1
You know, this is the only commencement speech that I'm giving this year,
2
and so I've watched a few highlights of graduation speeches where this or that corporate leader will discuss artificial intelligence,
3
AI, and be met with literal boos.
4
Now, you can't boo me.
5
I'm the vice president of the United States.
6
But your fellow Americans are understandably,
7
they're worried about AI, about how it will affect the labor market,
8
how it will distribute resources,
9
and how it has fundamentally changed how we interact with one another, our social lives.
10
But the thing I worry about most with AI is how it will change warfare.
11
Now, Pope Leo XIV, in a recent document,
12
encouraged us as human beings not to outsource the most important moral decisions to digital technology.
13
And I want to endorse that sentiment and make it more specific to each and every one of you.
14
AI will inevitably change warfare.
15
And of course, as you've learned over the last four years, it already has.
16
But one of the things that makes Americans unique,
17
that makes you as war fighters unique,
18
is that we wage war justly.
19
But when I say that we,
20
all of us, wage war justly,
21
I mean fundamentally that you must do so,
22
because you are the ones who execute.
23
You are the ones who lead on the battlefield.
24
You are the ones who ensure that our lethality and war,
25
which is amazing and necessary,
26
it also coexists with our heart and with our conscience.
27
It is an incredible burden to put on your shoulders,
28
but it is one that we entrust to you with full confidence.
29
And if the warfare of the future is to live up to the moral values of our ancestors,
30
decisions over life and death must be made by humans and not machines.

Why practice speaking with this video?

This commencement speech delivered by the Vice President of the United States offers an exceptional opportunity to enhance your English speaking skills. By practicing with this video, you not only gain insight into pressing issues, such as artificial intelligence and moral dilemmas in warfare, but you also engage with formal speech patterns commonly used in high-stakes contexts. This is particularly beneficial for learners aiming to articulate opinions clearly and persuasively. Using a shadowing app while watching this video can help you mimic intonation, rhythm, and pacing, improving your overall fluency. Engaging with authentic content like this is a fantastic way to learn English with YouTube, as it combines language acquisition with understanding complex ideas.

Grammar & Expressions in Context

Throughout the speech, several key grammatical structures and expressions emerge that are essential for English learners aiming for advanced proficiency:

  • "You can't boo me": This structure demonstrates the use of contractions and direct address, which adds emphasis and a conversational tone. It's a useful phrase for asserting authority or confidence in discussions.
  • "What I worry about most": This phrase showcases the use of superlatives and personal pronouns, reflecting personal concerns or priorities. Learning to express worries or opinions is vital in spoken English.
  • "One of the things that makes Americans unique": This expression uses relative clauses and highlights the idea of distinction. It's effective in discussions where comparisons are made, giving you a way to articulate unique qualities.
  • "You must do so, because you are the ones who execute": The modal verb ‘must’ conveys necessity and obligation, which is crucial for discussing responsibilities in both personal and professional settings.

Common Pronunciation Traps

While practicing with this video, pay close attention to the following pronunciation challenges:

  • "AI" (Artificial Intelligence): Ensure you pronounce "A" and "I" distinctly and not as a single sound. This term is used frequently and understanding its pronunciation is essential for clarity in discussions about technology.
  • "Warfare": This word can be tricky due to the fluidity of the "war" and "fare" syllables. Practice breaking it down into its components for better clarity.
  • "Lethality": The pronunciation can be challenging with the "th" sound. Take extra care to emphasize the 'th' correctly to avoid confusion. This can be effectively practiced through a shadow speak approach, where you repeat after hearing the word.

By focusing on these aspects, you can significantly improve English pronunciation, making your speech clearer and more effective. Incorporating the use of a shadowing app while engaged in this practice will further enhance your ability to master native sounds and phrases. Remember, learning effectively requires consistent practice and engagement with varied content.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
