    Artificial Intelligence is basically the science of making machines that can think and judge like humans. AI artificial intelligence is designed to meet human needs by collaborating and augmenting people. The goal of AI is to be able to do things such as recognize patterns and make decisions. During the presentations we learned and discussed the significance of AI during our everyday life.

    To begin with, how AI is being used in Education? Well, many schools are using chatbots which these have artificial intelligence and guide students with personalized assistance. AI also help teachers, it can generate assessment questions for teachers to use, detect misunderstanding and suggest new ideas for teachers to explore. We learned the positive and negative effects of AI in education. AI can assess each student’s progress and provide feedback by helping them identify their strengths and areas for improvement. Some negative effects of AI in education is students can decrease social connection and students might use AI to solve homework problems or take quizzes.

    

    To continue, we discussed how AI could be good or bad for mental health. I really enjoyed this topic because mental health is extremely important if affects how we think, feel, and act. It has been recognized that AI play an important role in improving mental health. AI can be used to monitor and track the mental health status of patients over time. This can help to detect changes in mental health status early and provide timely interventions. AI in mental health is set to revolutionize how we diagnose, treat, and support people with mental health issues. AI in mental health provide better insights into the causes of mental health issues, enabling more effective preventions strategies and solutions. I also learned about the history of AI in mental health and the progress of chatbots. The first chatbot was created in 1996 (Eliza) it is used by recognizing keywords in a user’s statement, is a conversation an individual would have with a therapist. On our present time we used Siri, Alexa, google assistant and AI- powered chatbots using NLP.

 

   What are the positive impacts of AI in social media? Well, the user experience on social media platforms provides personalized recommendations while assisting moderation and targeting. The widespread adoption of AI in various domains continues and improves our daily lives. Some examples are food and cooking AI technology apps offer recipe recommendations, environmental monitoring it assist in the understanding of climate change and extreme weather events, security AI-based facial recognition and video surveillance systems enhance security in public and private properties and public transport AI is used for the optimization of public transport routes and schedules making commuting more efficient. I found this topic very important as well because AI in social media is creating a more welcoming media to identify hateful or inappropriate content. What to expect in the future with AI? On popular opinions are also negative thoughts about AI for example we expect high unemployment AI may replace many people jobs. It will create lazy humans AI being capable of completing many tasks while leading people to lack of productivity and lack of creativity human may rely on AI instead of using their own creativity like creating music, movies, etc.

   

    How AI changed for the good in sports? Performance analysis: AI has still played a big part in evaluating player performance. Insights into player movements, strategy, and game dynamic provided using sophisticated data analytics and computer vision techniques. Coaches and athletes can use this information to support data-driven decisions that will enhance performance. Injury prevention these devices integrate sensors to track movement, posture, and muscle activity. Monitoring devices helps prevent overexertion and ensures that people are using the correct form. Recruitment and scouting AI capabilities are becoming essential for finding and hiring talented players. They can use the enormous quantity of player data available to them to unearth undiscovered gems and make better draft choices. The future in sport with AI will improve the amounts of data to analyze the players performances, strengths, and weakness.  AI can help increase productivity, reduce costs, and improve the quality of products and services. In many fields AI can improve outcomes and accelerate progress.             

    Florida is taking investments in workforce development and educational programs to meet the increased need for AI-related abilities. This might involve forming partnerships with academic institutions. AI has the potential to have a big impact on a lot of different businesses and careers since it can be improved decision-making and open new opportunities. AI offers numerous benefits and has the potential to make a positive impact on various aspects of people’s lives. What MDC needs to do to assist with helping navigate this current new technology? Inviting individuals with a career or advanced knowledge on AI to the campus, make an AI course mandatory, that way students have the need to at least have a basic knowledge and comprehension on AI. More on campus events where student can learn more about AI and future career paths in that field, promote AI in a positive and educational way, and not as a technology that will replace jobs and careers. Create workshops that go more in depth on all this new technology. This is what I learned and found it very interesting how mdc could help navigate this new technology. 

     Overall, AI is seen as good or bad depends on people’s opinions, it all depends on how society, businesses, and governments manage and respond to these changes. AI has the potential to bring about many significant advances, but the main key is responsible implement to ensure that these advancements benefit a wide range of people and minimize any negative consequences. I learn many things about the presentations they were very interesting and something I will keep in mind all the time. It has a clear object, well-rehearsed, the contact information is clearly featured. What I like more about this project is that we learned more about AI and how the technology is getting very advanced every day. Knowing how AI is being used in many fields in our daily lives is very important. Learning about AI is essential to prepare us for future academic career and success.
