Lesson Description:
Lesson Description:
Are computers becoming as smart as we are? Not exactly, but some are performing tasks that we normally think of as requiring human intelligence—like, learning from experience, solving problems, and responding to language. The idea of AI has been around since at least 1950, when British mathematician Alan Turing envisioned what it would mean for computers to think. These days, narrow AI is everywhere, with predictive text, photo filters, chatbots, and more. Much of it is based on machine learning: The computer gets programmed with instructions and fed data; then, through training, it gets to know patterns in the data, and can eventually make decisions about new data. These AI models are built on artificial neural networks, which mimic the brain’s neural network. The technology is changing rapidly, and has its risks. For example, large language models can be inaccurate, and deepfakes can be weaponized by bad actors. So, it's important to be thoughtful about how you interact with AI.
