Why AI Matters To Me

AI is an amazing creation. If you think about it, we have had millions of years to develop the brain to where it is, and yet, we have created AI in a matter of decades.

Of course AI wasn’t always able to make pictures, or have a conversations with us, but it was something. In the beginning AI wasn’t really Artificial Intelligence because we precoded the program. It was more of a instruction follower than something that can think for itself.

The development of AI has been blowing up in the last few years with AI that can have conversations, and AI that can make pictures out of a description. Now there is AI that can recognize different pictures, and not just preprogrammed images. It can tell if any photo is of a bee or a person. The way it does it is amazing because it’s like a brain, and that’s what I love about AI.

People can put AI into an android and its like a real human that is aware of its surroundings. AI can become so many different things in the future, like predict the unpredictable like forest fires, and earth quakes. AI might be the key to stop global crisis’s like global warming, and overpopulation.

How To Get Started With AI

The first thing you need to know about AI, is that it is more than just a Siri that is coded and unchanging. AI stands for Artificial Intelligence, and since Siri doesn’t create it’s own thoughts, so it isn’t an AI. An AI is able to do things that it isn’t told to do. If I were to ask an AI what its favourite colour was, it would have a unique answer that it wasn’t told to say. Like if I asked you what your favourite colour is, you might say blue, but no one told you to say that.

The second thing you should know about AI, is that it does more that tell you their favourite colour, or make one type of picture. An AI that can talk with you would be able to talk about almost anything, not just about colours, or animals. An AI that makes photos would be able to make any photo, not just a forest photo.

Finally, AI will be able to do, and create anything, like advanced study and research that would let us know everything we could ever want to know about genetics, and biology. Eventually, AI will be able to do things we never thought was possible, like tell us how to stop/fix overpopulation, stop global warming, or predict the unpredictable, like earthquakes or where a forest fire will start.

The thing with AI is that its still to new to know everything about it. It might do amazing things or solve impossible problems, but who knows what AI will be able to do if we give it time to grow.

Writing About AI

How was writing these posts?

Writing these post were much easier than writing about something more random. AI is something I am passionate about to it was much easier to add details and go into some depth.

Did I enjoy writing this page?

I really enjoyed writing this page, and getting to explore AI even more, and see what I already know. The idea of getting to write about your topic of choice is exciting to me, because school has a set learning plan you don’t often get to choose what you learn about.

Why did I choose AI?

I choose AI because I am already really interested in it, and I want to know more about it. I believe that AI is going to be most places in the future, and maybe even in your fridge. Knowing about something that important is a key part of getting jobs or applying to a Universities.
