WHAT EXACTLY IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the way we work, play, and communicate. While AI has potential to help solve complex problems, you’ve likely also heard serious concerns about it and especially, the ways AI might change the lives of children and teens. With so many viewpoints out there, how can you make sense of AI and its possible impact on us? Let’s start by looking at how AI works and what issues parents and families may need to consider as the technology evolves.

AI is modeled on the human brain -how we gather facts, descriptions, comments, images and much more and make sense of it all to complete a specific task. The difference is that AI draws the input together, sorting it and making it immediately accessible to us. However, unlike human knowledge, it doesn’t have the ability to connect new information to all of our other life experiences.

AI technology has been in development since the mid-1950s. Thanks to recent breakthroughs, though, AI-driven tools are quickly becoming part of our everyday lives. For example, when you contact customer service, AI may help answer your questions. When you explore international news, the words you hear or read may be translated into your preferred language by AI. In your doctor’s office, an AI speech recognition program may help the medical team take notes and update your chart. On a larger scale, AI is used to study traffic safety and flow, for example, and analyze health risks in large populations.
