Artificial Intelligence is not a thing to panic over. The super-smart algorithms may be scary, but they are a tool designed to help, not destroy.
Let's set the record
straight on AI.
The Robot Rebellion is a trope as old as cinema itself.
Robot dance-off, woo!
A cyborg… with feelings?
Days of actors running around the set in tin costumes are over, and the idea of AI has advanced.
You alright, AI?

What is AI?
Explain like I'm five.
AI (Artificial Intelligence) is the ability of machines to do tasks that require human intelligence, such as using speech, language, or decision-making. These can be done through machine learning.
Wait,
Machine Learning?
Machine Learning is a subset of AI. It is the training of algorithms to recognize patterns in data so they can make decisions. Machine Learning algorithms can learn and improve their performance over time.
Sort of like...
Deep Learning?
Deep Learning is a subset of Machine Learning that uses neural networks – just like human brain – to learn and make decisions. DL can parse and recognize data patterns in images, speech, or text.
Cool! Is AI
a new concept?
Oh, it actually has quite
a history! I’ll show you!
1943
Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts proposed a model of artificial neurons in Chicago.
1956
John McCarthy coined the term "artificial intelligence" at Dartmouth Conference.
1969
Shakey the Robot demonstrated reasoning abilities at SRI International.
1980s
First expert systems were developed, using human knowledge to solve problems.
1990s
Neural networks and machine learning gaining popularity.
1997
Chess computer Deep Blue defeats grandmaster Garry Kasparov, beating a human chess pro for the first time.
2011
IBM Watson won Jeopardy! using natural language processing and machine learning.
2012
Google's neural network achieved breakthrough results in image recognition.
2016
AlphaGo, capable of machine learning, beats go master Lee Sedol in the game no grandmaster lost to a machine before.
2020s
Various AI models are being integrated into a wide range of applications, from healthcare to finance.
Sometimes, the AI will do things humans couldn’t be bothered to do. Artificial intelligence has our backs in more ways than one.
You can say it's just an algorithm in a computer. But when it comes to today's internet, AI is already here.
“I’ve never used AI, and I’ll never will!” – you say? Haha, funny ;)
Here's a place for you in the world of AI
Today, if we’re on the internet, we’re using AI-based solutions all the time – mostly unknowingly.
AI is now a superstar!

Mr Robot, can you give me some surprising AI facts, please?
70% of internet users use a device or service that's powered by artificial intelligence. Only 33% believe and are aware of the fact that they use AI.
About 25% of businesses have incorporated artificial intelligence (AI) into their operations.
The World Economic Forum estimates that over 85 million workers from the global population will lose their jobs to machines by 2025.
At the same time, AI is said to create 97 million additional jobs in the coming years.
Sometimes, the AI will do things humans couldn't be bothered to. Thanks to AI-based monitoring, artificial intelligence.
Poised to become the water of all things digital, AI is everywhere.
Healthcare
AI helps diagnose patients quicker. AI is used to detect tumors based on large databases, and can even predict potential health issues based on factors like age, genetic history, and socioeconomic status.
Education
Al is used to plan studies, analyze test results, and grade the student’s work, lessening the workload on teachers and students alike. It’s also a great tool for identifying areas where students may need more help.
Music
AI allowed music streaming services to offer recommendations to their users based on their listening habits, increasing engagement and retention. That new band you discovered last year? Thanks, AI.
Entertainment
Endless and strangely humorous AI-generated video streams are already a thing, and the growing "AI streaming "category is soon to rival popular categories, such as podcasts or talkshows.
Law
With AI-based algorithms, legal firms can easily process legal data, even in larger amounts. Al also helps speed up the court's process, simplifying the procedure for people without knowledge in the field.
Memes
AI-made funny images have already gained following from memers worldwide. One adequately named Twitter account "ShitpostBot 5000" has gained over 300.000 followers since 2015.
AI seems new and scary, but there's no need to be afraid. Let's bust some AI myths.
AI will replace all human jobs.
This is not entirely true, as while AI may automate some tasks, there are still many jobs that require a human touch, such as creative and interpersonal skills.
If AI is fed data that reflect biases, such as gender or race, it may perpetuate those biases. That's why training AI on diverse and representative data is crucial to mitigate bias and promote fairness.
AI is completely unbiased.
AI is all-knowing and infallible.
AI is only as good as the data it's trained on. It can quickly make pattern-based predictions, but it may trip up in some scenarios. Human oversight is vital to ensure any AI-made errors are corrected.
What if I told you that AI carries the potential to significantly improve the wellbeing of humankind?
Doesn't sound so
bad, isn't it?
One thing that's constant in the world of AI is change. What the future holds for AI?
If you start using AI, life will change
Ready to play fetch with an AI robo-dog?
AI algorithms are already present in many fields, which are expected to grow in the coming years.
Cheers to those opening their minds to AI!
AI will not replace humans. There's no use fighting it either. Maybe it's best to befriend it?
As with everything, in the right hands, it has the potential to make our lives better.
So we might as well learn how to use it well, right?
Exactly. And you can
start now!
