    1. Game playing programs have done much to popularize AI

      Game-playing programs can play simple games and are now getting better at harder games.

    2. Another important area of AI research has been natural language processing (NLP).

      Natural language processing (NLP) tries to give computers the ability to understand natural human language, like English. It tries to go over grammar and attempts to assign the correct meanings to words. It's tough to do since there are variations of languages.

    3. Pattern recognition is the most common type of problem for machine learning applications.

      Pattern recognition is common for machine learning applications. There are also face recognition, speech recognition, and handwritten letter recognition.

    4. Another successful AI technology has been machine learning

      Machine learning, which makes machines learn from experience. It is useful to solve problems.

    5. One AI technology that had early real-world applications was the expert system

      An expert system uses a large amount of knowledge about small areas that it solves problems for. DENDRAL is the first system that has to do with science and common patterns. MYCIN uses rules for uncertainty as probability weights on inferences.

    6. The Stanford Research Institute Problem Solver (STRIPS) was an early planner that used a language to describe actions that is still widely used and enhanced.

      STRIPS used a language for action description, preconditions of the action, and the effect.

    7. AI research focused around the key aspects of intelligent behavior including automated reasoning, decision making, machine learning, machine vision, natural language processing, pattern recognition, automated planning, problem solving, and robot control.

      AI had research that was about decision making, planning, problem solving, and natural language processing. Building machines to outthink humans was their goal.

    1. Con 1

      Cons: Can cause mass unemployment by robots taking over jobs. AI can give misinformation and make people lazy. Using AI bots to do everything for you, research, write your papers, and answer problems. Students are undermining education goals by using AI, which they will eventually suffer from. Increased laziness and lack of motivation since AI makes their choices for them. Dangerous privacy risks with things like being watched without your knowledge with facial recognition. Following the shopping patterns of people.

    2. Pro 1

      Pros: Can make life more convenient. It can make work easier, especially for students. AI did not take away reading or writing; it can create personalized content based on their interests. Give resources, videos, and activities that fit the student. Help with ways to study, help with task management. It can even help people with disabilities navigate the internet and everyday life.

    3. Google’s AI chatbot Gemini began skewing historical events by generating images of racially diverse 1940s German Nazi soldiers and Catholic popes (including a Black female pope). Republican lawmakers accused Google of promoting leftist ideology and spreading disinformation through its AI tool.

      Google's AI Gemini was giving wrong information about historical events, making them biased towards leftist ideology. And, creating racially diverse images. There are fears that AI could undermine democratic elections.

    4. Despite such precautions, experts noted that many of the new standards would be difficult to enforce, especially as new concerns and controversies over AI evolve almost daily. AI developers, for example, have faced criticism for using copyrighted work to train AI models and for politically skewing AI-produced information. Generative programs such as ChatGPT

      Even with precautions, it's hard to enforce. AI programs like ChatGPT claim they give original information, but they break copyright laws, so now they need permission to use some information like Encyclopedia Britannica.

    5. Kamala Harris stated, “We have a moral, ethical and societal duty to make sure that A.I. is adopted and advanced in a way that protects the public from potential harm.

      Biden signed an executive order for AI safety and security to protect Americans' privacy and protect from harm.

    6. Now, artificial intelligence is used for a variety of everyday implementations including facial recognition software, online shopping algorithms, search engines, digital assistants like Siri and Alexa, translation services, automated safety functions on cars, cybersecurity, airport body scanning security, poker playing strategy, and fighting disinformation on social media.

      AI is used for many things now like facial recognition, searching online, Siri and Alexa, and translation services.

    7. He later created the computer programming language LISP (which is still used in AI)

      John McCarthy created LISP, a programming language still used, with first-hand hand-eye capabilities.

    8. he modern notion of AI largely began when Alan Turing, who contributed to breaking the Nazi’s Enigma code during World War II, created the Turing test to determine if a computer is capable of “thinking.” The value and legitimacy of the test have long been debated

      Determining if a computer can think by testing it out.

    9. “Not one of those myths has a good ending once the artificial beings are sent to Earth. It’s almost as if the myths say that it’s great to have these artificial things up in heaven used by the gods. But once they interact with humans, we get chaos and destruction.”

      Seems like artificial beings are great when used by the gods in heaven, but chaos on Earth.

    10. “Our ability to imagine artificial intelligence goes back to ancient times. Long before technological advances made self-moving devices possible, ideas about creating artificial life and robots were explored in ancient myths.”

      Artificial intelligence was thought of in ancient times; they had ideas about creating AI, and explored robots.

    11. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the use of “computers and machines to mimic the problem-solving and decision-making capabilities of the human mind,” according to IBM.

      AI is computers that act like a human and problem solve.
