"Our journey begins in the 5th century AD, a time of great migrations and upheaval. The Roman Empire had recently withdrawn from Britain, leaving the land open to new influences and settlers. It was during this period that the Anglo-Saxons, a collection of tribes from what are now Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands, began to make their way across the North Sea to the British Isles. The Anglo-Saxons were not a single unified group, but rather a mix of peoples, including the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. Each brought with them their own dialects, which would eventually blend and evolve to form what we now call Old English.

Welcome to my weekly "English with Nab Podcast," this week we are going to talk about Living and Working with AI. In November 2022, a revolutionary new tool was made available to everyone with an internet connection at no cost. A generative form of language-based artificial intelligence known as CHAT-GPT entered the world, and was taken up by 100 million people more quickly than any other product in history. CHAT-GPT represents a new generation of AI, one in which AI technology functions as co-intelligence. This means that rather than following more procedural and repetitive processes as previous iterations of AI have, CHAT-GPT emulates human thinking patterns. Its generative, flexible functionality is transforming not only how we humans approach work, it's also having a profound impact on how quickly complex tasks are achieved, in some cases increasing productivity by 60%.  And this new generative AI isn't just making its mark on the workplace. Everything from education to entertainment is feeling the effects of artificial intelligence. No one knows exactly what the future holds, especially as AI continues to outperform expectations and behave in surprising and unanticipated ways.
