What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI is intelligence displayed by
machines. At its core, AI
refers to scenarios where a
machine mimics the cognitive
functions associated with
human minds.
AI is MI

Artificial intelligence (AI), sometimes

known as machine intelligence, refers to
the ability of computers to perform
human-like feats of cognition including:
✓learning,
✓problem-solving,
✓perception,
✓decision-making,
✓and speech and language.
 Early AI Systems

Early AI systems had the ability to defeat a

world chess champion. Deep Blue and
Kasparov played each other on two
occasions.
❖The first match began 10th of
February 1996. However, Kasparov
won and the match concluded on 17
February 1996.
❖Deep Blue was then heavily upgraded
and played Kasparov again in May
1997, winning the six-game.
AI Sophisticated Applications

Thanks to more advanced algorithms, data volumes,

and computer power and storage, AI evolved and
expanded to include more sophisticated applications,
such as:

➢giving directions using map streets like Waze

➢compose music
➢self-driving cars
➢improved fraud detection
➢“personal assistants” like Siri and Alexa
AI is driving
technological force

Businesses and
governments
worldwide are
pouring enormous
sums of money into
very wide array of
implementations.
Balancing AI Between
Reality and Hype

Per Gartner Diagram,

each technology can be
said to reside
somewhere on the curve
at any given time

Emerging
Technology Trends

Gartner organized the 17

technologies into five major
trends.

Educators Challenge

• Mike Walker, the Research Vice President at Gartner has stated

“As a technology leader, you will continue to be faced with rapidly

accelerating technology innovations that will profoundly impact the
way you deal with your workforce, customers and partners. The
trends exposed by these emerging technologies are poised to be the
next most impactful technologies that have the potential to disrupt
your business, and must be actively monitored by your executive
teams”
AI is not Static

It Learns and Thinks - AI is not explicitly programmed

to respond a certain way, it learns to respond that
way.

Coupling such learning with the modern capabilities

available to software programs, including Internet
connectivity, the ability to store and process huge
volumes of data quickly and without fatigue, and
recall data perfectly, leads to machines that can
complement and augment human capabilities.
Thierry Karsenti
University of Montreal Canada

“training and support for

teachers and other school
staff are extremely
important, since they are the
cornerstone of the action
plan”
 AI amplifies Human Capabilities

Partners building AI solutions need to see

AI not as something that is replacing
human capability, but rather amplifying
it with the strengths of the machine.

One of the main advantages is that by

automating complicated and time-
consuming tasks, AI frees up time that
would be spent on them.
 “Today we don’t think of
aviation as ‘artificial flight’—it’s
simply flight. In the same way,
we shouldn’t think of
AI amplifies technological intelligence as
Human artificial, but rather as
intelligence that serves to
Capabilities augment human capabilities and
capacities.”

Satya Nadella, Hit Refresh

 AI centers around amplifying the
unique cognitive ingenuity of humans

AI centers around amplifying

the unique cognitive ingenuity
of humans (imagining, creating,
reasoning, and problem solving)
and marrying it with best traits
from intelligent technology
(comprehending, handling of
extreme detail, calculation,
memory and recall, and
organizing).
15
AI Sophisticated
Applications

Today, medical researchers

are using AI to develop
technology that will detect a
range of diseases, improve
radiology imaging, fine-tune
radiation treatments, simplify
DNA sequencing, and advance
precision medicine for more
individualized health care.
AI will assume job tasks, not necessarily
eliminate the job.
 No longer
science
fiction
AI and robotics are
transforming
healthcare
Ethical AI

✓Principles of Trustworthy AI

✓Governance Framework

✓Industry Participation
Principles of Trustworthy AI

There are six principles that

should be the foundation of AI:

✓Fairness,
✓Reliability,
✓Privacy and Security,
✓Inclusiveness,
✓Transparency and
✓Accountability
Governance Framework

A governance model is key to

shepherding an organization to a
common framework for building and
deploying AI solutions that adhere
to the organization’s ethical
patterns and practices.
Masayoshi Son, CEO of the Japanese
multinational conglomerate SoftBank
He is an enthusiastic investor in AI, recently said that his
company seeks

“to develop affectionate robots that can make people

smile.” But if AI is truly to make people happier, let alone
make society as a whole better off, we have to get the
rules and standards right. To achieve that goal,
governments and the private sector need to conceive
robust collaborative models to govern critical AI today.
The outcome of this effort will determine whether
humankind will prevail in creating AI technologies that
will benefit us without destroying us.
Industry Participation

A continuing collaboration between

❖Government
❖Business
❖Civil society
❖Academic researchers

will be essential to shape the development and

deployment of human-centered AI to be
trustworthy.
What kind of Schools do we want in future?

➢Will the technology giants be in sole charge of the

ways that artificial intelligence is used for learning?

Or

➢Will students and teachers be able to ask questions

and provide clear, constructive, responsible, and
ethical guidelines for how technology is used?
Stephen Hawking…Our Call to Action
“The development of full AI could spell the end of the human race.”

If a superior alien civilisation sent us a message saying, “We’ll arrive

in a few decades,” would we just reply, “OK, call us when you get
here – we’ll leave the lights on”?

Probably not – but this is more or less what is happening with AI.
Although we are facing potentially the best or worst thing to happen
to humanity in history, little serious research is devoted to these
issues [...].

All of us should ask ourselves what we can do now to improve the

chances of reaping the benefits and avoiding the risks.
