Unidentified audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "unidentified" — an adjective, pronounced /ˌʌn.aɪˈden.tɪ.faɪd/, with the stress on the third syllable.
Narrator: Unidentified means not recognised or named — something whose identity has not yet been established.
Narrator: In plain English, if something is unidentified, we don't yet know what or who it is.
Narrator: It famously appears in "UFO" — the unidentified flying object, a sighting not yet explained.
Narrator: The word joins "un-", meaning not, with "identified", from the Latin "idem", meaning the same.
Narrator: To identify is to match a thing to a known name; unidentified means that match hasn't been made.
Narrator: It is common in news, science, and security — an unidentified caller, an unidentified substance.
Narrator: In tone it is neutral and slightly formal, suggesting mystery without alarm.
Narrator: So remember: unidentified means not yet recognised or named — its identity still an open question.

Podcast 2 — In conversation
Speaker A: There was an unidentified package on the doorstep — no label, no name, nothing.
Speaker B: Ooh, mysterious! An unidentified parcel always feels a bit unsettling, doesn't it?
Speaker A: It does. And we say "an unidentified caller kept ringing" too.
Speaker B: Right, unknown number. A common mistake is confusing it with "unidentifiable", though.
Speaker A: Good point — "unidentified" means not yet named; "unidentifiable" means impossible to name.
Speaker B: Exactly. One's a temporary mystery, the other's a permanent one.
Speaker A: Neat distinction. And of course there's the famous UFO.
Speaker B: The unidentified flying object! Everyone knows that one. Close synonyms?
Speaker A: "Unknown", "unnamed", and "anonymous", I'd say.
Speaker B: Though "anonymous" suggests it's hidden on purpose, while unidentified is just unknown.
Speaker A: A nicely neutral word for the genuinely not-yet-known.
Podcast 3 — Prompt engineering
Speaker B: Let's use "unidentified" in AI prompts to mean handling unknown or unrecognised inputs safely.
Speaker A: So unidentified in a prompt means designing for data the system can't yet recognise?
Speaker B: Exactly. For error handling, you'd write:
Prompt: Make my app handle unidentified errors gracefully — when an exception type is unrecognised, log it as unidentified, show a calm fallback message, and never crash. Capture each unidentified case for later review.
Speaker B: The word "unidentified" steers the model to plan for the unexpected, not just known cases.
Speaker A: Clear and safe. What about user data?
Speaker B: Try this:
Prompt: When a request comes from an unidentified user, treat it as a guest — limit access, prompt a gentle login, and tag the session as unidentified. Never expose private data to an unidentified visitor.
Speaker A: So unknown visitors stay restricted.
Speaker B: Right. For a data import:
Prompt: Import this messy CSV and flag any unidentified columns my schema doesn't recognise. Put unidentified fields into a review list rather than guessing, so I can map each one before it's saved.
Speaker A: What about device tracking?
Speaker B: Here you go:
Prompt: Log every login device, and when an unidentified device appears, send a security alert and require extra verification. Treat each unidentified device cautiously until the user confirms it's theirs.
Speaker A: Could unidentified shape a classification feature too?
Speaker B: Absolutely:
Prompt: Categorise incoming messages, and when one doesn't fit any category, file it as unidentified for a human to sort. Never force an unidentified item into the wrong bucket just to avoid a blank.
Speaker A: So "unidentified" means handling the unknown safely.
Speaker B: Exactly — a neutral word that tells the AI to plan carefully for unrecognised inputs.
