ナレーション(考える1分・話す2分)
1One day, a manager was talking with his staff at an online shopping company. He suggested that they introduce an AI system to answer customers' questions. He explained that it could provide support 24 hours a day. 2A few weeks later, the company started using an AI chat service on its website. A customer was able to get an answer late at night, and she looked pleased. The manager was happy to see that customers no longer had to wait so long. 3The next month, the manager decided to reduce the number of staff members who answered phone calls. Some of them were moved to other departments, and the office became much quieter. 4Six months later, however, the manager was reading many complaints from customers. They said that the AI kept giving the same answers and that they could not talk to a real person. The manager was holding his head in his hands and looked very worried.
ある日、通販会社でマネージャーが部下たちと話していました。彼は、客の質問に答えるAIシステムを導入しようと提案しました。それなら24時間対応できると説明しました。 数週間後、会社はウェブサイトでAIチャットサービスを使い始めました。ある客は夜遅くに答えをもらうことができ、うれしそうでした。マネージャーは、客がもう長く待たなくてよくなったのを見て喜びました。 翌月、マネージャーは電話対応をする社員の数を減らすことにしました。その一部はほかの部署に移り、オフィスはずっと静かになりました。 ところが6か月後、マネージャーは客からのたくさんの苦情を読んでいました。客たちは、AIが同じ答えばかり返し、本物の人と話せないと言っていました。マネージャーは頭を抱え、とても困った様子でした。
172語No.1 4コマ目の気持ち
No.1Please look at the fourth picture. If you were the manager, what would you be thinking?
I'd be thinking, "I shouldn't have reduced the number of phone staff so quickly. AI can't handle every problem that customers have."
「電話担当をあんなに急に減らすべきではなかった。AIは客の抱える問題をすべて処理できるわけではない」と考えていると思います。
I'd be thinking, "We need to make it easier for customers to talk to a real person. I'll bring back some staff members to deal with difficult questions."
「客が本物の人と話しやすくしないといけない。難しい質問に対応するために、何人かの社員を呼び戻そう」と考えていると思います。
No.2〜No.4(カードを裏返して)
No.2Do you think people will trust information provided by AI in the future?
Yes, I think so. AI is becoming more accurate every year, and many people already use it to search for information or get advice. For example, students often ask AI to explain difficult ideas, and some doctors are starting to use it to check medical images. As it continues to improve, people will feel more comfortable relying on it.
はい、そう思います。AIは年々正確になっていて、すでに多くの人が情報を探したり助言を得たりするのに使っています。例えば、学生は難しい考え方を説明してもらうためによくAIに質問しますし、医療画像の確認に使い始めている医師もいます。改善が続けば、人々はもっと安心してAIに頼るようになるでしょう。
No.3Should companies always give customers a way to talk to a human staff member?
Yes, I think they should. AI can answer simple questions, but it often cannot understand complicated or emotional problems. For example, if a customer receives a broken product or is charged twice, they want someone who can listen and take responsibility. Giving customers access to a real person helps companies keep their customers' trust.
はい、そうすべきだと思います。AIは簡単な質問には答えられますが、複雑な問題や感情がからむ問題は理解できないことがよくあります。例えば、壊れた商品が届いたり、二重に請求されたりした客は、話を聞いて責任を取ってくれる人を求めます。本物の人と話せるようにすることで、会社は客の信頼を保てます。
No.4Today, many jobs are changing because of new technology. Do you think the government should do more to help workers learn new skills?
Yes, I think so. As technology changes quickly, many people may lose their jobs or need to change careers. The government could offer free online courses or financial support for people who want to study programming or nursing, for example. This would help workers stay employed and also benefit the economy as a whole.
はい、そう思います。技術が急速に変わる中で、多くの人が仕事を失ったり、仕事を変える必要が出たりするかもしれません。例えば政府は、プログラミングや看護を学びたい人に無料のオンライン講座や経済的な支援を提供できます。そうすれば働く人が仕事を続けられ、経済全体のためにもなるでしょう。
