AI introduction

What is artificial intelligence (AI)?

AI, or Artificial Intelligence, refers to the development and implementation of computer systems that possess the ability to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. These tasks can include problem-solving, learning, reasoning, perception, and language understanding. AI systems are designed to analyze large amounts of data, recognize patterns, and make autonomous decisions or provide intelligent outputs. They can range from simple rule-based systems to complex machine learning models.
(OpenAI, 2023)

What is ChatGPT, Bing, & Bard?

These are examples of conversational, generative artificial intelligence chatbots developed by OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google. Some of the key capabilities of these chatbots include answering general knowledge questions, summarizing complex information, generating content, and explaining concepts in simple terms. While they lack deeper reasoning abilities, AI chatbots’ strengths lie in their conversational nature and ability to produce coherent and readable content. This content shouldn’t be relied on too heavily, as AI is known to generate biased, incorrect, or nonsensical content.
