    What

    is AI?
    Introduction
    AI stands for "artificial intelligence," and refers to the
    ability of machines to perform tasks that typically
    require human intelligence, such as recognising speech,
    making decisions, or learning from experience.

    AI is used in various domains, including virtual


    assistants (e.g. Siri), self-driving cars, fraud detection,
    and recommendation systems.

    Types of AI
    AI is a branch of computer science that focuses on developing algorithms and systems that
    can show intelligence. It comes in different types and subsets.

    Narrow or weak AI refers to General or strong AI Artificial

    What is AI?

    As an example of how AI can work, consider AlphaGo. AlphaGo


    is an AI that can do one thing – play a game called ‘Go’. It
    learns independently by playing itself – it is estimated that after
    its first few months, it had played perhaps five million games
    against itself, far more than any human could ever hope to play
    (its successor, AlphaGo Zero, played 4.9 million games in three
    days!). AlphaGo was able to beat a very successful human player
    over five games in 2016, proving that its learning was genuine.

    AI Application
    AI is being used in various fields, such as healthcare (e.g. disease diagnosis, drug
    discovery), transportation (e.g. vehicles that drive themselves, traffic management), finance
    (e.g. fraud detection, investment advice), and entertainment (e.g. video game AI, movie
    recommendations). AI is improving efficiency, accuracy, and safety in these industries, but
    it also raises concerns about job displacement, bias, and privacy infringement.

    Concerns and Limitations


    There are concerns that AI may lead to more bias. AI bias refers to the tendency of AI
    systems to replicate and amplify human biases and stereotypes. For example, the AI ChatGPT
    relies on millions of texts but does not understand their meaning. Therefore, it will simply
    repeat the information it has, and may not be able to check for biases.

    Job displacement is another big issue. This refers to the potential loss of jobs and skills
    due to automation and AI. Many people who currently do jobs with computers, such as
    programmers, writers, and more, could find their jobs are replaced by AI.

    Conclusion
    AI has the potential to revolutionise many aspects
    of society and improve people's lives, but it also
    requires careful management and regulation to
    ensure its benefits and mitigate its risks.

    The development of AI should involve collaboration


    and ethical considerations, as well as public
    awareness and participation.

    This resource has been made for the purpose of teaching English language learners. We know that students can be learning English in many different places, in many different ways and at age, so we try to
    keep these resources as general as possible.
    There are many acronyms associated with English language teaching. These include (but are not limited to) ELT, TEFL, EFL, ELL, EAL and ESOL. While the term ESL may not fully represent the linguistic
    backgrounds of all students, it is the most widely recognised term for English language teaching globally. Therefore, we use the term ‘ESL’ in the names of our resources to make them easy to find but they are
    suitable for any student learning to speak English.

    1. What does the term "AI" stand for?

    "AI" stands for "artificial intelligence."

    2. Define "Narrow or weak AI" and give an example.

    "Narrow or weak AI" are AI systems that can perform specific tasks well but are not
    capable of general intelligence. An example of this is digital voice assistants such as Siri.

    3. What is "General or strong AI" and how does it differ from weak AI?

    "General or strong AI" refers to AI systems that can perform any intellectual task
    that a human can do. Such an AI could be equal to humans in intelligence.

    4. Define "Artificial superintelligence" and provide an example.

    "Artificial superintelligence" refers to hypothetical AI systems that are far more


    intelligent than humans and can improve their own intelligence through learning. At
    the moment, such AI only exists in science fiction stories.

    5. What is "Job displacement" and how is it related to AI?

    "Job displacement" refers to the potential loss of jobs and skills due to automation
    and AI.

    2. What is the difference between Narrow or weak AI and General or strong AI?

    Narrow or weak AI can perform specific tasks well but it is not capable of general
    intelligence, while General or strong AI can perform any intellectual task that a
    human can do.
