Artificial intelligence (AI) involves developing algorithms and computer programs that can perform human-like tasks such as visual perception and speech. AI technologies include machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, robotics, and neural networks. AI is already widely used and is expected to further transform many industries and jobs. While AI may replace some roles like drivers and receptionists, it will also create new jobs related to developing, training, and overseeing AI systems to ensure they are helpful, harmless, and honest. There are risks associated with AI like job losses, lack of data privacy, and potential use by hackers, so it is important to guide the development of beneficial AI.
