It virtually impossible to escape hearing or reading about AI everyday. We’ll explore how people are interacting with AI intentionally, but also unknowingly. What’s AI and what’s not AI. We will start with an overview of interesting AI applications and technologies. AI is revolutionizing many fields, jobs and industries. With a question for contemplation: What should AI be used for?
Then, we will look more closely at using AI with the lens of AI Ethics and Responsible AI. Considering the obvious issues of misuse, bias, and misinformation but also copyright and environmental impacts. Allowing for contemplation of this idea: What are the ethical concerns of AI?
