b. Asia
c. Europe
North America
Will AI replace programmers? Explain.
No. The future of programming is not a battle between humans and AI; but rather more of a collaboration.
AI models used in determining prison sentences in the criminal justice system were found to be biased against what community?
African Americans
In what years was AI first designed?
A) 2000s
B) 1990s
C) 2010s
D) 1950s
D
What country has the highest adoption rate of AI?
China
How can we prepare for an AI powered future?
1. Explore AI and Machine Learning: Take online courses or participate in workshops to learn about artificial intelligence and machine learning.
2. Explore Ethical and Social Implications
3. Be adaptable and prepared for career transitions and develop transferable skills.
What is the term for AI-generated content that convincingly alters or replaces original video or audio recordings with fabricated, often deceptive, content?
Deepfake
Can AI function without human intervention? Why or why not?
No, AI without human oversight may not produce accurate results or outcomes. For instance, data scientists must continually audit and adjust AI algorithms to ensure that the correct data is being gathered.
What is the difference between narrow AI and general AI?
Narrow AI is focused on specific tasks, and is more efficient, while general AI has a broad range of capabilities.
How many jobs is AI expected to approximately create by 2023? (in millions - can be off by 10 million)
97 million (Orrell and Veldran 10)
How does AI contribute to personalized medicine in healthcare, and what benefits does it offer to patients and healthcare providers?
- AI can analyze large volumes of patient data, and can identify patterns and trends.
- AI can predict individual patient responses to treatments and identify optimal drug combinations
What big tech company said this in 1979:
"A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision"
IBM
What do Midjourney, OpenAI's DALL-E and Stability's AI Stable Diffusion all do?
They are all generative AI programs that produce images from prompts.
Explain the concept of neural networks in AI.
A neural network is a method in artificial intelligence that teaches computers to process data in a way that is inspired by the human brain. It is a type of machine learning process, called deep learning, that uses interconnected nodes or neurons in a layered structure that resembles the human brain.
Currently, the global AI market is worth approximately $196.63 billion. Predict its worth by 2030.
It is expected to exceed $1.8 trillion by 2030
How does the concept of "algorithmic bias" in AI systems pose challenges for workforce equity and job opportunities, and what measures can organizations take to mitigate its impact on employment outcomes?
Algorithmic bias in AI systems can perpetuate existing inequalities in workforce equity by reinforcing biases present in historical data, leading to unfair hiring practices and limited job opportunities for certain demographic groups. Organizations can mitigate this impact by implementing measures such as diversifying training data, regularly auditing algorithms for bias, and involving diverse stakeholders in the development and evaluation of AI systems.
What was the Cambridge Analytica Scandal?
In 2018 it was found that a 3rd-party firm had been given access to the personal data of approximately 87 million Facebook users back in 2014. All without their consent. And this company, Cambridge Analytica, used the data to influence politics and manipulate public opinion.
