Narrator:Wow, that’s a big queue! That ice cream must be pretty delicious. Your stand is very popular. Oh, what’s that in the water? A sea turtle. Mmm… It looks a bit worried. I wonder if it needs something. Are you going to ask AI?
(Chicken and Agent nod affirmatively )
Good idea! Oh, careful with the tablet. It’s just waiting to send your question to the AI in the cloud. Not an actual cloud, but a place on the internet where information is stored and processed. Are you connected to the internet? Great!
When you ask AI a question, it breaks your question into tiny blocks of information. Hop on. Let’s see what happens next.
Your question travels over the internet. Eventually, your question ends up in a place like this. It’s called a data centre. There are many data centres like this one all over the world, and they often work together. Oh look, here comes your question now.
AI is really good at maths. It turns your question into numbers, then looks for patterns to help it understand what you mean. Once AI reads your question, it predicts the best answer. Then it sends the answer back to your device.
AI says at this time of year, sea turtles often return to the same beach to lay their eggs. The problem is, they won’t lay their egg sunless there’s plenty of peace and quiet. We should help get everyone out of the way. Are you worried that this might also be a nesting ground for sea turtles?
Great idea! Ask AI what beaches sea turtlelike to nest on. Okay. Let’s see. AI says that it can’t tell you about every single beach in the world. There are just too many. Ah, but wait. It says that there isa big research project where scientists are using AIto answer your question. These scientists have been studying sea turtles, learning where they swim, eat, and travel using years of research and local knowledge. Then they use AI to organise and understand all that information. So now we can predict which beaches the sea turtles are most likely to nest on.
We really learned a lot today. Now we know about cloud computing and data centre sand a lot about sea turtles. And you learned how to use big computer power to solve big problem sand help everyone, even the very small.
