Finding information used to be a lot like fishing. You had to hunt in so many different places. And if you didn’t fish in the right place, you wouldn’t catch what you were looking for. But now you can search for the information you need using the power of artificial intelligence, AI.
AI is a technology created by people to help us with lots of things, including suggesting ideas to help solve big problems. It’s a bit tricky to explain so Chicken has kindly offered to help. Thanks Chicken. Firstly, programmers, the people, must teach the AI. This is a bit like trying to teach Chicken massive amounts of new things. It’s a lot to take in.
Once the AI model has absorbed all the information, it starts to find patterns within it. For example, books about tigers often mention cats, but websites about cats rarely mention cars. Pictures of cars can include dogs but studies about dogs rarely mention saxophones. These are patterns. AI can read these patterns and after it’s found millions of them, it starts to make predictions. For instance, AI can see that fish are unlikely to be found in trees or fields or mugs of water or puddles but AI also sees that fish do live in large bodies of water like ponds and rivers. AI can make mistakes. It’s right about whales living in water but wrong about them living in ponds. Always double check what AI tells you. Like most technology, AI is being improved all the time. Chicken, you have done an amazing job. Thanks for your help. What do you think AI will be able to do next?
