In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, its applications are expanding at an unprecedented rate. One intriguing concept discussed by Prof. Chen in a recent lecture is the idea of creating a foreign language environment through AI. This paper delves into the potential implications and concerns surrounding this innovative approach.

In today's technologically advanced era, artificial intelligence is not just advancing; its applications are becoming more diverse than ever before. From setting alarms without using our hands to recreating images from dreams, the scope of AI is expanding rapidly. Prof. Chen's recent talk introduces a fascinating idea: the creation of a foreign language environment through AI. As an amateur English teacher, I often encounter people seeking advice on how to learn English. Unfortunately, the common response is, "I don't have an environment for that." Many use this excuse as a deterrent to learning foreign languages. However, Prof. Chen's idea addresses this issue head-on, eliminating the excuse. What struck me most was the concept of a "language mother." Reflecting on my own experience, my mother taught me Chinese and English simultaneously as a baby, enabling me to converse fluently with foreigners. While my case may not be unique, not every parent has the time or language skills to provide such an education. The introduction of a "language mother" could potentially bridge this gap, offering interactive language learning experiences that go beyond passive exposure through videos or cartoons.

Despite the potential benefits, concerns arise when considering whether the language mother can truly complement, rather than replace, the biological mother. From a user perspective, this concept is designed for parents who wish to create an English environment for their child but lack the time or ability to do so themselves. The ideal effect is for the child to be consistently immersed in this linguistic environment. However, this raises questions about the child's primary interactions. If the child spends more time with the language mother than their own family, it may lead to feelings of loneliness, indifference, and potential family issues.

While using AI as a language learning tool for children is a commendable endeavor, there are concerns about its practical implementation. The intention may be to enhance a child's English proficiency, but the potential consequences on family dynamics and relationships must not be overlooked. Encouraging parents to actively engage with their children in the desired language remains a fundamental and effective approach. If the fear is that one's own English skills are inadequate, it is crucial to remember that meaningful conversations and interactions are often more impactful than any technological solution.

In conclusion, the concept of "language mothers" in AI language learning is a thought-provoking idea with both potential benefits and challenges. As we navigate the integration of AI into education, it is essential to strike a balance between technological innovation and maintaining the core values of familial relationships and human interaction.
