  • Oh, six minutes English.

  • From bbclearningenglish.com Hello, I'm Rob, welcome to Six Minute English and with me in the studio is Neil.

  • Hello, Rob.

  • Hello, feeling clever today, Neil?

  • I am feeling quite bright and clever, yes.

  • That's good to hear.

  • Well, you'll need your wits about you,

  • meaning you'll need to think very quickly in this programme because we're talking about intelligence,

  • or to be more accurate, artificial intelligence.

  • And we'll learn some vocabulary related to the topic so that you can have your own discussion about it.

  • Neil, now, you know who Professor Stephen Hawking is, right?

  • Well, of course, yes.

  • Many people say that he's a genius.

  • In other words, he's very, very intelligent.

  • Professor Hawking is one of the most famous scientists in the world.

  • People remember him for his brilliance,

  • and also because he communicates using a synthetic voice generated by a computer.

  • Synthetic means it's made from something non-natural.
