How to Pronounce: Difficult terms - Artificial General Intelligence

Hello, I'm John Russell.

In the past few years, platforms such as ChatGPT, Cloud, Gemini, and others have gained a lot

of attention.

One of the big areas of discussion is when or if a model can achieve something known as

artificial general intelligence.

Let's break our term into its individual parts.

We have three words, artificial, general, intelligence.

I often hear English learners struggle with each of these words.

For example, I often hear English learners say artificial like this, artificial or artificial.

This could be a result of changing the consonant sh into a s sound.

It could also be a result of stressing the wrong place in the word.

We need to make sure we stress the correct parts of the word, the beginning in the middle.

I will clap to show this.

Artificial.

Artificial.

In the words general and intelligence, I also often hear English learners have difficulty

with where to place stress in the word.

So they might stress the middle or end of general like this, general, or general.

Instead, we need to stress the beginning of the word.

Let's put it all together and clap where we need to stress sounds.

We will make a strange kind of rhythm.

Artificial general intelligence.

Artificial general intelligence.

That's all for today.

Keep up the good work.
