The AI boom has been a growing threat to creative industries and media platforms have been flooded with AI generated content. To stop this, one music streaming service is stopping AI generated music from making any money on its platform — Could this be an answer to the developing problem of artificial content?

On top of this are stories about processed foods and dyed clothes. Although they sound mundane, they could actually give you a new perspective on the impact of these things in your life.

Here are the articles for this week’s conversation classes. Of course, you can still use these even if you are not taking conversation classes. I look forward to hearing what you have to say. Please let me know if you have any issues accessing these.

Try to note some new or interesting language that you see or hear in the articles or video and bring it to the class.
