1
Back in the 50s, Alan Turing came up with an idea.
0:04.26 – 0:08.38 (4.1s)
2
If you couldn't tell if you were talking to a machine or a human, it meant the machine must be intelligent.
0:09.26 – 0:17.54 (8.3s)
3
He coined the Turing test.
0:17.58 – 0:19.34 (1.8s)
4
Today, most chatbots pass the test easily.
0:20.38 – 0:24.14 (3.8s)
5
But here's the catch.
0:25.14 – 0:26.98 (1.8s)
6
I believe the test was wrong.
0:27.02 – 0:29.10 (2.1s)
7
Because talking isn't what's going to change the world.
0:30.26 – 0:34.50 (4.2s)
8
Doing is. That's why I ask a slightly different question to the leaders I work with.
0:34.54 – 0:41.90 (7.4s)
9
On a daily basis, my role is to reshape organizations, trying to find the right mix of strategy, tech and talent.
0:41.90 – 0:51.66 (9.8s)
10
And my obsession is to make sure that talents do not get out of the equation.
0:52.30 – 0:57.78 (5.5s)
11
So the question I ask my clients is: if an AI could take over all of your team's tasks, who would you keep and why?
0:58.86 – 1:11.30 (12.4s)
12
That question is strategic.
1:11.34 – 1:13.78 (2.4s)
13
And the answer matters to me, not just intellectually, but because I have two daughters at home.
1:13.78 – 1:20.54 (6.8s)
14
They are five and nine.
1:20.58 – 1:22.34 (1.8s)
15
And right now, as you can see, they feel invincible.
1:22.38 – 1:26.66 (4.3s)
16
But I keep wondering: What is the world of work they will step into?
1:26.66 – 1:32.42 (5.8s)
17
We need to build a future where humans matter more, not less.
1:32.46 – 1:37.38 (4.9s)
18
Now let me try to illustrate how this is playing out in the field.
1:38.30 – 1:42.50 (4.2s)
19
A consumer goods client of mine is all in on AI.
1:43.50 – 1:47.74 (4.2s)
20
They didn't want to just deploy the next algo.
1:48.62 – 1:51.86 (3.2s)
21
They wanted to rethink the selling process itself.
1:51.86 – 1:56.22 (4.4s)
22
The trigger was agents.
1:56.26 – 1:58.66 (2.4s)
23
Have you heard about agents?
1:59.78 – 2:01.86 (2.1s)
24
They are the latest generation of AI: more autonomous, able to connect across systems, to plan, to take action, to learn, to adapt.
2:01.86 – 2:12.78 (10.9s)
25
The James Bond of AI.
2:12.78 – 2:14.58 (1.8s)
26
And applied to the selling process, you get an agent that is able to target the customer, make recommendations, negotiate, close the deal.
2:15.70 – 2:26.90 (11.2s)
27
All this with no human intervention.
2:26.90 – 2:29.50 (2.6s)
28
A fully autonomous sales engine.
2:30.38 – 2:33.42 (3.0s)
29
And it was technically feasible.
2:34.66 – 2:36.78 (2.1s)
30
But then an exec asked, "Hmm, if the machine does all of this, then what remains for humans?" This cracked everything open because when we looked deeper at their most loyal customers, we saw they weren’t sticking around because of prices or products but because of how the sales rep made them feel.
2:37.78 – 3:02.74 (25.0s)
31
So we flipped the model around.
3:03.74 – 3:06.34 (2.6s)
32
Humans were no longer going to be about pushing products.
3:06.38 – 3:10.26 (3.9s)
33
They were going to be about building relationship, belonging, loyalty.
3:10.30 – 3:15.90 (5.6s)
34
Very concretely, this meant new skills, new incentives, a very different mindset.
3:17.22 – 3:24.26 (7.0s)
35
Well it changed everything.
3:24.30 – 3:26.22 (1.9s)
36
But it worked.
3:26.26 – 3:28.90 (2.6s)
37
Because in the age of AI, human value isn't gone.
3:28.90 – 3:33.18 (4.3s)
38
It's just moved.
3:33.22 – 3:34.46 (1.2s)
39
Now I’m not talking about copilots anymore.
3:35.74 – 3:38.46 (2.7s)
40
For a while the narrative has been AI will augment us, not replace us.
3:38.50 – 3:45.06 (6.6s)
41
Well this is not where the tech is going today.
3:45.10 – 3:47.94 (2.8s)
42
And I believe we have real hard work to do if we want this narrative to stay true.
3:48.82 – 3:53.46 (4.6s)
43
So I'll say a few words about what I think needs to be done in a second.
3:55.50 – 3:59.74 (4.2s)
44
But first, let me tackle three myths that I think are holding us back.
3:59.74 – 4:04.58 (4.8s)
45
I call them "head in the sand" ideology.
4:05.82 – 4:09.02 (3.2s)
46
Number one.
4:10.26 – 4:12.02 (1.8s)
47
"All of this is overblown. We'll adapt." Yes. We've adapted to electricity, the industrial revolution, the internet.
4:12.06 – 4:23.82 (11.8s)
48
But we've done so on the back of generations that did not have the training nor the time to adapt.
4:23.82 – 4:29.58 (5.8s)
49
And in the case of this revolution, time is of the essence.
4:30.54 – 4:34.70 (4.2s)
50
You may think you have time because agents are just emerging.
4:35.66 – 4:39.10 (3.4s)
51
And it's a fact.
4:39.14 – 4:40.46 (1.3s)
52
Our research shows that today only 13 percent of companies have embedded agents in their workflows.
4:40.50 – 4:47.78 (7.3s)
53
But tech moves exponentially.
4:49.46 – 4:51.82 (2.4s)
54
Humans, they crawl linearly.
4:51.82 – 4:54.62 (2.8s)
55
If you don't prepare now, you'll struggle to keep up.
4:54.62 – 4:58.46 (3.8s)
56
And I'm not talking about science fiction.
4:59.26 – 5:01.94 (2.7s)
57
I'm not talking about AGI, artificial general intelligence, this moment where AI will be smarter than us.
5:01.94 – 5:09.98 (8.0s)
58
I'm referring here to ACI, artificial capable intelligence.
5:10.02 – 5:16.66 (6.6s)
59
The moment when AI will be able to take on ambiguous, complex goals with minimal oversight.
5:17.58 – 5:26.90 (9.3s)
60
And while AGI is speculative, ACI is a deadline.
5:26.90 – 5:32.62 (5.7s)
61
While we spend hours debating about superintelligence and consciousness, we miss the milestones that ACI is meeting with increasing frequency.
5:32.62 – 5:43.58 (11.0s)
62
ACI will change how work is done and by whom.
5:44.62 – 5:48.10 (3.5s)
63
Let's shape it, not wait and see.
5:49.06 – 5:51.50 (2.4s)
64
Now myth number two.
5:52.66 – 5:54.02 (1.4s)
65
"Soft skills are our sweet spot." Yes, it's lovely to believe that empathy, creativity are uniquely ours.
5:54.86 – 6:05.46 (10.6s)
66
But evidence says otherwise.
6:06.66 – 6:09.86 (3.2s)
67
More and more humans like to interact with AI because they feel it's more empathic.
6:09.86 – 6:16.90 (7.0s)
68
And why not?
6:18.46 – 6:19.74 (1.3s)
69
I mean, AI doesn't get tired, doesn't get cranky, doesn't judge you.
6:19.74 – 6:28.06 (8.3s)
70
So this moat we thought was ours, it's shrinking.
6:28.74 – 6:32.62 (3.9s)
71
And we need to stop asking what AI can't do and focus on where humans make a difference and why.
6:33.22 – 6:41.14 (7.9s)
72
At this stage, I'm sure you would love me to come up with the list of human qualities that will remain ours forever.
6:43.78 – 6:52.34 (8.6s)
73
But my point is, there is no universal list.
6:53.30 – 6:55.82 (2.5s)
74
Each company needs to figure it out based on its strategic positioning.
6:56.54 – 7:02.34 (5.8s)
75
This is hard, uncomfortable work, but it's work that you as leaders need to take on.
7:02.38 – 7:09.06 (6.7s)
76
Now myth number three.
7:10.34 – 7:11.74 (1.4s)
77
My preferred one. I'm French.
7:13.06 – 7:14.94 (1.9s)
78
"We need to protect jobs." Yes. I see where this one is coming from.
7:14.94 – 7:21.78 (6.8s)
79
Today, 41 percent of employees believe that their job will vanish in the next decade because of AI.
7:21.78 – 7:29.42 (7.6s)
80
But protecting jobs is like anchoring a boat in a storm.
7:30.62 – 7:34.78 (4.2s)
81
Jobs are fixed.
7:34.78 – 7:36.14 (1.4s)
82
The human potential to grow and adapt, on the other hand, is not.
7:37.06 – 7:40.94 (3.9s)
83
This is where we need to invest.
7:41.62 – 7:44.06 (2.4s)
84
The challenge is our organizations are not geared for that today.
7:44.10 – 7:48.02 (3.9s)
85
Org charts are static.
7:48.06 – 7:49.86 (1.8s)
86
Career paths are narrow.
7:49.86 – 7:51.78 (1.9s)
87
Training is occasional.
7:51.78 – 7:53.62 (1.8s)
88
This system will fall apart the day that the boundaries of jobs start melting away fast.
7:53.62 – 7:59.90 (6.3s)
89
So what do we need to do?
8:01.18 – 8:03.94 (2.8s)
90
Let me take you to an ideal company.
8:05.62 – 8:08.38 (2.8s)
91
Not a theoretical one, just the blend of the boldest clients I've worked with.
8:08.42 – 8:13.66 (5.2s)
92
First, they don't start with tech.
8:14.82 – 8:17.42 (2.6s)
93
They start with strategy.
8:18.62 – 8:20.02 (1.4s)
94
They focus on the outcomes that truly differentiate them on the market.
8:21.14 – 8:25.70 (4.6s)
95
They understand how agents will allow them to deliver against those outcomes in totally different ways.
8:26.38 – 8:33.50 (7.1s)
96
And they look at where people still make a difference for the better.
8:34.42 – 8:38.66 (4.2s)
97
As you can see, this is not incremental redesign of your operating model.
8:39.66 – 8:44.98 (5.3s)
98
It's radical AI-first reinvention.
8:45.02 – 8:48.34 (3.3s)
99
And we did this work for an industrial goods client of mine.
8:49.30 – 8:53.18 (3.9s)
100
Imagine having to go through 50 “hack a future” workshops, looking at how AI is going to disrupt each of your businesses, each of your function.
8:53.22 – 9:03.50 (10.3s)
101
Comfortable? It is not.
9:03.54 – 9:05.34 (1.8s)
102
But it allowed the leaders to align on a vision of where agents win, people matter and how best to pair them.
9:06.26 – 9:14.34 (8.1s)
103
Now once you have this vision, you want to translate it into a workforce model.
9:15.78 – 9:21.30 (5.5s)
104
How many people do I need?
9:21.34 – 9:23.26 (1.9s)
105
With what skills?
9:23.30 – 9:25.34 (2.0s)
106
No more guesswork, just informed, intentional reinvention.
9:25.38 – 9:30.34 (5.0s)
107
A multiyear skills forecast.
9:30.38 – 9:33.10 (2.7s)
108
And this is something we built for a consumer goods client that was facing a massive challenge.
9:33.14 – 9:39.42 (6.3s)
109
Imagine having to reformulate your entire product portfolio while keeping the leadership and innovation.
9:39.46 – 9:47.54 (8.1s)
110
Of course, AI unlocked the productivity that was required, but the work was much deeper.
9:47.58 – 9:54.10 (6.5s)
111
They needed to reinvent the role of the researcher.
9:54.14 – 9:57.14 (3.0s)
112
From chemist to data-driven biologist, from solo expert to multifunctional teammates.
9:58.06 – 10:05.74 (7.7s)
113
And they made it happen because they mapped very precisely the future skills that they needed, and they built a very effective upskilling and mobility engine.
10:05.74 – 10:15.50 (9.8s)
114
Then you want to publicly commit to taking your talents to their fullest potential.
10:17.10 – 10:24.02 (6.9s)
115
Now I know what you're going to tell me.
10:25.06 – 10:27.02 (2.0s)
116
Vinciane, why would we invest in talent if an AI can do their job faster, cheaper and without complaining?
10:27.06 – 10:37.38 (10.3s)
117
Well because the day that interacting with an AI becomes the new norm, a commodity, the interaction with humans is going to take an entire new meaning.
10:38.78 – 10:50.02 (11.2s)
118
Trust, authenticity, accountability.
10:50.62 – 10:54.42 (3.8s)
119
Those are the values we will anchor on.
10:55.46 – 10:57.86 (2.4s)
120
So the smartest companies will invest in talent.
10:58.94 – 11:03.22 (4.3s)
121
Not only tech talent, all talent.
11:03.26 – 11:06.14 (2.9s)
122
Not once, but systematically.
11:06.18 – 11:09.34 (3.2s)
123
And they will protect time to learn.
11:09.38 – 11:13.14 (3.8s)
124
Because today, while freelancers spend on average four hours per week learning, employees spend none.
11:13.18 – 11:22.74 (9.6s)
125
So no, the future isn't about being more human.
11:22.74 – 11:26.26 (3.5s)
126
It's about building the systems that will allow humans to do what matters most.
11:26.30 – 11:31.10 (4.8s)
127
This is not a story about job loss.
11:31.86 – 11:34.26 (2.4s)
128
It is a story about human differentiation.
11:35.22 – 11:37.86 (2.6s)
129
AI will keep on climbing. That is not up to us.
11:39.34 – 11:42.74 (3.4s)
130
But how fast we climb with it, that is up to us.
11:42.74 – 11:46.42 (3.7s)
131
So we need to stop asking: Will there still be jobs for humans?
11:47.30 – 11:52.30 (5.0s)
132
And focus on answering: What do we want humans to be best at?
11:52.34 – 11:57.66 (5.3s)
133
Because in the age of AI, being human isn't a fallback, it's a practice.
11:59.14 – 12:06.54 (7.4s)
134
Let's make it exceptional.
12:06.58 – 12:08.82 (2.2s)
135
Thank you. (Applause)
12:10.14 – 12:16.86 (6.7s)

Perché praticare il parlato con questo video?

Il video di Vinciane Beauchene sulla tecnologia dell'IA offre un ottimo contesto per migliorare la tua pratica di conversazione in inglese. La tematica, attuale e provocatoria, incoraggia una riflessione profonda sul futuro del lavoro e sul valore umano in un mondo sempre più automatizzato. Mentre ascolti il video, ricorda che parlare di argomenti di rilevanza sociale non solo arricchisce il tuo lessico, ma ti rende anche più sicuro nel discutere questioni complesse. Utilizzare risorse come i video su YouTube è un modo eccellente per imparare l'inglese con youtube, poiché ti permette di ascoltare e ripetere frasi utili, sviluppando al contempo il tuo background culturale.

Grammatica ed espressioni nel contesto

Nel suo discorso, Beauchene utilizza diverse strutture grammaticali e frasi che possono esserti utili nella pratica di conversazione in inglese:

  • What if...? - Questa espressione è utile per introdurre scenari ipotetici. Ad esempio: "What if AI takes over all your tasks?"
  • If...then - Una struttura condizionale che aiuta a spiegare le conseguenze delle azioni. Esempio: "If the machine does this, then what remains for humans?"
  • We need to... - Indica necessità e urgenza. Esempio: "We need to build a future where humans matter more."

Queste frasi non solo migliorano la tua grammatica, ma possono essere utilizzate anche in discussioni quotidiane, ampliando il tuo vocabolario.

Trappole comuni nella pronuncia

Durante il video, ci sono alcuni termini e espressioni che possono risultare difficili da pronunciare. Ecco alcuni di essi:

  • Autonomous - Prestare attenzione alla pronuncia della "t" e alla "o" finale, particolarmente comune in parole tecniche.
  • Adapt - La "a" può essere confusa con il suono di "e". Pratica "adapter" per migliorare la tua pronuncia inglese.
  • Algorithm - Questa parola potrebbe sembrare semplice, ma è fondamentale non trascurare l'accento sulla terza sillaba.

Praticare queste parole attraverso shadowing in inglese ti aiuterà a migliorare la tua pronuncia e ti preparerà ad affrontare argomenti complessi con sicurezza. Usa siti di shadowing per affiancare l'ascolto alla tua pratica di parlato.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.

Come praticare efficacemente su ShadowingEnglish

  1. Scegli il tuo video: Scegli un video di YouTube con un discorso chiaro e naturale in inglese. TED Talks, BBC News, scene di film, podcast o risposte campione IELTS funzionano benissimo. Incolla l'URL nella barra di ricerca. Inizia con video più brevi (meno di 5 minuti) e contenuti che trovi realmente interessanti — la motivazione è importante.
  2. Ascolta prima, comprendi il contesto: Al primo ascolto, mantieni la velocità a 1x e ascolta solo. Non cercare ancora di ripetere. Concentrati sulla comprensione del significato, sull'acquisizione di nuovo vocabolario e sull'osservazione di come il parlante enfatizza le parole, collega i suoni e fa le pause.
  3. Imposta la modalità Shadowing:
    • Modalità Attesa: Scegli +3s o +5s — dopo che ogni frase è stata riprodotta, il video si mette automaticamente in pausa, così hai tempo per ripetere ad alta voce. Scegli Manuale se vuoi avere il pieno controllo e premi Avanti tu stesso dopo ogni ripetizione.
    • Sincronizzazione Sub: I sottotitoli di YouTube a volte appaiono leggermente in anticipo o in ritardo rispetto all'audio. Usa ±100ms per allinearli perfettamente e poter seguire accuratamente.
  4. Ombreggia ad alta voce (la pratica centrale): Qui è dove si svolge il vero lavoro. Non appena viene riprodotta una frase — o durante la pausa — ripetila ad alta voce, in modo chiaro e sicuro. Non limitarti a pronunciare le parole: rispecchia il ritmo, l'accento, il tono e il discorso connesso del parlante. Mira a sembrare un'ombra del parlante, non solo una recitazione parola per parola. Usa la funzione Ripeti per allenare la stessa frase più volte fino a quando non ti sembra naturale.
  5. Aumenta la sfida: Una volta che un passaggio si sente confortevole, spingi i tuoi limiti. Aumenta la velocità a <code>1.25x</code> o persino <code>1.5x</code> per allenare riflessi linguistici ad alta velocità. Oppure imposta la Modalità Attesa su <code>Off</code> per uno shadowing continuo — la modalità più avanzata e gratificante. Una pratica costante giornaliera di 15–30 minuti produrrà risultati evidenti in poche settimane.
