Artificial Intelligence Role in Avoiding Ambiguous Vocabulary

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence has undergone extraordinary development and progress in recent years and as such it has significantly influenced almost every domain or field of life, including education and learning. The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of AI to understand ambiguous words in English and to avoid the ambiguity caused by them during learning English as a second language. Given the somehow limited number of studies that have been focused on the effectiveness of using AI to learn vocabulary in general and ambiguous English vocabulary as one of the most common difficulties encountered during learning English as a second language, the paper aims to highlight precisely the advantages and effectiveness that the use of AI brings in this aspect. This paper aims to present key and effective elements of the use of AI to avoid the ambiguities created by ambiguous words and to better understand and acquire this ambiguous vocabulary in conversation and to correctly interpret the intended meaning of the speaker. The study highlights the considerable values of the use of AI both in education and in the process of learning the English language if used correctly and with the appropriate instructions. Regarding the methodology used, a number of questionnaires were designed and distributed where the questions focus on the impacts, facilities and benefits that AI brings to the acquisition of ambiguous vocabulary.
