Apparently the world is changing, and everyone is now barking at you about AI and how it will change everything. From people that seem very happy about it to people that are sad and even people that are scared… WTF is even this stuff?
AI or artificial intelligence is basically a term that refers to thinking machines. Not necessarily thinking in the way a human does, but any method that allows a machine to gather information, figure out a solution and perform and action. Whether that results in making flight corrections on a drone or ChatGPT giving you an answer.
Different Types Of Thinking
Like I said above, machines don’t have to necessarily think like humans. As long as you can look at a problem and come up with a decent enough solution, whatever method you’re using is considered intelligence. The earliest known paper in the field of AI was written in 1941 by Alan Turing. So yes, this stuff is not really new, we’ve been at it for a long time.
