Tanto los dispositivos tecnológicos que usamos día a día, como los algoritmos de Aprendizaje Automático (ML) que nos recomiendan qué películas ver, qué hotel elegir, qué comida comprar, están disponibles para nosotros gracias a una cadena de suministro, que involucra la extracción de recursos naturales, la mano de obra en diferentes partes de esta cadena y la posterior comercialización. Siendo el objetivo final  maximizar las ganancias de los inversionistas sin importar las consideraciones éticas y ambientales que surgen al  distribuir y aplicar estos algoritmos a campos como la educación, la salud, el sistema judicial, la vigilancia civil, entre otros. 
El término Inteligencia Artificial (IA) alude a un conjunto de algóritmos capaces de imitar la inteligencia humana a diferentes niveles. La autora propone ir más alla de la abstracción que el termino IA evoca y analizarlo con los pies en la tierra, preguntándos: ¿es realmente la IA inteligente o artificial?

How do you improve your IELTS band score. In this podcast I’m going to give you 1 simple strategy to help you get the band score you need.

The technique I’m going to teach you is paraphrase. Yes, paraphrasing is very important, and it’s something that IELTS examiners listen out for. In the IELTS band descriptors you will see that you can not get a band score 6 or 7 unless you can paraphrase effectively.

Let me give you an example.

Let’s say in part 1 the examiner asks you about your hometown and asks you this question: Is your hometown a popular destination for foreigners?

You should answer the question by choosing a synonym for foreigners, for example, tourists.

You could also choose a synonym  for destination, for example visit.

So, when the examiner asks you “Is your hometown a popular destination for foreigners?” you could answer like this:

Yes, many tourists visit my hometown. 

So, you’ve answered the question using paraphrase.

Instead of foreigners you said tourists and instead of destination, you said visit.

Let me teach you again. If the examiner asks you “Is your hometown a popular destination for foreigners?” you could answer:

Yes, many tourists visit my hometown.
