The way AI gets its information.

What is "from given data"?

"AI is a powerful tool that can easily be misused. In general, AI and learning algorithms extrapolate from the data they are given."

Gonsalves, Florence, et al. “AI—the Good, the Bad, and the Scary.” Virginia Tech Engineer, 2023, eng.vt.edu/magazine/stories/fall-2023/ai.html.

100

Is AI dangerous?

What is "yes"?

"These things could get more intelligent than us and could decide to take over, and we need to worry now about how we prevent that happening"

Thomas, Mike. “14 Risks and Dangers of Artificial Intelligence (AI).” Built In, 25 July 2024, builtin.com/artificial-intelligence/risks-of-artificial-intelligence.

The reason AI is said to be better than a human.

What is "greater intelligence/analysis"?

"With massive improvements in storage systems, processing speeds, and analytic techniques, they are capable of tremendous sophistication in analysis and decisionmaking."

West, Darrell, and John Allen. “How Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming the World.” Brookings, The Brookings Institution, 24 Apr. 2020, www.brookings.edu/articles/how-artificial-intelligence-is-transforming-the-world/.

What gasses trap the sun's heat?

greenhouse gasses

True or False: The Earth naturally goes through cycles of heating and cooling.

True

The way AI progresses

What is "adapting by experience"?

"AI systems have the ability to learn and adapt as they make decisions. In the transportation area, for example, semi-autonomous vehicles have tools that let drivers and vehicles know about upcoming congestion, potholes, highway construction, or other possible traffic impediments."

‌

200

One of the main risks of AI.

What is "data privacy and security"?

"Data privacy and security are also valid concerns with the increased use of AI and automation of sensitive information."

Gonsalves, Florence, et al. “AI—the Good, the Bad, and the Scary.” Virginia Tech Engineer, 2023, eng.vt.edu/magazine/stories/fall-2023/ai.html.

200

The way AI supports us with benefits.

What is "improved productivity"?

"AI has provided advantages and benefits not seen before, from the optimization of construction processes and productivity to improving safety protocols and advancing sustainable practices."

Gonsalves, Florence, et al. “AI—the Good, the Bad, and the Scary.” Virginia Tech Engineer, 2023, eng.vt.edu/magazine/stories/fall-2023/ai.html.

200

What would be Earth's temperature without green house gases?

Earth's temperatures would be cold, oceans would freeze

200

How can global warming cause sea levels to rise?

Melting glaciers and ice caps

300

AI usually projected as.

What is "machines that respond to humans"?

"AI generally is thought to refer to “machines that respond to stimulation consistent with traditional responses from humans, given the human capacity for contemplation, judgment and intention"."

‌

300

The way AI negatively affects our decisions.

What is "influencing"?

"More generally, today's AI systems influence human decision making at multiple levels: from viewing habits to purchasing decisions, from political opinions to social values."

Gonsalves, Florence, et al. “AI—the Good, the Bad, and the Scary.” Virginia Tech Engineer, 2023, eng.vt.edu/magazine/stories/fall-2023/ai.html.

300

The way AI improves our communication.

What is "communicating with AI"?

"These models are no longer just about automating tasks — they are versatile support tools that people can tap into for brainstorming, practicing tough conversations, or even seeking emotional support."

Gonsalves, Florence, et al. “AI—the Good, the Bad, and the Scary.” Virginia Tech Engineer, 2023, eng.vt.edu/magazine/stories/fall-2023/ai.html.

300

Which country is presently emitting the most CO2?

China

300

How can we as humans minimize the amount of green house gases we emit into the atmosphere?

drive less / use public transportation

conserve water

use renewable resources

eat less meat

400

The way machine learning works.

What is "studying data"?

"Machine learning takes data and looks for underlying trends. If it spots something that is relevant for a practical problem, software designers can take that knowledge and use it to analyze specific issues."

‌

400

The main concern in jobs when AI is able to work.

What is "job loss"?

"By 2030, tasks that account for up to 30 percent of hours currently being worked in the U.S. economy could be automated — with Black and Hispanic employees left especially vulnerable to the change — according to McKinsey. Goldman Sachs even states 300 million full-time jobs could be lost to AI automation."

400

The way AI improves our decision making.

What is "more efficient analysis"?

"It is a wide-ranging tool that enables people to rethink how we integrate information, analyze data, and use the resulting insights to improve decision making."

Why do forest fires contribute to climate change?

burning forests release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere

400

What do we call the act in cutting down trees and other shrubbery.

deforestation

500

AI currently meant to do.

What is "help daily life"?

"AI is not a futuristic vision, but rather something that is here today and being integrated with and deployed into a variety of sectors. This includes fields such as finance, national security, health care, criminal justice, transportation, and smart cities."

500

The very important risk of depending AI determine important things.

What is "bias"?

"There is a potential risk of diminishing critical thinking skills if users depend too heavily on AI-generated content without scrutiny. Also, as these models are trained on vast amounts of internet text, they might unknowingly propagate biases present in their training data."

Gonsalves, Florence, et al. “AI—the Good, the Bad, and the Scary.” Virginia Tech Engineer, 2023, eng.vt.edu/magazine/stories/fall-2023/ai.html.
