rob.
13
And that actually ties in very closely with today's topic, which is techno-chauvinism.
14
What's that?
15
We'll find out shortly, Rob,
16
but before we do, today's quiz question.
17
Artificial intelligence, or AI, is an area of computer science
18
that develops the ability of computers to learn to do things like solve problems or drive cars without crashing.
19
But in what decade was the term artificial intelligence coined?
20
Was it a the 1940s,
21
b the 1950s or c the 1960s?
22
I think it's quite a new expression,
23
so I'll go for c the 1960s.
24
Good luck with that, Rob,
25
and we'll give you the answer later in the programme.
26
Now, let's get back to our topic of techno-chauvinism.
27
I know what a chauvinist is – it's someone who thinks that their country or race or sex is better than others.
28
But how does this relate to technology?
29
We're about to find out.
30
Meredith Broussard is Professor of Journalism at New York University and she's written a book called Artificial Unintelligence.
31
She appeared on the BBC Radio 4 programme more or less to talk about it.
32
Listen carefully and find out her definition of techno-chauvinism.
33
Techno-chauvinism is the idea that technology is always the highest and best solution.
34
So somehow over the past couple of decades,
35
we got into the habit of thinking
36
that doing something with a computer is always the best and most objective way to do something.
37
And that's simply not true.
38
Computers are not objective, they are proxies for the people who make them.
39
What is Meredith Broussard's definition of techno-chauvinism?
40
It's this idea that using technology is better than not using technology.
41
She says that we have this idea that a computer is objective.
42
Something that's objective is neutral.
43
It doesn't have an opinion.
44
It's fair and it's unbiased.
45
So it's the opposite of being a chauvinist.
46
But Meredith Broussard says this is not true.
47
She argues that computers are not objective.
48
They are proxies for the people that make them.
49
You might know the word proxy when you're using your computer in one country
50
and want to look at something that is only available in a different country.
51
You can use a piece of software called a proxy to do that.
52
But a proxy is also a person or a thing that carries out your wishes and your instructions for you.
53
So computers are only as smart or as objective as the people that programme them.
54
Computers are proxies for their programmers.
55
Broussard says that believing too much in artificial intelligence can make the world worse.
56
Let's hear a bit more.
57
This time, find out what serious problems in society does she think may be reflected in AI?
58
It's a nuanced problem.
59
What we have is data on the world as it is,
60
and we have serious problems with racism,
61
sexism, classism, ageism in the world right now.
62
So there is no such thing as perfect data.
63
We also have a problem inside the tech world where the
64
creators of algorithms do not have sufficient awareness of social issues such
65
that they can make good technology that gets us closer to a world as it should be.
66
She said that society has problems with racism, sexism, classism and ageism.
67
And she says it's a nuanced problem.
68
A nuanced problem is not simple but it does have small
69
and important areas which may be hard to spot but they need to be considered.
70
And she also talked about algorithms used to programme these technological systems.
71
An algorithm is a set of instructions that computers use to perform their tasks.
72
Essentially, it's the rules that they use to come up with their answers
73
and Broussard believes that technology will reflect the views of those who create the algorithms.
74
Next time you're using a piece of software or your favourite app,
75
you might find yourself wondering if it's a useful tool
76
or does it contain these little nuances that reflect the views of the developer?
77
Right, Catherine, how about the answer to this week's question then?
78
I asked in which decade was the term artificial intelligence coined?
79
Was it the 40s, the 50s or the 60s?
80
And I said the 60s.
81
But it was actually the 1950s.
82
Never mind, Rob.
83
Let's review today's vocabulary.
84
Well, we had a chauvinist – that's someone who believes their country,
85
race or sex is better than any others.
86
And this gives us techno-chauvinism – the belief that a technological solution is always a better solution to a problem.
87
Next, someone or something that is objective is neutral, fair and balanced.
88
A proxy is a piece of software,
89
but also someone who does something for you on your behalf.
90
A nuanced problem is a subtle one.
91
It's not a simple case of right or wrong.
92
In a nuanced problem, there are small but important things that you need to consider.
93
And an algorithm is a set of software instructions for a computer system.
94
Well, that's all we have time for today.
95
Goodbye for now.
96
Bye bye.

السياق والخلفية
في حلقة "6 Minute English"، أكّد المحاوران كاثرين وروب على أهمية التكنولوجيا في حياتنا اليومية. يبدأ الحوار بتساؤل حول ما إذا كانت التكنولوجيا تفعل الأشياء بشكل أفضل من البشر. تُظهر المحادثة أن هناك آراء متباينة حول مدى كفاءة التكنولوجيا مقارنة بالقدرات البشرية، وما إذا كانت جميع الآلات تقدم حلولًا موضوعية. يتم مقدمة الموضوع مع مسألة "التفوق التكنولوجي"، وهو مفهوم يشير إلى الاعتقاد بأن استخدام التكنولوجيا دائمًا هو الخيار الأفضل.
أفضل 5 عبارات للتواصل اليومي
- تكنولوجيا تجعل الأمور أسهل: تشير إلى الفوائد العملية للتكنولوجيا في حياتنا اليومية.
- يمكن أن تكون الحلول التكنولوجية غير موضوعية: تبرز وجود تحيزات في الأنظمة التي نصممها.
- سأختار الخيار C: استخدام عبارات سهلة لفهم الخيارات المطروحة.
- ربما يعتمد الأمر على ما تعنيه بـ "أفضل": تأكيد على أن معايير الأفضلية متعددة.
- الأجهزة قد تأخذ المتعة من القيادة: إشارة إلى فقدان بعض الجوانب الإنسانية في تجربة القيادة بسبب الاعتماد على التكنولوجيا.
دليل خطوة بخطوة للتظليل (Shadowing) الفعال
لتعزيز تحسين النطق باللغة الإنجليزية من خلال التظليل، يمكنك اتباع الخطوات التالية:
- استمع أولاً: قم بالاستماع إلى الفيديو بالكامل، ركز على النطق والإيقاع.
- قسّم المحتوى: حاول تقسيم النص إلى مقاطع أصغر بحيث يسهل عليك متابعتها.
- ترديد المقاطع: استخدم تقنية shadow speech، أي قم بتكرار المقاطع بعد سماعها مباشرة. حاول محاكاة النبرة والإيقاع.
- استخدم الكلمة المناسبة: عند التظليل، حاول استخدام كلمات مثل "تحسين النطق باللغة الإنجليزية" لتعزيز الفهم.
- تكرار العملية: قم بتكرار العملية عدة مرات حتى تشعر بالراحة مع الكلمات والعبارات الجديدة. هذا سيساعدك في تحسين مهارات التحدث لديك.
من خلال اتباع هذه الخطوات، يمكنك أن تصبح أكثر طلاقة في استخدام اللغة الإنجليزية. لا تنسَ أن ممارسة shadowspeaks بشكل منتظم سيؤدي إلى نتائج أفضل في النهاية.
ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
