Study Notes
Hardware
- The main or mother board contains the central processing unit (CPU) and other control chips
- Graphics cards are a type of hardware specifically designed for rendering images and other visuals
- Random access memory (RAM) is a type of volatile memory that stores data for the currently running programs and processes
- Permanent storage for data can be accomplished through two different methods; hard disc drives (HDD) and solid state drives (SSD)
- Input/Output (I/O) refers to components that allow the computer to receive and send information
Software
- Programs that are copied or installed by users to be executed by computers are referred to as software
- Programs are stored on the computer's hard drive and loaded into RAM for execution
- Firmware is a type of software that is built into the computer and cannot be changed by users.
- Firmware is stored in a special type of memory called Read Only Memory (ROM)
Artificial Intelligence
- Algorithms that allow computers to think, solve problems, or create new content are considered a form of artificial intelligence
- Artificial intelligence can be implemented in many different ways, with two common types being rule-based AI and neural networks
- Neural networks that use deep learning are particularly powerful and form the basis of many modern AI systems
- Tools like Large Language Models (LLMs) are a type of AI that are being used to create AI powered chatbots like ChatGPT
- Diffusion Image Models are another type of AI and can be used to generate images such as with DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, and Midjourney
- Modern AI systems that rely on deep learning are often criticised for only being able to predict outcomes based on common patterns as opposed to structured knowledge like humans
- Critically and ethically using AI tools is very important as they can be used to generate content that may only look good but may not actually be correct
Ethics and Intellectual Property
- All AI generated content should be properly identified
- There is an ongoing debate about whether all AI generated content should be considered plagiarism
- It is important to understand the ethical use of AI
- Individuals should be aware of the potential for incorrect information or sub-optimal design when relying on AI tools
