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.

맥락 및 배경

이번 에피소드에서는 기술에 대한 흥미로운 주제를 다루고 있습니다. 진행자인 캐서린과 롭은 컴퓨터와 기술의 신뢰성에 대해 이야기하며, 인간이 하는 일보다 기계가 더 잘 할 수 있다고 믿는 과오에 대해 성찰합니다. 특히, 메레디스 브라우사드가 정의하는 '기술 우월주의'에 대한 논의가 중심 주제입니다. 이는 기술이 항상 최고이며 객관적인 해결책이라고 착각하는 경향을 경고합니다. 이러한 배경 지식을 바탕으로 청취자들은 기술과 인간 능력 사이의 경계를 보다 명확히 이해할 수 있습니다.

일상 커뮤니케이션을 위한 5가지 주요 어구

  • Do you think that technology can actually do things better than humans? (기술이 실제로 인간보다 더 잘 할 수 있다고 생각합니까?)
  • What's that? (그게 뭐죠?)
  • Good luck with that. (잘 되길 바랍니다.)
  • It’s this idea that using technology is better than not using technology. (기술을 사용하는 것이 기술을 사용하지 않는 것보다 낫다는 생각입니다.)
  • Computers are not objective, they are proxies for the people who make them. (컴퓨터는 객관적이지 않으며, 그것을 만드는 사람들의 대리자입니다.)

단계별 쉐도잉 가이드

영상에서 다루는 주제가 어렵게 느껴질 수 있지만, 영어 회화 연습에 매우 유익합니다. 다음은 효과적인 영어 쉐도잉을 위한 단계별 가이드입니다:

  1. 듣기 연습: 처음에는 전체 대화를 주의 깊게 듣습니다. 이때, 주요 아이디어와 주제를 파악하는 것이 중요합니다.
  2. 반복적 쉐도잉: 한 문장씩 듣고 따라 말해보세요. 이 과정에서 shadow speech를 활용하면 영어 발음 교정에도 큰 도움이 됩니다.
  3. 어구 이해하기: 위에 나열된 주요 어구들을 반복적으로 연습하세요. 각 어구의 문맥과 의미를 파악하는 것이 중요합니다.
  4. 속도 조절: 처음에는 느리게 따라하고, 익숙해지면 점차 원 음성과 비슷한 속도로 따라 해 보세요.
  5. 녹음 및 피드백: 자신의 목소리를 녹음하여 원본과 비교해 보세요. 이렇게 하면 shadowspeak을 통해 음성의 문제점을 파악하고 개선할 수 있습니다.

이러한 단계를 통해 여러분의 영어 발음과 회화 능력이 향상될 것입니다. 매일 꾸준히 연습하여 자신감 있는 영어 사용자가 되어보세요!

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
