Beyond the Book: AI

 Most people in this country know what AI is, but if you don’t know here’s a simple definition. AI provides a computer program the ability to think and learn on its own. It’s getting machines to do things that humans normally do. So, is AI a good thing or a bad thing. Let’s look at a few examples.

Medicine might benefit by AI. Doctors might make a mistake, but AI can do operations with better precision. AI might do repetitive chores in say a factory. We already use AI in many ways and don’t know it.For example Google Maps or Siri.

Sound like a good idea, right? Well, I don’t know. An AI robot might replace jobs that people need to survive. AI might be applied to education, but after seeing students learned during the pandemic I definitely think the kids are better off with a teacher in the room.

For a writer or artist, though, we worry that AI might replace traditionally written books and painting. It could really happen, but I’m not much worried about it. AI can only use data programmed into it. It’s doubtful that it could ever rival the creativity of a real person. I don’t think any machine could ever replicate human emotion. 

What about you? Can you list the ways you already use AI?
