Tuesday July 2 : DAY #1
Human Intelligence (also known as Common Sense) involves:
1. Responding flexibly to situations
2. Making sense of conflicting and contradictory messages
3. Recognizing differences
4. Finding similarities despite any differences
5. Drawing distinctions between situations despite similarities

What is Artificial Intelligence? Where do you see it used? Discussion
WHAT'S IN THE BOX? SOLVE USING YOUR INTELLIGENCE !!!!!
In-Class students, working in two teams, will place an object in the box.
Online students and the opposite in-class team will guess the object.
Each team must create a written list of object characteristics (Who, what, where, when why and IF-THEN).
Humans solve problems by asking questions:
Who? What? Where? When? Why? How?
Humans make connections (Heuristics)
IF ... THEN
An ALGORITHM is like the recipe behind AI operating systems
There are three parts to an algorithm:
(1) input/data, (2) specific steps and rules to change that data, (3) output
An algorithm needs some input data and follows specific steps or instructions to give us a desired output. Computers use algorithms, but so do humans.
Prompt: in what way(s) is your behaviour like an algorithm
Example, if I bake a cake, my algorithm would consider the following ingredients: flour, sugar, salt, eggs, yeast, flavour, etc.
I would mix together my dry ingredients and then mix in the wet ingredients like eggs or milk.
I would pour the mixture into a cake pan, set the oven to 350, and put the cake pan in the oven.
My output would be a cake!
USE ChatGPT as an example. William Shakespeare's writing
NOTE:
Now write your own algorithm. Take the next 15 minutes to write an “algorithm” for something you do in your life every day. Write 5-10 specific steps and rulesChatGPT (Ans: Generative Pre-training Transformer)
Grammar: generate (verb) synonyms (create, result in, produce, make, cause)
Transform (verb): (change, alter, redo, modify)
What do you already know about AI: The Good and the Bad?
"As AI grows in complexity, the risks of unintended AUTONOMOUS decision-making and EXISTENTIAL threats cannot be ignored." What do the words AUTONOMOUS and EXISTENTIAL mean?
Let's begin your physical "Personal Dictionary" and "Journal for Reflection" Make a list of unintended and existential threats to humanity that you can imagine happening from AI.

Science fiction author Isaac Asimov, the mind behind I, Robot, Foundation, Bicentennial Man and The Caves of Steel, discusses his three laws of robotics. He also muses about a future where humankind becomes more and more mechanical, while robots become more and more organic - to the point where it will become hard to tell the difference. between the two.
