LEARNING BLOCK #1
Getting to Know AI
With the advent of artificial intelligence, it’s becoming tougher to tell the difference between what is real or fake. We use the Internet to stay current with the news, share photos, and to gather information. Because images form the basis of much of what we see online, it’s important to know what to believe. This lesson starts out by discussing the history of fake pictures, demonstrates how realistic fake images can look, discusses way to can tell if an image is fake, and challenges you with a test to see if you can guess which image is fake.
Lesson #1: Myths and Misunderstandings about AI
Understanding AI. One way to understand what artificial intelligence is to discuss “intelligence” and then investigate the difference between “natural” intelligence and “artificial” intelligence.
Intelligence can be defined as the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills, or to solve problems. Humans use memory and thinking to make decisions and remember things, and this is called human intelligence. This type of intelligence is considered “natural,” since it has developed through the process of evolution and it wasn’t created by something else. Natural intelligence is not limited to humans, and can be exhibited in other animals as well.
While most computers rely on a person’s input through a keyboard or mouse to tell it what to do, data scientists and others have developed software that is able to learn from experiences in order to make decisions. Some computers can perform tasks that are characteristic of human intelligence, or have an “artificial” intelligence.
