After asking a series of questions related to the
topic, I combined the responses and then asked Bing AI to write from the rough
notes. Here’s the result in
approximately 300 words:
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the
ability of machines to perform tasks that would normally require human
intelligence such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making,
and translation between languages. AI can be programmed to copy or improve on
human decision-making processes based on data. AI can also mimic aspects of
human intelligence using software, such as recommending, translating, or
recognizing. AI can use a technique called machine learning, which has become
very powerful in the last decade, to learn from data and adapt to new
situations.
Benefits of artificial intelligence
There are many benefits of artificial intelligence
(AI). One of the main benefits of AI is its ability to reduce the drudgery
involved in many work tasks. Repetitive, tedious tasks in any job are the bane
of many human workers. While monotony may result in human perfection, computer
automation remains the best and cheapest option for monotonous tasks. AI can
also help reduce human-intensive labor by leveraging on smart automation. AI
can help streamline daily processes, analyze upcoming trends, forecast growth,
and predict outcomes. AI tools are helping designers improve health care. AI
plays a substantial role in national defense. AI can also help improve customer
experiences.
Dangers of artificial intelligence
While there are many benefits to
artificial intelligence (AI), there are also some dangers that come with it.
One of the biggest dangers is that it can destroy human civilization if it goes
into the wrong hands. Another danger is that it can create new types of risks
for businesses, such as amplifying bias or leading to opaque decisions. AI
lacks creativity and bases its decisions on what has happened in the past,
which means it’s not well suited to coming up with new or innovative ideas.
This could lead to a lack of creativity in fields where creativity is
essential.
Here are the raw responses to my series of questions
(about 700 words):
What is artificial intelligence?
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the
ability of machines to perform tasks that would normally require human
intelligence such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making,
and translation between languages1. AI can be programmed to copy or improve on
human decision-making processes based on data2. AI can also mimic aspects of
human intelligence using software, such as recommending, translating, or
recognizing3. AI can use a technique called machine learning, which has become
very powerful in the last decade, to learn from data and adapt to new
situations3.

What is machine learning?
Machine learning (ML) is a subset of
artificial intelligence (AI) that involves training algorithms to make
predictions or decisions based on data1. While machine learning can be used to
create systems that mimic aspects of human intelligence, it does not
necessarily lead to self-awareness2. Even today’s robots can be programmed to
make convincing utterances about consciousness, and a truly superintelligent
machine could perhaps even use information about neurophysiology to infer the
presence of consciousness in humans2. However, machines with human-level
intelligence are on the horizon. Whether they will actually be conscious remains
unknown3.
Streamlining
Saving time
Eliminating biases
Automating repetitive tasks
Dangers of artificial intelligence
There are several dangers of AI that have
been identified by experts and researchers. Some of these include job losses
due to AI automation, social manipulation through AI algorithms, social
surveillance with AI technology, biases due to artificial intelligence,
widening socioeconomic inequality as a result of AI, weakening ethics and
goodwill because of AI, autonomous weapons powered by artificial intelligence,
and financial crises brought about by AI algorithms1. The real dangers of AI
are a bit more subtle but are no less concerning. Some of the dangers cited in
a report stem from deliberate misuse of AI — deepfake images and video used to
spread misinformation or harm people’s reputations, or online bots used to
manipulate public discourse and opinion2.
How can one detect a deepfake?
There are several ways to detect a
deepfake video or image. Here are some tips:
Pay attention to the face. High-end
DeepFake manipulations are almost always facial transformations.
Pay attention to the cheeks and forehead.
Does the skin appear too smooth or too wrinkly?
Pay attention to the eyes and eyebrows.
Pay attention to the glasses.
Pay attention to the facial hair or lack thereof.
Pay attention to facial moles.
Pay attention to blinking.
Pay attention to the lip movements1.
You can also use soft biometrics, such as
how a person talks, moves, etc., to detect deepfakes2. Researchers have also
used AI to detect deepfakes by looking for inconsistencies between “visemes,”
or mouth formations, and “phonemes,” the phonetic sounds3.
Costly implementation
Potential human job loss
Lack of emotion and creativity
AI can appear to be creative if you view
creativity as just another skill that can be learned from data1. However, there
are some concerns about whether AI can be truly creative. One of the primary
concerns is that AI lacks consciousness and emotions, which are essential for
creativity2. Another concern is that AI can only create within the boundaries
of its programming2. However, some experts believe that AI can become much more
creative if it could combine big, rich, and otherwise disconnected data3. Also,
machines may get better at creativity when they get better at the kind of broad
intelligence humans possess–something we call “general intelligence”3.
Conclusion
In conclusion, artificial intelligence has
many benefits but also poses some dangers that we should be aware of.
For the final exam, in Question 1, respond to the following:
- In your opinion, did the AI accurately summarize the raw data?
- List two or three additional queries would you have made to gather more information about AI for this topic.
- How will AI be used to develop online content in the future?
