Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to computer systems that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence—such as recognizing patterns, making decisions, and learning from data. It’s already part of everyday tools like search engines, recommendation systems, and voice assistants.
Generative AI, a subset of AI, goes a step further by creating new content—like text, images, music, or code—based on patterns it has learned.
As students prepare to enter a world shaped by AI tools, it is essential they understand how to use these technologies ethically, responsibly, and effectively.
