Dear MEL Topic Readers,
What is AI, how does it work and why are some people concerned about
it?
AI can create new content, including text, images, and videos, write
code, or hold text conversations with users by learning from vast quantities of
existing data. AI is also used for voice-controlled virtual assistants like
Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa, and recommending features in social platforms
like TikTok, YouTube, or Facebook. In addition, generative AI can produce music
and artwork. In the meantime, while AI improves productivity, it has eliminated
thousands of human jobs. Also, critics are concerned about AI reproducing biased
information, discriminating against certain social groups, and creating biases when
it learn information from inaccurate or inappropriate sources. Indeed, AI is so
convenient and helpful that students and workers often use it inattentively or
unconsciously in schools and workplaces, creating irresponsible outputs. In addition
to generative AI, agentic AI is on the horizon, which autonomously takes
actions, makes decisions, and adapts to new situations once specific goals are
given. In order to provide AI services and solutions, a lot of new data centers
are being built, and more are being planned. They house thousands of racks of
computer servers that require an enormous amount of electricity to run and
water to keep them cool. Another human-caused pressure on the environment. Does
AI provide solutions to its own problems?
