Welcome to Easy stories in English, the podcast that will take your English from ok to good and from good to great.
I am Ariel Goodbody, your host for this show.
Todays story is for pre intermediate learners.
The name of the story is Eileen.
You can find a transcript of the episode@easysystoriesinenglish.com AI thats easysystoriesinenglish.com AI there.
You can also download the episode as a PDF recently it feels like everyone is talking about one artificial intelligence or AI for short.
Artificial intelligence is computers learning how to think like humans.
And recently there has been lots of news about AI because the technology is improving very quickly.
It is improving at an exponential rate.
When something is exponential ex p o n e n t I a l, it means that it is growing faster and faster.
For example, viruses generally grow at an exponential rate because as more people get the virus, more people can give the virus to other people.
If you look at exponential growth on a graph, it curves upwards like a Hill, so we can talk about an exponential growth curve.
Anyway, AI technology is now improving at an exponential rate and its hard to read all the news about it.
By the time this episode comes out there will probably be lots of fresh news about AI.
However, the traditional media, newspapers and tv channels arent doing a very good job of talking about it.
So you might not know everything that's going on and that's the difficult thing.
I was watching lots of YouTube videos on the topic, but the news was honestly very scary.
I was interested, but I couldn't listen to too much AI news or I would start to worry.
But the other day I heard an episode of the podcast your undivided attention.
The podcast episode is called the AI dilemma.
