Study Notes
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- In 2022, a Google engineer was fired for claiming a chatbot was sentient, thinking and reasoning like a seven-to-eight-year-old child.
- The engineer stated the chatbot had a perception of and ability to express thoughts and feelings equivalent to a human child.
- This incident brought increased scrutiny to AI capacity and secrecy.
Activity 1 Discussion Points
- Students are asked to discuss the engineer's statement regarding sentience in a chatbot.
- Students are asked to consider why an employee could be fired for claiming a computer program is sentient, even though computers are commonly referred to as "smart".
Background on General Problem Solver (1956)
- Allen Newell and Herbert Simon developed a program called General Problem Solver (GPS).
- GPS was designed to mimic human problem-solving behavior.
- The Means-End Analysis method is a key principle in GPS, linking symbols in daily life to their meaning.
- The program handled logical problems. It struggled with real-world issues, demonstrating limitations with general problem-solving capability.
John Searle's Scenario (1980)
- Searle's thought experiment features a person in a room who does not understand Chinese, using a guidebook to answer questions in Chinese.
- From the outside, the person appears to understand Chinese, but they lack true understanding of the language.
Activity 1: Strong and Weak Al
- Students form teams, select a search engine,
- Collaboratively define "strong AI" and "weak AI" with no more than three sentences each.
- Share these definitions with their teacher and classmates.
Machine Learning (1959)
- Arthur Samuel developed a game-playing program that could learn and improve its strategies without explicit programming.
- This approach, learning from trial and error experiences, was coined "Machine Learning".
How a Computer Could Learn
- Prior to 1959, computers received explicit input, instructions, and steps to generate defined outputs.
- In 1959, Arthur Samuel conceptualized a different approach allowing computers to autonomously deduce solutions.
- Provide inputs and outputs of a task, without explicit instructions.
- The computer's goal was to infer how to solve the task.
Types of Machine Learning
- Supervised Learning: Training the AI with extensive inputs and outputs. The AI then deduces the necessary steps to complete the task.
- Unsupervised Learning: Providing the AI with inputs without outputs. The AI then can identify patterns and relationships in the inputs.
- Reinforcement Learning: The AI interacts with an environment, taking actions based on the environment's state. The AI receives rewards or penalties based on the actions taken.
Internet of Things (IoT)
- Development of IoT devices and their combination with AI.
- Devices collect data during operations.
- Data is analyzed, learned from, and used to enhance services.
- Examples of IoT devices in smart homes.
Generative AI
- A significant advance in AI, empowering computers to create diverse types of content, such as text, images, music, etc., from previously learned patterns, styles, etc.
- It excels at producing unique content without requiring explicit programming.
Key Features of Generative AI
- Data-driven Learning: Generative AI learns by observing and examining vast datasets.
- Content Creation: Generative AI creates novel content (text, images, videos, etc.) based on patterns from the data.
Types of Generative AI
- Text-to-Text Generation: Generating text based on input text.
- Text-to-Image Generation: Generating images based on textual descriptions.
- Image-to-Image Generation: Generating images based on existing images.
- Text-to-Video Generation: Generating videos based on textual descriptions.
- Text-to-Voice Generation: Generating audio content based on text inputs.
Generative AI Applications
- Art, entertainment, design: Generating images, poems, or stories.
- Scientific investigations: Generating models or simulations.
- Variability and unpredictability: Results may be surprising.
- Ethical concerns: Originality, copyright, and potential misuse.
Activity
- Students are asked to utilize online resources to gather further information on topics of AI.
- Students may need to collaboratively search for the information.
