The Potential of Generative AI to Help Cities Better Manage their Public Parks and Green Spaces

As community interest, involvement, and demand in local Parks & Recreation programs increase, there is also progressive funding that is being allocated to improve green spaces and staffing efficiency. Rather than going insane coming up with ideas, let’s go ahead and implement the new AI tools that are readily available. With these, we can develop convenient staffing schedules, roles, and can even transform our sports scene into an algorithm-based feedback system with tons of resources that intentionally and autonomously enhance participants’ experiences.


As for the green scene, we can totally combat negligent drawbacks in park health due to low staffing and large population events. Artificial Intelligence can contribute positively to this, because it has the capability to learn weather patterns and landscaping techniques in order to optimize how maintenance park workers can better prepare for and solve our park needs in graceful fashion!

How to avoid AI bias in recruiting

As companies use AI more and more in their recruiting and hiring efforts, it is important for them to recognize that the AI is trained to search for patterns among successful candidates’ resumés or performance reviews. As a result, information not related to skills or potential, such as race, speaking patterns, education background, could be used to screen out applicant.

I knew of the potential bias of AI in recruiting, however, I wasn't aware that so much of the irrelevant information is used in deciding what makes a successful candidate.

As a person who has been researching possibilities in aiding teens cope with mental health via non-conventional therapy in gaming, this article struck my curiosity as I've considered AI in the process of revolutionizing therapy options for the youth. Here, Jamie Ducharme at TIME magazine proposes utilizing chatbots to aid in-person therapists and help people cope with smaller-scale issues in their everyday lives. Approaches such as this add convenience to the issue, as a big problem with general conventional therapy lies in the cost and authorization of seeing a licensed therapist every week. Colloquially, the chatbot option has the potential to be way more accessible to teens in need. 


However, like most AI solutions, the implication of the dataset becoming unethical in situations where the dataset can trigger unwanted thoughts within the user and fail to guide a user in empowering directions in an emergency. Furthermore, many physicians don't recommend replacing a strictly human form of medicine with another computerized app.  

Don't Ban ChatGPT in Schools. Teach With It.

The article argues against banning ChatGPT in schools, but suggests using it as an educational tool. Although schools are worried about cheating and face challenges in having AI detection tools. In spite of cheating, the usage of ChatGPT when teaching can help deepen the students comprehension and creativity.

It is crucial for the students to comprehend its strengths, weaknesses, biases, and ethical concerns. In all, the article conveys the idea that teachers should adapt to AI and use it responsibly in the education world. (Viri)
